Had a lovely stay at 7 terraces. It's in a nice location to walk around Georgetown. The room was beautifully restored and had all the facilities you'd need - comfy beds and even a nesspreso machine. There is a nice pool area too. The staff were very helpful when we needed a trip to a doctor. They showed great kindness that was very appreciated. We stayed in one of the apartments with 4 adults- there was a double and 2 single beds (upstairs) it was spacious and comfortable with a nice little roof terrace. Sometimes these kinds of places can feel a little stuffy, but not here. The staff were so friendly. It has a lift to the 2nd floor - but be mindful there are steps here and there due to the age of the property.

The design of the hotel is exceptional. Loved the large 2 level room (yes, stairs are steep but manageable) Most of the staff were friendly although some a little reserved. Enjoyed our daily swim in the pool. Good location on the edge of Little India. Lots of places to eat nearby. We ate dinner in the restaurant one night which was very good but too much food!!!

Definitely the breakfast which lets this hotel down. No almond or oat milk! Scrappy muesli & orange drink (not freshly squeezed) best breakfast item is the Nasi Lemak - so stick with traditional Malay breakfast.

Seven Terraces was quite a special place to stay. The heritage vibe is quite lovely but it wouldn't mean much without the staff - everyone was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room was the terraced duplex suite, Stewart St side, bed downstairs, living room and single bed upstairs. It's a luxurious space to retreat to in the hottest part of the day - and a pool downstairs with free tea and snacks in mid afternoon. The hotel has done a fantastic job of updating the rooms with mod cons (including two aircon units, multi plug and USB sockets) while preserving the old world charm. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the old town - a short walk to so many delicious restaurants Including the hotel's restaurant Kebaya) and an easy Grab ride everywhere else. I was concerned the room might get a bit loud, being on the Stewart St side with an open air bar around the corner, but there's wooden shutters and then doors between the bathroom and the bed and it was all surprisingly quiet. I even fell asleep in the middle of fireworks.

Nothing

Hotel is located in a quiet back alley steps away from hustle and bustle of Chulia Street, one block away from Little India. Beautiful, traditional Chinese interior design, furniture and room decor. Inside the rooms all modern conveniences including well functioning AC, Wi-Fi, TV, refrigerator and safe. Charming, helpful staff that greet and bid farewell to guests outside the front door. Quick help with luggage and efficient room cleaning. Daily snacks and tea at poolside at 3pm. Top-notch Kebaya restaurant on premises (advance reservations needed for dinner). Breakfast is served a la carte in one of the beautifully decorated rooms downstairs. Special thanks go to Nurul for her smiling face and for professional attention to all our needs.

Just a suggestion to perhaps offer more breakfast choices, such as yogurt, cereals and dim sum.

Very roomy 1 bedroom apartment in the Argus wing. There is a large sitting room downstairs with a large bathroom, the bedroom is upstairs with a balcony and separate toilet. All staff were nice, the reception people were always smiling, I think one of the receptionists was called Jolon as she was very helpful. There was a set menu breakfast with about 5 items on it which was very nice. The hotel is in a quiet street but still close enough to many restaurants and other types of eating venues.

Some people might find the internal staircase to the bedroom a bit steep.

We loved the traditional design and antique furnishings in this historic "Nyonya" style building. It was in a quiet back road in a central location with lots of cafés and restaurants nearby. After walking through busy and hot Georgetown, it felt like coming back to a calm, cool sanctuary. The staff were very friendly, happy to chat and helpful.

There was a lot of attention to detail with the antique room decor, but the cheap plastic bins didn't fit in. Due to the old building and the way the bathroom was added, the hand shower was in an odd location. Cleanliness in the bathroom could have been better. We loved our stay at the Seven Terraces!

The staff are very responsive to requests and very friendly. Location was great and walking distance to many food places. The Argus Apartment where we stayed was very spacious.

Prefer if the bathrooms had showers in cubicles so that the entire floor did not get wet when you shower. With the vanity and the loo in the same space, everything got wet. In the bathroom with the bathtub - the floor in front of the vanity would be completely wet after showering. Did not except the wood stairs to the upper bedroom to be so steep. Will be good of the description of the room can say that there is no shower in the upper bedroom.

Hospitable, knowledgeable and helpful staff at all levels (including cleaning staff, restaurant and bar staff, museum/gallery and antique shop staff, front office managers and staff) who were able to answer questions, respond to requests and make suggestions which were both informative and helpful. Returning after a number of years, we found that the premises continue to be well-appointed and maintained, offering and delivering a level of excellence expected of a boutique-style hotel - but with many special touches which improved the experience.

The first time we stayed here, we were located at the rear of the property overlooking the school ground and church which proved to be delightful. This time, we were situated at the front of the hotel, overlooking Stewart Lane, still a lovely location. We noticed, however, that there was some noise from the street, sometimes into the wee small hours, which often woke us in the night. When we looked out the windows, we found that there were often people gathering at the bend in the road immediately outside. A heavy sleeper wouldn't notice but if you're a light sleeper, like me, ear plugs might help. A few comfier chairs would be nice near the pool. Despite these minor blips, the hotel is beautiful and we will be back.

This a totally unique experience. It is inadequate to call Seven Terraces a 'hotel'. It is so much more. It is really a trip into the past, to experience a sample of Penang Nyonya culture, but with all the modern conveniences we need for our comfort nowadays. All the furnishings, the layout, the design, everything shows great care and attention to detail, recreating a space that truly feels unique and authentic. The evening dinner in the Kebaya restaurant was equally amazing. The choice of food on the menu and the methods of preparation were truly tempting and really delicious. I can recommend the Satay starter, also the Rendang Croque Monsieur. For the main course, the Prawn Geng was delicious, and the Hong Bak Lamb shank was 'melt in the mouth'. The grilled eggplant was my favourite vegetable. They offered a 'side dish' of Soft Shell Crab which we tried. We all thought it was the best dish of all, and deserving of more than just 'side dish' status! The service at the meal was very good, and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. Mr.Omar at the front desk was especially accomodating to our requests. We will definitely be back in future.

WE had a little trouble getting the TV in our room to work at first, but finally figured it out. The maintenance crew are very helpful too.

The Seven Terraces is very well positioned for exploring Georgetown. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Staying here was like stepping back in time (as it has been faithfully restored), which appealed to us. The hotel restaurant is good if you want to treat yourself.

More choice for breakfast would have been appreciated. The menu offered a traditional Malaysian option, an Indian option, a Western option, pancakes and one other which I cannot remember. However, the staff were accommodating and prepared an omelette on request. It would have been nice to have some cereals and/or pastries as on option if you did not want a cooked breakfast.
