You Le Yuen

The hosts, Jane and Peg, and the Filipino gentleman were very hospitable and helpful with directions and other information. The place is very clean, quiet and small. It has only four rooms or suites. I stayed in the Skywell Suite which has a balcony that overlooks the shop. I enjoyed sitting on the balcony In the late morning, relaxing with a book. I loved the exposed red bricks all throughout the shop and room. In fact, that was one of the reasons I chose to stay there. I soaked in the white bath tub a few times instead of taking a shower. The white Location! Location! Location! You will find a multitude of restaurants, coffee-shops, bars, convenient stores and bakeries just up the road and also on Chulia Street, a main artery in the area, a few hundred metres away.

Good location and an experience of staying in an authentic building full of character in the old town. Most places are easily walkable within 15 to 20 minutes. We had the room at the far back and it was very quiet and peaceful. I am a light sleeper and it was ideal. Jane was nice and welcoming.We would be happy to return but with lighter luggage!! Recommend for a great stay.

We had an amazing stay at Jane's place! The room was huge (2-floor suite), very comfortable, and so clean. The bathroom might be a bit small, but the shower works wonderfully! The location is excellent, just a short walk from so many restaurants, bars/cafés, and shops...as well as everything you want to see in George Town. Jane also recommended an incredible private food/cultural sites tour with her friend Lau. Definitely take it! It's worth the money. We spent 10 hours visiting markets, temples, botanical gardens, and EATING in places we would never have known about.

The house itself is a great experience : a two courtyard house with a fluid ground floor and the upstairs bedrooms . I stayed in the bedroom that opens to the two courtyards, spacious room with bathroom and a balcony , and recommend it . Great location, in the center of George Town and a walkable distance of the main interest points. Although central, it sits in a quieter part of Love Lane. Breakfast has two options : local or western (both very good) and Jane was very welcoming to accommodate any requests. Also, Jane proposed a half-day tour with Mr. Lau (great storyteller that follows one’s rhythm of the visit and accommodates timings and changes in the schedule to better fit our interests) for sightseeing and street food tasting and prepared water and a towel to take to the beach.

I recently stayed at you le yuen, beautifully preserved heritage property that truly captures the essence of history and elegance. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the grandeur of the architecture and the attention to detail in maintaining the hotel’s original charm. The staff was warm and welcoming, providing excellent service throughout my stay. The check-in process was smooth, and they were quick to offer recommendations for nearby attractions and restaurants. The heritage ambiance is truly unique—staying here felt like stepping back in time, in the best possible way. My room was beautifully furnished with antique decor, which added to the hotel’s historic charm. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the high ceilings and vintage details gave the space a luxurious feel. However, due to the nature of older buildings, there was a slight issue with noise isolation. I could hear some outside noise and the occasional sound from adjacent rooms, but it didn’t significantly detract from my overall experience. If you’re a light sleeper, I would recommend requesting a room away from the street or bringing earplugs just in case. The hotel’s location is perfect for exploring many nearby landmarks, and it was a real treat to be so close to such vibrant cultural sights. Despite the minor noise issue, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an authentic, historical experience. The charm and character of the property, combined with the attentive service, made my stay unforgettable. I would definitely return on my next visit!
