Beautiful hotel and room, very comfortable, and located in a very central area of George Town. Despite being an old-style fashioned hotel, it is super modern in all its comfort. Staff is very friendly
Breakfast options could be more varied and of a bit better quality, and times could be extended
Tolle Lage, schönes altes Gebäude mit Geschichte, überaus freundlicher Service und Personal
Personnel incroyable aux petits soins sur toute la durée de notre séjour, Nasir en particulier. Ils ont fait un geste très attentionné pour notre lune de miel que nous avons beaucoup apprécié. La demeure est magnifique et s'inscrit parfaitement dans notre séjour à Georgetown. La piscine très agréable et les chambres pleines de charme. Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir!
Un peu de bruit a cause des bars environnants (surtout le samedi)
Las zonas comunes, hall y personal
El desayuno, tenía muy poca variedad
The staff were excellent the breakfasts were tasty and plentiful
Hotel design, location, staff was extremely kind
Nothing to declare
Very boutique style, gives a feeling of homy. Receptionists are very attentive and welcoming. The breakfast room is also stylish. Enough variation of breakfast

La ubicación del alojamiento era idílica para visitar los principales puntos turísticos y está rodeado de infinidad de restaurantes. Nos alejamos en la suite chulia, esta dividida en 2 estancias grandes (ambas con televisión) + el baño, lo que lo hace muy agradable. El staff fue increíblemente amable. Al día siguiente, nuestro autobús salía tarde, y nos guardaron las maletas para que pudiésemos seguir turisteando. Creo que había leído alguna reseña negativa del desayuno, en mi opinión, para estar incluido, es suficiente, tortillas al gusto, tostadas, salchichas, fideos y algún dulce. Si quieres otras opciones, tienes muchas cafeterias top alrededor y una tienda de cookies famosa.
No destacaría nada negativo
The staff are friendly and the room was comfy.
Lack of adequate soundproof was a bit annoying and the breakfast was not as fresh as expected.
La stanza troppo piccola per due persone
Emplacement top, charme de l'hôtel, de ses chambres et espaces communs, personnel accueillant et souriant, piscine rafraîchissante, petit déjeuner varié

Heel fijn hotel. Mooie schone kamers met goede douche. Prima ontbijt. Personeel zeer vriendelijk en attent. Lokatie uitstekend. Zwembad ook heel fijn.
Eerste nacht geluids overlast van straat tot diep in nacht echt harde muziek (maar volgens mij was er ook festival?). Tweede nacht hele avond geluiden van bovenburen gehoord, leek wel of ze meubels aan verplaatsten (wij hadden ook kamer beneden). 2 persoons kamer boven is wat krapper met minder kast ruimte.
Beautiful and spacious old historical home converted into a boutique hotel. Just excellent.

L’hôtel a beaucoup de charme et est idéalement situé. Le personnel est adorable. Tout était parfait !
Personal muy amable y hospitalario. Detalles que marcan la diferencia como palabras amables, toallas para la piscina, bebida de bienvenida... Edificio muy bonito. Habitación grande y cómoda. Restaurante bonito.
En el desayuno hubiésemos agradecido alguna bebida más y algo más "occidental". Pero estuvo perfecto! :)
Hôtel très bien situé proche du centre ville tout en étant au calme, le personnel est attentionné et serviable et l’établissement est magnifique, très reposant
Due to late flights, we arrived at Yeng Keng Hotel at 5am. I had informed the hotel and they had been very communicative and reassuring that there would be hotel staff to greet us; it was no problem at all. When we arrived, they were truly delightful, bringing us a refreshing local drink and checking us in quickly and with huge smiles. We were shown to our rooms which were spotless and very comfortable.
Very little! The hotel café/restaurant closed between 3-6pm so there was no way to order any food or drink (other than water or tea/coffee) during this time which was a shame.
Everything
Maybe hotter breakfast selections and a bit more variety.
Kleines historisches Hotel in der Altstadt. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Kleiner sauberer Pool, wo wir nachmittags im ein Platz gefunden haben.
Beim Frühstück hätte es mehr unterschiedliches lokales Obst geben können.
Beautiful heritage hotel in the heart of Georgetown. Amazing friendly staff, everyone had a ready smile and took their time to answer any questions and give us any information. Pool and garden area is so pretty and cute, good variety at breakfast.
Bed was too firm
All the staff are very courteous. The room is very cosy. Breakfast is a good cultural mix. Comfortable non-AC common areas for gathering.
Nothing
Nasi Lemak & kue Nyonya enak
Everything. The staff will go above and beyond to help, the space is really well maintained and decorated beautifully. Rooms are fresh, big and you’ll feel like you time travelled.
Nothing to report.
Cudowne miejsce. Zabytkowe, z klimatem. Idealne jako baza wypadowa do zwiedzania miasta. Sympatyczna, uśmiechnięta obsługa. Stylowe wnętrza. Śniadanie z lokalnymi przysmakami.
Emplacement parfait pour visiter George Town à pied! L’hôtel est très beau et atypique, petit déjeuner diversifié et bon. Personnel est au petit soin, ils nous ont même aidé pour contacter une agence de location de voiture! La piscine est un plus bien agréable.
La chambre est un peu petite pour 3 personnes, les toilettes dans la salle de bain pas toujours pratique mais pour 2-3 jours ça allait.
We love the location in the heart of George Town , the ambiance of the place and available parking.
Le bâtiment historique. Tout cela ressemble si on était au 19eme siècle, mais en même temps tout est moderne pour le confort
J’ai tout aimé
The staffs are really friendly & helpful. Good location, walkable to most key attractions or just a short ride away. Easy to find food nearby.

We absolutely enjoyed every minute of our stay at Yeng Keng. The location was close to everything you need. It was magical to just walk outside and stroll along all the colorful streets and smell the aromas of some of the best food we’ve had in Malaysia. The staff was outstanding! So helpful and polite and made us feel very special. Shout out to Yeoh…customer service like we’ve never had before. The hotel was beautiful and full of character and charm. We wouldn’t hesitate staying here again!
Nothing…everything was perfect!
Location is great, so is the hospitality of the staff. The property is lovely and clean.
The room is on the smaller side and the mattress is very hard! We read about the same issue in some of the other reviews on this platform but did not pay attention to it until we faced it ourselves. Couldn't have a proper sleep.
Central du charme
Rue bruyante et mosquée à côté pour un réveil matinal
The location and the pool were great!
Beautiful property to stay and big!
We stayed for 2 nights in the Chulia suite. Staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and accomodating. The location couldn't have been better - everything was so close to hand! The character and style of the hotel is gorgeous - we loved that it was small and immaculately kept. We ate at the restaurant (at very short notice) and the food was fantastic and very well priced.
Bed was very firm. It did get noisy at times due to being a main road and with the muslim temple's call to prayer, but we were aware of this before we booked so nothing to complain about.
The location is very good, the breakfast is good and the staff is nice
The rooms are small, you dont have space to open 2 suitcases !
Tolle, zentrale Lage, sehr schön eingerichtetes Heritage- Hotel mit schöner Atmosphäre. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit; v.a. die junge Inderin an der Rezeption ist uns positiv aufgefallen. Das Frühstück hat uns gut geschmeckt und die Nionya Süssigkeiten waren sehr lecker.
Unser Zimmer war viel zu klein und zugestellt mit sperrigen unnötigen Sesseln. Wir konnten nur mit Mühe unser Gepäck darin unterbringen. Der Preis ist für die Grösse des Zimmers einiges zu hoch. Am Pool gibt es zu wenig Liegen und Sonnenschirme.
Super hôtel plein centre Bien equipé Personnel sympathique
Definitely one of the best hotels i stated in, in Malaysia. Right in the centre of town, but with the most serene, quiet atmosphere. Staff was very friendly and hospitality was great.
Location and cleanliness
Very limited options in breakfast. Also hardly 1 or 2 options only tor vegetarian
De locatie is geweldig, het personeel is supervriendelijk, het zwembad is zalig.
De bedden zij vrij hard en het ontbijt is redelijk beperkt qua keuze.
Location, parking, boutique
Breakfast was sufficient but more variety and local specialities would have been appreciated
Such a beautiful property! All the staff were so lovely and attentive! Breakfast was great, loved the inclusion of local sweets. Nice to have a pool
Nothing! Although I would warn others to not use the laundry service, as unfortunately everything we put in the wash returned a different colour and unclean The hotel was super apologetic and we didn’t have to pay for the service, but it’s not worth the risk
Great location, set right in the middle of tourist area but still quite. Beautiful boutique hotel and lovely attentive staff.
Bed was a bit too firm for us but this seems to be a pretty common issue in Malaysia.
Et nydelig hotell med veldig behjelpelig og hyggelig betjening. Beliggenheten var super og et stort pluss at hotellet har eget badebasseng.
Ingenting å utsette på vårt opphold. Hotellet anbefales på det varmeste
It was right in the centre of George Town where everything was going on
All the staff were friendly and helpful
Great location, without walking distance of Armenian St and other attractions Lovely breakfast, good variety of foods Nice pool to cool down
Great heritage hotel. Very accommodating staff! Great location and very nice experience
All was good
Bien situé, beaucoup de charme et un personnel tres attentionné
The location was perfect. We were able to walk or take a short Grab ride to all the places we wanted to go in George Town. Checking in/out was a breeze. The staff was wonderful, and the townhouse (number 7) was beautifully renovated and decorated.
The staff are fantastic. Great location and a pool
The location was great for us. In the livelier part of town and easy walking distance to the attractions we were visiting to see. Staff were really lovely throughout the stay. Pool area well maintained and nice to enjoy after hot day out. The building itself on the outside is really pretty.
The room was very dated. We paid for a better room but the pictures on Booking make it look much better than what you actually get. Very hard bed. AC very noisy and broke completely on our last night with a smell of burning. Breakfast was ok but not great.
Sehr sauberes, historisches kleines Hotel mit freundlichem Personal. Restaurants, Bars und Sehenswürdigkeiten alles in der Nähe. Zimmer sind sehr klein und die Betten hart. Das Frühstück ist ausreichend- wem es zu wenig ist kann sich zusätzlich etwas bestellen. Der Pool ist für eine kurze Erfrischung perfekt. Bei uns war es sehr ruhig.
The location is excellent, right in the center of the tourist area, within walking distance of Chulia Street food and many great cafés.
There is some noise from traffic at times. Adding a sofa in each room would further enhance comfort for guests.
Location is awesome and room is very clean and nice. Beautiful!

Everything about the hotel was great. The facilities, staff and the restaurant next door.
Upon my request, the hotel arranged for airport transfer once I checked out. However the driver was late. No apologies, nothing. Only said, "I dunno anything, my boss arranged the transfer. Talk to him." Yeng Keng hotel should re-evaluate using this transport vendor.
Loved staying at the Yeng Keng! Elegant and comfortable. Lovely staff
Absolutely nothing to dislike
Everything
The only suggestion is to not close the pool at 7PM, it's too early.
L'emplacement
Petit déjeuner catastrophique, Quelques clémentines et petits morceaux de pastèque, quelques bouchées de riz sucrées, oeufs... Aucun choix et pas de qualité. Seulement 4 transats autour de la mini piscine et literie qui laissait à désirer au niveau confort....je ne recommande pas cet hôtel il y a mieux !!!
Sehr schönes kleines Hotel im Zentrum von George Town
Bett war etwas hart
Le décor, l'emplacement, le personnel , le p'tit dej
La colazione è eccellente, anche la posizione in città.
la posizione della piscina, tra la cucina e l'aria condizionata
This hotel is in the perfect location for a visit to George Town
The beds were very firm
Staff were brilliant, room was clean with decent amenities (no body lotion though). Really lovely hotel in a great location.
Only 2 sun loungers by the pool. Breakfast was the same every day.
Beautiful hotel in a great location with friendly helpful staff .
Nothing!
Location, staff, Cleaning , pool
Breakfast was regular. Garden view is a side view
Very friendly staff, eager to please. Room was on the smaller side but functional. Air conditioning worked well but found we only needed the fan overnight. Pool was lovely and usually the only ones there. Easy to walk to lots of great restaurants. Breakfast was adequate. Great stay.
The bathroom had a funky smell, it was clean so I think it may have been from the drain. Bed was way too hard but that seems to be normal in Malaysia. There was something smelly left in the fridge from a previous guest. Banging door in the morning otherwise fairly quiet.
Just a lovely old style 😎
Breakfast was good. Would prefer if it started at 730 instead of 8 to get ahead of the heat of the day Nice pool available Rooms were small but comfortable Location was great Charming hotel, with an interesting history
Bed was too firm for us
Wunderschönes Haus. Wunderbare Lage.
Zimmer ohne Fenster (nicht lustig) Zu wenig Platz und zu laut beim frühstücken. Zu laut am Gang.
Så flot stil og så hyggeligt. Super venligt personale og altid smilende. Central beliggende i byen og alligevel roligt. Vi nød poolen og omgivelserne. Super morgenmad.
Beautiful building, friendly helpful staff, easy walking distance to town highlights, relaxed and varied breakfast to start the day.
I liked it all. I thought some of the paths along Chulia street could do with a trip hazard make over like some of the side streets
Location, cleanliness, historical look.
Street is a little noisy.
Me gusto mucho la ubicación , muy cerca de todo , la cama era comoda.La limpieza muy bien , silencioso ,
El desayuno poco variado
Cool experience to stay in a heritage building steeped in history! Convenient location, good breakfast, nice staff, and a small pool for a quick dip to cool off.
Location + history + colours + restaurant
All good
Excellent location, nice pool, great breakfast. Was there at Chinese New year and the lion dance in the courtyard was excellent
Nothing
It was like stepping back in time.Beautifully preserved and full of antiques
I found the matress on the bed a bit hard
Lovely traditional feel and very helpful staff
Beautiful hotel in a very vibrant locality. There are countless restaurants, bars and shops within a ten minute walk.The staff are excellent. The breakfast was wonderful. Although small the swimming pool was perfect for cooling down after a hot day.
The location can be a bit noisy, because of the mixed nature of the street.
Es war alles perfekt, nur das Frühstück war für den sonstigen Standard des Hotels recht einfach.
This is possibly the most beautiful hotel in Georgetown - small; centrally located; helpful friendly staff! The reception and dining areas were filled with stunningly ornate furniture and we felt fortunate to be able to access and stay at this historic hotel. Loved it!
Nothing. It was all so beautiful!
Beautiful, clean, and positive welcome from staff!
Prima ontbijt, genoeg keuze. De locatie is midden in de oude stad. Het personeel is supervriendelijk en attent. Kamers zijn keurig en klassiek ingericht
Het hotel heeft een zwembad wat een pluspunt is. Er zijn echter veel te weinig ligbedden en de vloer rondo. Het zwembad is spiegelglad als deze nat wordt!
The hotel is located in the midst of the historical quarter of George town, Penang. We had the suite which faced Chulia Street, a main thoroughfare.As such it was a little noisy but not a problem.We walked to most of the sights and restaurants. The hotel has a restaurant next to it which, however we did not try except for breakfast that was included.
The breakfast which was included was basic and disappointing.
The hotel is perfectly situated within walking distance, to immerse in all that Georgetown has to offer. The staff and service is excellent. All facilities are kept very clean and the pool was perfect to cool off every afternoon, after a morning’s walk, exploring Georgetown.
The bed had an extremely hard mattress.
Staff very kind
Room had no light, court yard view but actually view on a plastic carpet.. And no real value for money.
L’amabilité et la réactivité du personnel. Les chambres à l’étage sont calmes, spacieuses et les lits sont grands.
Les chambres du bas ne sont pas insonorisées et il fait lourd (malgré la clim allumée). Le petit déjeuner n’est vraiment pas bon, heureusement qu’il est compris dans le prix :)
