The hotel is beautifully furnished, with modern bathrooms and tall ceilings. We occupied one of the suites on the second floor that offered a separate living room area in addition to the bedroom. Very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable staff! Great location near historic sites!

Room was extremely small...we had a king plus 1 twin bed but basically in a standard room so no room to walk around. Had to shove our luggages under the bed to avoid tripping over them. Liked the unique historical design of the hotel and has charm which was why i picked it for something different. Service was impeccable though as the staff were super attentive and very friendly.

We had the most amazing stay in Penang. The hotel is very well situated so close to everything we wanted to do and see. The pool was especially welcoming after being out and about! Couldn’t fault the staff - they were ALL fantastic.

Wonderful hotel, great staff
Great heritage hotel in a brilliant position. Rooms are comfortable, tea and coffee, ventilation, good bathroom, and great bed. The general ambience is wonderful and you can sit just outside soaking up the sunshine and history while having a drink. There's a swimming pool, which we used everyday and we decided to eat our breakfast outside although there is an aircon restaurant attached to the hotel. The only slight downside is some nights there was very loud music on until the early hours of the next morning as penang must of relaxed it's laws. But the best thing about the hotel are the staff... Especially Yo who is amazing and so kind and Harry Potter who was very caring and professional. Thankyou to all the staff. On another note you can get very cheap local buses all over the island, the hotel can arrange a taxi and the fare from the airport is now fixed so it's easy for transportation. There's proper and very good street food if you turn left from the hotel to the next block and there's loads of trendy western places too.

Two grateful travellers
Fantastic stay in George Town at the beautiful Jeng Keng Hotel . The staff , especially Ian were so helpful , polite , informative and fun! We used the pool every afternoon an oasis of calm after the business and heat of the city. Everywhere was clean and tidy and the rooms were spotless . We enjoyed the breakfasts immensely , im sorry I don’t have the main guy in the cafes name but he was so great at explaining the ingredients of the foods being gluten intolerant . Thanks so much - we adored it!

Excellent service from the staff. Thank you for accomodating our late check-out due to heavy traffic. We really enjoy the breakfast as well. Like it that the pastries are bite-size, so one would not overeat or waste food. Could be better if they can have more vegan options. A nice and quaint hotel that worth very cents.
