“Overall a good local staycation.”
+The wooden floors and the location which is close to the self service laundry.
−Lack of tv channels and 1 air conditioning remote control didn’t work. Drinking water refill station could be closer to the room instead of going all the way to the lobby.

“It is a really nice stay overall with a few minor inconvenience here and there.”
+The room is spacious and the bathtub provided inside the room is a really nice feature given the price for the room, usually you can only find a bathtub in a more expensive hotel/room. The bathroom is really clean and the plenty of spaces to do work which is important for me since I mostly travel for work.
−Given the heritage style of the hotel, the flooring is made of wood and some parts of the floor creaked really loud when walking around. The room is also a bit dusty when I checked in but not surprising given the location of the hotel which is in the heart of the city. The TV also provides only basic channels without streaming services which is a bit disappointing. Plus, the breakfast has very limited buffet-style option and I was hoping for more variety.

+The interior was good,rooms were vintage style.We liked that,Location was also nice.
−Our flight was in the morning so we were leaving early at 7:00am.We called the staff to take our luggages to lobby but they told us that the staff is not available as they are sleeping and we had to take our luggages ourselves which was so difficult for us and this disappointed us a lot.

“A Vintage Masterpiece: Fell in Love with the Nostalgic Ambience”
+If you appreciate old-world charm and unique architecture, Hotel Penaga in George Town, Penang, is an absolute gem. From the moment you step through the doors, you are completely transported by its incredible, nostalgic ambience. The hotel beautifully balances heritage preservation with boutique comfort, making it feel less like a standard hotel stay and more like an immersive cultural experience. The standout feature is undoubtedly the collection of vintage furniture, classic art, and antique fixtures throughout the property. Every corner tells a story, and the reconstruction of these historical shophouses has been done with immense care and respect for Penang's heritage. Staying here isn't just about having a room to sleep in; it’s an entire vintage experience of staying in a shophouse,from the beautiful wooden floors and retro tilework to the peaceful courtyard spaces that make you forget you are right in the heart of the city. Absolutely adore the balcony overlooking the courtyard at the back of the house. For travelers who love character, history, and a soul-stirring atmosphere over generic modern luxury, Hotel Penaga is a must-visit. I absolutely loved the vibe and cannot wai

−The facilities were bad: wifi wasn't working, air con wasn't working well, it wasn't cold and we need to ask the hotel to fix them for both rooms, the shower head fixture was broken, we can't adjust the head at all, need to hold the hose by hand.
