Do yourself a favour and book this place. I didn’t want another hotel room and at Muntri Grove I had a beautifully resto
Pros:

Beautiful and large room, location close to heart of historic area of Georgetown, great pool, super friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

N/A There was some local music noise from bars on some nights (not every night) but it didn’t bother me and ear plugs are provided by management, in case.

Pros:

A very charming place. Huge bedroom. Incredible bed. Pretty good location with bars and restaurants around, 15mins by foot away from the main attractions.

Cons:

A bit overpriced in my opinion. The windows were giving on the outside corridor for every guest to go in their rooms. It had charm, but lacking some privacy.

Toller Aufenthalt an zentraler Lage
Pros:

Wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt im Muntri Grove.
Das Hotel liegt extrem zentral, was die Erkundung der Stadt sehr einfach gemacht hat. Super sind die hohen Räume, die dem grossen Zimmer eine richtig luftige und angenehme Atmosphäre verleihen.
Ein grosses Plus ist die Aufteilung von Bad und WC. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und mit Moskito Netz ausgestattet. Das Personal war extrem nett und zu jederzeit hilfsbereit.
Frühstücksmöglichkeiten befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe. Absolute Empfehlung.

Very happy stay at Muntri Grove. Great location, great facilities, great staff.
Pros:

Location was great, staff were super friendly. Anything you asked for was looked after quickly. The pool was wonderful, the bed, while firm was good after we added a mattress topper.

Cons:

Noise at night from nearby Karaoke bar. This isn’t Muntri Grove’s fault, but it could be intrusive. With earplugs it was controlled.

Another Perfect Stay
Pros:

I choose this hotel every year for a prolonged stay, and am never disappointed ! There's the beautiful, spacious room in my favourite street, hidden from the city bustle in a secret tropical garden. The charm and efficiency of the staff. The knowledge that everything in this hotel has been personally curated by genius hotelier Chris Ong, from Fuan Wong's pool side sculptures to the tea time treats.
I noticed that this year there was additional, very effective soundproofing against the occasional nightclub noise .... which has actually never bothered me. (Should guests want absolute silence, then George Town in general is perhaps not for them ! ).
In an increasingly standardised travel universe, Muntri Grove Hotel is quiet luxury, at a very reasonable price.

Pros:

This hotel is part of the George Town Heritage Hotels group and is situated just off Lebuh Muntri which is a fairly quiet street parallel to the busier Lebuh Chulia. It is a very peaceful hotel but is affected at night by the noise from Lebuh Chulia.
The room we had was nice and big and the staff were very attentive. It doesn’t do food but we found the Mews Café about 100m along Lebuh Muntri which does very tasty breakfasts for MYR35 and also has an a la carte menu for evening meals if you wish.
We would definitely go back there should we be on Penang again.

Pros:

The location is perfect, the staff are friendly and the hotel is very charming. I really appreciated that the staff accommodated our request for rooms to be together.

Cons:

I have stayed at Muntri Grove both solo as well as with my family at least a half-dozen times over the last 4 years. While it has been our hotel of choice, we're now starting to think about alternatives for a couple of reasons. One is that the nightclubs behind the property now play very loud music from 9pm until 2am, and it can be heard in the rooms every night. Secondly, the facilities are getting old and are in need of a little love.

Pros:

Gorgeous building and rooms, you really feel like you’re staying in a part of Penang history

Cons:

Light switches could have done with some labels (only because the room was so big and there were so many lights!)
Lack of breakfast was a slight downside

H is for Heritage Hotel
Pros:

Muntri Grove is a beautifully restored heritage building just off Muntri Street in George Town. It is a great location to explore the UNESCO heritage precinct, street art, trendy coffee shops, street food, bars and restaurants. Muntri Grove provides a quiet oasis during the day, note I said 'day'. The rooms amenities are adequate for the price point, rooms are well kept and clean with rooms cleaned before lunch. Staff are friendly and accommodating. The hotel represents value for money.

Unfortunately, thanks to the the sonic boom of the night club music bouncing off the windows in our downstairs room until 3am every night of the week. I was unable to get a decent night sleep on each of the nights we were there - yes I did try earplugs. For this reason alone, I would not return to Muntri Grove on my next visit to Pinang. I value my sleep too much.

Friendly and helpful staff
Pros:

This is at least the 4th time I've stayed here. The time before was 2020 and there have been a few small changes since. What hasn't changed is the friendliness of the staff. Though they were all relatively new everyone was kind and helpful.
What hasn't changed is the hardness of the mattresses or the noise from the nearby nightclubs. They have tried to address the issue but as most of the noise comes through the roof, it's a hard problem to solve.
On arrival you used to get a welcome drink - this has stopped which is a shame, it was a nice touch.
The rooms are large and have everything you need. The hotel is handy for food places which is good as no food is available on the premises. The pool is smallish but great for cooling off.

An amazing place to stay to explore Penang.
Pros:

This is great place to stay to explore Penang. It is a beautiful building with large, spacious air -conditioned rooms. There is also a swimming pool and the delicious free ice creams are a welcome bonus! The staff are so friendly and helpful. Whilst there is no resturant on site, it is not a problem as there places everywhere to find the amazing Penang food.
You can explore Georgetown on foot, but if the weather is too hot, there is also a great free bus which is a frequent service.
I would definitely recommed Muntri Grove.
