    As others have mentioned, the rooms don't have good sound proofing, so be sure to pack some ear plugs. A small price to pay though as the pros outweigh the cons

    What a beautiful hotel with so much charm and character. Loved staying at Moon Tree. The owner and staff are quite welcoming. The location and value for money are fantastic. The little cafe at the hotel and adorable cat is a bonus.

    Many mosquitos...

    I loved the experience of staying at the MoonTree. It was definitely special. I felt that I was back in time. I'm a lover of vintage so I loved the decoration and the stairs to the upper floor. It gave a mystical sense. The location was great right next to all the restaurants and cafes but far enough from the noise.

    Kent was a very good host, I felt welcome and we had some good conversations. Moontree offers a shabby chic experience amid interesting artefacts, and 2 cats in the reception area. Close to restaurants and bars, and old Penang is walkable from here. I would stay again.

    The street was very noisy. It was hard to sleep with music going on until the very early hours of the morning. I appreciate there is little more that could be done to soundproof the room as this is a heritage building.

    A lot of atmosphere. It was a unique place to stay at.

    The room with private bathroom is actually like a very small apartment. The mattress are upstairs.

    The place is a traditional house of Georgetown, so it's charming but modest. Really close to the street food markets! Kent is nice and really helpful. He gave us a key after check out so we could have a shower before the bus and keep our luggage.

    Rooms are a bit dark, lack of natural light, but it’s an old building with a lot of character and charm.’s

    Great location, close to restaurants, and popular sites in General. Has a lot of Rustic charm, and the owner has done a fab job with decor in the common areas.

    Rustic vintage, full of interesting things, good value & vibe & comfy bed. Not for sensitive types.

    The shower/toilet combo room and edges of the room could have been cleaner, but the shower was good once you were in there. Because it has the original flooring, it takes a long time to dry off which can be awkward. The price and feel for me make up for this stuff. Some space for hanging clothes would be handy too.

    I love this place, although it is not for everyone. It has a unique, nostalgic vibe, filled with curio and you do feel like you have stepped back in time. The bed was really comfy and the bed linen was lovely. The shower itself was good heat and pressure. Lots of space in the 3 bed room and a private space surrounded by greenery. Everyone is friendly and helpful.

    A little more upkeep here and there would make this place much more comfortable

    Amazing heritage house with lots of character and lush vegetation just steps from Love Lane, Chulia Street and loads of restaurants. If you are an easygoing type who can appreciate a quaint home stay feel and the unique character of a heritage house and are not put off by sharing a somewhat rustic shower and toilet with other guests, you’ll love it.

    was not expecting it to have no fresh drinking water or kettles in room, the owner did offer us hot drinking water but we had to walk from room and use his coffee shop hot drinking water system the room had water for showers etc but lacked modern kettle and drinking water when i had researched i hadn't picked up on this and prior to staying here all my previous hotels had kettles in the room and bottled water in the rooms, there was no kettle but the owner showed us how to get the hot drinking water. would have been better if there were kettles in room it was a two minute walk from room with cups to their coffee house bar area to go and get a coffee the venue was a 1920's town house which was also a coffee shop cafe for locals, and was very quirky with lots of interesting decorations and pictures in their coffee shop and reception area, its more like a home stay and its not a modern hotel it was clean and owners and the staff that were working in the coffee house were very helpfull

    quite location
