Charming boutique hotel with lush greenery offering plenty of little cozy areas to relax. A little oasis in the middle of the historic town. Staff members on site, Nick, Janet, Kee and Shipun were wonderful. Breakfast was included but options were limited but the hotel is minutes away from awesome local delights. Be sure to sample the infamous Penang Char Kway Teow (flavourful fried flat noodles) and the delicious white coffee (and more)! Great location!

It’s a cozy and quaint colonial style of accommodation, room is huge but the bathroom is a bit dated, needs an uplift. The staffs are very friendly, we enjoyed our stay during our short trip.

This small heritage hotel is a gem! It has great character, the rooms are lovely and the staff are all friendly, helpful and made us feel right at home. In addition the artwork and antiques in the main lobby and rooms are interesting and appealing. The hotel is on Love Lane which has a great mixture of restaurants and bars within a two minute walk- but the hotel itself is quiet. If you enjoy an experience instead of a typical standard hotel, you will love this place, we will definitely stay here again if we come back to Penang!

We had a divine experience in this wonderful hotel in the heart of George Town. The owner is kind and wants the very best for your stay. The staff is attentive. The rooms are also massive and the garden is cozy and a great place to relax after exploring Penang.

Secret oasis
The property is amazing- better than the picture and far better than we expected. The old house is full of character. The owner is so house proud and whole place is decked out with interesting antique furniture and ornaments. Really feel like we were back in time but with all the necessary mod con. The stuff we’re super friendly and helpful. They really look after the place, from inside to the garden to the amazing breakfast. The best Roti Canai ever. Thanks to Anna, Amajeet and Vikram for looking after us.

A hotel worth to stay
What a Lovely place! Welcoming concierge, helpful room service, zero disturb from outside traffic as the building is a little bit set back from the lane. Well furnish with taste and art sense. Historical documents and antiques are well display in public area. It is a place that Architecture/ Interior design lover must stay. Fruits are free to take in the lobby:)

Wonderful stay at 23 LoveLane. Staffs were friendly and yet able to give us the space despite the not-so-big premise. The outdoor garden was nice to laze around. Buffet breakfast and afternoon tea was a nice touch, homely style. We should have called ahead to check as during our visit, some renovation/painting work were being carried out and triggered my wife's sinus.
