Historic hotel oozing with charm and character

Posted 9 Jan 2024 on Hotels
We absolutely loved our stay here. At first we weren't sure if we were entering the lobby or an antique shop but once we were inside we were greeted warmly, our suitcase was whisked upstairs using an ingenious rope pulley, and we were immediately immersed in a place where every single piece of decor was clearly carefully considered to fit within the antique style. Despite the old school surrounds, there were modern comforts like air conditioning, and every part of the hotel was also spotlessly clean (while retaining character). We stayed in a family room with our 2 kids aged 7 & 9, and there was plenty of room for the whole family. We had our own room with a door, while the kids had two single beds in the wider area. I especially appreciated their efforts to reduce their environmental impact by serving filtered water in glasses, even their bins were lined with old newspaper instead of plastic bags. If you stay here, make sure you have at least one lunch or dinner at the cafe downstairs, it was so delicious and packed with local flavours. Their breakfast selection was also surprisingly wide and super tasty, including nonya desserts and roti which my son loved. Location couldn't be better, you're a short walk from all of Georgetown's attractions. Overall I think we enjoyed our stay here more than our beach resort. If you see this hotel has availability, I urge you to book immediately, it's a real gem.

Ren I Tang was amazing. Every detail of the property was beautiful and I enjoyed everything about it. Shower gel, shampoo, coffee, breakfast just enough and perfect. The owners were helpful and welcoming and quiet and just perfect. I strongly recommend.

The antiquity and beautiful scene of the hotel itself and surroundings. The neighborhood is so warm and cultural by nature. I love also the staff and management of the hotel, very friendly and professional.

Staff were wonderful. Made us feel totally at home at this beautiful, historic building. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a really convenient and thoroughly enjoyable location in historical George Town. Look forward to visiting again next time we’re in Penang.

Loved it.

A lovely experience in a restored guest house, with generous and kind owners. An actual 'heritage' place, unlike other hotels claiming the same. Highly recommended if you want to stay in the UNESCO heritage zone. Also the food in the cafe was so delicious!
