Where to stay in Georgetown

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 place to stay and the staff are pretty helpful making our stay a pleasant experience. Moreover, the hotel is located in a very convenience location. Can easily walk to most of the places of interest.

The room was big & clean...the hotel just next beside monetary tower, the shopping mall also just cross a main road.

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

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.

The location is great, rather central in Georgetown and many of the food spots we wanted to visit were within walking distance from the hotel. There is also a huge mall nearby. The room was clean and serviced daily. It is located on a quiet street so there wasn't much traffic noise even though we were on a low floor.

Need an email for contact information. Some of the rooms are next to a tyre fitting shop and this can be quite disturbing if one is late waking up. Rooms have poor phone reception. Dear admin: I have an issue with what I’m sure is lying at your hotel by staff. I’m confident you weren’t fully booked out except for 2 spare rooms when I arrived, and also I’m confident you weren’t booked out of every...

With its location near popular tourist hot spots and 3 of its mall within 5 mins walking distance. If you need to do some necessities shopping, you can always head to 1st Avenue LG village grocer for it. The family room can sleep 4 comfortably with dual hard and soft pillows and king-size bedding. Clean rooms and toilets are important as well. Service from the front desk was good too. What else is...

Perfect location which is near to mall and walking distance to street Cafe, jetty and museum etc. The room, toilet is clean and comfortable. Nice cozy welcoming ambience once you step inside the lobby. Would highly recommend for the great value for short staycation. What not so good: -pillow is not so suitable for myself. -Some equipment like hanging bar drop off easily which require repair and...

We stayed for a whole week and the rooms were incredibly quiet, which was a welcome break after staying in many hostels. The amenities in the room are very plentiful! The only thing is that some of the reviews are a bit out of date. The upstairs bar is closed, the whirlpools are closed and there is no welcome drink, wine, juice, or anything of the sort(although they still have a restaurant downstairs...

The Room was clean, and we were provided with towels, bathrobes tea and coffee sashes. The room is super quiet, and we had a good sleep there. Can't spend some time in the upstairs area which were closed. The receptionists were helpful, He gave the clear idea even you ask for some idea on the location or places to visit. If you are just wanting to have sleep at night and roam around Penang for the...

Absolutely love this Hotel with the enclosed courtyard in the Perenakan style. All rooms are unique in their own way and reflect the U.N.E.S.C.O World heritage buffer zone preservation system Penang has become famous for. Great staff, and management, lovely breakfast and housekeeping. All facilities work well and the building is highly maintained. Bring some wine and a book and step back in time.

Multiple weeks spent here in May 2023. Room was a top floor spacious room with a king size bed with lots of pillows. Lots of staff serving the hotel and they were frequently cleaning the common areas while another crew cleaned the guest rooms. Everything was well maintained and kept neat and tidy. I appreciated the 24 hour front desk staffing and they all spoke English. Each room has its own temperature...

Very good service, hospitality like friends take care friends. Clean room and very convenient to access the attraction point. Applause to the gorgeous unique decoration& beautiful furniture. As it is classic doors and windows therefore they are not sound proof and you will heard a noisy chit chat in the morning. If you have a good ears ,bring ear plug could help you to wake up a little more late

everything was just amazing at this hotel. The rooms, the location and the services provided were all outstanding especially for the price. It's got a great location that's not exactly in the middle of all the busy all night bars but a short walking distance. I love the fact that the bus stop and the food options are all so close. The rooms were very nice and had a nice historical feel. The staff were...

Areca hotel was reasonably priced and had a number of great amenities. The hotel had a lift, which was really convenient for getting around the building, and the water pressure in the bathroom was excellent, making for a refreshing shower experience. One of the best things about this hotel was that they provided a complimentary tea break, which was a nice touch and really added to the overall experience...

4.5 stars! The hotel is located perfectly in Georgetown,Penang. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had breakfast included in and the pancakes were so good. The rooms were very comfortable and good ac and ceiling fan. There is a sitting area which is really nice to sit or have some famous Cendol. The only remark is the doors are not sound proof so you may hear some noise in the hall...

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.

Staff is nice and helpful but the room is quite old and the floor produced sound while stepping on.

But not suitable with guest who came with own vehicles because so hard to find parking around the hotel area. Also, during our stay aircond is not functioning in one of the room. Called the maintenance but still the problem is not fix.

Our fav hotel everytime we hit penang island. The best.. our daughter lovessss the bathtub so much. Me too.. will repeat!!!

Location is unbeatable and very charming hotel, but the overall quality match well with the price you pay.

We stayed for 3 nights here! Check-in was swift since we arrived at the hotel ~5pm. We loved the spacious room with vintage Peranakan decor. The king-bed was so comfortable. Best experience was the bathtub with jacuzzi! After a hot day touring around Penang, a long soak in the tub was very refreshing! The air-conditioner tripped on our last night 😭. Thankfully the ceiling fan was strong enough to keep...

The hotel is strategic located, clean though needs some reinstatement works. Breakfast was ok, not big spread.

Value for money (deal). Outside the old town, but only 10 minutes walking or you can rent city bikes from the street to the right if the Burma entrance. Very nice local dinner options right outside, and other entertainment, healthcare etc., but if you are in town for the old town feeling, this may not be first choice. Bad Wi-Fi, get your own sim with data. Great breakfast. Nice staff. Nice room, with...

We arrived at this 1926 Heritage Hotel and found our way around the arrival hall to get to the reception located at the side entrance to check in. Athough our room has been renewed but it still shows signs of a poorly restored job. The housekeeping staff should remove the beds to vacuum and mop the floor underneath them. The hotel certainly needs a decent refurbishment to bring it back to its heyday...

This one of a kind hotel is unique. The architecture is from the British Colonial. It's old but they are trying to keep it the way it was during it's hay days. They have done a marvelous job. The Monroe restaurant is small but they serve everything that you can imagine. As the saying goes, nice things come in small packages. Food there is of top notch. Try the Italian dish. The breakfast provided...

Cheap but the customer service is so awesome!! The vibe so warm. If the swimming pool can open from 7am -10pm, it will be the best

Environment verry Heritage & Style. Clean in overall. Swimming pool not to small but Ok for kids enjoy the pool. Easy Parking because can park near room.

The name explains that it is a heritage building n you will expect an old building. Wooden floor but comfortable. No astro & fridge for room 242. A bible in the drawer. Anyway it is worth it for us.

big room big toilet sofe bed comfort nice area no noise will come again

close to amenities surrounding , location is really prime, never thought a refurbished can be made to such a wonderful heritage ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️hotel!

Nice classic hotel with great location. Very quiet. The heritage style is the main attraction..

TV not working. Too small 16-19 inch Tv. Nice heritage villa house

Parking Provided . Everything okay

We had a pleasant stay for our 3 nights. The bed was reaaaaally comfy. The staff was friendly and the location is perfect. You can go anywhere from there. Thank you!

Wonderful stay in this hotel where l can shop till I drop in Prangin Mall, and The First Avenues which are walking distance. Jen Cafe during breakfast was very busy. The only disappointment was that vegetarian options provided are very limited.

Great hotel and the service is great, would have preferred to be placed in a better room as there was some maintenance works going on (a new bathroom being fitted) which meant there was drilling going on for 2/3 hours from mid day which was hard with a 4 month baby. The after care from the house keeping team was amazing Imah was really helpful in shipping out some left behind items and very attentive...

Pro: superb location, all within walking distance, no issue in findings place to eat. Suitable for families. great vibe. Cons: may need to update the policy rather than a blanket policy by Shangri-La (preference was ask but the options was not even available to begin with in Jen). More meticulous with customer preference and request.

This hotel is amazing. I stayed in the club family room with my staff for team building. Check-in was smooth in the club lounge, and the staff was very helpful in renting a meeting room for the seminar. It was not a smart TV, so there was no mirroring, but they helped me print out the PDF file with a printer. The cocktail hour was full of snacks and alcohol to keep me occupied. The breakfast was great...

Not the most newest hotel in Georgetown but it still holds for being situated at a convenient, secure location; just walk behind the hotel to a variety of food markets, restaurants, heritage sites and tourist spots. Can get a GRAB car within seconds. Reception was very considerate to give me a non-connecting room, away from the lifts so it’ll be quieter. Rooms are spacious and clean, and housekeeping...

The staff are extremely friendly and went above and beyond. They gave us an early check in without any fuss. Always greeting us with a warm smile. The room is clean and spacious. Bed and pillows are super comfy. Water pressure is excellent. Location wise the hotel is right next to the 1st Avenue mall and other shops. Super convenient. You have to take one flight of stairs from the parking to check...

Overall okay. Near with queensbay mall. Toilet a bit dirty at wall and need to clean. Wifi sometimes okay, sometime slow.

Everything is good and if I had to comment on something then it’s definitely the toilet, it’s long rectangular concept and it’s quite squeezy.

Everything is good. Good place for overnight. Near to shopping mall. If u have big luggage, this place not suitable for u. No lift. U need to bring ur luggaga using a stair. But uncle at receptionist so friendly. Mattress also great..

Room is a bit small, but great for a short transit stay.

Good location. Restaurants nearby. Shopping mall.

Overall is good! Because it is a budget hotel, I don't have too many complaints.but the air conditioner in the room I stayed in was leaking, and the bed was right under the air conditioner. I reported it to the staff. The staff apologized and was very nice! I hope they will pay attention to this problem!

Staff very friendly. Suitable for families.

It is cheap, clean, bit we saw some rats because the toilet have access to the street

the hotel view is super with cheap price and good hospitality too

Great location but thin walls. Well past it's prime. I got a room with a private bathroom for 70 Rm. There's a security dooron the stairs to the entrance where you ring a bell and they let you in. You need to press a button at the top of the stairs to leave too. This got a bit annoying. The room itself had plenty of space but the floor was bare. The aircon worked well. The shower was good...

Cheap n Nice location. Best for backpacker

Plenty of delicious food, reasonable prices n nice night lifestyles to go round the clock 👍

Service is not impressive. Front desk ask for depo (RM50) is understandable but they don’t prepare for change so they ask for RM100 (only take cash). Facilities is broken (shower) cannot hang so you have to hold the shower head when you wash. Cleanliness is the worst. There is a foul smell when you enter the hallway to your room. No parking provided even if you booked one. First come first serve, so...

The room was quite small Shower in bathroom partially malfunction Very limited parking, forced to illegally park at road side

No amenities, toilet cannot be shut

This is amazing city to visit and stay at George town. Hotel, good atmosphere and vibes meet with people around places....if travel journey please booked roughly recommended

Stay there was very comfortable

Great hotel in central China Town location in George Town. Room was slightly smaller than expected and smelt of damp when we first arrived, but with AC and extractor fan on it went away quickly. Mezzanine bed was comfy, hot shower and lots of spaces for bags under bed! Fairly quiet hotel with not many comings and goings. Free washing machine to use on site. Cafe downstairs also.

I have a great experience by staying here. The room is so comfortable and suitable for anyone who search for budget hotel. The staff also very nice and helpful to me. They provide enough info for me to explore other place near my stay. Will visit this hotel again soon :)

A hotel with a great concept with cafe at the ground floor, bar at the first floor and also not many hotels are pet friendly. However the bar doesn’t really open anymore. I opted this because of the pet friendly availability. it’s sad to see a great concept dies off because of the lack of effort in up keeping. Hopefully the owner is able to revive the place as it is really run down and I don’t think...

The room is okay but it is the only pet friendly hotels which allows you to bring your pets without extra charges. And the location of the hotel is at the town which is very convenient for you to go anywhere. There are lots of nice cafe nearby and there is the food street as well as bars in walking distance at night. The male staff is very friendly and helpful when you ask for something.
