Clean room, spacious bathroom, with two showers and two toilets making it comfortable for families.
Everything was spot-on.

We liked the staff, the linens, the overall style of the building.
Unable to feel a sense of space in the room -- which was called, "deluxe"; unable to enjoy breakfast beforedressing for the day; unable to locate hotel with ease even with some knowledge of the city geography; a sense that - this hotel has somewhat exaggarated its potential.

The setting is unbeatable and easy, really close to central Georgetown and a quiet area. Peppersalt Restaurant, where you can eat, is within walking distance of from here.
Their breakfast is poor, can be way much better.

Asian antiques, colonial seating areas, swimming pool for children
The cramped room lacked storage options for clothes!!! Limited TV channels restrict entertainment choices, and the shower's lukewarm water is disappointing!!!

My stay here was really nice. Unique hotel, the staff were all caring and amazingly attentive and the location was absolutely perfect on the outskirts of the busier part of Georgetown. Location: the property was just next door to main areas, many attractions and restaurant. Stopped by Fook Cheow Cafe to get some coffee and treats, it's within walking distance of the venue, recommend...

missingWrote a review on 02 Novcolonial decorlocal eateriesmaintenance issues
Colonial decor captivates with antique furniture and character. Ideal for leisurely explorations with multiple nearby local eateries, especially Nasi Kandar options.
The old building presents several quirks-street noise disrupts sleep, room conditions vary from dusty to uncomfortably small, and some maintenance issues like lukewarm showers diminish the experience. There's also a lack of soundproofing, which makes for a less private stay with all the bustling outside.

The hotel boasts a stunningly beautiful design, blending modern luxury with local heritage.
We encountered frequent noise disruptions from outside, particularly from street activities, hard to get a restful sleep.

missingWrote a review on 20 Octantique suitedelicious breakfastaccommodating staffpool unavailability
Staying at Museum Hotel seemed like a step into history. The antique furniture in the Art Decor Suite fascinated me. Two showers and two toilets made it perfect for my family. The breakfast menu included good options, especially the eggs benedict, which tasted fantastic. The pool wasn't available, disappointing since I had expected to enjoy it. The staff were accommodating, but the lack of air conditioning in public areas felt stifling at times. A notification about the pool being unavailable was not provided until my arrival. I enjoyed wandering through the brightly decorated historic streets nearby, and the quiet vibe at night was a pleasant contrast to the busy daytime. I wish the hotel had been more transparent about its facilities ahead of time.

Staying here, me heart was won over by the lovely, friendly staff who made us feel right at home. The rooftop terrace in the evening? Absolutely magical, watchin' the Penang storms roll in. But, the wifi? Bit dodgy, could do with a boost!

The historical ambiance with unique colonial features enhances the stay, complemented by a vibrant art collection. The breakfast had really good options, particularly the appetisers. The lack of storage space in the room made it challenging to unpack comfortably. While the staff were attentive, the intermittent Wi-Fi connectivity was a drawback.
