St Giles, Chinatown hotels

"My husband and I had an amazing stay at 23 Love Lane. We arrived hours before check-in, and the staff were incredibly accommodating, storing our luggage while we explored and preparing our room early. Set in a beautifully restored colonial-era building, the hotel blends British, Indian, and Chinese influences with antique furnishings and contemporary art. Our room was a perfect mix of mid-century modern décor, wooden floors, and a large, comfy bed. The location is ideal, within walking distance of famous street art, restaurants and night markets, Chinatown, Little India, historic jetties, and the esplanade. Though in a lively area, the hotel’s lush gardens offer a peaceful retreat, where we enjoyed reading and enjoying the company of Orange and Mac, the resident cats. Breakfast was simple yet delicious, starting with a continental spread and followed by à la carte options. A lovely touch was the complimentary 4 PM high tea, with delightful sweet and savory treats. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help, making our stay even more special. We’re so happy we chose 23 Love Lane and will definitely stay again when we return to Penang. Highly recommended! "

"Pleasant stay at hotel and friendly and helpful staff."

"Very nice, clean and safe property. Staff is amazing, the restaurant makes the place smell amazing and I recommend it to anyone visiting Georgetown, Penang."

"Chambre est superbe est très fonctionnel, excellent lit, Télé, machine à café et bien isolé pour le bruit. "

"We'd not been to Penang before and went with friends who visit quite regularly. We were suitably impressed and will be planning another visit for a longer period when the occasion permits."

"The room is quite spacious and clean. Hotel staffs are friendly and helpful. Like the location of the hotel, walkable distance to some malls and eatery. Will definitely stay again when coming to Penang."

"I especially liked your staff and how friendly everyone was. Shout out to Evelyn, the morning hostess in the cafe. She was very efficient and provided tourist information about various festivals freely. It was very appreciated."

"Always try to stay in a heritage or local hotel. Feels like a living museum, so you will hear some creaks and light neighbourhood noise, but that's the beauty of staying somewhere that has personality and satisfies those who are curious about life. As well as the Mews cafe and shady courtyard, there are many places to eat and enjoy coffee in the immediate area. The staff are welcoming and helpful. Thank you for a lovely and safe stay. Note to management: a larger tip box with a bigger slot is needed - your people are worth it."

"Large and comfortable room, nice shower, room safe and everything else you would need. I’m not sure how old the hotel is but it is just starting to feel a little dated in the rooms. Staff were super friendly and helpful, also nice to have the pool table and a few other activities in the lobby. We had an issue with the fridge not working in our room which they resolved straight away. Gym was decent size and very quiet when we were here also. It is in a bit of an odd location where you must get a Grab everywhere but they are cheap and available. "
