We had an amazing experience at Yeng Keng Hotel! The hotel offers a unique charm, and the staffs and cleanliness definitely exceeded our expectations. The combination of excellent service, pristine conditions, and a superb location made our stay truly memorable. Private carpark at the backyard is complimentary, and very secure. There is guard on duty 24/7
Would return for another stay during our next visit to Penang.

This hotel has a nostalgic feel and is good for photo taking. We booked the courtyard family room so it was quite spacious and comfortable for the 2 of us. Breakfast is simple and adequate.

I stayed in Yeng Keng Hotel with my family for 3 nights. Great location, clean room, beautiful interior could feel heritage vibe at max. Staffs were super nice also. Swimming pool is not big but was enough for my family. Restaurant in hotel was also really good with nice nonya dishes with wine. Will definitely come again, thanks.

We love Yeng Keng hotel! We felt very welcomed and well looked after the moment we got off our Grab.
Staff did such excellent job and always friendly and chill. Breakfast didn't have wide variety but we always found some beautifully presented local specialty, and I must say breakfast was one of the highlights of my stay there.
The mattress was a bit too hard for me but ok for others, also be prepared to hear the morning prayers at around 6 am if you are a light sleeper.
