This place is excellent! I can't say enough good things about it. I had the pstairs straits-eclectic room, and it was beautiful. Very spacious, great decor, excellent facilities. The staff are very helpful. Excellent location too. More

We (4 adults) stayed in Anglo-Indian Grand Room & Petite Room for 2 nights, and we wished we could stay longer because the place is fantastic! Felt like staying at a friend's house - an old mansion with an annex which was originally a horse stable, transformed into an elegant 10-room boutique hotel. We couldn't stop taking photos at every... More

We stayed at 23 Love Lane for 2 nights. We were initially considering the Muntri Mews based on tripadvisor reviews but after further research we came across 23 Love Lane on Agoda and booked it last minute. We certainly did not regret it. It is located right in the centre of town so very close to all amenities and tourist... More

This heritage house has only 8 rooms. Each is spacious and well decorated with art works. The rooms are very clean and the beds are very comfortable. The hotel has a lovely garden and the lobby area is filled with art and antiques. I would rate this hotel above the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion for its more pleasant surroundings and... More

We heard about this "new" hotel from an architect friend who was involved with the reconstruction works and was eager to check it out. There is a proliferation of boutique heritage hotels within the protected zone of Georgetown (usually restored shophouses) and conservation aficionados truly have plenty to choose from. What probably sets 23 Love Lane apart is that it... More

This hotel completes the old Penang experience. Located in the heart of the UNESCO protected area of Georgetown near to temples, clan houses and restaurants, it is la little oasis of serenity and style. The 10 rooms are quiet and individually decorated in a beautiful eclectic mix of straits Chinese and colonial British. A full breakfast is served in and... More

We booked a last minute deal on Wotif but unfortunately our booking wasn't recorded by Wotif (the problem was with Wotif, not the hotel). The staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and found an alternative room for us. The property is beautiful, the renovation is tasteful and the space has been well thought out. We stayed in a Straits... More

23 Love Lane is like no other hotel or specialty lodging that I have even stepped in. The property consist of an old mansion, servant quarters and a old indian shophouse dating as far back as 1860s. Penang being an up and coming tourist destination filled with UNESCO heritage sites, 23 Love Lane is essential to a culturally and historically... More
