“The East Indies Mansion is a magical place that transports you to a different world the moment you step inside! The hotel is like no other in town! First off, the mansion's history is extremely significant in Georgetown's history as it was the home of the first Chinese Kapitan of Penang. There is something very special about this mansion that keeps me coming back every year. This time I brought my entire family and the hotel had a nice crib for our baby and provided us with all the guidance for directions around town, arrangements for trishaws and excellent restaurant recommendations. They also know some amazing UNESCO heritage guides if you require one to show you around town. Finally, laundry service is very convenient. If you give them your clothes in the morning, you get it back by the evening time. The hotel makes everything easy for a traveler who wants to focus on making the most of their time in Penang. The combination of the heritage feeling and the warm and friendly staff makes the East Indies truly feel like your own home. Really appreciated the tea time at 4pm each day which was also a great way to meet other guests and share our experiences. Location is excellent. Walking distance from all of the major historic sites. Peranakan Mansion (who's owner Chung Keng Quee was the second owner of the East Indies Mansion before building the Peranakan Mansion) is one block away, the famous Chinese Guan Yin temple is down the street, the Cornwallis Fort is three blocks way, the Esplanade is four blocks away, the Clan Jetties are five blocks away and Little India with all its amazing sights and sounds and amazing restaurants all around you! There is also a fun street fair each Sunday morning on Beach Street just outside of the hotel that is fun to bring your family to . A big thank you to all the amazing staff at EIM! So caring and so attentive to all our needs!”
