We had an excellent stay in Ke-Lan -Tan house! The staff truly made it, they were so knowledgeable on the area and had lots of amazing recommendations. The hotel was quaint and had a lovely atmosphere and was unbelievably spotless. The bathrooms were down the corridor from our rooms, but it wasn’t an imposition as it was your own private bathroom

A welcoming stay

This little gem nestled in the heart of Georgetown was better than I expected. I had read about it on a blog and booked immediately. I was not disappointed. The manager/owner is the sweetest man whose attention to detail couldn’t be faulted. The rooms are cosy, personal and all named after streets in the area. It is spotlessly clean and the little touches they added were so nice. It really beats staying in a large, franchised hotel. One evening he knocked at our door with a hand written note of local restaurants to try. I would highly recommend this for a stay. There is no breakfast/food options but really makes no difference as the food in the area is unreal. Some of the rooms don’t have en-suites but have private bathrooms close by. We didn’t even see any other guests while there as it was so private. Great location, great price and the friendliest staff!

Gemstone in Georgetown

We stayed 4 nights here .Our stay was really enjoyable in a lovely old heritage property.We found that the private bathroom which was not en suite was just across the landing from our room and was not an issue.The main attractions in Georgetown was easily accessible and also a  handy free bus service was close by.On arrival we were given lots of information on places to see and restaurants to visit by Marcus at reception.Would definitely recommend.

Traditional heritage property

Stayed 3 nights. We had an ensuite but not all rooms have an attached bathroom. Room was comfortable and the hotel is very quiet as it is on a small street in the city centre. The staff were friendly.

Ensuite 

The building is so beautiful, I have stayed in ground floor room and I really liked it even tho there is no window like other review state.
As we know this is a heritage building is not a problem as the surroundings are so great and the common area so pleasant as well. 
This is a very clean place as well and have a complimentary tea / coffe and biscuits station.
The price is low and I did not expected nothing great but It was a superb experience and a must see building inside and the master bedroom is mind blowing .


Great stay

This place was too rough. The shower didn't work (no hot water), the bed was hard, and wifi connection didn't reach the room - had to use it downstairs which is okay at night, but during the middle of the hot day with no aircon, was uncomfortable.

I had planned to do some work on my laptop during my stay. Glad I only booked one night and could move to another hotel (Muntri Mews - much better!!) the following day where I could sleep and do some work in relative comfort.

This hotel also asked me for 100RM cash deposit on arrival - which took me completely by surprise as I only had 150RM on me for spending money. Why wouldn't they accept a credit card? The next hotel I stayed at required no deposit at all! 

Finally, this hotel's website has photos of families. I travelled solo this trip which was fine. I would no way have wanted to stay here with my child - it would be way too uncomfortable between the non-working shower and all the stairs.

Wish I didn't stay here

Stayed here for 3 nights and it was wonderful. Although the bath is not ensuite for my room type, you don't share your bath with other rooms (you will receive separate key for bath & bedroom) so it is just like living in traditional kampung-style houses back in the old days!

Although there are other guests in the house we barely met anyone and almost felt like we own the whole place the entire stay.

Discreet but central quaint establishment!

This is a beautiful, quaint and comfortable place.  

If you are a fan of beautiful wooden old houses, then you must stay here.  We loved it!  

You are not allowed to wear shoes in the house (they have a place where you can put it) but its something you wouldn't mind at all considering how serene the place is. 
 
It is a walking distance from a number of popular restaurants and the staff are attentive.  There's tea and coffee available in the kitchen but you have to remember to leave your keys at the reception when you step out.  I was guilty of forgetting but they were very nice about it.  

The hosts have obviously thought of everything.  There are maps in the rooms and suggestions of where to eat and places to visit - what more could you want!

Do stay here if you get a chance.

A must do!

The moment you walk into the classic old-fashioned resort, you can sense the unique atmosphere of quietness and peace of mind. The decorations and variety cute small little things will make you completely relaxed. Mr Zhu at the reception was really helpful and kind. Will come back next time in George Town.

Beautiful resort, friendly staff, close to the center

For my third and final night in Penang, I chose this small hotel with just 10 rooms. I was allocated a room downstairs called Pitt Street. It was amazing how many old buildings in Penang have nowadays been converted to usually quite charming and rather unique small hotels and Ke-Lan-Tan House did not disappoint. Mr. Jason, the friendly owner, was most helpful indeed, with various tips for my final day in Penang, during my solo holiday tour of Malaysia, this year.
