The location, the hosts and the property were phenomenal. We were very glad to have booked this stay. It was cosy, quiet, quaint and comfortable. The breakfast and high tea were also scrumptious. The best part was that it was close to the street food carts and a number of great cafes, shops and bars. We were able to see a lot on foot. The cats on the property were a bonus.
Many guests praised the staff as friendly and helpful across several reviews.

“Friendly staff, resident cat (Orange) and the ‘homey’ feel. Gives you a glimpse of how the upper middle class families then lived and raised their families”
Hôtel plein de charme, magnifiquement décoré, idéalement situé et avec un personnel aux petits soins

“Un véritable coup de cœur pour le 23 Love Lane ! Cet hôtel a un charme fou et possède une atmosphère unique, avec une décoration absolument magnifique et particulièrement soignée dans les moindres détails.
L’emplacement est idéal pour découvrir George Town, tout peut facilement se faire à pied depuis l’hôtel. Le personnel est adorable, attentionné et véritablement aux petits soins, ce qui rend le séjour encore plus agréable.
Nous avons adoré l’ambiance, le caractère et l’élégance de cet établissement. Une très belle adresse, pleine de charme, que nous recommandons sans hésiter !”
Amazing location. Sal and her team were fantastic. Highly recommend

Ruby · extended group · 2026-08-25
“Loved it! Very quiet, calm, and it truly feels like home. All the staff are friendly and helpful, making you feel very welcome and comfortable throughout your stay. They are always ready to assist whenever you need them.
There is also evening tea served throughout your stay, accompanied by local delicacies, which is such a lovely touch.
A special shout-out to Zaini! She is super friendly and always checks on us to make sure we are comfortable and have everything we need.
The restaurant is also worth trying. They serve one of the best steaks — juicy, tender and delicious! The mushroom soup was excellent too. I only hope they can offer a little more variety in their main courses.
Overall, a lovely and peaceful stay with warm hospitality, good food, and a real home-away-from-home feeling.”
Might get something better elsewhere in Georgetown

“Amazing stay! The rooms are beautiful and big, the furniture is beautiful, the beds were comfortable, the common areas were equally beautiful and the breakfast was also very good (and at a comfortable time!). If we are ever in Penang again, for sure we'll stay here again! All the staff and the hostess were lovely and helpful too!”
Sal was the supreme hostess, we could not have asked for a better welcome to Penang. Ideal location, Muntri Suite exceed

Alan · couple · 2026-05-20
“Perfect location to walk around Penang, just off a main road. The bohemian vibe of the decor in rooms and lounge complements the Penang atmosphere. Thank you especially to Sal who was a great help with a small problem and her colleagues in the reception team whose friendly helpful attitude was lovely. If you fancy a perfectly cooked steak then try the restaurant.”
Lovely start in a heritage listed boutique hotel

“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.”
