The property had a colonial feel to it. Located a street away from the main road, which was an advantage as quiet. The room (Loft) we booked was comfortable and spacious. The staff at Breakfast were kind and polite. The location was central and walking distance to the main attractions. Also easy to get a taxi (grab).

The staff here are excellent people. Nice. There was a rock concert across the street and I asked if we could move rooms to back and they accommodate. We stayed 5 nights only one was noisy because of concert. The staff cannot help that. Good breakfasts, good laundry services. Friendly, friendly, friendly. Wonderful people

It was unfortunate access to the hotel was blocked due to the Chingay Procession & we had to drive around for nearly 2hrs. Will be great if the hotel staff alerted us earlier for anticipation. Other than that, the stay is pleasant.

Hotel Excellent location off Penang Road, lots of places to eat, near shopping mall and walk to heritage history. Hotel clean, very relaxing, breakfast excellent, staff very helpful. The tour rep and colleague helped us book a 2 day trip to Kuala Lumper and recommendations, it was very good. A day trip to Penang Hill and Baru Farringu beach is also recommended. Love Malaysia.

Liked the heritage aspects and the large rooms Very noisy, preventing sleep when events are held next door (at the Majestic) and during clean-up/restoration afterwards due to unmotivated and untrained staff used at the venue.

The building is stunning. However the room is much smaller than expected. The soundproofing is very poor. I could hear people walking around outside our room, affecting our sleep quality seriously.
