The spacious room is good for 4/5 family member. We choose the double queen bed. Kids love the bathtub , but hot/ cold water for shower kinda hard to control. Air cond / fans there is both in room, which is good. Nearby there is a food court , (nyonya laksa ,fried chicken wing ,fried oyster , cendol ) which I personally recommend. Morning session have few kopitam just walking distance.

Beautiful place. Large comfortable room with nice decor. It has a great team of staff who are always ready to assist. Good location and yet, not on a busy and noisy street. Everything is within walking distance and many options for eating and shopping.

I stayed at the Jawi Peranakan Mansion in Georgetown, Penang and was transported back to the opulent era of the Jawi Peranakan families. The hotel meticulously restored the exquisite 19th-century mansion to its original splendour, with stunning wood carvings, intricate furnishings, and decorative motifs that evoked Penang's rich heritage and cultural diversity. The ambience of my charmingly appointed mansion suite was cosy, elegant and evocative of a bygone era. Every detail immerses guests in the unique blend of Chinese and Malay cultures that define Penang. The soft lighting, plush bed, and tasteful decor invited me to unwind and indulge. My only complaint was the faulty shower handle, where I could not control the water temperature. The exceptional service provided by the staff made my stay even more unique. The warm and welcoming staff made me feel like a VIP guest. The hotel staff also offered plenty of information on the fascinating history of the mansion, and I could explore the beautifully restored public areas of the building at my leisure. The mansion boasts a rich collection of antiques, family heirlooms, and decorative items, each with a unique story that adds to the place's mystique. The location of the hotel was perfect for exploring Georgetown's many attractions. Situated in a charming, quiet neighbourhood that exuded a sense of old-world charm, it was just a stone's throw away from the bustling city centre. I enjoyed wandering around the area, discovering quaint cafes, antique shops, and art galleries, all within walking distance. I highly recommend the Jawi Peranakan Mansion for travellers who appreciate a unique, boutique hotel experience combining luxury, history, and cultural immersion. The stunning design, personalized service, and location make it the perfect choice for anyone seeking an authentic Penang experience.…

A memorable stay at Jawi Peranakan Mansion because of the professional and helpful staff, and a comfortable room in beautiful surroundings. I’m making plans to return. The place is filled with interesting “living art”pieces and it feels like staying in a home rather than a hotel.

7 of us stayed here in august 2022 for 3 nights. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool is well maintained, just big enough for a swim. Nice outside spaces to relax and meet. The villas for 2 are easily large enough for 4 and have a cute courtyard. Hotel is beautifully restored mansion, from what I could see all rooms are individual.

It was a different experience as compared to normal hotel. The mansion definitely had some age which can be seen from the stain n colour of the mosaic in bath floor, washing basin. We took a mansion suit which comes with 2 King bed n can sleep up to 4 comfortably. The bath room comes with a bath tub too. Room was very spacious but no sound proving. We could hear the guests at the ground floor swimming pool from our room at level 1. We also find the hot water from water heater inconsistent when using the rain shower. We wish there's room slippers provided as the floor could be cold. free hot drinks were provided at their pantry over at ground level. There's also water dispenser available at pantry for guest use. Bottled water were provided in room. But we would prefer if there's kettle in room so that we do not have to get out of room if we wanted some hot drinks at night. Location is good. Within walking distance to some main attractions in Georgetown or an easy 5min grab ride. One thing to note it's nearby a mosque which have morning prayer during our stay. N they blast the praying via amplifier so technically we were woken up before 7am. That was rather unexpected. Overall an authentic peranakan experience.…

The hotel reception is excellent. The location is perfect. The room is amazing. Not a hotel for under 25 year old. The beverage bar as a self help is a great idea but needs attention. The supplies should be stored in airtight containers and the drawers in the server need to be cleaned up. Hot water could be an issue to some guests. The nearby mosque adds to the ambience. The decorating in the hotel is above expectations and provides a mystical experience. The ice lolly is a great idea after a long walk.

The Jawi Peranakan really is as beautiful as the photos. We stayed for 6 nights with 2 kids in-tow and the house and our room felt more comfortable with each passing day. Space within the Mansion room is very well planned, and we were able to set up our laptops on the two desks, store a little bit of food and drinks in the fridge, and relax together on the couch. We enjoyed exploring as much as the kids did... padding downstairs morning and night for coffee or tea. There is a beautiful little tiled lap pool, shady seats under the eaves and outdoors under a pagoda that are all very pleasant for a meal. And the staff are really the best! One of our kids needed medical v early in the stay and Reni helped us organise that and the follow-up over several days. Super calm, efficient and caring!…
