A corridor with wooden railings, red doors, and a tiled floor leading to a central area with large plants.

Seven Terraces Hotel

Downtown George Town

10/10 Excellent

If you appreciate the history, literary and literal, of Raffles Hotel in Singapore, and project it to Penang, you're "there" at the Seven Terraces. As One who lived in South East Asia decades ago, this is a "beam me up, Scotty" opportunity for time travel. If you accept the proposition that a single overnight experience is severely limiting, give yourself at last two nights, allowing you to "return" to your accommodations at the Seven Terraces and steep yourself in their comforts, both in the...

23 LoveLane Penang

Downtown George Town

10/10 Excellent

We stayed here two nights (23+24 June 2014) while on a round trip in Malaysia. This hotel is pricey compared to the other hotels/B&B in the neighborhood, but its definitely worth the price. The hotel looks like the pictures and has very nice calm over it. Service is great, we didn't had a refrigerator in the room but they just put a mini refrigerator in the room since we had something to celebrate! The afternoon tea is also a thing to experience, we thought this was only a cup of tea, but we...
