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. Loved the location and the vibe of the hotel. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming. Room in itself was very cozy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this to all who are travelling to Penang!

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. The villa is amazing! Location wise it is close to the centre and all famous food spots are walkable. The food stalls outside the villa is also awesome. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We spent a fun time playing congkak together. The staff also allowed late check out due to our flight delay. We had a private bathroom to ourselves, which is a treat. Please note some other rooms may have your bathroom outside of your room. In general, we are very satisfied and happy with our room. Will definitely come back next time!!
