You are not regret choosing this little oasis in the middle of Georgetown. Love lane is where all the good food is right adjacent and it’s great walkable to everywhere. Lovingly restored and nice, soft beds and great pillows.

Incredible stay. The hotel structure itself is beautiful and the ambiance is very inviting. The room was spacious comfortable rooms. Location is prime walking distance to all the hot spots in Georgetown. Breakfast was thoughtful and delicious. Finally, the hotel staff, particularly Amer, are incredibly welcoming, warm, and make you feel so comfortable & safe during your stay. My only wish is that we had stayed longer!

We were greeted by Janet at the check-in desk. She was so friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the AC in our room. She made sure it was taken care of and also followed up on the matter. The rest of the staff were very courteous. I highly recommend Love Lane Hotel to other visitors.

Charming boutique hotel with lush greenery offering plenty of little cozy areas to relax. A little oasis in the middle of the historic town. Staff members on site, Nick, Janet, Kee and Shipun were wonderful. Breakfast was included but options were limited but the hotel is minutes away from awesome local delights. Be sure to sample the infamous Penang Char Kway Teow (flavourful fried flat noodles) and the delicious white coffee (and more)! Great location!

It’s a cozy and quaint colonial style of accommodation, room is huge but the bathroom is a bit dated, needs an uplift. The staffs are very friendly, we enjoyed our stay during our short trip.

My husband and I had an amazing stay at 23 Love Lane. We arrived hours before check-in, and the staff were incredibly accommodating, storing our luggage while we explored and preparing our room early. Set in a beautifully restored colonial-era building, the hotel blends British, Indian, and Chinese influences with antique furnishings and contemporary art. Our room was a perfect mix of mid-century modern décor, wooden floors, and a large, comfy bed. The location is ideal, within walking distance of famous street art, restaurants and night markets, Chinatown, Little India, historic jetties, and the esplanade. Though in a lively area, the hotel’s lush gardens offer a peaceful retreat, where we enjoyed reading and enjoying the company of Orange and Mac, the resident cats. Breakfast was simple yet delicious, starting with a continental spread and followed by à la carte options. A lovely touch was the complimentary 4 PM high tea, with delightful sweet and savory treats. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help, making our stay even more special. We’re so happy we chose 23 Love Lane and will definitely stay again when we return to Penang. Highly recommended!

Great service and very helpful staff. Eric at the reception is a customer service star! There was scheduled maintenance of the AC in the rooms the day we arrived, but the staff really did their best to get it done, even though it took longer than they had foreseen. Would have liked more variety of fruits for breakfast, but over all highly recommended place for a weekend in Georgetown.

The property is amazing- better than the picture and far better than we expected. The old house is full of character. The owner is so house proud and whole place is decked out with interesting antique furniture and ornaments. Really feel like we were back in time but with all the necessary mod con. The stuff we’re super friendly and helpful. They really look after the place, from inside to the garden to the amazing breakfast. The best Roti Canai ever. Thanks to Anna, Amajeet and Vikram for looking after us.
