Nice atmosphere, close to interesting Highlights

Noisy bar with live music close by, 11pm-1.30am Wed-Sun music from outside and normal windows = no sound isolation in the room

Lovely hotel - the room was spacious with a closet, desk and a couple of chairs. Very clean and comfortable. Great shower! The staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the historic building. Great location for walking around Penang. Massage place across the street was also good.

The breakfast wasn't much - fruit would be a great addition. I would suggest reserving without breakfast as there are many cafe's near by offering very nice breakfasts.

The location is superb with popular eateries nearby. It's a quaint little hotel. The bed is firm and it's very clean and well kept. There's a really nice little souvenir shop next door too.

It can get noisy occasionally esp for rooms facing the road but overall not too bad as it's not too busy a road. Breakfast is a waste of time. They should do away with breakfast and charge less for room since there are so many eateries within walking distance.

It was located near a lot of the places that we wanted to visit. Very convenient place to base ourselves to explore Penang. We loved the air-well that was the centre of the building with its tiled mosiac pieces.

The only thing we had trouble with were the stairs as our knees are not well. Especially when we had to carry our luggage up and down when checking in and out. Other than this, we had a lovely time there.

This is where you want to stay in Penang; the kind of boutique hotel that is a part of the history and culture of George Town. A great spot to start walking from with lots of great food options around but still quiet enough for a good night’s sleep.

Breakfast starting at 8am was too late for me. Also I could not do my early morning runs because the door was still locked at 5am.

Beautiful and cosy boutique hotel. Room was comfortable and air conditioning was great after a hot day out. Loved staying in a traditional peranakan style home and the breakfast was good. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is walking distance to many places and right across, there is a very good Borneo Massage and foot reflexology place.

Nothing to dislike.

The Peranakan decoration is what attract us to the hotel. Very cosy. Room is of generous size. There are 2 racks for luggage. More than 2 chairs for resting. Best is the water pressure. We enjoy our bath very much much. This hotel is also in close proximity to every where.

Breakfast variety is very very limited.

Basically everything: location is perfect, close to the busy streets with pubs and bars on one side, local food on the other; bus station to national park 2 minutes away if you don't feel like taking a cab. The receptionist guy was super friendly, super smiling, gave us good tips to find places; great experience The bed was really comfortable (not the soft type), no view from the garden but we knew what to expect; clean, good water pressure... Yep. Basically everything

We could hear some furniture moving from neighbor above (not loud but could disturb someone with light sleep); but I guess it's inevitable in this kind of shop house. Honestly we slept really well in any case.

Nam Keng Hotel was exceptional in the following areas for my recent solo stay: 1) room was big and comfortable and well equipped with the necessary amenities 2) the front desk staff, Ms Priya and Mr Tharan were always on hand to make sure my stay was comfortable. I managed to follow some of Mr Tharan’s excellent recommendations on where to eat in Georgetown. 3) Location was within walking distance to all the good food in Georgetown.

nil.

Small quiet hotel. Centrally located and walking distance from a lot of happening places. Super friendly staff. The family room was large enough for three persons. Nice bathroom with latest fittings.

Breakfast is very basic and the same things repeated every day. However, this was known and wasn't a surprise for us. I suppose for a small hotel it is difficult to have a lot of variety. Quantity available was plenty and it serves the purpose.
