Stayed with my sister and friend for two nights in the loft suite. Beautifully restored building full of old Penang charm. We all agreed the bathroom was fabulous and particularly liked the option to open the roof which was a nice touch. Beautifully furnished with a delightful balcony where breakfast is served. Street itself is pretty and perfectly located for... More

My sister and I truly enjoyed our stay for two nights at Palanquinn and its other property a few paces away, Dwell Suites, last week. The Loft room was lovely, clean, and big, and we were comfortable just staying in. The experience of staying in a heritage house enriched our Penang travel. Everyone at Palanquinn, especially Kelvyn, was really helpful... More

Just spent two nights here, in two different rooms. The loft is a lovely room. It i basically a bedroom, a living room and a huge shower/toilet area. The room on the ground floor is smaller, with an adjoining bathroom that has no doors, so it might be awkward if you are there with platonic friends. Both rooms are nice... More

From my original email enquiry through to our departure both Kelvyn & Charlie couldn't have been more helpful. Kelvyn even went out of his way to book our onward transfer & accommodation. Traveling with 2 girlfriends you're never too sure how safe you will be but we felt safe at all times. We were lucky enough to be staying in... More

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed this cozy b&b located in the quiet historic neighborhood. The house looks like it belonged to some officer or other aristocrat type during a time when the British still controlled everything. It has been redone with all modern comforts for a relaxed stay. Charlie and Kelvyn went out... More

We stayed in the upstairs apartment at Palanquinn for 3 nights in November( bit slow to get my review done!) and realy enjoyed our time there. Fancy highrise hotels are a dime-a-dozen but places like the Palanquinn are special, and added to the sense of history we enjoyed about staying in Georgetown. Having the upstairs was a good choice as... More

We booked 2 nights there in January 2012 on Asia rooms but when we got to the hotel Mr. Charlie immediately explained us that because of a system problem, our room was already given to someone... He had taken care of everything to get us a plan B at his cost, but it just wasn't what we wanted! He booked... More

My stay at the Palanquinn is one of the highlights of my visit to Malaysia and Penang. Charlie and Patricia, especially the first, went out of their way to help me, explain me anything, from the price of a taxi, to where to take a bus, give my change for it, advice me wisely where to go and what to...

We loved our stay here as the house was so beautiful and we felt so welcome by our hosts. We also had a lot space which meant our two young boys were able to sleep in a separate lounge to us at night which gave us a modicum of peace and quiet. Also, in the morning our breakfast was brought... More
