I rarely write reviews but feel compelled to share about  the amazing experience we had here. This is a very special boutique property in a perfect and safe location in Penang. The property itself is a historic site, beautifully restored, very clean and comfortable. It feels like you are in a history book and experiencing the beauty, architecture and rich culture with modern western facilities/restroom/showers/bedding.  We were a family of 6 (2 adults/4 college age children) traveling with some extended family (ages ranging from 88 - 2). The property is in a perfect location with restaurants, shopping, markets and historical sites. You will be steeped in culture all around. There is something for everyone nearby including an I inexpensive Michelin star restaurant within a few blocks which we ate at more than once. The staff at this property is amazing! They are extremely knowledgeable, kind and attentive.  They helped us plan excursions such as a cooking class (highly recommend), bike tour, rickshaw rides, massages, shopping and meals. This is one of our very favorite vacation venues and experiences. We typically stay at Starwood or Hyatt properties as I have status there, but will for sure return to this venue when we return. Whether you are traveling solo, couples or families… I highly recommend. Five out of five star experience!

High quality experience- historic property, location and amazing staff.    5 stars!

We had a really lovely stay at East Indies Mansion. The room (Anistar 2) was spacious and comfortable, particularly after figuring out how to adjust the air conditioning louver to not blow directly onto the main bed. The single bed was perfect for our 12-year-old son, but I would not put an adult over 5ft 5in on the small bed.
Hotel staff was so friendly and extremely helpful in pointing us towards restaurants and activities. They really helped make our stay so great.
Breakfast was excellent. There was a rotation of options, with the continental breakfast being the weakest of what we had. Our son loved the Chinese (dim sum) breakfast so much we had that twice during our 4 night stay.
We loved the little details/amenities. It was great to have parasols/umbrellas to borrow in such a hot and sunny climate. Laundry service was quick and available for a reasonable price. We were able to get our sweaty clothes cleaned halfway through a 2 week trip.
Hot tip: make sure you get a dessert at the bing su place a few doors down from the hotel. Best we've ever had!

Don't hesitate to stay here!

A beautiful hotel with very welcoming staff. We had generous and comfortable accommodation for a family of six to stay together in one space. The location was perfect to explore historic Georgetown and access some excellent restaurants. We did not want to leave.

A magical place that evokes the world of Tan Twan Eng

Such an amazing hotel!! The staff was very attentive and thoughtful. When we weren’t able to have breakfast on our last day they packed us some to go bags for the plane. The hotel itself is beautiful and historical. Location is great- easily walkable to all the main attractions. They also have amazing air conditioning which was very important in the Malaysian heat! I could not recommend staying here more!

Beautiful Hotel

We had a fantastic time at East Indies mansion. The hotel is absolutely magnificent and very well maintained. The staff is adorable and very helpful (they did everything they could to help us). The situation is ideal. The room was gigantic and very cosy. I would 100% go back there. It totally exceeded our expectations.

East Indies mansion exceeded our expectations!

This hotel is in a great location - many places to eat and near one of the free Penang CAT bus stops. We arrived in the evening and were greeted by one of their very friendly staff. Walking through the magical courtyards and greenery, it feels like you’re transported back in time.

We were pleasantly surprised to be offered complimentary afternoon tea every day during our stay. The hotel is super clean and the turn-down service at night meant that we were left a little gift on the bed every evening after returning from dinner. 

Can’t fault this hotel, other than the fact it’s an old building so guests should be mindful of making too much noise. But with the small number of rooms, we had no problems with that.

The staff are really a credit as well, so friendly and quick to help with anything we needed.

We will always stay here when we visit Penang, and you will be glad to do the same! 

A MUST STAY in George Town

Impeccably renovated historical mansion with beautiful, large, airy rooms. Perfect central location. Lots of great eats around. But what really made our stay were the staff. AiTee, Joanne and Kanmani were all wonderful. The whatsapp communications before our stay were excellent. And the enthusiastic and friendly advice (especially about street food - the reason for our visit!) was really what made our trip. Thanks!  

The staff are wonderful!

The decor of this historic mansion is intriguing and simultaneously delightfully restful. There are multiple areas to sit and contemplate, rest, read or relax. Although items of furniture and decor are historic, everything is kept immaculately clean. The staff are SO considerate and kind and thoughtful. The breakfast was amazing and brought to your own table by the staff. I felt SO personally cared for, it was a really delightful experience.

A haven

The hotel has a very homey and tranquil atmosphere. For example, the rooms are decorated with many personal touches (great for art and antique lovers), the staff compliment is small and attentive which adds to the personal atmosphere and there are many communal areas in which you can relax and enjoy some of the lovely meals (ever-changing) and snacks provided by the hotel. The accommodation is located within the heart of the historic part of the city and there are many recommendable activities nearby. 

A classic hotel experience - even with treat on your pillow every evening!

We always very fascinated with those mansion with great history behind and  wanted to experience how it is like to live in a mansion and be serviced like the owner . . East Indies Mansion provided us the experience we are looking for -   this boutique hotel was once a mansion of a Kapitan - House of Koh Lay Huan, the first Kapitan Cina of Penang. Spending 3 nights at the hotel enable us to experience the day and night life in the mansion. Staff are very friendly and we are greeted every corners we go at the mansion. Oh yes, the hotel also served afternoon tea for its  residents. Do enjoy this special treats too. 

The hotel also located at strategic location within George Town. We just walked to all destinations. This was our first time to Penang without a car and we did not feel odd at all as it provide yet another total difference experience exploring Penang. 

If you like personallzed and exclusive experiences you will like East Indies. ❤️

Experience the live of the Rich in a well preserved mansion in George Town Penang.
