Superb service and location”
The Campbell house is a beautiful heritage property located in the heart of Georgetown Penang. You can explore everything on foot. The service is superb- from Nadya, the owner, welcoming you and outlining area discovery possibilities to the rest of the staff brightening your day with smiles and readiness to support. One gem that stood out is Kumar, meaning the reception desk. He has passion for his work and enthusiasm for Penang. Back to the property: the rooms are beautifully decorated, spacious, comfortable beds. The property has its own mini library and a roof terrace where you can relax with a drink or order food or just be. Breakfast is served at Il Bacaro, an Italian restaurant. Great coffee and food. Dinner is delicious as well if you want some Western food to change up the menue. All in all, we were very happy and can wholeheartedly recommend the Campbell House

Just perfect!”
I cannot rate Campbell House or the management & staff highly enough! It's an absolute gem tucked into the hustle & bustle of Georgetown. The hotel is a beautifully styled boutique building that looks & feels old world & authentic. The location is perfect 👌 Check in was easy & included a welcome drink and an extensive overview of all the things to do while in Georgetown. We got the full run down on the best places to visit while staying in Penang. When we were shown to our rooms we also got a quick tour of the hotel which included the library, reading area and the beautiful terrace area on the top floor. Perfect places to chill after busy days strolling around Georgetown. When booking, I had mentioned that we would be celebrating our anniversary while we stayed with them & on entertaining our room we were treated to towel swans on our bed which was very nice. :) The room itself was perfect. Old worldly yet with all the modern conveniences needed to ensure a pleasant stay. The pictures don't do it justice I'm afraid!!! Mini fridge, espresso machine, hair dryer : all the mod cons... The hotel has an Italian restaurant on the ground floor & serves breakfast, however we didn't get to try either on this visit, as we were trying all the local foods. Next time !! The hotel has a no shoes policy upstairs, which reduces noise & dirt. Great idea ! Everyone just leaves them in a small shoe rack on the stairs. There was a DVD player in the room & stacks of DVDs in the library to borrow - perfect if you fancy a wind down to a busy day ! I'm sure I'm forgetting loads, but can't recommend Campbell House enough!

Dear Patrick, Its really overwhelming response from you. Highly appreciated. Hope to see you again. Thank you
Stay here!”
A gem of a property in a very convenient location. Nardya and Roberto added a very welcome personal touch to one’s stay. Beautifully decorated, well appointed and very comfortable room. Kumar, Mr Lim, Ms Hoon and the rest of the staff all helped made our stay a most enjoyable one. They all provided clear and very useful information of the sites and restaurants to try. Breakfast was very good. Even our packed breakfast (because we had to check out early) was very yummy. Wish we had more time there to be able to try their house restaurant. I guess that is for next trip. I think the property is just not suitable for the mobility impaired because it doesn’t have an elevator. Other than that, it’s really a choice for a stay in Penang

A pearl in the heritage zone of George Town”
It is a very nice high-end hotel in the heritage zone of George Town. It is well redesigned and renovated with respect for the local history. I was impressed by staying in a large room with nice traditional Chinese furniture, Calligraphy and modern facility. The staff in general is also very nice. As the hotel also has nice Italian restaurant on ground floor, it also provides nice breakfast. The staff will even prepare sandwich with fruit package if guest will take early morning flight and miss breakfast of the day! A small reminder is that there is prayer in the early morning from the mosque in heritage zone. Moreover, as the hotel was renovated based on a historical building, you may hear the voice from another room sometimes. The room is big but If you travel for business and bring a laptop, currently there is no table inside the room for working. Moreover, please update the wifi info inside the room timely. In short, It will rate this hotel at least 9.5 (out of 10). It is a very good choice in terms of location, facility, service and value for money.

Fantastic Stay and expereince”
Campbell House is bang in the middle of Georgetown, centrally located this beautiful boutique property is cozy, comfortable and beautiful. Everyone at Campbell House were super helpful and looked out for you personally. Nardya and Roberto the owners of the hotel took time out to talk about Georgetown, explain the entire layout and were insightful with suggestions and helped us with a medical concern as well. Kumar and Hema are someone the most helpful people I have met while travelling. The stay would not have been the same without them. Highly recommend staying at Campbell House!!

The best hotel!”
We had the Loft room. The hotel is super! It looks cool, it's clean, the staf is realy friendly and the breakfast is superior. Also the daly cake and ice tea is a warm welkom. And the shower was lovely after a long week of smal, weak shower heads during our trip in Malaysia. The hotel is in a real good spot in town. Every cool thing to do is at the doorstep. Also good foot is fount within range of walking. There is no bad thing to say about the hotel!

Awesome stay at brilliant hotel”
Our family of 4 was wowed by the service, warmth and friendliness of everyone in the hotel. Nardya and her team were fantastic, making us feel welcomed and making sure we enjoy our trip. The rooms are large and beautifully furnished, makes us feel at home after a day’s walking outside. There is even ice lemon tea and best of all, a serving of cake every afternoon, makes a welcome treat. Breakfast was good, coffee was even better. We dined at the restaurant 3 times and were not disappointed with the food, every dish was delicious and the desserts were yummy! The location of the hotel is a great plus, we literally walked to all the attractions in Georgetown. There is food available everywhere, kisoks, carts, kopitiams, restaurants, endless choices. We would like to thank Nardya and all her team for a awesome stay in Penang.

One of the best. Worth every penny. ”
My husband and I had a real good time during our 3-night stay at the hotel. We fell in love the moment we step foot here and were greeted by a lovely reception staff (Sarah). The welcome drink was awesome. Our room was superb and beautifully furnished just like in the photos. Comfortable bed & pillows, cakes or cookies sent to our room every afternoon for tea, fresh milk and a big jug of iced lemon tea in the fridge and refilled every day, room cleaned every day and bedsheets changed after 2 days. Our stay comes with daily breakfast (hearty and very delicious) which we enjoyed so much. Really, I can't find fault with this place. Thanks to the great hosts and the team for making our stay a memorable one. Oh, please try the pizza from their restaurant - one of the best!

One of the best small hotels I’ve stayed in anywhere in the world”
I found this by chance, walking down Georgetown’s Campbell St, and booked it after looking at the website. This is a truly outstanding architectural conversion of a former flophouse. The detailing is amazing. Lacks any hint of the kitsch touches that makes so many other small Malaysian hotels disappointing. A charming quirk is the block and tackle next to reception, used for hoisting guests’ luggage to the upper levels.

Dear Norman, Thank you very much for the detailing description about our home,
Best location”
Close to everything and surrounded by 2 streetfood markets just around the corners. Walking distance to tourists attractions as well. The house has only 12 rooms so expected a quiet stay, which is good for us. Highly recommended

Hotel amenities at a guest house price”
This is now my favorite place to overnight in Georgetown. The innkeepers, even though they are long time ex-pats, should be given an award for Malaysian hospitality. Parking is very limited but best to ditch the car in a long term lot and walk. Everything you need can be reached within a 20 min walk. But attractions around the island will require a car ride.

Hospitality at its best”
If you want a place to stay with character and great hospitality, this is it. Everyone at Campbell House made us feel welcomed and important, especially Kumar. The accommodation is basic but comfortable enough. Love the sitting/library area where we played card games and did some reading to kill time after checking out. Heck, we even love the creaking floorboards. What we had to be careful of was the staircase - it was a little hard to see the steps as the lighting wasn't bright enough and the black strips on each step was of no help. A more contrasting colour would be better! During our one night stay, the turndown service left us with a lovely surprise in our fridge - homemade panna cotta! They are conscious of reducing plastic use and therefore, you will find a jug of lemon tea and a glass bottle of water in the fridge instead of plastic bottled water. We got Loccitane toiletries and although toothbrushes and toothpastes were not provided, you could request for them. Also, there is no iron or ironing board in Silverleaf Room but you may request for them or if I'm not mistaken, have the staff iron a max of 3 clothing pieces. Sleep-wise was pleasant enough although around 6am onwards, we could hear the occasional motorbikes zooming by as all windows face the side road. The Venetian restaurant, Il Bacaro is part of the establishment and serves good Italian food. Lots to love about this place - the charm, the location and the people.
