Saw some previous negative reviews a out this property after my booking. After checked in, all those negative reviews I read were already out of the window .
From the room to the front desk and staff, everything and everyone was so surprisingly friendly and comfortable. The location is great too. Walking distance to everything in Georgs town.
I am so glad I stayed with this property.

We loved our room next to the pool. The property is well maintained and really connects to the heritage experience. Nice lap pool which we used to cool off several times. Staff are extremely pleasant and provided everything we needed. Walkable to some sights and easy pick up by Grab when we needed it. Spoke to a member of staff about breakfast and they said they hoped to bring back this option in the future. A very relaxed stay and would definitely recommend Jawi Peranakan Mansion.

The room was in a heritage house and was beautifully decorated. It was lovely and cool and I didnt have to use the aircon
Jalan Penang is nearby with plenty of shopping and restaurants
The free CAT bus is close as well
I would recommend this hotel as a well situated and beautiful place to stay

Safe in room didn't work at first but got it settled later after staff passed us two sets of keys to reset (poor service). Not much of a welcome. An old-style accommodation, cosy but frills-less. Pool is really small.

This was very good! The staff was very helpful.

Fantastic stay. Great service staff. Clean and big room. One or two of the electronic plugs in the room beside the bed didnt work though.

Stayed in the Mansion Villa. The property and room decor is quite unique. But the room itself is basically right up against the street. This means you can hear every motorbike, car and other vehicle passing by. If you are a light sleeper this room is not for you. I left after one night and checked into another hotel because I could not sleep. I'm not sure that other rooms on the property would have been much quieter. Also, there was no "do not disturb" sign, and housekeeping staff attempted to enter the room while I was inside. The room could use a bit more cleaning, especially the rugs. Location is good.

A beautiful, historic facility and fantastic staff that take care of all your needs. The rooms can use updating and the A/C in our 1st room was too weak (the staff moved us into another room that had better a/c) but restaurants are a short walk away and again, the staff are great.

A modernized historuc mansion in George Town. Rooms are spacious and well appointed with period furniture. Bathroom spacious with rain shower faucet and room for 2 😊
Small outdoor lap pool that was welcoming after hot day of sightseeing. Staff were pleasant but clearly not equioted to run a hotel and service guests. Overall good value for the money

Absolutely terrible. The hotel had a party in the courtyard right outside my room. Very noisy until very late.

It's the first hotel that I've checked out earlier than expected because I couldn't sleep at all during my first night. The room is really spacious and rather clean. But they don't have proper pillow; the pillow was extremely thin. The aircon wasn't cooling the room enough as well, so I was perspiring. In addition, the property is beside a main road and so it's always very noisy. I think the place should have sound proof window and good pillows.
I do understand that it's an old mansion but if it is being converted to a hotel, much more should be done.

The mansion has been beautifully restored to its former glory and it was a total delight to stay in it. The staff are just wonderful, in particular Priya and Steph, who gave us useful directions on eating places and shopping, and were just so obliging. Great to watch the video on the restoration works.

A beautiful property close to the shuttle bus and launderette. The room was clean and has air conditioning. We were on the first floor and it was great coming back to the hotel as it is so beautiful. The staff were welcoming and professional. Would stay here again.

A very relaxing stay here. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good location but due to humidity I used ‘grab’ to get around. Beautiful old historic mansion. Highly recommend.

Priya and her team were very helpful, they gave us good suggestions on food and activities to do during our stay. Thank you for making it a memorable stay for our family.

The property was really well located in a smart area just on the edge of the old town which allowed us to explore areas we would have not thought to look up. The hotel is very spacious and cute, but the pool is the real gem, especially after a day exploring. Great dining close by in all directions

It's Penang, traffic is hell and parking is not plenty. And it is Georgetown so road is narrow. Those things are the worst of the entire stay BUT I find no fault with the hotel. It was quiet, the quickest, easiest check in I have ever had - EVER. My husband had to find tiny spot by their entrance so we can drop our luggage, all the while traffic is flowing inches away. They have staff to carry the bags upstairs where our room is located. Then he has to go find parking, luckily right next to the hotel, there was a spot but to get to that spot he had to drive around to find the street leading to it. All the while hoping no one else has taken that spot. The hotel itself was so quiet, I hardly ever see any but 2 occupants while passing the entrance. The pool was refreshing from the heat, it was during the time when they had heat problems. Yes, the stench from all those open storm sewer wafting up it gets really hard to enjoy anything, even while eating at those restaurants nearby. But that's just how Malaysia is. I wish I can pluck the hotel and put it somewhere else in Penang where the traffic is not as crazy and parking is not a stressful to get. Otherwise, the room was clean, the bathroom was huge and clean and hot water works and my boys love the upstairs bed. We didn't hear any noise from the nearby mosque. Actually we slept really well.
10.0
The rooms are large and comfortable with characterful decorations. Staff are available and able to give local information. There were water and coffee available and the pool was nice to have a cooling dip, though the poolside was not great for all day chilling out.
Super close to the town but not full of backpacker noise and hipster establishments.
The wifi in the room was weak and in an old building some noise such as heavy footsteps carries from other rooms

If you want to experience the living place of peranakans, this is the right choice of your stay in Penang. The hotel is located also within walking distances to attractions and walking stalls.

It’s a nice historical hotel to stay in Penang. Staffs are friendly. Rooms are clean and neat. A lot of shops and local foods in walking distance. Great place to stay
8.0
Nice 3 star hotel with big rooms for a big family. The location is within walking locations about 15 mins walk to places like Penang street, 10 mins to a nearby 7-11.
At night there is this place called Supper which serves good Taiwanese fusion nearby.
The pool was a great addition for the kids.
One bad thing is this place isn’t good for light sleepers. The mosque prayers will affect you for a short while in the morning. Rooms near the road will also be loud as cars drive pass at night. Tip: bring a air freshener or the lobby could include it as the air was abit stale especially at the lobby.
But overall it’s a good place to stay if you aren’t a light sleeper.

Staff, Muiz (sorry if i did not get his name right), was very attentive and hospitable for most parts of our stay.
We encountered a faulty water heater, which was a bummer, because the stay would have been amazing. Muiz did attend to the issue but unfortunately it requires a new unit to be replaced and it was over the weekend.
Overall stay was good. clean, cozy and homely.

Disappointed with the cheap amenities & toiletries. Towels were old, rough and yellowish. Room has windows but no views out. TV cannot be viewed from bed. Lacks attentions to details overall. Won’t stay again.
