"The staff is very welcoming and kind. The lobby downstairs is very comfortable to sit in for long periods. I wish they kept the snacks stocked but I guess that was minor. I really like how the place is decorated and would return if I could stay in one of their very cool private rooms. The wifi was excellent as well."

"The staff treated me as a family member. I loved my stay at Cocoa Mews. "

"I arrived to this property after midnight, but the owner welcomed me with a smile. He even prepared me a tea in the morning, explained how to explore George Town in a day (coz I was there for one day only), even help me sorted with my lost baggage issues. Would stay more days in the future trip to Penang."

"Comfortable bed. Decent hot shower. Lockers in the dorm that appeared to be secure. Unusually for a hostel, they provided shampoo and handwash in the showers and bathroom. It's rather spartan but is relaxing and enjoyable. Has most things you need. The one thing lacking was a kettle."

"My double room was very comfortable, and the fan, together with the aircon, made the space really airy and I slept very well. It could get slightly noisy at times as the room faces the main street, but it was mostly peaceful. Having to share the bathroom did not bother me much as it's right across the hallway anyway. It is right around the corner from Little India and it was so easy to get to all major attractions. Extremely good value for the price. "

"On arrival thought the place was very good, easy checkin, friendly staff, decent sized room etc. Easy walk in the evening to Chullia St Hawker Stalls for a really good meal. All over the hotel there were signs about no noise after 10pm all was fine till 3am when the noise the door banging, running up & down the very old, very noisy stairwell this went on & off till 5am. We don’t expect complete quiet in a hotel at night & do realise people are on holidays but this was the worst I’d heard in...

"Overall ok for the price . Double room (private) with shared bathroom .convenient location just that the windows were not sealed properly so it was very noisy . Comfy bed . Room was a bit dusty ..cleanliness could be improved . Friendly service from the counter staff. "

"Just an overnight stay here but my room was better than a lot of hotels I’ve paid double to stay in! Definitely stay here again if I’m in Georgetown. "

"Big bed. Safe, but no microwave onto warm food."

"comfortable place and near to mall"

"The room I get was so cool in design, I really like it"

"Incredibly friendly staff! Quick check-in and very clean room. The location was very central and near where you want to be. "

"It's a heritage building so we can feel how the history past through the years and it's really fun, but it's kinda no so soundproof, so i can hear what my next room talk about 😅😅 while mostly were so good ☺️"

"Beautiful building. Adequate everything.We were in a private room, so it might be different in the dorms, but we had no complaints. Good quality air-conditioning. Decent shower. Easy stay. Nice reception people."

"At description list have LED TV facilities , but the room in checkin don’t have any TV , felt being cheated . Anyway valued for money and located at hotspot Georgetown area"

"The shops in the mall next door was convenient. Not walkable to major attractions. Had to use Grab always."

Enchanting Stay

"Absolutely unique experience staying at this historical jewel. It felt like we were transported to more than a century ago but with contemporary amenities. The service was excellent and full of little surprises every day. This place is meant for those who appreciate wabi-sabi since it is a heritage site. Therefore, soundproofing is not great. We could hear traffic noise and nearby live band performance, and birds chirping. None of it hindered our experience staying here. However, the heavy stomping above us was slightly annoying at times. "
