Loved our stay here! The rooms were very spacious and air conditioned. We loved that it’s in a restored house. The pool was very nice to have as well in the Georgetown heat!

If you want something unique and a bit of Malaysia’s past, this property is a great choice. Not a typical hotel room, the property is full of charm and character. I loved the romantic decor of the room, tropical and airy. Its good location and super friendly staff are very helpful.

Muntri Grove is an absolute gem in George Town.
The location is brilliant, the staff and service are excellent, and the rooms are enormous, beautifully kept and full of character. It feels like somewhere you've actually travelled to stay, rather than another generic hotel room that could be anywhere in the world.
The pool is an absolute treat after a long, hot day exploring Penang. Even better, there are free icy poles by the pool, which may sound like a small thing until you've spent the day walking around George Town in Malaysian heat. Then they're basically a five-star amenity.
I'd also take some of the reviews complaining about nearby live music with a grain of salt. I really didn't find it particularly loud, and you're staying in a fantastic, lively part of George Town. My solution was to wander out, listen to some genuinely great bands and have a few beers. Problem solved.
If I had to find a complaint, it's also somehow a compliment. I love that Muntri Grove provides kimonos instead of boring hotel robes, and proper sandals/thongs instead of those terrible disposable slippers.
Sadly, the sandals and my European male-sized feet were never destined to be friends. 😂
Fantastic hotel, wonderful staff, huge rooms, loads of character and a location that makes exploring George Town incredibly easy. I'd happily stay here again.

I LOVE this hotel!
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.

Muntri Grove is ideally located in the heart of Old Town UNESCO George Town close to trendy coffee shops, restaurants and bars. The hotel is sympathetically and authentically renovated to give you a taste of historic George Town. The rooms are spacious, clean and cool and the staff attentive and interested in making your stay as enjoyable as possible. The pool area is a bonus and we used it every day of our 7 night stay. Because of its idea location there is entertainment noise from 9 pm most nights from surrounding venues however earplugs provided by the hotel solves that problem.

Quirky oldy world cool with a fantastic shower and a bed to fix any bad back. Yeah the TV is beyond its best and the pool needs fixing up a little but somehow it just adds to the charm.
The staff are both polite and helpful.
You may have read about the noise from one selfish neighbour, we had so came prepared with ear plugs and slept wonderfully well.

Excellent hidden gem of a hotel in the old town. It’s in an old building with wooden floors. The rooms are big and fitted out well. The swimming pool is proportional to the hotel but is good enough to cool off after a sweaty walk round the town. Walking distance from some good restaurants and bars. Helpful staff. There was a mystery bar that played load music till quite late but you get used to it.

Perfect stay, even better service
Muntri Grove was the perfect base for our few days in George Town. The room was beautiful and the complimentary afternoon tea by the swimming pool was a lovely surprise. Special mention for her service has to go to Joyce, always smiling and for providing advice for our onward travels!
