George Town is a culturally and historically rich place, and staying in Kelantan House offers you the opportunity to experience what life was like in Penang in the 18th and 19th centuries. The location is also quiet even if it's right in the middle of the city. Will definitely stay here again.

Stayed at Pitt's Room on the ground floor. The room is spacious and very clean. AC works properly. Separated bathroom but private with complete amenities. Biscuit, tea, and coffee are provided all day long. The location is very good, not on the main road but within walking distance to some of delicious food in George Town. Prepare MYR 100 cash for the deposit fee. Overall a great stay for the price I paid.

Super clean and a beautiful heritage house. Our room was very comfortable and even though the bathroom was outside the room we didn’t mind as this was such a great chance to stay somewhere special and unique. Complementary water, coffees and snacks were a nice addition.

Great value and extremely friendly and helpful staff. You can walk to the tourist area or there's a bus stop right outside. Nice tea/coffee/snacks all day long. The only downside is having to bring your key every time you want to use the bathroom.

Great hotel in the centre of George Town. Room was really spacious and very clean. All the staff we met was really nice and attentive. If we ever come back to Penang, this will definitely be our hotel!

Nous avions choisi la petite ville touristique de Georgetown après Singapour la Moderne. Ne pas oublier que nous sommes en Malaise et pas dans un quartier de luxe. N'attendez pas un équipement au top mais la tranquillité de cette maison chinoise totalement inattendue et la gentillesse de sont personnel (24/24) nous a conquis. Et l'air conditionné marche! Notez qu'il n'y a qu'une seule chambre avec sdb. Les autres ont leurs sdb privatives de l'autre côté du couloir.

Had booked another hotel but had to relocate due to some problems there. Arrived at its doors within 30 minutes of booking, and the staff have already prepared my room for me. They were super helpful and gave me lots of useful tips about where to go in Penang. There is also biscuits, tea and coffee laid out in the courtyard common area for free consumption. The hotel itself is a delightful little heritage building with only 10 rooms. The one deterrent is some of the rooms do not have en-suite bathrooms, but instead there are stand-alone bathrooms down the corridor. It is not too inconvenient though, and you are the only one who has the key to the bathroom so it's quite private. The location of the hotel is also great, just off the main tourist area of Georgetown, but within easy walking distance to everything. Would definitely stay here again!

Before going to Penang, I would like to find a place in the city center and in a traditional house. Kelantan was exactly what I was looking for, in the city center, affordable. We were there in the low season, so we nearly have the whole hotel for our own and was very quiet. The toilet was situated outside the bedroom, but was privates (not a public toilet, like some said in their remark). One thing should be noted that if you want an upstairs room with windows. you have to accept the single beds, rather than a double bed bedroom, and with a window in the salon and courtyard. Staffs were very friendly, and suggested us places to visit. The hotel was very beautiful even according to a local when we showed them our restaurant. I would stay in the same place if I go back to Penang again.

I stayed here for 4 nights. My room(leisure suit) is on the 2nd floor and toilet is attached. This old traditional house/hotel is located between local houses and close to Komtar(shopping mall)and local market.(next to the police office) Core George town is walking distance but you can take any bus near the hotel to explore the interesting streets, even there's free bus every 30mins. It was very impressive to stay in the old house built of wood. I could read a book in the public living room looking at the sky, and listened to the sound of rain. Instead, I think this hotel would be little bit noisy and uncomfortable if you are sensitive. It's different from chain hotels which can protect your privacy and provide convenience completely. But for me, to stay here was a good experience and I'm satisfied with this! I want to stay here again.

The place itself is a beautiful old building with window shutters, old dark wood details and in some rooms I think also wooden walls. The courtyard is super quaint and I spent many torrential downpours there, under cover, enjoying the tropical weather. There is no breakfast available, but there are places close by. The area itself is not special as such, BUT it is still walking distance to most things and the free CAT bus towards Armenian Street and Central 'touristy' Georgetown leaves from just around the corner (every 15min, allegedly). The staff is super friendly. The TV had no reception but that didn't bother me, WiFi was not always great but definitely did the job, albeit sometimes slowly. I do recommend this place, but know that the beautiful building stands alone in the street it's located on, the rest are pretty run down and so just don't expect the whole area to be of a similar standard to this place.

Отличный мини-отель в старой части города Джорджтауна. Отреставрипованное здание колониальных времен. Отель малееький, и очень уютный. Наполнен разными старинными вешицами. Очень дружелюбный штат сотрудников. В общем не к чему придраться. Даже то, что душ с туалетом находится отдельно от комнаты не напрягало. Ванная комната для каждой комнаты своя!!

Beautiful heritage house which has been turned into a stunning accommodation. Room was comfortable and ornate. No breakfast offered at the accommodation which is a shame because the courtyard would be a nice place to have it. Slightly out of the way location but not too bad. Overall - fantastic
