I was pleasantly surprise to arrive at the hotel as my wife was involved with making the reservation. We stay there for our friends' wedding ceremony and festivities. The hotel was extremely charming with the decors. It is a very unique boutique hotel I have ever stayed in. As a photography enthusiast like I am, I was lost in the... More

It was quite a shock coming to the "Blue Mansion" from a super modern hotel in Singapore! It is an old and surprisingly comfortable hotel with a lot of atmosphere and a very good service. There is no pool at the "Blue Mansion" and one day, Daniel, at the reception, helped us to get access to the pool of a... More

This unique and charming building was built by an eccentric Chinese tycoon and it carries a tremendous sense of nostalgia and architectural wonder within it's walls. Today it's a lovely and quiet boutique hotel with only 16 rooms. On arrival to Penang the hotel had arranged airport transfer for us and we were quickly on our way. We had not... More

A charming old Peranakan Mansion, lovingly restored. It does not have all of the conveniences of a modern hotel (read lift), but you can stay at the same generic modern box anywhere in the world. The rooms are air conditioned. A blessing here in Penang. This is unique and charming.

It would be easy for the staff at the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion to take guests a bit for granted, after all this is one of the best addresses to stay at Georgetown. Not a bit of it though. They were delightful. There is a great attention to detail as you step back in time to enjoy a very fine... More

This wonderful mansion made our holiday truly special. Our daughter, 10 years old, said it was like being in a film!!! We loved everything from breakfast to the amazing friendly but on the same time very professional service. Poh was just the most interesting and super duper guide! so much fun and so very "non-politically" correct in the best sense... More

I stayed here for a few nights in late February 2013. It was like walking into a bit of history. The building has been lovingly restored but still has a patina of age - a few cracks and blemishes which for me added to its charm. My room was airy and bright, with a large bed and excellent bathroom, and... More

We just happened to walk past this mansion and thought it was beautiful enough that we'd come back for the tour. When we discovered it was also a hotel we immediately booked a night there. This mansion has been beautifully restored and staying there is a real experience. If you are looking for more than a bed and a shower... More

I feel fortunate to have enjoyed this veritable Blue Mansion in its faithfully restored, rustic state. I felt the owners should be congratulated for their priority to honour the heritage rather than a more commercial interest. There is an illuminating guided tour ( in my case by the feisty and fun Joann) which should not be missed. As you soak... More

The mansion is beautifully restored. The staff are good, but it's all so tired. Holes in bathroom ceilings and toilets that don't work don't give the best impression. Walls need painting. It appears 2 cats are also residents of the hotel, and their toilet habits of using paying residents rooms is poor. The breakfast was pretty good. Until the proposed... More
