Would stay again
Pros:

Beautiful place, really pretty and gives tranquil vibes. Staff incredibly friendly. Breakfast was basic but not bad, but nice to have the option if it's included anyway. Also very friendly cats who enjoy a pat if you see them lounging around.
Rooms were large and very comfortable. Room had AC and fan so kept cool easily without feeling stuffy.
Close to hawker centres, restaurants and convenience stores, but far enough away that it's quiet at night.
Walkable or cheap grab to most places.

Cons:

Nothing major. Only minor inconvenience is they ask you to leave your room key in a bowl when you go out so they can help keep track of when you're in or out of the property since it's only small. Not problematic though.

Steeped in the character of Georgetown.
Pros:

A delightfully stylish and characterful hotel - all the staff were friendly and attentive, even the cats.

Cons:

In the heat of Penang a small pool would have been heaven - but it probably wouldn't be possible with such a small and homely hotel.

We expected a 5 star hotel but was way below expectations, very nice interior and decor though.

Pros:

Lovely property, good location

Cons:

The room was on the ground floor, street-side. Loud sounds of cars and bikes all night long and interfered with sleep. The tea cups would rattle everytime a car or bike sped by - very jarring.

Tre giorni a George Town
Pros:

Accogliente e comoda per muoversi a piedi in centro. Il personale sempre disponibile e cordiale. Carina l’idea di offrire un tea time nel pomeriggio. Colazione basica ma molto buona.

Cons:

Scarsa pulizia

Ein Juwel mitten im Trubel
Pros:

Ein wunderschönes altes Herrenhaus mitten in George Town. Ein Juwel mit einem ruhigen, schönen Garten. Kein klassisches Hotel von der Stange, liebevoll restauriert, überall stehen Antiquitäten herum, lokale Kunst an den Wänden und überall kleine Rückzugsorte, Bibliothek und 2 Hauskatzen.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war insgesamt gut und bot eine solide Auswahl. Zwar entsprach es nicht ganz unserem persönlichen Geschmack, aber das ist natürlich von Land zu Land unterschiedlich. Insgesamt ein angenehmer Start in den Tag
