Glad I chose to stay here. My room was spacious, cool, and very comfortable. The noise from the street is significant but thankfully it’s quiet at night. The ambiance is unique. The staff is genuinely kind. But they need to break out the paint brushes because some surfaces, especially in the bathrooms, are pretty funky. I’ve stayed at campgrounds and hostels with nicer, hotter, showers :)

Incredibly unique property that used to be an old herb shop now tastefully refurbished into a boutique hotel. They kept all the old stuff from years past on display, and while it had modern amenities it still maintained that old charm. Highly recommend!

Historic hotel oozing with charm and character

We absolutely loved our stay here. At first we weren't sure if we were entering the lobby or an antique shop but once we were inside we were greeted warmly, our suitcase was whisked upstairs using an ingenious rope pulley, and we were immediately immersed in a place where every single piece of decor was clearly carefully considered to fit within the antique style. Despite the old school surrounds, there were modern comforts like air conditioning, and every part of the hotel was also spotlessly clean (while retaining character). We stayed in a family room with our 2 kids aged 7 & 9, and there was plenty of room for the whole family. We had our own room with a door, while the kids had two single beds in the wider area. I especially appreciated their efforts to reduce their environmental impact by serving filtered water in glasses, even their bins were lined with old newspaper instead of plastic bags. If you stay here, make sure you have at least one lunch or dinner at the cafe downstairs, it was so delicious and packed with local flavours. Their breakfast selection was also surprisingly wide and super tasty, including nonya desserts and roti which my son loved. Location couldn't be better, you're a short walk from all of Georgetown's attractions. Overall I think we enjoyed our stay here more than our beach resort. If you see this hotel has availability, I urge you to book immediately, it's a real gem.

A lovely experience in a restored guest house, with generous and kind owners. An actual 'heritage' place, unlike other hotels claiming the same. Highly recommended if you want to stay in the UNESCO heritage zone. Also the food in the cafe was so delicious!

Historic inn in Little India

Loved this hotel. It's an old historic building impeccably and sensitively remade as lodging, with the character lovingly preserved. Delightful, interesting breakfasts. Good bathroom. Great staff, very helpful. We also had the best meal of our Georgetown stay in their cafe, and that's saying something. Located in the most vibrant section of town, with all the color and flavors of India right outside your door. We had a wifi router right in our room, and good AC as well as a ceiling fan. Perfect for anyone who loves history and doesn't mind climbing steep wooden stairs.

Tranquility of the accommodation despite the hustle and bustle of the streets! :) Very quiet rooms that allowed us good nights’ rest. The hosts were the best! If you need advice on which room best suits your needs, you can contact the hosts. The staircase may not be young children/ elderly/ pregnant lady friendly but the quaint preservation of it certainly adds flavour to the well conserved building.

Historic preservation, Fun space, Great Service!

Spent a few days in Penang on the way to a conference in KL. I loved my short escape at Ren i Tang. Loved the historic preservation, and how they created such cool rooms like loft spaces. It made our stay a fantastic escape. Breakfast there was among the best meals of our entire trip, including the omelettes and noodle dishes. Eating in the courtyard was just so refreshing with the fresh air. The location in Little India (UNESCO Historic Preservation zone) was fantastic and made night walks just perfect. I can't say enough good things about the pleasant staff who shared many tips on places to eat, shop, and explore. It was like a resort on many ways, but with a more homey feel. I hope to return someday.

Great location & charming

Ren i Tang is a good choice for a stay in Penang for a few reasons: The old heritage building is comfortably renovated while keeping its original character. It’s located right in the heart of Little India, a colourful and vibey area - within walking distance of anywhere in the old city. There are tons of great places to eat nearby. (We loved the little hawker center across the road for koppi and char koay teow). Our room (Loft #17) was quiet with a pleasant rooftop view. The wifi is good and they offer free water (and a simple breakfast) and do their bit to reduce plastic waste. Altogether, we really enjoyed Penang.

For a reconditioned heritage building, it was remarkable that facilities were modern & efficient... WiFi, inhouse phone, shower had good pressure, toilet flushed well, AC cooling worked well due to glass windows doubled with antique wood slatted shutters. Street noise level was minimal. Bistro Tang serves excellent western snacks - a nice change esp. the calamansi lime smoothie. Also Malaysian dishes. Excellent location within heritage district, walking distance to ferry, 5-star hotels, restaurants + typical Malaysian "kopi tiams" (local coffee shops), temples, mosques, St George's Cathedral + other historical buildings.
