“Wonderful Stay & Excellent Hospitality!
We had a really good stay here. The bed was very comfortable, and the hotel’s location was excellent — many tourist attractions and places of interest were all within walking distance, making it very convenient for us to explore the area.
A special thank you to Mr. KC, who was such a kind and lovely person. He went the extra mile by sending us a night snack along with a sincere, handwritten good-night note for both nights of our stay. Such a thoughtful and personal touch really made us feel welcomed and appreciated. ❤️
We would also like to thank Ms. Aitee for her kind assistance in helping us search for an available room at one of their other hotels. Her willingness to help was truly appreciated.
The breakfast was also very good, with fine servings and delicious food. Overall, we had a comfortable and pleasant stay, made even better by the warm and genuine hospitality of the staff.”
Soggiorno indimenticabile grazie allo staff gentilissimo e disponibile.

“Good location, very spacious bathroom with a variety of amenities. Breakfast was good and staff (particularly Bong, Suet Chin, KC ) were attentive to my needs. A particular highlight for me was the several types of bath salt offered.”
“Sehr hilfsbereites Personal, immer freundlich.
Sehr sauber und individuell eingerichtet.
Frühstück wird am Tisch serviert und ist abwechslungsreich, von landestypisch bis kontinental. Auf spezielle Wünsche wird sofort eingegangen. Die Lage ist optimal um die Altstadt zu Fuß zu erkunden. Das Restaurant bietet gehobene Küche und die Bar ist gut sortiert.”
Absolutely exceptional stay at 88 Armenian

“Having lived in the Middle East for almost 30 years (where customer service and hotels are typically to a high standard) this is one of the best hotels we have stayed in.
The attention to detail is nothing short of perfect. During turndown, they leave a card with the next day’s weather forecast, play relaxing music, and set out a small evening snack with a personal note. They also offer a bath butler service, drawing your bath before you return for the evening.
Suet and the team are incredibly knowledgeable about local restaurants and are always happy to take the time to chat things through. Highly recommend Tek Sen Chinese restaurant!
Breakfast is equally fantastic, alternating between continental and Dim Sum. We enjoyed an amazing platter followed by Shakshuka.
The location is perfect: peaceful evenings, right in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Old Town Penang.
It’s hard to put into words just how special this place is. If you’re on the fence, book it - you won’t regret it.”
Wonderful location and service!

“3 night stay. 25 minutes cheap grab ride from the airport. Just the 6 rooms made this a peaceful and relaxing stay. Excellent service. Very helpful staff. Use of WhatsApp for communication before and during stay made responses immediate. They provided complimentary snacks each day and there was a selection of drinks available for free in the minibar. Variety of breakfasts offered, first day local, second continental, third dim sum. Spacious bathroom with required amenities. Great location to explore Georgetown from. Lots of interesting street art, cafes and restaurants in the area. Be sure to install and use grab for very cheap transport around Penang. Can enter and exit the car right outside the front door of the hotel. Lights and ambience is controlled by an iPad. Extra pillows provided upon requested.”

“Everything about this stay was perfect. Luxurious rooms - the bath butler service was a lovely surprise! The entire team were lovely, gave great recommendations on things to do and where to eat. Breakfast was next level - the only down side was there wasn't room for lunch!”
