"The room was clean and nice with a mini bar. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful plus they will take you to the shopping area next to them saving time and carrying your bags back. The breakfast was amazing as well I have no complaints. I will stay there again."

"Charged us for a deluxe room and gave us a room 2/3 the size no curtains, no room safe, noisy and not cleaned properly - still half full drink bottles from previous tenant.
Several years ago it was well run, not any more. L"

"Convenient location and close to shops, food and a few attractions. Property is just “looking tired” and needs some updating. Lighting in the room could be brighter . Rooms are pretty basic but adequate."

We stayed here for 2 wonderful nights.
The hotel features in the World Boutique Hotel Awards Collection 2015 and rightly so. With 11 beautiful bedrooms, library, roof terrace, stylish traditional design and friendly staff who make every effort made to accommodate customers exacting requirements this as good as it gets. Just don't expect an olympic sized swimming pool, gymnasium and conference facilities.

Boulder Valley is a very special place where you feel very close to nature. The tents are amazing and the beds comfortable without having to deal with any threat of insect life etc actually inside the tent apart from the odd mosquito especially if it rained (just take some mosquito coils with you). Being in a valley, noise tended to travel especially at night if anyone was partying but generally, once re indeed people were thoughtful. The restaurant was very good with a good range of food all...

Everything was clean throighoit the whole hotel.
Premium quality finish on Premier room.
Pool/bar area was a nice place to chill with a good city view.
Gym was good, could just do with with a few more weight machines in my opinion.
All staff very friendly 😃

A beautiful, new hotel with wonderfully helpful staff. Rahul at breakfast and the rest of his team were especially nice. Offering takeaway items without us having to ask which was a nice touch. Location was really good but we loved Penang as a whole anyway. Message wasn't the best but can't fault anything else with the hotel. Nice poolside too, would definitely return.

This hotel is so very beautiful and unique, expressing love for a vibrant bygone age that was the Peranakan Chinese in the late 19C and early 20C in the highly decorated southern Chinese furniture, objets and gilded carpentry in the hotel's overall decor, as well as the use of Victorian floor tiles which was favoured for both their beauty and practicality. Standards are some of the highest anywhere, in stylish and unique decor, cleanliness (pristine), friendliness and helpfulness of the staff...

Staff were always friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful. Everything is brand new and lovely. Rooms are elegant and spacious with an excellent shower. Great location for walking to Little India, Little China, the heritage area, jetties, street art, and many eateries of all kinds. Beautiful rooftop infinity pool with towels and shower.

There are many boutique hotels out there these days, some much better than others, but the Edison George Town has to be up there as one of the best I have stayed in. Smack in the heart of colonial George Town is this wonderfully renovated hotel, brought back to life by the new owners.
The restoration of the hotel has been extremely well done and attention to detail impeccable throughout. Our bedroom was well furnished and comfortable, the bathroom, spacious with fine smelling gels and shampoos...

Areca Hotel was delightful, full of character, so much nicer than the high rise hotels we have been staying in so far on this trip. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, not only with a welcome drink, but an invitation to afternoon tea each afternoon of our stay. The room was small, but adequate and freshened every day inclcluding clean towels etc.

Its a wonderful building with very pleasant staff. Limited food options, but many local places to eat. Rooms are lovely, with lots of space. Road noise can be an issue, but wasnt for me.

The hotel is located in the city center. You can totally walk from one place to another within minutes. You can also find lots of food stalls with reasonable pricing around the city.
