Rooms were ran down and dirty. The WiFi sucked/didn't work. My room key stopped working once and my buddies twice. Walls were thin. I guess it was cheap though, so you get what you pay for.

Georgetown is a must for everyone. This town is a food mecca... it is hard to find a bad eatery, there are so many amazing places to eat, Michelin star restaurants at local Malaysian prices, hawker centres where you will queue with the aunties for a 6rm plate of the best noodles you'll have ever tasted. There are so many fantastic bars and speakeasies. The street art... it is easy to get lost in the culture as you wander around the old streets, before ducking into a place for a cold drink and some AC.

Penang is my late dad’s hometown, so i’ve been visiting and staying in the Island many times since I was a child. I’d say that its capital George Town has it all; beaches, historical sites, shopping places, cultural centres, you name it and they got it.
One of the must-visit place in Malaysia whenever you’re in the country; please take note that it’s not that close to Kuala Lumpur/KL. If you’re driving from KL, it’ll take around 4-5 hours drive (and longer traveling hours train). Alternatively, you may take a 45 minutes flight via KLIA.
Oh, and skip the fancy clothing when you’re in Penang. It’s hot for the most part of the year. There’s no need to suffer in the name of fashion.

George Town is the perfect destination for those looking for a weekend getaway from the bustling concrete forest that is Kuala Lumpur. It is also perfect for those who hold a deep and special appreciation for cities that preserves their rich history and heritage. As you walk around the city, you can find yourself surrounded by many amazing street art and cute heritage sites, such as temples and other old Chinese architecture. And don't forget about the plethora of amazing and affordable street foods you can come across during your walk. Definitely don't end your day early and make the most of your evening as there are many night markets happening daily.

During our recent stay, Alan went above and beyond to ensure that our requests were handled efficiently and that we felt heard and valued as guests. His professionalism and dedication to his role did not go unnoticed, and it significantly contributed to the positive experience we had during our stay.
Exploring the local culinary scene, including Teksen Restaurant, Plus Eatery Cafe, Uncle Lim’s Kacang Tumbuk, and many others, was a true highlight of our trip. Having such a diverse selection of dining options nearby added immense value to our stay.
Thank you for providing us with a comfortable and convenient accommodation experience. We look forward to visiting again and indulging in more of the delicious offerings near your hotel.

UNESCO site, old buildings well kept, very clean streets all around. Friendly neighborhood, most business operators are very welcoming too. CAT Free shuttle bus service is excellent. We had great time visiting Kek Lok Si, The Habitat, Penang Hill, Peranakan Museum Penang, Blue Mansion, War Museum.
"The Top" at Komtar is very disappointed visit though, staff are not welcoming, very bad attitude. facility around is poor too, access to entrance is somehow confusing. Overpriced & not worth the visit.
The city council should pay serious attention in maintaining walkway of shoplots as we noticed many of the shop operator blocked their front walkway by using huge pots & plants, chairs, signboard, motorcycles and so on, forcing pedestrians to walk on the road side & fight with oncoming traffic, which already packed with double parked cars, potentially causing unwanted accident, this to me is totally unacceptable in such a beautiful city.
Tourism board/City council should erect more signboard for main tourist attractions too, it definitely helps tourists to walk around.

This is one of my favourite places in Penang.
This is one of my favourite places in Penang. There are many interesting sights to see, and the local cuisine is amazing. I will definitely visit again. People in Penang are very helpful and friendly. The services rendered by some of the shops in Penang were awesome.
The total experience was great. We were lucky to be able to park our car under the hotel (the road in front of the hotel is very busy) and from that moment, the friendliness of all people and the clean hotel made a huge impression on us. The room was fantastic, very clean, modern and spacious. Location is also good, easy to walk to all nice streets and restaurants in George Town.
Each day we had breakfast made by May (she is fantastic by the way), what was outstanding. Overall a fantastic experience and definitely recommended.
The hotel feels like you are in a little luxurious yet welcoming lobby, soft carpet flooring, and beautiful dimming atmosphere.
I stayed here over Thaipusam week in a Deluxe room, which is perfect for a couple with its king sized clean bed, nice pillows, spacious seating area and private bathroom.
It was truly an escape from the hustle and bustle of KL, and it was such a relaxing experience enjoyed access to shopping malls and hawker delights while enjoying a quieter stay in the heart of George town.
This my 2nd time stay here ....me and my husband enjoy stay bayview because most important very clean room,the bedsheet pillow,toilet carpet and etc and the view from the window was excellent..i love staff from front desk so frendly ..i remember last time i stay 1oct when i check in 2nd time 19oct staff really recognise me🤭🤭 guard from parking ,guard from door men and frondesk im really happy like we are family.i will repeat stay this hotel.
The hotel was conveniently located in little India, George Town with several eating options. We stayed in a small room with twin beds that were placed upon a large wooden platform with no floor space between the beds. Room was clean and shower pressure really good. Breakfast was varied with both local and continental options. The fresh fruit and juices were really delicious and perfect for the weather.
Fantastic location close to everything in George Town and a large shopping centre around the corner + tourist locations (jetties, street art and more all in walking distance). Rooms/ hotel overall was modern, comfortable and quiet. Free Wi-Fi was useful. Staff and check in was easy, complimentary coffee and the lobby was also a comfortable location to bring dinner and gather.
Everything. It was great. Very spacious, very comfortable. A lot of amenities at the property. AMAZING breakfast buffet and really good food options at the whole hotel. A bit on the more expensive side of George Town but worth it.
The free canapés and cocktails from 6-7pm was also great. All in all this was an amazing hotel, great staff and amazing venue.
The hotel is situated outskirt of the core part of George Town. Visiting the heart of George Town took only 10 - 15 minutes walk. It's close to a big mall where groceries can be purchased. Staff was nice and polite. Very close (within 10 minutes walk) to some hawker centers and breakfast stalls where you could try local foods.
Perfect vacation when we stay at this hotel, it's located at the center of George Town. spacious clean comfort room. Staffs are helpful and very friendly, Thanks to Ms. Sharmini.
definitely will stay at this hotel again when we would be back to Penang next trip.
Everything. The friendliest staff and the most impeccable, clean room and great air conditioning in the gym, which is quite unusual in Malaysia! I just love this hotel and the people couldn’t do enough to help you with anything you needed.
The location was excellent and enabled you to stay in the heart of George Town. Being able to walk to local restaurants and bars a bonus. The hotel is a most sympathetic conversion of former shops and gave one a feel of the past.
Excellent location, super charming hotel. offers great comfortable rooms and a very nice common area including relaxed pool area.
staff was outstandingly helpful and super friendly. best stay in Malaysia, highly recommended!
I like the location and the parking place outside the hotel.
Very convenient in George town and safe.
