Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion Hotel Penang Reviews

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion Guest Rating: 4.5

We would highly recommend the Mansion as a unique hotel experience. This well renovated boutique hotel provides a wonderful atmosphere to relax and rest. The staff are relaxed and helpful. We stayed five nights and enjoyed every moment. The surrounding eateries and sights are within easy reach and worth visiting.

Great atmosphere. Unusual setting. Great staff. Ideal location.

Bedroom furniture rickety and old.

A total change from the norm. Guest Rating: 3.8

This mansion lived up to our hopes. A huge entry with welcoming staff and then to sweep into a large bedroom with a large and comfortable bed, quiet air conditioning and more than ample bathroom facilities, only made us more than happy to avoid yet another 4 star hotel elsewhere. The only downside was the noise from the eatery next door at night, but even that had it's compensations as it provided good and cheap food!

A retreat into the history of Penang.

Noise from neighbors at night.

charming place to stay for a couple of days Guest Rating: 3.3

Conveniently located in old Penang. In the heart of many walking trails, also close to the local market and shops. Near food places as well. The hotel is charmingly old and quaint, and for you if you like something that is not anything like a chain hotel. Great place to rest and relax in if that's what you want to do.

quaint, cosy; extremely convenient location; helpful staff

could be cleaner

• Restaurant Tip : Soho - just behind the hotel for pub food and beer; Next to Soho (at night) - soup kumbing and soto ayam - very good; Just further down from Soho - many eateries with local food

Historical Chinese hotel Guest Rating: 4.0

Nice historical Chinese hotel. We entered in a filmset, but though we could not move freely through the hotel during the shooting hours, we were very pleased with the attention the staff of the hotel gave us.

Not for people who like a busy, hotel with swimmingpool and eveningactivities. The scene is more like a hotel in the old time. Like in a movie.

• Hotel Feature Tip : The hotel itself is the best tip I can give. If you never have slept in a nice historical Chinese hotel, than this is the place to be.

Take some time to get to know the staff a bit more than you might normally as they so lovely & helpful & very informative about the hotel.

Taste of the Past Guest Rating: 4.3

One of the perks of staying in the hotel is the free in-house tour offered twice a day (except Sundays). Take advantage of the informative tour and you will gain a better appreciation of this fabulous mansion. Very worthwhile!!!

• Restaurant Tip : The food court area right next to the hotel is fantastic. No need to go anywhere else. Plus, don't forget to eat in little India! Yummy!

Peace in the heart of Penang Guest Rating: 4.5

The hotel has pamphlets on self-guided walks from the Penang Heritage Trust which are very useful. There is also a book for sale about the restoration which is an excellent souvenir. It is also worth going on one of the house tours (11:00 or 15:00), free to house guests.

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Turn right down Lebuh Leith, take the first left into Lebuh Muntri, and you can walk all around old Georgetown. For an evening drink by the sea, the E and O is a short walk in the other direction, across Penang Road. Little Penang market happens nearby the last Sunday of each month.

Flair of the Orient Guest Rating: 4.0

If you like antique furniture, old feeling and atmosphere to your choice of hotel you will be very pleased with the "Blue Mansion".

• Nightlife Tip : There is a walking street nearby with a great range of bars, music, and restaurants.
