Great Location and great stay”

The room we've got was on the ground floor , cleanliness was superb, staff were very attentive too, we requested a morning taxi to the airport at 5am and ensured us we will make it on time to the airport for check in. The location also within walking to many attractions,definitely would highly recommend about this place for a good stay.

Literally one of the best hotels for me in Penang. The hotel looks small and cute from the outside but the room is very big, really comfortable 🤎 the only downside is that it's a bit difficult to find a parking space, it's okay it can't help because the location is quite full of restaurants and other hotels too 🤍

A very pleasant stay”

I highly recommend the Rare Heritage House for the seasoned traveller in terms of location, comfort, and value for money. The hotel is located slightly south from the center of Georgetown and is only a stone's throw away from the historical Jetty. It is also within reasonable walking distance to Little India, the banking district, and tourist sites such as Armenian St. One can find all manner of street food vendors just a 10 minute's walk to Kimberly St., Chulia St., and Kampung Malabar. The room I had was spacious with the following amenities: an en suite bathroom, writing desk, small refrigerator, and a window that provides natural light from an air-well. The king-sized bed was very comfortable. The only minus was the limited selection of channels for the cable tv. Fortunately, I didn’t feel the need to watch any TV since I was too busy exploring all the delightful food and sights around Georgetown. The bathroom shower had great water pressure and hot water on demand and is fitted with some nice details such as a bowl sink. The room also had an ironing board and iron next to a half length dressing mirror. Some aspects of the room was a little worn and could use some minimal maintenance to make it a charming 5 star experience. Nevertheless, the overall experience was excellent in terms of value for money. The hotel is nondescript when seen from the street. It also houses a fine dining restaurant for the western palate. Guests have access to the hotel from either the front (Victoria St.) or the rear (Beach St.). I found this highly convenient. The service was great. Tia, Virginia, and Nini who rotated responsibilities at the reception desk were very friendly and accommodating. I will be back!

Vintage feel with great location”

The location is walking distance to the historical Chew Jetty. Restaurants and bars are at the corner. But concern it as a heritage house, something you need to compromised with, old building doesn't have very good sound blocking wall so if you stay at the room near the road then you may hear the traffic at the early morning. Overall the stay is great. Saffs are very attentive. For the room, just something reminded that not enough hanging space for the towel and space for putting personal care stuff.

Super convenient location”

Pros: Beautiful hotel, the room is quite small but more than enough for a short stay. Room is very clean, toilet is new and water pressure is good. Location of this place is the best afterall, right at the city centre, can just grabcar to any spot with a few ringgit. For those who drive, carpark would be the public carpark outside, along the mainroad. it is quite safe to park overnight there and after 6pm there’d be no charge at all until 8am the next day. cons: none!

BUT you can order foodpanda (if you don't want to go out) or i prefer if you rent motorcycle & jalan2 with motorcycle.
