Book now!
You are not regret choosing this little oasis in the middle of Georgetown. Love lane is where all the good food is right adjacent and it’s great walkable to everywhere. Lovingly restored and nice, soft beds and great pillows.

Fantastic stay!
Incredible stay. The hotel structure itself is beautiful and the ambiance is very inviting. The room was spacious comfortable rooms. Location is prime walking distance to all the hot spots in Georgetown. Breakfast was thoughtful and delicious. Finally, the hotel staff, particularly Amer, are incredibly welcoming, warm, and make you feel so comfortable & safe during your stay. My only wish is that we had stayed longer!

It’s a cozy and quaint colonial style of accommodation, room is huge but the bathroom is a bit dated, needs an uplift. The staffs are very friendly, we enjoyed our stay during our short trip.

Gorgeous little heritage boutique hotel, decorated with an eclectic mix of old and modern pieces of artwork. Bedroom and bathroom were huge and the breakfast, served in their restaurant, was excellent. Staff was wonderful and always very helpful! Location was perfect!

Loving 23 Love Lane
We had a divine experience in this wonderful hotel in the heart of George Town. The owner is kind and wants the very best for your stay. The staff is attentive. The rooms are also massive and the garden is cozy and a great place to relax after exploring Penang.

This small heritage hotel is a gem! It has great character, the rooms are lovely and the staff are all friendly, helpful and made us feel right at home. In addition the artwork and antiques in the main lobby and rooms are interesting and appealing. The hotel is on Love Lane which has a great mixture of restaurants and bars within a two minute walk- but the hotel itself is quiet. If you enjoy an experience instead of a typical standard hotel, you will love this place, we will definitely stay here again if we come back to Penang!

Great service and very helpful staff. Eric at the reception is a customer service star! There was scheduled maintenance of the AC in the rooms the day we arrived, but the staff really did their best to get it done, even though it took longer than they had foreseen. Would have liked more variety of fruits for breakfast, but over all highly recommended place for a weekend in Georgetown.

Secret oasis
The property is amazing- better than the picture and far better than we expected. The old house is full of character. The owner is so house proud and whole place is decked out with interesting antique furniture and ornaments. Really feel like we were back in time but with all the necessary mod con. The stuff we’re super friendly and helpful. They really look after the place, from inside to the garden to the amazing breakfast. The best Roti Canai ever. Thanks to Anna, Amajeet and Vikram for looking after us.
