We enjoyed the entire week at Green Gates. The location was great and the building made us feel we were living during the colonial era Penang. The food in the area was great and the hotel is conveniently close to all the sites we wanted to visit in Georgetown. Ms Fazeela was an exceptional host and helped us with anything we needed. Looking forward to our next visit. The complimentary visit to the museum across the street is worth a visit as well.

The room wasn't big but very well furnished, we had everything we needed and the room was very clean. The decoration was nicely done. We arrived in the middle of the night due to flight delay but had a smooth self check in process. Stuff was nice. We couldn't ask for a better location.
