Located within Georgetown, it is within walking distance to many of the attractions in Georgetown. The food selection and availability is also incredible. What is most attractive though about this property is that is retains so much of the original vibes of a peranakan shophouse. The blend of historical furnishing and modern amenities makes for a nostalgic and yet comfortable stay. The only setback is its location along a narrow road. This means getting on and alighting from transport is going to pose some challenges, and the noise from the roads gets in if you are in the road-facing rooms like we were. Its is ideal for larger groups and we would definitely recommend it for families or larger group of friends.

We stayed here at the start of a family holiday and were impressed with everything! The beautiful historic building, our super comfortable suite and the delicious food. We would like to mention Sandra in particular, who was so welcoming and made our too short stay so memorable. 10 out of 10!

There was absolutely nothing what we did not like! We loved the history of the place, it was unique and the staff Ben, Sandra and Bell were wonderful. Always there with a smile and little ideas what to do next. The room was huge and super clean. So many details every where and so quiet. Outside is the hustle and bustle which is super great and inside is peace and quietness! We would come back any time.

A Quiet and Relaxing Refuge
We liked this place-- and George Town--very much. Sandra's attention to service-- making us feel welcome, well-fed, and helping us to discover the layout and sights of Penang-- was exceptional. Her restaurant suggestions were very good. She was also very kind to my 7-year old granddaughter. The hotel and our room were very clean. The location is very good for exploration of George Town. Minor suggestions for improvement include: -Make sure rooms have more toilet paper -Soap is refilled in bathroom -Clarify clean towel replacement policy.

An affirmation to every wonderful review we read!
Ou stay was AMAZING & service provided was exceptionally great! The staff were friendly, prompt & knowledgeable. A huge shoutout to Nick & Sandra! They were people that we interacted with the most. Nick can always be seen smiling & he makes you feel right at home! Sandra goes above & beyond to make your stay like no other. She is sharp to turn any remark to an opportunity for customer delight. She also gave us a lot of recommendations on places to visit. The whole masnsion is wonderfully furnished & restored with a historical taste. We are very pleased with our room. It is beautiful. We would also like to affirm every wonderful review on East Indies Mansion we have read before our trip. IT IS TRUE. We will definitely return & will be glad to refer everyone we know to stay here.

All the staff at Hotel is excellent. Sandra, Nick, Tom and other guys. From check in to check out can't fault anything. What make the stay memorising is the staffs. Have been stayed many hotel over the years but this one stand out. Having no TV even makes things interesting as we spend more quality time as family.

An oasis of serenity in the bustle of central Georgetown, you won't find a better place to stay. Smashing location - right in Little India with food and market stalls on the streets, central to the Old Town with street-art everywhere and a few minutes walk to the main bus station. The hotel is a scrupulously clean immaculately restored old mansion with spacious rooms and all the amenities. The staff are wonderfully friendly and attentive. You won't be sorry you chose to stay at East Indies Mansion but you will, like us, be sorry to leave.
