I had a lovely stay at Magpie Heritage, a true hideaway in the heart of George Town. The location was perfect for exploring the heritage zone, and while the decor blended modernity with historical charm, I did notice the wooden floors could get a bit noisy. Overall, with its spacious rooms and attentive service, I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and authentic experience in Penang.
