Ren i Tang

The room was spacious and the bed was so comfortable! The staff and owner were both so nice and helpful! I like how eco-friendly they are without causing any trouble! They folded the recycled newspaper to make bags for the trash can instead of using plastic bags, and they used glass bottles for drinking water instead of disposable plastic bottled water, and the water was refilled the next morning after breakfast! The breakfast main dish was different each day, we had roti prata (印度烤餅) and char quay teow (炒粿條) fresh from kitchen and stall next door. You can have breakfast at their bistro before they open, and you'll have the breakfast with bouquets of sunshine showering in to the space to reach you. I also like the historical vibe. Imagine people came to this building to purchase traditional Chinese herb and things more than 100 years ago and you're existing in the same space. What an extraordinary experience! I strongly recommend this place!

It was in Little India, and I stayed during Deepavali so it was a bit noisy, and it was a bit difficult for the grab car to come in. But that was the ONLY thing I don't really like!

My family of 4 (including two kids: 5 and 4 years) just returned home from a long weekend in George Town and we were so happy with our lodging choice! We were in the Family Room (#2) and really enjoyed it! Do note that the double bed is in it's own room while the two single beds are in what I'd call the main room. We ended up putting the kids in the double bed and my husband and I each took a single. This allowed us a little more space to hang out once the kids went to sleep. The staff at Ren I Tang are FANTASTIC - very tolerant of kids making themselves at home - in fact my daughter didn't want to leave before she could say goodbye. The owners and staff are committed to an environmentally sustainable space and that can be seen in the small details: no plastic straws, reusable glass water bottles, folded paper trash liners, etc. Breakfast is included and for us consisted of great coffee, eggs and pancakes. The lunch/dinner offerings at the cafe were an excellent surprise! I hadn't read much about the cafe but it was wonderful - the fresh produce was on point. Located right in the middle of Little India, it's a super jumping off point for wandering the area: street art, jettys, awesome food, etc. If you're after a unique place to eat and rest your head, this is the place to do it!

I wouldn't change a thing.

It was staying a piece of history from a bygone age. A lovely hotel!

The hotel is in a beautiful old building and the renovations are done sensitive. The downstairs cafe where breakfast is served is nicely made too. My room was giant, yet cosy. The shampoo was wonderful too. The staff i interacted with was very friendly and helpful. I really love their water bottle system to refill provided glass bottles to save platic. I would definitely come back to stay there!!

I liked everything but one suggestion: While glass water bottles are provided ( which I admired and rare in hotels) still mini plastic jam and butter packs are served at breakfast. Consider putting a glass of jam for people to spoon on their plates and buy a coffee machine without capsules to save on more plastic?

Great old refurbished and preserved building - perfectly done with a lot of love for detail and a sustainable approach to run a hotel. Drinking water was provided for free and could be refilled and the provided glass bottles ex. It has got a great calming atmosphere, like a little oasis right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of George Town. Comfy beds with crisp clean bedding - loved it... Breakfast was simple but tasty with nice coffee and fresh local fruit served in the very relaxed Ren I Tang bistro. We really enjoyed our stay there.
