Fabulous 6 night stay at Muntri Grove. We were in an upstairs room which was very spacious and felt even more so with the vaulted ceiling. The room was spotlessly clean. The pool was great to have a swim in the afternoon after we'd been out exploring. The location was so central and easy to walk everywhere. But most of all the staff were so pleasant and helpful especially Suffian who we had the most interaction with. He gave us some great restaurant recommendations. There is noise from the music bar nearby, but that has nothing to do with the hotel. We used ear plugs and they worked a treat. A really lovely converted colonial house in a great location with amazing staff. Being a smaller hotel, the staff are so much more friendly than larger hotels, in my experience, and makes for a much more enjoyable experience

Quirky oldy world cool with a fantastic shower and a bed to fix any bad back. Yeah the TV is beyond its best and the pool needs fixing up a little but somehow it just adds to the charm. The staff are both polite and helpful. You may have read about the noise from one selfish neighbour, we had so came prepared with ear plugs and slept wonderfully well.

Beautiful room, so spacious and well furnished! It was great for lounging in during the hottest part of the day, with ample space to relax and read. The four-poster bed was a special touch. Staff are incredibly friendly and the garden, though small, is pretty too. It is located within 5-10 mins walking distance to the main area, and round the corner from The Blue Mansion (which is well worth a visit). We will definitely be returning. Two things to be aware of: they don’t have breakfast onsite, but it encouraged us to get out early and try local places; and there is a small amount of noise coming from a karaoke bar. Personally, the noise didn’t bother us and was really muffled. The bed is so comfy that we slept well regardless!

Muntri Grove is ideally located in the heart of Old Town UNESCO George Town close to trendy coffee shops, restaurants and bars. The hotel is sympathetically and authentically renovated to give you a taste of historic George Town. The rooms are spacious, clean and cool and the staff attentive and interested in making your stay as enjoyable as possible. The pool area is a bonus and we used it every day of our 7 night stay. Because of its idea location there is entertainment noise from 9 pm most nights from surrounding venues however earplugs provided by the hotel solves that problem.

Excellent hidden gem of a hotel in the old town. It’s in an old building with wooden floors. The rooms are big and fitted out well. The swimming pool is proportional to the hotel but is good enough to cool off after a sweaty walk round the town. Walking distance from some good restaurants and bars. Helpful staff. There was a mystery bar that played load music till quite late but you get used to it.

Nice boutique hotel in the old city

My wife and I really liked the Muntri Grove. Curiously, it was near several hotels recommended for an event I was in George Town for but was not included despite being more affordable and equal if not superior to the ones that were! We were greeted warmly by a friendly staff member and shown our lovely room, that was spacious and had a number of unique touches. I liked the high ceiling and ceiling fan. There is a small pool that we made good use of. And on the weekend, there was a complimentary “high tea” poolside with pastries. The only downside for some visitors — and I had noticed this in other reviews — was that a nearby club plays live music until late at night. It didn’t disturb me much, but one night my wife said she had a little trouble falling asleep. But we would stay at the Muntri Grove again.

What a beautiful property and experience. The reception desk particularly Sufian were incredibly helpful giving us recommendations to eat and see. The room was amazing and facilities were great. However what let this hotel down was the neighbouring clubs that played loud music till 1am and till 3am in the weekend. I hope the local government will help the local hotels as these 2 clubs impact all the hotels in the vicinity not just Muntri Grove.

A stunning property. From the high ceilings, beautiful woodwork and antiques to the rooftop pool. A small and intimate hotel with lovely staff. Tucked down a small roadway, it's right in the heart of the action and secluded at the same time. Great location! When arriving by ferry, it isn't very far to walk on the map, however, the traffic and crowded sidewalks would make the wheelie bag treck very hard in the heat. We decided on a taxi. Taxi driver told us it's a standard 20 for any trip. There is a free bus you can take from the ferry (CAT bus) which does a loop of the city and stops at stop 7, one short block from the hotel. Beware it gets very crowded. If you have data, of course use Grab. 24 hr convenience store close on the main road. As with most in Asia, the bed is extremely firm.

Muntri Grove is a heritage gem ideally located for exploring the built fabric and tantalising dining options of central George Town. The rooms are very generously sized and well equipped for a comfortable stay. The staff were exceptional, making us feel very welcome and promptly dealing with every request for advice and assistance. After nine thoroughly enjoyable days spent with Muntri Grove as my Penang base I couldn't be more pleased with my choice of accommodation.

We loved Muntri grove! The perfect Penang vibe. Rooms were nice and cool in the hot weather. It felt authentic to be in this type of colonial building, but add a beautiful pool! The staff were able to answer all questions. Lots of local food around. Everything is very clean! There is a kitchen area by the pool area but no food was served except a quick Saturday tea time. You will hear local karaoke/shows on the weekend nights FYI, but not overly loud, added to a cheerful vibe! Did not keep us from sleeping. We would definitely return here!

This is a beautiful property and the best of both worlds - it's a gorgeous well-cared for historic building, and with all the modern comforts. Plus the staff is just so kind and happy to answer any questions. I wish I stayed here longer and our lovely room was such an oasis.

Don't stay here if you're a light sleeper

Staff are very friendly but unfortunately they're located next to a venue that plays unbelievably loud and awful music until 2am. The nature of the property means sound proofing is minimal. This, coupled with the rock hard beds, meant that I checked out after my first night of exceptionally awful sleep, two nights early.
