Best George Town Hotels

"I stayed for one night at The Chambers Hotel. Though it’s well maintained, it still looks dated but still comfortable enough. The receptionist was friendly enough to upgrade me to family room as my own room type was already full. Wifi is quite strong though it may lag sometimes when streaming videos. The toiletries are relatively sufficient with both shampoo/body soap combo and toilet paper (though there’s a bidet spray). I couldn’t find the hair dryer and was careful about opening drawers as some of them looked old and brittle. It would be good if the furniture could be maintained better. Location-wise, this is a very good location as it’s just opposite the Esplanade. It’s a good location for those who wants to mostly visit points of interest in historical George Town. I picked this location as I needed to take my ferry to Butterworth in the morning and this is just 10 minutes walk away. However, as it’s right next to the main road, there tends to be noisy cars passing by even during the wee hours. Convenience wise, there is a water dispenser in the hotel and there is also a 7-Eleven if you need stuff late at night."

"This time I visited Penang again after 13 years. I wanted to visit places I hadn't been to last time and experience Nyonya culture again. So I chose a museum hotel with a Nanyang style. The hotel decoration is very distinctive and the transportation is convenient, but the room has no windows and the smell is not good. The hot water ran out in the middle of the shower because a switch controls the temperature. This is the first time I have seen this. There was an Indian woman at the front desk with a very average service attitude. The breakfast a la carte was a waste of time, and the front desk did not remind me that I needed to wait."

"Penang has a colonial style hotel. The balcony is close to the sea and the sea view is unobstructed. The room is quite large and has a tropical style, especially the bathroom and cloakroom. The symmetrical design highlights the luxury and elegance. It is the most unforgettable hotel"

"The room was good, even without a window it didn't feel cramped. The space in the room was quite well arranged. The bed, bedsheets and towels were clean. The bathroom amenities were all in good condition. There was hot water, quality soap and shampoo available. The hotel staff were friendly. The location was good, convenient for walking around. On the day of the stay there was a food festival, very close by. This hotel has a 100 ringgit security deposit, which is returned upon check-out."

"Good and execulent with bathbut and highervel and non smoking. swimming pool opens from 7:00 . Christmas celebration. Double bed is very comfortable. Near food testaurant and shopping mall. reasonable price for family trip. happy joureny with that hotel."

"it was a pleasant stay. Room is clean and comfortable . Will definitely suggest to friends."

"The hotel location is superb.. it is along the Penang Road that was very easily can find hawkers foods. The hotel provide slipper for those who do not bring to walk around the city. Overall it was a pleasant stay."

"1) The air conditioning unit near the entrance was not functioning well, making that area uncomfortably warm. While the unit in the bedroom and washroom areas worked fine, my family had to stay primarily in the bedroom area due to the uneven cooling. We considered contacting the front desk, but after a long day of shopping, we were too tired and preferred to avoid any interruptions. 2) The hot water in the shower was intermittent, which made it difficult to enjoy a consistently comfortable shower. I hope this feedback is helpful in addressing these issues for future guests."

"Nice hotel located in the old town heritage district. Was very clean, but noisy at night, it sounded like there was a night club near by."

"A Chinese-owned bed and breakfast is very close to the surname bridge. There are also many Chinese-opened tea rooms for breakfast. The room is small, the toilet is cool, and no one can speak Chinese when the boss is absent. The grand birthday of the Tiangong, I do not know whether it is fireworks or someone hit the window. Anyway, when the shower was in the window, the window was so loud that the mother was scared. I thought someone was out of the window. I quickly called to come over and check, and I didn’t find out the reason. The staff was also very good. It’s said that we didn’t change rooms, and we didn’t bother to change the last day."
