What a wonderful property
Saw some previous negative reviews a out this property after my booking. After checked in, all those negative reviews I read were already out of the window .
From the room to the front desk and staff, everything and everyone was so surprisingly friendly and comfortable. The location is great too. Walking distance to everything in Georgs town.
I am so glad I stayed with this property.

Relaxed and pleasant stay at Jawi P Mansion
We loved our room next to the pool. The property is well maintained and really connects to the heritage experience. Nice lap pool which we used to cool off several times. Staff are extremely pleasant and provided everything we needed. Walkable to some sights and easy pick up by Grab when we needed it. Spoke to a member of staff about breakfast and they said they hoped to bring back this option in the future. A very relaxed stay and would definitely recommend Jawi Peranakan Mansion.

The property was really well located in a smart area just on the edge of the old town which allowed us to explore areas we would have not thought to look up. The hotel is very spacious and cute, but the pool is the real gem, especially after a day exploring. Great dining close by in all directions

A beautiful, historic facility and fantastic staff that take care of all your needs. The rooms can use updating and the A/C in our 1st room was too weak (the staff moved us into another room that had better a/c) but restaurants are a short walk away and again, the staff are great.

A beautiful property close to the shuttle bus and launderette. The room was clean and has air conditioning. We were on the first floor and it was great coming back to the hotel as it is so beautiful. The staff were welcoming and professional. Would stay here again.

A very relaxing stay here. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good location but due to humidity I used ‘grab’ to get around. Beautiful old historic mansion. Highly recommend.

There was no laundry service in the premises but it is shown there is. I was hoping staff would be more attentive but they didn’t help us with the luggages to our room on the 2nd floor.

Absolutely terrible. The hotel had a party in the courtyard right outside my room. Very noisy until very late.

The rooms are large and comfortable with characterful decorations. Staff are available and able to give local information. There were water and coffee available and the pool was nice to have a cooling dip, though the poolside was not great for all day chilling out.
Super close to the town but not full of backpacker noise and hipster establishments.
The wifi in the room was weak and in an old building some noise such as heavy footsteps carries from other rooms

Stayed in the Mansion Villa. The property and room decor is quite unique. But the room itself is basically right up against the street. This means you can hear every motorbike, car and other vehicle passing by. If you are a light sleeper this room is not for you. I left after one night and checked into another hotel because I could not sleep. I'm not sure that other rooms on the property would have been much quieter. Also, there was no "do not disturb" sign, and housekeeping staff attempted to enter the room while I was inside. The room could use a bit more cleaning, especially the rugs. Location is good.

It's the first hotel that I've checked out earlier than expected because I couldn't sleep at all during my first night. The room is really spacious and rather clean. But they don't have proper pillow; the pillow was extremely thin. The aircon wasn't cooling the room enough as well, so I was perspiring. In addition, the property is beside a main road and so it's always very noisy. I think the place should have sound proof window and good pillows.
I do understand that it's an old mansion but if it is being converted to a hotel, much more should be done.

Nice 3 star hotel with big rooms for a big family. The location is within walking locations about 15 mins walk to places like Penang street, 10 mins to a nearby 7-11.
At night there is this place called Supper which serves good Taiwanese fusion nearby.
The pool was a great addition for the kids.
One bad thing is this place isn’t good for light sleepers. The mosque prayers will affect you for a short while in the morning. Rooms near the road will also be loud as cars drive pass at night. Tip: bring a air freshener or the lobby could include it as the air was abit stale especially at the lobby.
But overall it’s a good place to stay if you aren’t a light sleeper.
