Some reviews
* The Rough Guide, Malaysia, 5th edition, 2006
"Set in a beautifully restored Peranakan shophouse, this is one of the best value options in town. Rooms are decorated in a contemporary style and make good use of space."
* Lonely Planet, Malaysia and Singapore travel guide 2007
"Chinatown has some fine buildings and Hotel Puri is one of them. This elegant creation is a superb renovated Peranakan manor house, its elaborate lobby decked out with beautiful old cane and inlaid furniture, and opening into a gorgeous courtyard garden (both wi-fi areas)."
* DK Eyewitness Travel, Malaysia, 2008
"Built in the 1870s, this traditional Baba Nonya townhouse has been carefully restored and retains its original features such as the elaborate stucco facade and mosaic-tiled floors. The rooms are pleasant and comfortable, while the suites are more stylishly designed."
