    “Exceptional”

    The hotel is a beautifully decorated, very pretty old house. It is located in the center of Georgetown, making it very convenient to visit various attractions. Each room has its own unique features. The hotel staff are very friendly and provide delicious breakfasts and afternoon desserts. I believe there is room for improvement regarding the noise from the bathroom ventilation fan and the relatively noticeable sounds of movement from the rooms above due to the wooden structure of the building.

    Dear Carol, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and excellent rating. We're delighted that you appreciated the charm of our beautifully restored heritage building, central location, and the unique character of each room. It’s also wonderful to hear that our friendly team, breakfast, and afternoon treats made your stay more enjoyable. We truly value your feedback regarding the bathroom ventilation and the sound from the upper floors. As a heritage property with original wooden structures, there are indeed some limitations, but we’re always working on improving comfort wherever possible. Warm regards, The Team at Campbell House

    “A wonderful experience at Campbell House”

    I spent a week at Campbell House and had a wonderful time there. Service was friendly and attentive. The location was perfect as well. It is 30 minutes away from the airport and a short distance away from famous spots like Penang Hill and the Gurney Drive area. Within walking distance there was also plenty of wonderful food options. The hotel breakfast was also amazing. Highly recommended!

    “The retro Nanyang style is quite nice.”

    Overall, we stayed for four days and were quite satisfied. The curtains are very blackout, and I love that the sound insulation is decent too. The interior is fine; I didn't find it noisy, although there may be some sound leakage from the door gaps. However, the guests staying were quite quiet. The only noise that might affect rest is when the downstairs restaurant closes and tidies up in the evening. The hotel breakfast, although not as plentiful for Chinese people, was still enough, as we went out every morning to try local delicacies. Every day they delivered snacks or desserts, which were fine, except for one tiramisu that wasn't made well and had a water-oil separation. Haha, not a big issue as we usually eat too much outside and often couldn't finish our food when we got back. The location is great for eating, drinking, and exploring, and we rented a car, which made parking in the area very convenient. Each night around 8-9 PM, there were usually available parking spots by the entrance. Our little baby had just learned to speak and called the owner "Auntie." I wasn't sure how to explain it; it’s actually a respectful term for elders from younger generations, a customary honorific we use, mainly in East Asian countries, similar to Mrs., Miss, Ms., etc. Overall, we were quite satisfied with our stay.

    Dear Chen, Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Campbell House and appreciated the retro Nanyang style and attention to detail, from the blackout curtains to the soundproofing. We’re glad the noise from the restaurant was only a minor inconvenience and that you enjoyed the daily treats we provided, despite the small issue with the tiramisu. It’s wonderful to hear that our location made it easy for you to explore and that parking was convenient. We also love the sweet story about your little one calling the owner “Auntie”—what a charming moment! Thank you once again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another delightful stay! Warm regards, The Team at Campbell House

    “A charming hotel that stands out for its sense of style and thoughtfulness.”

    This commercial building, over 100 years old, has been elegantly renovated while preserving the atmosphere of its past. The restaurant, spearheaded by an owner from Italy, has been selected for the Michelin Guide for three consecutive years, and guests are provided with nutmeg juice and desserts made by the restaurant in their room's refrigerator.
