Hotels in Georgetown

“Right in the heart of Georgetown..Perfect!” Value for money and the staffs were all very friendly and helpful. We stayed here for 2 nights wanting to roam about the city centre and then went up to Batu Feringgi to stay at Rasa Sayang for the remaining 2 nights just to relax and chill. I must say that after experiencing both hotels, Cititel wins hands down in terms of staff friendliness and helpfulness...

We had some issues with due to our local travel agent and in search of hotel we came here, though it was full on booking and Tripcom. They semi sustainable and do great job. They offer orange juice on check in, awesome. Bed mattress and pillows are excellent. We had no breakfast

I stayed seven nights at Cititel Hotel Penang in a Deluxe Double Room. Central location, clean rooms, comfortable bed, pillow menu, good desk chair, and helpful housekeeping. Sustainability efforts like water refill stations on each floor are a big plus. While the hotel markets itself as “Business Friendly,” the experience feels more functional than fully embodied. Small details – such as writing...

Good location. Easy access to bus and CAT. Walking distance to local market and local eating food streets. Hotel staff attitude is super friendly and courteous. Special thanks to front office staff Susanna, Nazifa, Fakhrul and Evelyn from the F&B. All of you had made our stay at citadel Hotel so comfortable and enjoyable. Dear Susanna, you go the extra mile beyond your scope of work. Good service...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Amazing Stay! Hospitality at this hotel was truly superb! From the check-in process, I was already amazed by how friendly and welcoming the staff were. The room was spotless, nothing to complain about at all. I even received complimentary drinks and desserts delivered right to my room, which was such a nice surprise. The next morning during breakfast, once again the staff were incredibly...

First time staying here. Room is spacious. Food is tasty and variety.. Great location.. very near to the many attractive places. Recommended👍

Very accomodating hotel stay. The nutmeg drink service daily at lobby is delicious.

Hotel location is excellent. Use the side road of carpark for an easy walk to Cecil Street Food Court. If you walk straight across the traffic light to Komtar, you can ride the free CAT bus (15 minute frequency). Or else take GRAB. Easy walk to 1st Avenue Mall that is connected to Prangin Mall (2nd storey). The hotel is well maintained & quiet facing as requested for our 4 night stay. It would be...

Stayed two nights with parents. Both rooms were fairly maintained, “fairly” in the sense that furnitures couldn’t close properly, stains, wear and tear visible, and old televisions with blurry displays. However, service was top notch and location was unbeatable. I hope some upgrades can be done, especially on par with the price that we paid for it. Overall I’d come back to stay again, if I see...

We were upgraded to premium lounge, which includes breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails. It's a great gesture for me as I am going through chemo therapy, the hygiene issue is top priority for me. I was truly appreciative to have a quiet and peaceful environment to have all my meals in the hotel. St. Giles has the most comfortable linens that you can find. I slept well and hope to return...

Excellent hotel with easy access to nearby malls and markets, friendly and helpful staff rendered to customers requests with full commitments and follow up. Will definitely return on my next visits

First time staying in St Giles Wembley Penang. Location in Georgetown is very convenient to visit various tourist attractions. Hotel room is spacious. Receptions, housekeeping and cafe staffs helpful and friendly. Will definitely book the hotel again next time travelling to Penang.

nice and clean room location is near to the Georgetown city

Nice hotel to stay in city area. Service is excellent. Has swimming pool, separate ladies and gentlemen jacuzzi, sauna, kids club,fitness. Room is big and clean. Air conditioning is good. Breakfast menu is good. Worth the price staying here.

The hotel and the rooms overall looks dated but clean. Staff service was at par with the usual 4/5* rating. Most of them are able to speak in English. Location is great with many local food available with ½ km and malls as well. This is the ideal location. For a holiday. The only strange thing was that housekeeping claimed they do not allow guests to borrow knives.

Ample of parking lots at multi storey parking at the back of hotel . Swimming pools for family. Sauna, jacuzzi (hot and cool) and steam room. (Separate for male and female) and children are not allowed to use these facilities. Two nicely painted tennis courts available. Cool kids room. Drink at the freezer is free to consume. Clean room with cool air con. TV a bit old and not many channels available...

Pretty old but bang for your bucks. The best hotel I've stayed in Penang so far. Great to bring elders and older adults to stay in. + Cleanliness is great + Room is huge + Heaps of Complementary drinks + Breakfast is good, worth the price. + Great location. Near gurney plaza. + Room has good sound proof - hotel is old, my shower had some issue. - room is a bit dark. - senior staffs were great but the...

Great hotel. Clean and excellent services from check in to checkout. Room requested for higher floor at 1219 is spacious, clean and excellent facilities. Love the breakfast and where else can you get free apples daily with complimentary mini bar. Location is perfect and gym facilities is great too

rooms are spacious and decorated in Peranakan accents. located next to 3 malls. famous street food within walking distance

Staying at a Club rate? Have your breakfast at the Club Lounge at the 16th floor. Much better experience than the breakfast service in 'The Islander' restaurant in the lobby.

Looking for the beach? Guests use the pool facilities at the sister property Golden Sands Resort in Batu Ferringhi. The hotel provides a free shuttle to this resort. Sign-up one day in advance!

Very nice hotel. Next to Prangin Mall and bus station. Go to the information counter and get the Rapid KL pocket map. So you can travel all over Penang Island by bus ! Cheap and easy :)

Great stay here - staff are pleasant and polite, room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was tasty, and location is conveniently beside Gurney Plaza with multiple shopping and dining options. Made a request during booking for a complimentary cake to celebrate my mum’s birthday, and they very kindly noted it down and provided one. Minor areas for improvement - made multiple calls from my room to...

I booked this hotel for my family to stay … the room is not very new but overall is ok .. just that my parents said the room can hear the noise from the corridor … but the hotel staff service are good … breakfast spread was ok …

Hotel is generally good but far out to too many places and also my suites room has lots of ants. Need more thorough cleaning

Location is excellent with 2 shopping malls nearby, room is spacious and clean. The breakfast is great with lot of varieties to choose. Staff are friendly and attentive. Happy with the stay, will be back soon.

Hotel got ice cream and water when you waiting for check in . View no so good . Hotel is nice shopping mall just beside gurney plaza & paragon . Can walk and high tea . There cafe nice and cheese cake at gurney plaza quite good

First time staying here, very comfortable room! It’s next to Gurney Plaza which made it super convenient to eat and shop here. Will come again next time

Very dirty. Need to improve a lot!

Bayview Hotel Georgetown Penang is a well-located, value-packed option with a standout rooftop dining experience—best suited for those who can overlook its dated look and occasional service hiccups. If you prioritize convenience, ambience, and space without needing modern finishes, it’s a solid choice..

All good ! For the parking it has poor visibility directional board so just keep yr eyes big 😄 for hotel itself everything it's all in well condition

Check in was a breeze. Got a nice room with a wonderful view! The staff were attentive and helpful. Would come again if ever in penang.

Large room, comfortable bed and clean. My kids enjoy swimming at the pool, fast check in and check out

Carpets in hallway TOO HOT for tropical climate! Room needed to be vacuumed DAILY. Don't forget toilet rolls!!!!!!! I didn't eat any meals at hotel, preferring to be outdoors, sightseeing, and eating street food.

This hotel has well-trained staff who are very friendly and helpful. Although it’s an old building, you get what you expect here. I especially remember one staff member named Kamaruzzaman a great guy. The hotel should give him some appreciation. overall..good..food good. staff superb

Attended a farewell dinner for our head of department, Penang GH at Berjaya Ball Room 3 days ago . Staff incharge of events Pn Rafidah n her team (Staff on duty was loy,acun,Drafi,Hilmi) done a wonderful job.food for the event was awesome.A well organised event basically. They even arranged a Family room for me which was spacious n clean. Swimming pool was clean as well. Kids loved the breakfast....

We stay in this hotel twice a year due treatment to my mom to a hospital accross the street. The room we booked mostly is family room which is have no problem at all, everything was perfect, ac running well, water heater is perfect, we just love the room. The staff also really helpfull especially Ronaldo, the one who in charge in dining room during breakfast time. Next year we will come back to this...

One of the oldest hotel in penang. Been staying there for multiple times since years ago. But now the hotel is SOOO OLD. u can feel the OLD-ness vibe and the surrounding is pretty scary like abandon building. But the staff was very nice. Mr Qamaruzzaman and all the staff was very nice and polite. The room was so so. My room was bit dusty. All in all, it was just okay. Just that i have so many memories...

Old hotel but still comfortable. Management need to improve the aesthetic of the building. Room quite neat for family even though toilet do not has bidet. Free parking as for our visit. Breakfast just decent but training staff named #Ronaldo quite hospitable and friendly. Walking distance to mall too. Overall if you don't mind old hotel, you can choose this hotel.Peace

it’s not a 4 star hotel as stated.The tv signal very poor and not in colour ,remote tv also not working. Noise from water pipe while taking bath. Swimming pool place are small. It’s a old building need to upgrade better in future ..overall 3star hotel 😬😅

Excellent overall!First of all,the room is very spacious with sea view and there are two water taps. everything needed is provided!! Secondly,the air conditioner is very good and there is nothing to complain for the bathroom which the water pressure is pretty good. Thirdly, the facility is decent,the only thing that could be improved is the air conditioner of the gym room. The breakfast is good at...

Room bed was full of hairs initially, went down to the receptionist and requested to get it clean again. Overall takes about an hour and the room is clean. At least they make it up to their mistakes I am willing to accept it.

Travel with big huge family members. Room is big. Nice floor for swimming pool n gym. Love it. Hotel lobby is nice with bar attachable. Opposite is garden n alot of facilities for children to play around. Walking distance to mall n gurney fodd court. Next to hotel can easily get beers n snacks.

Lowkey the best hotel in gurney! Spacious room, easy checkin n checkout process and good services. This is my second time here and definitely not the last. Walking distance to all the malls and food places.

Lovely and exceptional hotel. Great view of the sea. Very comfortable and clean room with 30 tv channels. Has a kitchenette with microwave oven n fridge. Great pool for kids. Will be coming back again with the family!

Very recommended to all..strategic located..the room clean..the toilet also clean.. Children can play at children room and playground..

Thanks for the birthday cake arrangements. Our bath tub is leaking and also when we checked in, bath tub has some hairs still there. Otherwise the rest is still alright

Clean room, friendly house keeping staff, good location

Spacious room with king bed. Hotel is very conveniently located next to Gurney Plaza shopping mall. There’s a sky bar on the 24th floor offering weekend live band and a view of Georgetown.

A relaxing stay and the location is tops. My go-to hotel each time I come to Penang which is often. Service at reception & the bell boys were very polite and professional. I appreciate the free buggy rides from the hotel to Gurney Plaza. There was beautiful Christmas decorations in the lobby and the buffet breakfast restaurant which lent a festive feel to the Season. This time around, the only adverse...

I’ve stayed at this hotel a few years ago. As it was an impromptu solo trip, it is the hotel I remembered for its location, being flanked by Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon. I also discovered it is within 10 minutes walk to my favourite Hokkien Mee stall at Pulau Tikus. Arrived at the hotel around 10am. So was quite pleased I was given a room way before check in time. The welcome ice cream scoop...

Love the hotel so much !!! Hotel is clean and exactly like the photo . Location is convenient highly recommend 🫶

Plenty of the shops available within walking distance. Amble Parking space for the solo traveller. Keep it up

The room was not thoroughly cleaned. There was hair on the floor.

Convenient location and a lot of food choices around the area

Overall alright. Parking is no problem. Around hotel, plenty of massage outlets and eateries. Also AEON Mall.

Location is good, only thing is the hotel basic essential like shampoo, tooth brush & etc need to request at Lobby😅

Nice hotel many times stay at this hotel. Nice & clean hotel. Friendly staff & receptionist. Strategic location👌 we stay again

Excellent cleanliness. Breakfast not bad. Good value for money.

Review of Sunway Hotel, George Town I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sunway Hotel in George Town, and I was thoroughly impressed with its prime location, making it incredibly convenient to explore the surrounding attractions. One standout feature was the spaciousness of the room, which far exceeded what you typically find in newly developed hotels. While the decor and finishing did feel...

Great location with many eatery and local products shops around. Good stay with parking

A four-star hotel should not provide towels with torn edges or bedsheets stained with blood and other unknown marks. Equally disappointing was the breakfast, which offered limited choices and lacked flavor.

Close to all the food centre and easy check-in. Overall, it was a great experience.

Helpful staff and good location. Suggest to travel by Grab for places of interest within Georgetown to avoid hassle of parking. Walls a little thin and could faintly hear noises from outside, else everything is good.

What a beautiful, historic hotel. Occupying a great position in Georgetown near the water the building has a classic facade and timeless charm. Service throughout our 3-night stay was friendly and generous. The breakfasts were great - our favourite was on the terrace in the heritage wing though Sarkies in the Victory annex had lots more choice and a great chef who made roti canai to order which was...

Beautiful hotel. I really enjoyed the grounds and sounds of the ocean at night. I stayed in the original wing and highly recommend it. There are two dining areas, the new wing feels like breakfast in a busy Cafe. The old wing feels is much quieter and relaxed with a smaller breakfast spread and a la carte options. Spacious rooms and antique furnitures with modern amenities like coffee machine. The...

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The old wing has an incredible atmosphere — polished wood floors, striped hallways and that classic old-world elegance that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into another era. We stayed in the old building and loved it. The room was spacious, beautifully styled, and even had its own doorbell inside the bedroom — such a unique detail. We also got a newspaper...

I was genuinely impressed by this hotel — it exceeded all my expectations. The room was extremely spacious, beautifully designed, and filled with historic charm. The colonial ambience gives it a character that modern hotels simply cannot replicate. The pool area is stunning, especially with the sea view. It was one of the most relaxing parts of my stay. Service was also excellent. The staff were...

Other reviews would have given u descriptions of the room and they are all true. Spacious room, excellent services & quiet environment. Complimentary Cans of soft drinks given & replenished everyday with bottles of water as well. Free parking. The only complaint is their buffet breakfast. If u stay more than a day or 2, u don’t get any changes to the menu! We stayed for 5 nights & the menu is literally...

Overall, I am satisfied. The breakfast is varied and delicious.

Actually i had stayed many times in this hotel, i very satisfied to stay in this hotel. I feel comfortable and very convenient for me!

everything is so good, right from the front desk staf up to its facilities. Super clean, ample and free parking. walking distance to eateries and shopping complexes. For muslim, they do provide praying mat nicely put in a bag. 😍

Nice hotel, good hotel, all the best & keep it up the amazing service.

Location excellent nearby a lot of cafes, street food and restaurants.

Nice location with many F&B option close by. Check in & check out was fast and efficient.

At town centre, walking distance to Komtar and a lot of good food nearby.

Sadly the hotel is closed. The location is bery strategic

I would say that location is perfect, not that much crowded. Parking is easily available. Service of the hotel is really good. They regulary clean the room. The rooms are big enough in size but, lights of the room dont function properly,and hair dryer is v slow.

THE HOTEL ROYAL PENANG is a business class hotel, one of the top 4-star hotels in this region.

Awesome hospitality and great service but the only drawback I found is that the breakfast buffet is only meant for local people and not international food itinerary so you would be forced to eat which are not cup of tea for you and very limited option for vegans which is really disappointing. Apart from this I loved the shampoo gel provided by the hostel it works amazing on hair to make it look silky...

It is an old hotel...but I can see the effort to update and improve ...however the room I got has not update the bathroom. Having said that , the bathroom was clean and satisfactory. Service was good as we accidentally wet the floor from showering and called the housekeeping. They came quite promptly and mopped up the wet floor and replaced the floor mats....breakfast was a saticfactory variety . Not...

Indian girl receptionist was not really friendly. Facilities are ok only. Two things i like about its location is that: first, its beside giant supermarket and second, its just infront of kfc.

The room is quite small, but it offers a lovely view. It's very clean, although we didn’t have enough space to store all our shopping bags. :) Mr Putasnen Nagadaran was exceptionally helpful and proactive. He made sure my early check-in request was fulfilled with a clean room ready upon arrival, and he even greeted me by name when he saw me in the corridor while he was checking other rooms. He took...

The hotel is quite small but when comparing to the price, it's reasonable.

Nice place, there are many delicious food nearby the hotel. I recommend the ice cream shop “Swatow Lane” and vegan restaurant “Coo Sweet Bun Vegetarian Restaurant”

cleanliness is good the soundproof not very good still can hear the noise from other travellers, the street vehicles and the sound of compressor. btw overall is good.

I would never stay at this hotel again unless I absolutely had no other choice. The toilet doesn’t even flush properly… it’s disgusting! At night, I could hear loud music from a stage performance outside. I specifically told the staff not to give me the last room, and yet that’s exactly what I got. On top of that, the air-conditioning compressor sounded like it was right next to my ear. How is anyone...

I booked without windows reception. Great, give me with windows 928, but aircond leaking waiting 40min no response, then go to reception they changed to 628, which is OK but the pillow to thin but the bed is ok .towel is thin for budget hotel is ok

Highly recommended, will be back again. Clean and well maintained as usual. Good stay and value for money. The breakfast was good

Regular guest at this hotel due to its excellent location close to many tourist attractions, as well as to the Ferry Terminal to the mainland. Room was spacious, clean, with tasteful decor, quiet & comfortable. Staff was friendly & attentive. Breakfast buffet spread was scrumptious.

Location wise is convenient and the hotel under renovation partially. Stayed there while their restaurant out of order and going for temporary breakfast. Overall many foreign tourist staying over there.

- Centrally located in George Town, the hotel is within walking distance to major attractions like Chew Jetty, Fort Cornwallis, and Little India. - The spacious and elegant rooms featuring colonial-style decor, large windows, and modern amenities such as air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. - The hotel offers an outdoor pool with a separate kiddie pool, jakuzi a full-service...

Good environment and service. But prefer got Pray ‘Datuk Gong’ as well 🙏🙏🙏

The staff were friendly and helpful during my stay. My room was nicely prepared and clean. I happened to meet the room maintenance lady that came the next morning. She was very friendly and nice to greet with me. I had enjoyed my time staying here and would recommend it to other people. It is a heritage hotel but is very well maintained.

We booked two rooms and had an outstanding experience at this hotel. Although both rooms were the same type (21m²), Room 1615 felt more spacious than Room 1609. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the night street food market on Lebuh Presgrave, 12 minutes to Cecil Market, and 8 minutes to the 24-hour McDonald's at Birch House. There’s also a hidden bar, Good Friend Club, less than 1...

The room is Clean and quick check in. Very spacious room. Overall it is very convenient and walking distance to the famous Weekend Market Hin Bus Depot, 888 Hokkien Mee restaurant, Good Friend Bojio is just opposite hotel for a late evening drink. Grab is very fast and efficient in Penang (my first time by flight) save a lot of my time for parking and traffic jam. Highly recommend this hotel

Excellent location with various eateries in walking distance. Free parking for travellers who drive there, just park your car and walk around to avoid busy traffic. Room was clean. Sound insulation wasn’t good enough, can hear neighbouring rooms turning on tap or people walking at corridors. Specifically love the water dispenser at each floor, convenient enough to get hot water and as an effort to...

Hotel is fine, near good night market. And easy to get bus to go everywhere. Nice, the hotel security man is very nice and helpful.

Location is great , walking distance to the famous hawkers night stall, free parking lots at building carparks, quite clean and new. Very satisfying

I was surprised at how clean and tidy my hotel room was, like a brand new hotel that opened not long ago. Not to mention the cleanliness and tidiness of the entire hotel. The staff there, both the front desk attendants and the cleaners, were very polite and smiled when talking to customers. Keep up the good work! Hopefully it will be as good as I experienced when I come back again!

Room were small, washroom fine, but with this budget all acceptable.

Cross road got a lot of hawker and very nice hotel too...

Everything is good. We arrive around 3am, just need a place to sleep n rest. Book family room, bed is comfy, aircond cold. Bathroom was ok n quite luas. My baby love it. Breakfast was good.

Very convenient, pharmacy is nearby, night market new lane just few walk distance, easy to reach.

Good for stay and nearby town area .so good for holiday and etc ,overall it good

Was good location , near top Komtar and few other Burmese Thai temples, gurney plaza, cei lia street and a lot others , easy to get around

Strategic location and close to everywhere. Many places selling food and restaurants.

Good place to stay. Just one minus, the pillow so small.

Surrounding by local food pub nearby Komtar good night life too

Good service by the staff with greeting and smiles, very friendly too. The location is great with oharmaxy and food courts nearby. However, the cleaniless part is just normal in general. The right site of the bed has a loose metal spring, which comes out and scratches my feet until bleeding. The electric plug only available at main table site which it's broken too. So if you need to.charge your phone...

Location very convenient and ample parking space. Room space is big.

Had a pleasant family stay at Red Rock Hotel! Great location on Jalan Macalister, close to Penang’s famous hawker food. Our room was spacious and clean, though a bit dated. The pool was great for the kids, and the staff were friendly. Hotel could use some renovations, but for the price, it’s a good budget-friendly option in George Town.

Received a free upgrade this time. I wonder if it was because of the last review I left here. Anyway, room is big and comes with a tub. Aircond is a bit slow to cool the room. Otherwise, the stay is overall pleasant.

Disappointing Stay – Old and Uncomfortable The hotel is quite old and in serious need of renovation. The room had a musty smell, and I suspect there were dust mites as I experienced constant itching throughout the night. Cleanliness and comfort were far below expectations. Would not recommend unless absolutely necessary.

Check in and out is smooth, room is clean but air conditioner is not cool, even setting at 16 degree. Breakfast is simple, fruits is not provided, amble of parking space. Overall is acceptable with the price range, suitable for business travellers.

I smell smoke late at night and early in the morning. It was so strong that I have to block my nose

Strategic location...free parking

the hotel was great. i was clean and atmosphere is fantastic.
