The hotel has a feel of home with personalised, friendly staff who remember the way you like your tea served! The staff were most helpful and quick to fix the (blown) lights and with our luggage.

Amaze with the unique interior design of the room stayed, a combination between vintage and modern feels. However it located in the middle of the town.

A great alternative to a large high-end hotel!
Macalister Mansion is a really cool place to stay. Each of its only 8 rooms are unique. We stayed in room 3 which was amazing. The bar and lounge areas are quite funky. But dont expect to meet a lot of other guests given only 8 rooms in the hotel.

One of a kind
We booked is hotel because it is one if a kind which has only 8 rooms. A quite retreat/getaway for our anniversary. The facilities is great but we didn't use them much. One thing I want to touch on is the cleanliness of the room. The cushions on the chairs and carpet have stains all over. I even called the front desk about the stains and they told me they are aware of them. I was surprised that they still vacant for guest. I don't think this room should be posted for guest to stay until the room is cleaned. We stayed in Room 6.

Room nice but hotel grounds lacking
The plus for this hotel are the rooms: nicely designed, upscale, roomy and comfortable. The downside is the outdoor space : is underutilized so outdoor tables and chairs are dirty and wet long after a rain. The location is on a street with views of a political party headquarters and a group of shophouses- no Georgetown charm. With a little more effort, they could improve the landscaping. Although the hotel is rather new, signs of wear and tear visible- peeling paint outside and stained carpet inside.

Fantastic hotel though a bit far from the city
Fantastic hotel with a nice, spacious and comfortable room. The room is well-maintained and the amenities are luxurious. You get to choose from the different types of pillow provided. We booked Room #2 that has minimum photos on the internet. The room is well furnished and big. We loved the bathroom that is so pretty and spacious too, with the rain shower and tub! The room overlook the swimming pool and makes for a nice morning view!

Amazing rooms and decor, great service, great food
We spent 2 nights at the Macalister Mansion and loved it. The decor throughout the common areas is spectacular. They have a whiskey and cigar lounge with a great selection if that's your thing, but food in the restaurant is delicious and reasonably priced. We didn't get the chance to check out their fine dining option, but I'm guessing it was good too. The bar is a great place to have a drink, and the wine selection is good. Service was excellent, pool was nice, room was delightful, and mini bar was complimentary, what more can you ask for?

The Best hotel in Penang !!
This is a very Chic 8 suite boutique hotel which has the coolest and chic decorations of all the hotels in Penang. The bar area reminded me of Sketch's in London with all the quirky decor items. It is the most expensive hotel in Penang but well worth it for the experience!! The cafe is an excellent place to spend the lazy afternoon with some tea/coffee and the tasty pastries. And of course the fine dining restaurant is the place to go to impress your guests in Penang with its chic decor and expensive set menus and fine wines.

10/10 Exceptional

Macalister Mansion lives up to its reputation of being a beautiful hotel. With only 8 rooms, you will have an exclusive personalised experience. The only points I think is worth being mindful are: (a) the location of the hotel is a bit further out of the UNESCO site (b) the hotel has a proper restaurant, and breakfast is served there. If you like hotel buffets, this might not be your cup of tea.
