Literally a hideaway, Magpje Heritage’s front is one of the old shops in Georgetown. Location-wise it is strategic for tourists who’d like to visit the attractions in the heritage zone. For locals like us who drove, there’s public parking in front of the shophouse. Parking tickets are required on office hours for weekdays and first half of Saturday. Entering the place feels like you’ve been brought to a refurbished heritage place with a blend of the modern taste. There’s an upper floor and the ground level rooms. Due to the wooden floors, don’t expect sound proof because these were retained heritage features. Our room was spacious, decorated with pictures of the 1950s and comes with a little backyard corner. The flooring is slightly uneven, shown in the last photo. Our fridge, opened, saw leftover spoiled milk shakes spill out, and we immediately called the front desk. He’d gone out for dinner and hasn’t eaten at 9pm but he still came back to attend to us immediately. Good service! 

Hidden right in the heart of Georgetown, small, cosy outfit

I stayed in the blue room. The place has a really nice feel to it. Jeng is an amazing guy who knows a lot about Penang and doesn't mind sharing info with the house guests. He planned our 3 days in Penang and also helped us find good vegetarian restaurants in the area. Highly recommended. Keep in mind it is not a hotel with fancy reception and room service. But with the room you get an ever smiling Jeng who is ready to make your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Home away from hone.

We stayed at this charming converted shophouse and loved everything about it -- from the gigantic apartment-style suites with hardwood floors and four-poster beds; to the marvelous location just steps from Armenian and Chulia Streets; to the incredibly gracious manager, Jern. Jern did everything to make sure we were comfortable -- from making dinner reservations to picking us up at the train station to setting us up with bicycles. We give it our highest recommendation.

Wonderful Hotel in the heart of Georgetown

Before coming to location, features and amenities, let me just say, after staying in more than 100s of hotels, never have I experienced such a homely environment, where Jern will basically take care of everything. Thats the guy who runs the business. 

Stayed there 2 nights, great location, edge of the Heritage area, making it much less noisier than other places there. No breakfast though. Jern gave us info on everything we needed, places to go, the nice eateries, the best money exchange, etc. He also got our laundry done lol along with our tickets to Ipoh. 

We had the 'orange' room. had everything we need, from coffee to a reading table to an ironing board, plus a small balcony to smoke.

One more thing, every resident has a personal key card that lets you enter the main building, and so there are times when there is no one at the reception. But the hotel will be at your service through WhatsApp 24/7.

Also, though we didn't get into any trouble during our stay, the area outside does get really empty at night, as in u can hardly see a soul.

P.S. Jern, if you read this, coming to Karachi Pakistan... you are our guest.
cheers.

LOVED IT

Before arrival we were given clear instructions by Jern as well as upon entry to the hotel and room. Jern is very accommodating and nice.

Actual room is really nice and gigantic compared to the pictures in Agoda. Worth every single penny. Hotel is close to georgetown street art, malls, street food and shisha places or bars, massages and 10mins drive (if no jam) from Penang Hill.

Affordable and great place to stay in Georgetown Penang

Highly recommend this gem of a place— it’s close to everything and the rooms are BEAUTIFUL, you feel like you’re staying at your own luxurious apartment home rather than a hotel. Jern is also exceptionally accommodating and wonderful! ❤️❤️🥂

Excellent place to stay

We stayed here for a couple of nights in July with our two young kids and it was FANTASTIC! Jern was an amazing host and full of helpful information about what to see in Penang. We had a King studio with sofa bed set up in the lounge area for the kids, and the room itself was really lovely and quite spacious. You get an electronic access card to the front door so it feels very safe. The street art in only minutes walk away, so great location. We would absolutely stay here again.

A little gem in Georgetown

Good location and near to commercial mall, hidden bar and well known food in penang. Room is spacious, clean and very well design. To my surprise, the room has a little small garden to chill outside. If the hotel owner can take care of the small details like push button of the wc, basin drain plug, etc , it will improve a lots .

Comfortable and nice layout

We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Magpie! Not only was the location great and the room phenomenal, but we couldn’t have asked for a better host than Jern who sat down and took so much time to walk us through a map of the city and point out all the best local recommendations (bonus point that’s Jern is from Penang - and all his suggestions were definitely on point!!!) We has the best weekend between piles of street food and hours strolling through the cute streets and checking out street art. Thank you again for hosting us, we hope to be back someday :)

The best and most personal touches!!

This is an excellent accomodation in Georgetown. Our room (yellow) was very big, nice, clean & comfortable.
Jern is a great host, easy in communication and is willing to help you with anything. Thanks again for the lovely stay Jern!
