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.
Very welcoming staff. Very large room. Bed quite comfortable. Shower has good pressure and lots of hot water.
Ideally situated for getting around on foot in the central Heritage area.
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.
