The hotel serves continental breakfast, however they are happy to make eggs for the guests. The offerings were more than what we expected or needed. Location was great. The greatest assets to thus hotel is not just its history, it is the staff. Lingish, Chris, Bryan, Albert, El Lynn and all others were exceptionally good.

    “Love being able to stay at a property with beautiful architecture and full of history. We love the lounge area where all the guests meet for breakfast, tea or coffee and mingle with one another. It’s cosy and comfortable. I would like to commend Albert Tan, the operations manager for his many recommendations, making our visit to Penang very fruitful.”

  • The staff were excellent and could not do enough for you
