    “A beloved place”

    I had been wanting to stay at this hotel after seeing pictures of it, but unfortunately, it was fully booked... However, I couldn't give up and kept watching, and one day I discovered a vacancy and immediately made a reservation. Upon arrival, I thought the hotel building and rooms were even nicer than what I saw in the pictures. The interior was photogenic no matter where you took a picture, and the exterior stood out beautifully against the clear Penang sky. I was unaware that breakfast was included, but I was able to enjoy a meal in the building next door, which also had a nice atmosphere. There weren't many options, but they had a selection of Malaysian, Western, and Indian cuisine. During my stay, guests greeted each other and had brief conversations, creating a friendly atmosphere. Some guests even shared tourist spots in Malaysia with me. I overall loved this hotel, but what stood out the most was the staff. Everyone at the front desk and in the restaurant was kind and attentive. Our arrival flight was delayed, and we arrived in the middle of the night; our return flight was also confirmed to be delayed, so we had to store our luggage for an extended period. This information was shared among the staff, so even when different people were at the front desk, they knew about it without us having to repeat it, and they were very accommodating. I loved everything about the hotel, from the building and room size to the wonderful staff. I want to stay here again, so I want to visit Penang once more.

    “Lovely historic conserved hotel”

    Hotel location in the heart of Georgetown- very easy to visit the attractions and night food streets eg Chulia food street is 3mins away. Hotel staff especially Jeva and another lady staff went out of their way to make our stay at Yeng Keng so enjoyable and memorable. Kudos to both of them. We booked the Chulia suite, no regrets. Hotel was very clean and well maintained. Do note there's no lift so might be challenging for some with their luggage. However Jeva helped us with ours and he took care of the smallest details eg cooling our room as we came out from the extreme noon heat on the day of checkin - much appreciated.

    “Heritage hotel in the heart of George Town”

    We initially had reservations about booking in this hotel, as the name sounded so local…but we were amazed at the beauty of this gem of a place right smack in the middle of UNESCO Heritage Site George Town! Our guest room was tastefully designed in true Peranakan fashion, lighting was sufficient, our bed was comfortable, ample toiletry items were provided, air conditioning was ideal, and WiFi was working. The receiving areas and other cozy nooks and spaces of Yeng Keng Hotel invited one to just sit and relax and enjoy the place. Staff were friendly, cheerful, hospitable, and accommodating. We had a late flight out of Penang and were given extra time to check out late. We lounged in the receiving area while waiting for a good time to head to the airport, and were continually made comfortable and welcome by the staff who provided us bottled water, use of power outlets to charge our phones, and continued use of WiFi. The only suggestion we would give is for the kitchen staff to be creative in alternating the (complimentary) breakfast menu items, and not just offer the same menu every morning.

    “Just Delightful”

    This boutique hotel is full of old world charm. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was small, but had everything you needed to be comfortable. This was our first stay, but definitely not our last.

    “Great location, friendly staff, clean room”

    Room: space just nice for 3 pax (I do not have big luggage, so that the room size is just nice for 3 of us), clean, bed is comfortable. our room at ground floor, quiet even nearby got a lot of bars. but you can hear the soft praying sound in the morning which is came from the mosque opposite the hotel. Toilet: big and clean. It is good if hotel can provide hair conditioner too. Towels are clean and soft. Staff: very friendly and helpful Breakfast: simple but delicious. but maybe can have slight change of the menu every morning. swimming pool: small location: convenient. Family mart and 7-11 are nearby. walking distance to all the tourist places and eating places. Feel happy to stay here. Will stay here again for the next visit to Penang.
