Home away from hone.

I stayed in the blue room. The place has a really nice feel to it. Jeng is an amazing guy who knows a lot about Penang and doesn't mind sharing info with the house guests. He planned our 3 days in Penang and also helped us find good vegetarian restaurants in the area. Highly recommended. Keep in mind it is not a hotel with fancy reception and room service. But with the room you get an ever smiling Jeng who is ready to make your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible.

We stayed at this charming converted shophouse and loved everything about it -- from the gigantic apartment-style suites with hardwood floors and four-poster beds; to the marvelous location just steps from Armenian and Chulia Streets; to the incredibly gracious manager, Jern. Jern did everything to make sure we were comfortable -- from making dinner reservations to picking us up at the train station to setting us up with bicycles. We give it our highest recommendation.

Before coming to location, features and amenities, let me just say, after staying in more than 100s of hotels, never have I experienced such a homely environment, where Jern will basically take care of everything. Thats the guy who runs the business.

Stayed there 2 nights, great location, edge of the Heritage area, making it much less noisier than other places there. No breakfast though. Jern gave us info on everything we needed, places to go, the nice eateries, the best money exchange, etc. He also got our laundry done lol along with our tickets to Ipoh.

We had the 'orange' room. had everything we need, from coffee to a reading table to an ironing board, plus a small balcony to smoke.

One more thing, every resident has a personal key card that lets you enter the main building, and so there are times when there is no one at the reception. But the hotel will be at your service through WhatsApp 24/7.

Also, though we didn't get into any trouble during our stay, the area outside does get really empty at night, as in u can hardly see a soul.

P.S. Jern, if you read this, coming to Karachi Pakistan... you are our guest.
cheers.

Before arrival we were given clear instructions by Jern as well as upon entry to the hotel and room. Jern is very accommodating and nice.

Actual room is really nice and gigantic compared to the pictures in Agoda. Worth every single penny. Hotel is close to georgetown street art, malls, street food and shisha places or bars, massages and 10mins drive (if no jam) from Penang Hill.

Room tip: Huge Room, Nice Bathroom, Big Bed, Nice play close to everything, with A/C and Fan, Jern is very nice and accommodating.

Highly recommend this gem of a place— it’s close to everything and the rooms are BEAUTIFUL, you feel like you’re staying at your own luxurious apartment home rather than a hotel. Jern is also exceptionally accommodating and wonderful! ❤️❤️🥂

We booked the Deluxe King Room for 3 days 2 nights. The room was spacious but I feel like there were a lot of unused space because of how it stretches. It was a tiny bit inconvenient that the wardrobe is placed far from the bedroom. But wasn't a deal breaker. Jern was hospitable and friendly. We were able to check in by 1pm which was so convenient. The bed is so comfy and we had uninterrupted sleep.
