Location Fascinating historical building

Wifi was intermittent but not a big deal.

Loved the decor, even nicer than the pictures.

Nothing to say here.

This is a charming and fascinating place to stay right in old Georgetown. Full of character with a sense of Penang as it was, except with appropriate modern comforts. The staff were exceptional, going out of their way to help us with our awkward onward travel arrangements. Would definitely stay again.

We wanted to stay in a central location without having to drive out much, and Ren I Tang was perfect! It was literally a short walk to all the best sights and restaurants in Georgetown. The building is a historical masterpiece in itself. Their breakfast was a mix of local and Western fare so we found it to be a well-rounded presentation. Most hotels would charge separately for breakfast but it's included in the price, which is a nice touch. Kudos to the Management and staff for the service we received during our stay at this lovely heritage inn. From the Reception to the serving staff to the Management, we really felt the warmth from all.

Nothing, just wish we had stayed for more than 1 night.

Perfect location in the Little India area. Such a unique property, truly memorable with excellent staff and a wonderful breakfast.

Slight noise from the bin collections early in the morning but it was just around 5 to 10 minutes

The staff there are just the most incredible team ever. Room was incredibly spacious in a most stunning heritage building.

After checking out, turns out I forgot my electric toothbrush. When we returned to the hotel prior to flying out, there was no staff in sight to ask. SInce then it has been 3 days trying to contact them via booking.com, directly and by phone to try to arrange to get it back and they do not respond to me. It is really weird as the whole stay was wonderful but once we check out they treat us as if we don't exist.

Great location, amazingly delicious breakfast, wonderful heritage building. Everything about our stay was wonderful and staff are nice

The room was great and clean, comfortable beds and a fabulous shower. The breakfast was unforgettable. There were lots of choices from local tasty foods and fruits and lots of delicious home-made items. Most of all, all the staff were awesome, they were warm, friendly and helpful. We felt welcome and treated as family. Joline, the manager, spent a lot of time helping us book the inter-city train tickets online so that we could have a worry-free trip in Malaysia. We couldn't thank her more. It's truely a wonderful place to stay.

Some noise from stores nearby early morning

Ambiance. Responsiveness of the staff

The steps can be a bit steep but didn't bother us

Nicely decorated hotel which is runned by very kind owners. We travelled a lot and the breakfast served is by a distance the best we have ever had. So much variety and unique flavors! Furthermore; the rooms are spacious, good shower and bed. Even though it's located in a lively area in Georgetown it's quiet at night. We highly recommend this hotel at a convenient location in the heart of Georgetown

Depending on where your room is located in the hotel, you will be more or less bothered by the noise from the streets so bring earplugs. I hope they will plaster the ceilings so that it will be even more beautiful and give less of a feeling that it is not finished yet

The atmosphere in the hotel is pleasant and the staff is friendly and helpfull. The rooms have been nostalgically renovated and the hotel is centrally located in Georgetown.

To be aware, the rooms are on a very busy street with poor isolation so there is noise through all the night.

The restoration of the heritage building is beautiful and they really did a great job in keeping original parts. The stuff is extremely nice and the breakfast was quite good.

The Ren I Tang offer a unique stay experience. The building is a traditional heritage style building and maintained in that style. I stayed in the airwell room which perfectly preserved the character of the room. Room was a good size given its unique layout, good toilet and very nice shower. The stairs to the bedrooms are quite steep and there is no lift but I was aware of this before booking and didn't effect my stay but may effect someone with mobility issues (just to be aware). The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful with recommendations of things to do and places to eat, they felt more like friends by the end of it than staff and were quite happy to chat when coming in at night. The location is incredibly convenient in the little India area of Georgetown but all of the main attractions (jettys/fort/street art) are all easily in walking distance from the hotel and there are so many food options within walking distance of the hotel you're spoiled for choice. I ate in their bistro for dinner and they offer a good range of traditional food and more western options and well priced. Breakfast was lovely, a mix of continental style and eggs cooked to order. I would happily recommend and happily stay here again

This is a wonderful boutique hotel with heritage history to make it unique. The interior is completely conserved but facilities are still modern (with perfect AC as well). There is a small restaurant in the lobby area that is open the whole day, which was extremely convenient for us. We ate there many times and the food was amazing. The staff is helpful and kind. I would recommend this stay to anyone traveling to George Town :)

Everything. The location is ideal for exploring Georgetown by foot. The owners/staff are courteous and informative. Lovely eclectic mix of items to explore in their museum area and fantastic bistro to chill out in with great food. We really enjoyed the evening meal we took here.
