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. Amazing heritage setting. Such a beautiful and interesting hotel. Breakfast was simple but delicious and plentiful. Our loft room was super quirky (loved the light fitting and decor- see photos), quite large, the bed was comfy and there were books in it- which I always love! Staff were so helpful with personal suggestions for places to eat and see. A lovely touch to offer a take out breakfast for our early flight home too. Thanks for an amazing stay in your fantastic city- We loved it!

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. A good stay starts with feeling truly welcomed, and this place delivered on every level. From the moment I arrived, everything I needed was provided, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The rooms are spotless, the bed is incredibly comfortable, and the location is absolutely unbeatable. It’s the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and great service. Highly recommended!

Located in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach, Cocoa Mews Cafe and Homestay provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free WiFi and a shared kitchen. The property is around 2 km from Penang Times Square, 8.2 km from Straits Quay and 8.2 km from Penang Botanic Gardens. Penang Hill is 9.4 km from the guest house and Queensbay Mall is 12 km away. The hospitality was undescribable. It really felt like being at home. Every day the breakfast is different wonders of traditional food to explore. And snacks are provided during the day. Every day you are inspired by the staff to explore different sights in the town that you would not have known of. This is the best experience I have had ever during my time of traveling. Just go here and try for your selves. The "boss" is a Garfield cat and he is great❤️
