Do It you wont regret it. The history behind this fabulous house and its charm are what memories of
Pros:

There's not much to say apart from spectacular old world charm. The room is very large nice bathroom cloths storage and our room have access to the pool via a courtyard. The bar was cosy and the staff fantastic.

Cons:

It's not that i didn't like it but is a moderate walk in the heat to the centre of Georgetown. Not the end of the world and you can always take a taxi, there are shops restaurants close by so no big deal.

Would bring families and friends
Pros:

Historic, Beautiful, great staff, great tour and great food.

A truly special place to stay in Penang
Pros:

This was the highlight of our three-night stay in George Town, Penang. You can tell the care that went into restoring and maintaining this beautiful, historic property. The staff are top notch, from the friendly main entrance guard who always greeted us with a smile whenever we entered and exited the property to the helpful front desk staff, cleaning staff, and many more. We loved our room, the Mandarin, and the little touches from the decor to the complimentary daily treats and drink cartons. The pool with a switch to turn on the jacuzzi, and garden are lovely as well, and the breakfast buffet had a good variety of food. We joined one of the 3:30 pm tours led by Sally who was informative and entertaining as she explained the history and design of the mansion. Highly recommend anyone visiting George Town to stay here, and if we were to ever return to the city, we would jump at the chance to stay here again.

It is absolutely an honour to stay here.
Pros:

This was my first time to Penang and this unique historical setting took me back in time as well as to a new country. The elegance and beauty were beyond expectations. You could get carried away with the surroundings but what is the quality of the stay? Well it is equally amazing. From the man that welcomes you at the gate with a beautiful smile to the reception staff, who will help with anything you request. (In my case sending postcards back home.) The rooms are clean and so many little thoughtful ideas are added. (Thanks to the efforts of Hoque) The daily turn down service was unique each evening. At breakfast we were treated like guests to their home by Jalal and his colleagues. In the evening enjoy a drink from Shobor who is great behind the bar. This hotel is unique in making you feel like you are at home. This is maybe because it was a home in the past. But the current custodians are welcoming guests on a phenomenal level. I would like to end with the queen of the house. Ginger the cat who is an absolute delight to see roaming and ruling her house. I will be returning .

Cons:

Maybe the only area that needs improvement is the pool. The location is by a busy road, although hidden from the road. It’s noisy and the pollution from the road affects the water.

erg mooi hotel, wat meteen het mooiste museum in George Town is.
Pros:

Erg mooi hotel dat in het huis van de ooit rijkste man van Azië zit. Interessante geschiedenis en erg vriendelijk personeel. De dagelijkse rondleiding van een uur in bij de overnachting inbegrepen.

Cons:

Het zit wel aan de rand van het stadje, dus je moet iets meer lopen. Verder is de boot om in George Town te komen "digitaal" gegaan zodat het zonder passende bankpas - mits die het dan doet als buitenlandse reiziger - onmogelijk is om mee te varen. In Maleisië zijn ze helemaal mal geworden met digitaal gaan.
