Incredible, our favourite hotel this trip!
We had a wonderful time staying at Campbell House. We felt incredibly welcome, the rooms were clean and well kept and the hotel kept so much of its heritage and charm. The staff were wonderful, the terrace was lovely and the on-site restaurant is break. If we are back in Georgetown, we will definitely come back here!

Friendly boutique hotel in the heart of Georgetown
We picked Campbell House for it's location and weren't disappointed as it is a short walk from the likes of Love Lane with a great selection of bars and restaurants. Had a great time exploring the local area, spotting all the wall art/murals. Also really convenient for using Grab to get a taxi to Penang Hill and Kek Lok See temple. The rooms are stylish and comfortable (we were in the Loft, a duplex room) and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Added bonus having a fantastic, authentic Italian restaurant on-site which is where you have breakfast. So good we ate there twice in the evening over the course of our 4 night stay. Highly recommend if you want to be in the midst of Georgetown

A luxury gem in a great location
Our stay at Campbell House was wonderful, and we couldn't recommend this hotel more highly. The whole team were amazing at their roles, but Kumar was a star, making us feel immediately welcome and also recommending great sights and eateries for us. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and immerses guests in history whilst keeping all modern amenities. The daily desserts and welcome beverages were an especially appreciated touch. We really appreciated the no shoes policy, as it helped us to feel comfortable and assured us that the rooms were clean and well cared for. We also appreciated how seamlessly the hotel managed with Penang authority water maintenance works - we had everything we needed and didn't deal with any disturbances. We look forward to visiting again, and have already recommended the hotel to friends and family.

A delightful stay in the heart of old town. Each room is a unique individual creation with vintage furnishings. The breakfast is amazing and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Everyday the chef creates a special desert and delivers it to each of the twelve boutique rooms. A must stay if you are going to Georgetown, Malaysia.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hotel was in a great location and really beautifully renovated with historic charm. Staff could not have been more helpful - from recommending activities to restaurants and helping us with any small queries! We also dined in the restaurant and the Italian food was excellent also.

Beautiful boutique hotel
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful and cozy hotel. The staff is phenomenal and each person made us feel welcomed. The breakfast was delicious giving us the energy we needed for long days of touring the city. A special treat was coming back and having a dessert left in the fridge for us to enjoy before settling in for the night. And we got so many wonderful recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants to check out. This place is truly a gem and I’d be thrilled to have a second stay on our next trip to Penang!

Nice hotel with a lot of charm. Well located, in walking distance of everything interesting in Georgetown.
The rooms are big with nice furnitures. Sound isolation is not super good but can be managed with ear plugs.
Breakfast is not really a plus. Food choice is limited and you can eat great local breakfast arround the hotel. We didn’t try the restaurant for supper.

Hotel location is FOODIE’S dream.
Location is EXCELLENT for foodies to Penang! Lots of great food choices within short walking distance or even on the same block. Many Michelin mentioned food stalls and restaurants near by. This hotel is a 100+ year old home turned into boutique hotel that services like a normal hotel. If you like history and antiques this would be heaven for you.
Showers and beds are excellent. Daily afternoon treat and freshment drink to your room!
We are avid travelers who are fairly picky and we would recommend this hotel to our friends.

An oasis of calm in the storm of Georgetown. A wonderfully restored building that shows how a small hotel should be run, such attentive and friendly people who cannot do enough for you. Thank you for our time with you and you help and service.

Sadly a little disappointed
The good: the staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast, the overall ambiance and condition (beautiful restoration of the building), free cake every day was a lovely touch.
The less good: standard room is smaller than expected and lacks charm (bed is also only a small double), wooden floors look good but are very slippery (you have to take off your shoes downstairs) and the rugs on top slide so much as to be dangerous.
The bad: we were clearly unlucky, but our air conditioning would not get cold, an attempt to fix it managed only a slight improvement, sleeping so badly in the heat left us groggy every morning and unable to enjoy the breakfast. Lovely staff tried to help, but it was out of their control.
Such a shame.

Unique property as each room has a different theme. I particularly enjoy the overall Nyonya, Peranakan vibes to the hotel. It was by the road but not noisy. Convenient location to explore Georgetown as well, walkable to many places.
