Nice property with spacious rooms
Pros:

Convenient location with nice cafes and restaurants within walking distance. Love the courtyard- could feel the calmness as soon as we walk through the gate. The staff members are friendly and helpful. Free snacks, fruits and drinks for guests which are much appreciated. We didn’t get to use the pool but it is nice that it is available. The room is spacious and the bed is spacious and comfortable! And we love the decor with cultural elements!

Cons:

Some small things that can be improved on:
- lots of ants in the bathroom (by the sink) and clearly they have a home in that room… there are also some by the bedside table close to the bathroom.
- the shower pressure and hot water is not stable.
- And impossible to use the head shower properly as after a couple of minutes it switches back to the other one…

Charming boutique hotel, family friendly & great location
Pros:

Absolutely charming boutique hotel in a nice part of Penang where you’re still in a quiet area but an easy walk or Grab to the closest places of interest, malls, eateries etc. I loved the Mansion Villa room as it was like a little house and great for our family of 3 with a toddler who could enjoy playing downstairs or in the outdoor courtyard. Our toddler also loved the outdoor fountain, pool and nearby local playground. The staff were really nice and accomodating.
We also loved the communal dining table as we had multiple rooms/families on the trip we could congregate there, dining facilities to use & air con.

Cons:

Tiny piece was just the cot was not up to scratch on arrival, it was quite well used and didn’t have a sufficient mattress which for the price we paid per night for just the additional cot did not meet my expectation. However, the staff took my feedback and addressed it by adding/buying a mattress so we were happy with the resolution :)

Great immersive stay in a beautiful mansion in the heart of Georgetown. Room was very well decorated and Priya and the o
Pros:

Ideally situated in Georgetown where we could immerse in the town’s rich history by staying at the mansion.

Cons:

Windows in room couldn’t be opened so there was a persistent musty odor due to lack of aeration.

Pros:

The unique historic ambiance created by the design and furnishings.
The quiet and peacefulness.
Family suite- very comfortable for 4 people but since 4 people is sharing one space, you can easiy step out of the room to the thoughtfully arranged common areas to speak without disturbing your room mates.
The mansion was surrounded by several good eateries within 5 mins walk.
