Jawi Peranakan Mansion Reviews

Do NOT book this hotel! Gentleman at the front desk was extremely rude. Very bad experience staying there cuz he quoted quite clearly that, I as a tourist should have change of money, and I should have known this is a 3 star hotel therefore I shouldn’t be expecting anything nice from him, and I’m more than welcome to report him which I did. I hope he never works in hotel or any tourist service at all for rest of his life. No sense of any respect, full of himself.

Everything here was just perfect! We were so lucky to be upgraded to villa room: cozy stylish decor and all we needed was there; kettle, hairdryer, coffee tea water, fresh towels and bed made daily, our own private smoking area just outside our door. Staff were the best , always smiling and helpful. and location was close to everything significant in town. Just amazing! We did not tested the pool as it seemed a little small but we were out in town all the time anyway and never needed to.

Excellent place to stay. Very nice renovated property which has some nice touches.

Lovely hotel with fabulous service and staff that truly make you feel like you’re’home’ .

Overall, a decent small boutique hotel in a very central location. Beautifully restored mansion. Although there is no onsite parking, we did not have much problem parking our car along the street. The only setback is that there is no coffee and kettle in the room.

This is a very quaint and memorable hotel with a really pretty, old-fashioned room. However, the stairs to the loft inside the room do not have any handles on one side. The biggest problem is a very stinky street gutter right by the entrance of the hotel; in fact, the streets of old town George Town are all a bit smelly. The weather is unbearably hot and humid in early May.

Stephanie is the evening Manager and she took care of us and gave a tour. Please note that they do not serve breakfast but do have morning coffee (complimentary). Really nice friendly staff and the rooms are very comfortable with firm King Size beds. will come back for sure! Thank you for the great stay.

Comfy with Peranakan Vibe! Worth the visit when you are in town!

I love love this place But its a bit warm the room The manager en muis and his team very helpful and excellent service We feel like home.

So far ok

Very cosy place to stay. Feeling great. Nice place. Friendly staff

Nice and pleasant stay. Everything is perfect except for carpark.

The hotel as a whole is very unique... I live in a 2-story Villa, which is very Malaysian and Nyonya style. The hotel staff have good service attitude. The location is accessible in all directions. Buying souvenirs and traditional Malaysian printing and dyeing are nearby, and there are many food choices!

The old town of George Town is full of old buildings. The store here is managed by Malays who don’t understand Chinese. The environment is okay. It has a structure of a two-story building. The stairs are steep and not suitable for guests with weak legs. The second floor will be warmer overall. There are only two split air conditioners. After being exposed to the sun during the day, the second floor must be turned on to maximum power to cool down. The wooden structure causes noise when turning, and there is a bit of noise when a motorcycle passes by the roadside. Malays pray five times a day, and there is a mosque next door. , they all use a big loudspeaker and grandpa leads the singing. They sing for 5 minutes around 6:20 in the morning. The big loudspeaker should cover the entire neighborhood, which is also quite special. The coffee and biscuits are all available casually. The style is indeed very traditional and nostalgic. It is definitely not superior but it is a bit unique. There is basically no service. The light in the bathroom on the first floor was broken and no one took care of it. You must print a tax-included certificate and they will make a copy for the record. This way you don't waste time checking out. There are a lot of places to eat nearby and the old town feels pretty good.
