We spent 3 nights in Penang. Wonderful town with plenty of good food and warm locals. The Straits Collection was recommended to me by a friend who is a local. Therefore I had no qualms about booking this property. Location wise we had no complaints because it was in the middle of Georgetown. With the price that we paid, we... More

We spent a night in Penang, initially wanted to lookout for street food in Penang! Found this old charm and we had a wonderful pleasant stay for the weekend! Staff was very Friendly and we received Complimentary Welcome Drink at China House! Its totally a different experience. To those who appreciate old antiquity, this place is highly recommended!

Georgetown is a wonderful place. A beautiful old colonial town, with lots of British and Chinese influences. And lots of colorful two storage houses. We loved it, especially the Chinese kongsis and their temples. And the street markets and the food courts and the places of worship (buddhist, islamic and hindu). We loved about all of it. But were to... More

We stayed here for my partner's birthday and the very kind staff helped make it a special day. The property itself is wonderfully unique with lovely furnishing.We also ate at the nearby sister China House for a meal, which was fantastic. Would stay again.

The stairs are very steep which makes carrying luggage up very difficult.The main bedroom is at the front of the building and with the shutters the room can not... More

This is in its way one of the best hotels in the world. Sensitively but boldly restored traditional shophouses, which create a feeling of having your own private place to come back to. The Meditarranean fusion restaurant is excellent too and makes a nice change from all the street food you feel obliged to sample, all the thick curries and... More

Spent 3 nights at Straits Collection last weekend while in Penang for a wedding. Brought my boyfriend who had never been to Penang. We wanted to experience the Heritage side of Penang as opposed to the Batu Feringghi area. I spent my summers in Penang and have been back many times over the years but saw a completely different side... More

We stayed in house no.93 during our visit in early June this year. First, the location was unbeatable, right in the heritage zone, short walking distance to most of the heritage sites and some of the most famous food streets in Georgetown. The place itself was great as well, we had the entire house to ourselves, both the living room... More
