23 Love Lane Hotel

Fantastic service at this small old style heritage hotel. We had a small problem with our room which disturbed our sleep and on the second day the staff immediately tried to rectify the issue, and eventually upgraded us to another property on the same day. Wonderful!

I travel to Penang from time to time for a getaway leisure - for its food, historical buildings, and trying all kinds of lodgings. The look and facilities are by far my favourite in Georgetown — very tasteful arts, furnitures, coloured cushions, little book nook, lovely greens and garden, such crafty variety of how they use the space — you will always find your coziest spot. Not doing anything else, I just pampered myself finding my most comfy armchair and read. Before visiting, I noticed previous reviews about the hygiene — I’m not particularly allergic; I think it’s fine with this price range. However compared to my next lodging, there was room to slightly improve indeed. The bathroom, floors, and furnitures are fine; it’s more about the dusty window panes and walls, and the air-con seems just too outdated and be placed facing your head when sleeping (strongly suggest they add a wind deflector). I treasure the mere existence of how the owner wants to run this gem. Staff all so welcoming and thoughtful too, especially the 阿伯 uncle and a young guy at breakfast shift.

Very cosy and authentic place !
