Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. This is a beautifully restored building in Little India! The hotel rooms are comfortable and have an AC (although you probably won't even need it, given the excellent construction). Staff were incredibly helpful, providing advice on the local area and even helping us get local street food when we had to leave before the breakfast buffet opened. The breakfast buffet is amazing, providing both Western options and local specialties. The location is amazing as well, in easy walking distance to shops, eateries and sights as well as the free shuttle bus.

There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with slippers, a hair dryer and free toiletries. At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels.

Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar is less than 1 km from the guest house, while Penang Times Square is a 18-minute walk away. Penang International Airport is 14 km from the property. Beautiful place, nice location, few minutes walking from main streets with lots of cafes, restaurants and shops but still it was quiet area. Karaoke bar nearby is actually really cute and it's nice to observe local community there. Usually it's closed after 10pm so it's not noisy at night, like some people wrote before. Place itself is really nice minimalistic style decorated. Everything you need is there - iron, fridge, ac, basic kitchen equipment, etc. It's also very clean and our room was very spacious (the one with the balcony). Owners send us a lot of tips about the city, places to visit, restaurants to try and attractions to check so it was super helpful! Also the city is amazing, really beautiful and worth staying longer than you think!
