Palm Mansion Boutique Suites

The room was lovely spacious, clean and attractive. The renovation of the building has been completed to a high spec ensuring it meets the world heritage standards. The furniture has been made from the original wood in the building giving it a classic authentic feel. The bathroom is also lovely with a great shower. The location in the middle of little India is great with lots of food options. The hawker stalls on Chulia are just a few minutes walk away with bars nearby. You will be well looked after by JL who is the perfect host. He provides lots of information, advice and helpful leaflets on the local area and places to visit and organised our tickets for the visit to Penang Hill. JL took us to breakfast at local restaurants, so you can choose a western breakfast or more local options which we loved. All in all a perfect stay. Particular thanks to JL for his understanding and help when we had to make some last minute changes to our plans. We will be back!

There was nothing to not like

It was a delightful stay. The manager greeted us very friendly with local snacks and took his time explaining the map, recommending what places to visit and where to eat. He was super helpful. The room was great too. There is a lot of space, designed beautifully. the AC works perfectly well even when we went out. The breakfast was delicious. Every morning we ate different foods from different cultures.

The poor internet line. Limited TV channels.

Palm Mansion is very cosy and full of green plants. We were treated to a welcome drink of nutmeg juice. If you have a car, it is best to park it as close as possible, and walk around or take the Free Bus instead. Parking tickets were provided for the duration of our stay. We came across the Chulia street night stalls (another good food place nearby.) You will stay right opposite Little India with its Indian restaurants. We were treated to a complimentary breakfast meal the next morning at a restaurant nearby. Our duplex unit was upstairs, and inside there was another staircase with a single bed down and a double bed upstairs. We liked it because it offered a great view.

It was about 900 meters (15 minutes) walk away from Chowrasta Market area which is a good area for shopping for bags, clothes, shoes and many other items. For older people it might be longer than they are used to.
