Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely love it. My 3rd stay in 3 years; took my siblings this time to celebrate a milestone and we all had a fabulous time; the staff, amenities, position just above the beach, beautiful tranquil gardens, children’s pool/ adult pool; warm sea; soft sand. Extensive menu in Spice cafe; upscale dining in ferringhi Grill; lounge cocktails and canapés, beach bar n restaurant; can’t fault anything; would’ve loved to have stayed longer; staff went over and above to make the birthday and our stay memorable; will be back; pools and sitting areas in and outside were pristine; security guards made one feel safe when wandering and enjoying the tranquillity, ambiance and peace. Thank you all."

"This is a little hidden gem in the heart of Georgetown - perfectly located for exploring and enjoying the enthralling historic city. The staff were fantastic, the room was very spacious, functional and clean - the highlight being the clever use of the legacy building and the decoration and features to match (with modern touches, including aircon). Some will find the sound of the nightlife till the small hours off-putting perhaps, and the amenities are basic although they include a lovely little pool/patio area. The lack of onsite catering is an irrelevance as there is a plethora of options right on the doorstep, with helpful advice & guidance available from reception. A really comfortable and relaxing base for a Penang adventure."

"Excellent hotel in a historic building. Amenities are great and a bit quirky (see how they bring the luggage to the upstairs rooms). Staff is very nice. The Italian hotel on premise is Michelin listed."

"A beautiful heritage terrace house in a fantastic location in George Town, within walking distance of many attractions. We stayed comfortably for two nights, with three guests each enjoying their own king bed and sharing two well-appointed bathrooms. The furniture, décor, and amenities were all thoughtfully chosen. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a vintage stay full of old-world charm"
