Will definitely return to East Indies again!!

East Indies Mansion was a very beautifully decorated & rustic hotel. Cosy, well maintained, very clean & spacious. It’s not your typical modern hotel with pool & gym/tv etc, but if you are looking for a unique experience - staying in a home away from your home - you should come to East Indies. There are many comfy cosy spots n sofas on the ground level u can lounge in on rainy days or days when u just wish to relax out of your room! The central kitchen has tea coffee n snacks u could help yourselves too & you can also bring back your own food & eat in the comfort of the hotel kitchen- almost like your own private dining area- v shiok! The people there - esp Aitee - were super friendly warm helpful & attentive to our needs :) Aitee would give recommendations on where we can go & was very fun to chat with :))) Location also was very near hot spots like Armenian street n nearby theres great food spots bingsu, ciao ice cream, spicy nasi lemak, durian carts, etc etc etc…

I think if there were less / better constructed steps from the room to the toilet would be good. Hence not suitable for elderly or mobility impaired - but other than that, it’s a 10/10 for me!

A heritage holiday

Very friendly and helpful staff. Even when there was the occasional hiccup they were quick to troubleshoot. Ai Tee gave us some very good suggestions about where to go. Our room was very spacious and the beds were comfortable. Very quirky decor that gave it a homely touch. We enjoyed being able to bring our takeout dinner and have it in the comfort of the hotel dining room. I'm a vegetarian and it was great having Woodlands restaurant around the corner

The water heater in our room malfunctioned so we couldn't have warm or hot showers. We were given access to an alternative bathroom across the terrace.

1. The staffs here are really kind and supportive! They gave us a lot of local spots/cuisines list which were definitely helpful! 2. The architecture looks amazing love the old town historical atmosphere 3. Close to love lane, Chou Jetty and Mansion museum, etc. you can really enjoy the city walk.

Nope! All good!

Exquisite heritage boutique hotel

The property is well located within the heritage old town. It’s very easy and convenient to find somewhere to eat or just enjoy. The staff are just wonderful. Ai Tee and Kanmani are always available and always willing to help or advise with a smile. Nothing is ever too much for them. They also have a partnership with a very knowledgeable tour guide called Joann. She will help you to know Georgetown with great details as you arrive. The rooms and the property itself is always impeccably clean. The property itself is a heritage Chinese mansion and this is itself a good enough reason to visit East Indies mansions. We enjoyed the breakfast on a couple of mornings and they were great. They offered local dishes and explained what they were, their origin or importance in the local community. We also felt immediately welcomed by an afternoon tea and a delicious nutmeg juice. Not only will we go there again when we visit Penang again, I will also make sure I recommend east India mansions to my friends, colleagues and clients.

Everything was perfect

Unique and comfortable. Great place to stay in Georgetown.

Beautifully restored mnsion. Great staff who were very helpful in our quest to find great street food! The rooms were spacious and comfortable and very clean. Good location within walking distance to most things, although we used Grab a lot, which I highly recommend. So cheap and easy to use.

Beautiful and unique heritage property with incredibly friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful and unique heritage property. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Great location in Little India. Highly recommended.

Though there are many restaurants nearby, it would be convenient to have simple breakfast options in the hotel, such as toast, eggs, and fruit.

Best place in Malaysia

We have been traveling around Malaysia for 2 weeks, and this was the best hotel of all. The staff is friendly and helpful. They gave us a lot of information about the city, places to visit, and even a list of vegetarian restaurants :) The place is amazing. Restored old Chinese house from 1800, the atmosphere is relaxed with beautiful decoration. You have everything you need in your room plus, the bed is super comfy. We will come back for sure!

A small suggestion: You can be more eco-friendly if don’t turn on the AC and lights when you clean the room.

Everything was perfect. The charming house and room, the super friendly and helpful staff, the convenient location in Little India, in walking distance to many different places of interest, great eateries etc.

We had 1 to 3 mosquitos in the room almost every night because the doors and windows are not 100% tight/close.

Step back in time

East Indies Mansion is a beautifully restored boutique hotel. Perfect if you don't want to stay in a modern, sterile, cookie-cutter type hotel. It is peaceful and quiet and you can enjoy and appreciate the beautiful historical architecture. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I loved the delicious afternoon samosas! And they were very welcoming when my daughter came to visit for an afternoon, even bringing us snacks and cold drinks to share with her. It's also well located in walking distance to food street stalls, cafes etc

Not much to fault except it would be nice to have a small fridge in the room to store some cold drinks. You can use the fridge in the kitchen but that's not so useful in the middle of the night or when you're relaxing in your room. Mosquitos in the room were an issue partly due to gaps in the walls where they can come in from the internal courtyard and even with the sprays and plug-ins they kept me awake for a few nights.
