Open concept bathroom

Nice peranakan style room. Simple for 1 night stay. Walking distance to eateries and shopping malls. Owner was kind enough to allow us to place our baggages at common area after checkout as our flight was in the late evening. It will be fun to get the entire house for family stay

Basic but convenient little hotel

Was rather disappointed by the basic room though it was very clean and equipped with a nice TV and DvD player. Kelvin the owner was extremely helpful and charming and I really loved the area. The street is charming and just round the corner from the bus stop to town (only 25p) as well as the hawkers market, the sea and the smart Gurney Drive with 2 large malls including cinemas. A very interesting part of town where few Westerners seem to venture. Good value if you want somewhere simple and interesting

친절한 주인분, 기분좋은 숙박

주인분께서 매우 친절하셔서 머무는 내내 기분이 좋았습니다. 공항과는 다소 거리가 있지만 거니드라이브와 가까워서 야시장도 다녀오기에 편했구요, 다만, 욕실이 밖과 분리되어 있지 않고 문발로만 막아놓아 밖에 비가오고 바람이 불면 그대로 들어옵니다. 이국적인 환경이라 새롭긴했지만, 보통의 호텔시설을 생각하는 분께는 적합하지 않은 것 같습니다. 호텔이 있는 거리가 참 이쁘고요, 이국적인 느낌의 숙소였습니다.

Best B&B ever

I have rated this hotel in tripadvisor, but, I don't mind to spread the word that, this hotel has a fine, lovely, clean, comfort room. I think everybody agree that if we travel outside, we have to feel like we are living in our own home..This is how I felt during my 2 nights stay. Walking distance to local delicacies and also pulau tikus market.. Ms.Jennifer, our lovely host, being really helpful.. ask her anything, she will assist you delightfully..I'll come back for my next trip to Penang..

largely over-stated and over-priced

just a renovated old house and a budget hotel priced at a 4 star hotel rate. in an old street (bangkok lane) where there are 2 famous temples, 2 shopping malls and 1 famous (but disappointing) night food market. no need and not worth to stay. charge me RM 50 for "an extra bed" (lower bed under the existing bed without warning and price notice). room is not conveniently set up as a hotel, toilet has no air-con in balcony, evidence of bed bugs on the body of my son after sleep. light setting and room conditions are not good. office just in the opposite house but the staff are not actively helping other than giving introduction to the free shuttle and food in the area. yet no free breakfast or even hot tea or coffee are served (other than 3 in 1 coffee bags to help yourself), don't know why the staff are stationed so close for. there are hundreds of nicer and better hotels at this price. I regreted for booking and staying in the hotel very much.
