It's a real wood. The Chamber's Hotel, Georgetown.

Good Day, Readers! As I am writing this post, I was waiting for ND who's having a presentation for Penang Tourism Office. I had just checked out from our room, and now just sitting in their 'lobby'. Why 'lobby'? Because it doesn't look like a real hotel lobby, more like an office reception.

We were staying at this place called The Chamber's Hotel, located at Lebuh Light, Georgetown. Exactly opposite the famous Padang Kota Lama and just next door is the Penang Trick Museum. It was our first experience staying in this hotel. Both me and ND were really into AirBnB these days, there's where we found this place. When we arrive at the location, my thought was "Oh, my. Is this some kind of a shop lot budget hotel?" There's literally a 7eleven downstairs. But then I thought again, for MYR120 per night, during the weekend and in the heart of Penang City, maybe this is the best u can get. So we went up to check ourselves in and I instantly fell in love with the interior.

Colonial. The word is Colonial. Even though it wasn't a proper hotel lobby, the cleanliness and the look of the place were really interesting. When I saw the room, it was breathtaking. Breathtaking maybe a bit exaggerated but it was really beautiful. They maintain the Colonial theme of the hotel and the building itself. All the furniture were proper, and huge too. Made from the heavy Jati wood which is quite rare now.

U may feel like you're staying in your grandmother's house except that they have wifi and astro. I have stayed in few boutique hotels before but this one is different. Very spacious compare to normal boutique hotel, properly designed and taken care of with a very reasonable price tag. There's no breakfast provided, but since I love breakfast in bed ND ordered 'the big breakfast' from the restaurant downstairs (The Chamber's Restaurant) and it was awesome!

We stayed for two nights and we were satisfied. The only downsides are there's no elevator (hahaha) and parking might be a bit of a problem.  Oh and because it's located beside a very busy road, the sound of cars and other vehicles passing by might annoyed you a little bit. The staffs are all very friendly and helpful and we will definitely consider staying here again the next time we're here. So that is it for The Chamber's Hotel experience. Will share something spicy in the next thread. See ya!
