Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall.

Lovely heritage inn, right in the heart of Little India, steps away from all attractions in the centre. And huge bonus is the bistro, super breakfast but also open for meals at other times. .

Excellent location (right in the heart of Georgetown).. Howie and Amith were super amazing hosts. Howie is very friendly and was always there to accompany the guests. He took us to the arts fair and to the Gurdwara. He further suggested the attractions. I am absolutely impressed by his personality. He is compassionate and kind. Spotless clean and spacious room. Walking distance to major attractions and eateries. Ah I almost missed the cats. They make the place so special. I can go on writing 100 pages about Howie and the hostel. I can't describe everything in words.

    The only positive side to our stay was that the unit was clean, the pool though not particularly great was still refreshing and it was close to the train station and the Carnival Mall. The place was also relatively quiet.

    Waze : Eik Sing Machinery...go straight pass thru this place. You wld reach the homestay building. The security guards & host were very helpful & friendly, they wld help you. New building with not many occupancy yet hence v took the opportunity to park ground floor as v drove a long car. Everything were great. Simple homestay with very basic needs. Appreciate IKEA things from sofa to fork & spoon. A lot of eatery around..check out the sungai dua food stalls..cheap & local food taste great.

    Great location! The host is super helpful and prompt response when we have an issue with the stay. The host is definitely one of the most helpful one I have ever met and the main reason why I still give a good reviews as conclusion. The security guard is very nice and helpful which kinda surprised me as it was different from what I saw in the previous reviews. The view is really nice from the room, and the room is really value for the second room I get, room is big and even have 2 bathroom in the unit.

    Great location if you arrive by train. The proximity to the Butterworth train station allowed me to get there within 5 minutes of getting a Grab. There is a supermarket just next to the accommodation and an eatery just across the road. The host was very prompt in responding to our requests. Views were great!
