Depending on what you’re looking for in a hotel, I wouldn’t say it was very cosy. That’s not a negative and it was a very cool experience to stay in such a historic building, but it did mean we were slightly wary of breaking or knocking things over in our room, and tip-toeing around a bit!

Incredible historic setting - beautiful decor and amazing preservation. Staff were so lovely and friendly - we really enjoyed our chats with them going in and out of reception each day. Cute breakfast room in the library and the team were really flexible when we wanted to tweak our menu slightly. Beautifully quiet room and street, yet we were just a few steps away from the main streets of the town. Amazing view from our balcony. Great air con which we were very grateful for! Felt like a little oasis in the middle of the hustle. We didn’t get time to use the pool or enjoy the free afternoon tea and really wish we had!

A different soundtrack playing at breakfast would be a good idea. Heard the same half a dozen songs every morning. Unfortunately served an empty tea pot and dirty cups on one occasion at afternoon tea.

A smaller boutique hotel will always win for me over a large hotel. Seven Terraces is just the right size in a perfect location of Georgetown where everything is just a walk away. The staff were very helpful, in particular the lobby staff and a lovely young man who served us in the restaurant and a few breakfasts. Pool was great. Especially sitting alongside eating delicious sweet treats for afternoon tea. Worth visiting the restaurant onsite for dinner. Truly enjoyable.

The bed, although stunning to look at, was not comfortable to sleep on, and my back is still recovering from it.

This is a unique property where the decor and aesthetics of the regions history surround you in every corner of the hotel and room. It is full of character and style. The staff are warm, friendly and willing to assist with any directions and needs. The area is full of great coffee houses and interesting shops. The accommodation restaurant Sebaya is a must.

The wifi is not great and kept dropping off

The building itself was beautiful. The rooms were so thoughtfully laid out with exceptional furnishing. The staff were attentive but low key. It is just a gorgeous hotel.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again if in Penang. Only thing that wasn't clear when we checked in was if they have lunch options at the hotel. Did not really matter much as we were out everyday.

Absolutely lovely experience. The hotel is a beautiful heritage property that has been superbly renovated. Rooms are super spacious and the facilities are lovely for this type of boutique hotel. They have a lovely fine dining restaurant that opens for dinners and their breakfast is also very good. Lovely small pool with an outdoor cafe seating next to it and great location in Gerogetown. We pretty much walked from the hotel to most cafe's, sights and restaurants around the area.

Great boutique hotel in heritage site. The breakfast and restaurant are excellent. We had a duplex room and the stairs were vertiginous!

We used to live in Penang 8 years ago and stayed at Seven Terraces for a staycation, finding it really impressive. We also visited the restaurant and bar on numerous occasions, both of which were excellent. When we were planning a trip back to south east Asia, a part of the reason we included Penang in the itinerary was so we could stay at Seven Terraces again. We were delighted that it was even better than we had remembered! The building itself is absolutely astonishing, especially when you consider the derelict state it used to be in. They have done the most fantastic job, creating a calm, beautiful space right in the heart of Georgetown, decorated with stunning antique local furniture. The rooms are huge, beautifully furnished and have everything you could need. The Chinese four poster bed was comfortable and enormous. The bathroom was lavish, probably one of the nicest I’ve ever been in and almost ridiculously large. We had a separate living room on a mezzanine which was a lovely place to relax after a busy day eating the excellent food in Georgetown. The pool area is a real bonus. Even though the hotel is in the heart of Georgetown, it was very quiet and the plants and fountain made it feel quite serene. A free afternoon tea is served here, which is a lovely touch, where you can try local sweets. Delicious. The staff are excellent. Everything is immaculate, fast and professional but friendly. For example, we asked for some ice to be brought to our room and it arrived in what felt like 30 seconds! As mentioned, the hotel is very well located. Georgetown isn’t exactly massive, but from Seven Terraces, you are walking distance to all the beautiful sites it has to offer. Penang has some of the best food in the world and from the hotel you are no more than 10 mins from everything from a Michelin starred restaurant to a stall selling the most delicious street food you can imagine for pennies. Seven Terraces is literally the best hotel I have ever stayed at!

This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in and was one of the highlights of my trip around Malaysia. The hotel and rooms are much more beautiful than the pictures suggest, and they're pretty good! The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was fantastic and the roof terrace was perfect for a coffee in the morning; these are traditional rooms, so are not light-filled, but you can just open the shutters for more light. Staff were lovely and the hotel served the best breakfast that I had during the whole month of travelling (you have to try the roti paratha); dinner in the restaurant was also delicious and it was really special to have traditional music played during the meal. Don't bother with the Blue Hotel, this place is much better!

The beds were a little stiff/hard for our liking, but not too bad.

The room was beautiful, and the location was excellent for us.

The pool has no bar besides it. Would be even more nice to spend time by it sipping something cool and refreshing

The bathroom solution in a wide balcony - superb. Room was very spatious.

The hotel is converted from old house and has a charming, tranquil, and peaceful atmosphere. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful.

Nothing to dislike

The hotel is stunningly beautiful, kitted out with antique furniture. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Georgetown. Finally the food is incredible, breakfast is delicious as is dinner at the restaurant which is actually on the Michelin guide. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Frankly I would say there was nothing I didn’t like.

Ah what a wonderful place. A fantastic restoration. Well placed in the centre of Georgetown wher you can walk everywhere.A real treat. Not only was the hotel stunningly beautiful but the front desk and all the staff were so nice and ready to help. The rooms were enormous the furniture beautiful, the bathroom gigantic with such a pretty tiled floor. The pool area was a little jewel the breakfast perfect and pancakes light and fluffy, all this before I get on to the restaurant which was authentic with tasty offerings of high quality cuisine. Would I go back? Yes, yes, yes!
