Everyone who works in that hotel, from the reception to the kitchen and housekeeping is super nice! The rooms were very comfy and clean. The hotel is easy walking distance from the main sights in George Town and they are helpful getting you reliable taxis to go anywhere outside of town. The property has a lot of character, which I appreciated. Highly recommended!

This hotel is excellent. The staff are welcoming and attentive, rooms are extremely clean and I loved the pool- which is super clean and attractive. The breakfast is good, particularly the omelettes. We really enjoyed our stay.

Das Hotel ist wunderschön mit offenem Innenteil und einem kleinen, niedlichen Pool. Obqohl zentral gelegen ist es sehr ruhig und die Zimmer ausreichend groß. Die Einrichtung ist im Kolonialstil und das Hotelteam supernett, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefült und können das Hotel absolut weiterempfehlen. DANKE!

Our group of 7 has an excellent stay in the Yeng Keng Suite and 3 courtyard rooms. Such pleasant staff who were helpful throughout. Quick turnaround room servicing, lovely linen and spotlessly clean. Great breakfasts and made for the perfect stay. Ideal location for exploring Georgetown.

Lovely heritage hotel in Georgetown. It’s about 10 mins walk from the Armenian street area and lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Rooms are a decent size and amenities. It doesn’t have a lift, so beware if you have access issues. Breakfast is fine. Staff are super friendly and lovely. Other reviews mentioned the noise, we had rooms overlooking the pool on the 1st floor (not ground) and these were quiet enough. Other people mentioned the lack of pavements but I think this is Georgetown as a whole.

スタッフが親切でしたが、バターワースへのフェリーの情報は間違っていました。部屋の冷蔵庫に製氷機はあるのですがパワーが弱くて氷はできませんでした。

A good location, clean & well equipped room, excellent service & a good buffet breakfast spread adds to the charm of the historic building. We had a very good stay at Yeng Keng Hotel.

Historic hotel in the middle of Georgetown with plenty of dining and drinking options nearby, walkable to most of the historic spots on the island. Highly recommended if you want to experience living the tradition Penang culture. Excellent restaurant serving Peranakan food as well

We loved our stay at this hotel. Very walkable area, restaurants and bars are very close. Loved the rooftop bar across the road. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and the pool was lovely and refreshing. Such a historical, classic hotel.

Great place to spend a few days. Ventured out into the excitement and chaos of Penang then returned to the sanctuary of the hotel and pool.
