The George Penang by The Crest Collection

George Town|0.33km from Chinatown Penang
It started off rough. Got into the hotel early to leave our luggage and the guy manning the check in was cold, standoffish, and didn’t even bother replying to our pleasantries. When we returned, a misunderstanding ensured. Cos of my earlier encounter, I was just unreasonable. But thank goodness for Suhaila (I think) and her manager - they deescalated the situation with grace and aplomb. That bump aside, I had a lovely time. Was in room 213. Initially I was worried because I have read about noise issues coming from the club next door. But either the club was closed or the soundproofing worked, there were no disturbances. We slept like babies. The room was beautiful, and the location is amazing. This hotel is highly Recommended. Just don’t bother to pay extra for the breakfast. That was just too sad. We tried it on our last day in the hotel as we were leaving early for the airport. It was dismal.
23 Love Lane Hotel

23 Love Lane Hotel

George Town|0.39km from Chinatown Penang
If you like Nanyang Hokkien culture, you deserve to stay here for a few nights. The style of the hotel is based on Nanyang architectural features. The interior and exterior design of the gate, inner and outer courtyards make people feel very relaxed. The location of the hotel is good. It is on the outside of Love Lane. It will not be too noisy from other bars and restaurants in the lane. There are many restaurants and bars nearby. I recommend Decheng Restaurant and the nearby stall of wanton noodle fried kway teow. The outside is also close to the sea There are also some scenic spots where you can take a walk with the sea breeze. The room arrangement is good this time. It is a bungalow on the second floor facing the gate. The bed-shaped bathroom is very spacious and clean. There are two small chairs for drinking tea and coffee and watching the birds and flowers outside. There is also a public space outside the door to read books, drink coffee and play board games. Even if it is raining outside, you can chat with friends and play games inside. The breakfast is good. There are self-service and set meals, and the portions are quite sufficient. Next time I come to Penang, I will continue to choose 23lovelane☕️.

The hotel is good and clean, but the service of parking security is terrible, before we check in, one of the security was playing his phone and videocalling with his friend，so he didnt even notice our car，when he finally noticed us after my husband was leaving to check in first， he knocked our car heavily，and said this is not parking area，i said ok，just a second，he is checking in，the security was rolling his eyes and said it emphasisly again，asked me to move it and i dont even have driving license here. One minutes later ，my husband was back with room card，he checked and let us just parking right there！！ can not believe there are rude staff in this fancy hotel！ 这个酒店的保安无比地*****，我们车停在门口去checkin ，有一个印度保安当时在草丛里玩手机压根没看到我们，然后我老公刚离开座位，车引擎今年还开这，就听见有人猛敲我车窗，我吓一跳看见这个印度保安从草丛里跑出来手机不玩了，说这不是停车位，我说好的 等一分钟，他去checkin ，我们马上开走，他在那翻着白眼大声说这不是停车位！ 我说我没驾照，不然你来开。他一副高高在上的嘴脸，站在我车门口，然后等我老公出来拿着房卡，他一看是酒店的客人，就说把车摆正，等我们下车他赶紧跑远了。酒店平时都没有服务态度的培训吗，他都把自己当这酒店主人了

The hotel is suitable for couples, very romantic, only 8 rooms, each room is different, the bar on the first floor is very good, the little girl and the young man in the breakfast restaurant are Chinese descendants, very warm, there are no attractions around the hotel and Shopping for food, there is no restaurant in the hotel, you can only go outside to eat, everything else is fine.

Ascott Gurney Penang

George Town|2.15km from Chinatown Penang
My elderly parents stayed at The Gurney during their medical checkup in Penang and accidentally left behind some documents. We emailed the hotel and left a message through booking.com to no avail. Then through a phone call, we got connected to Danesh at the Concierge Department, who then went the extra mile to coordinate among various departments within the hotel, and mailed the document through express courier service. His attentive service is highly appreciated.

Le Embassy Hotel Georgetown

Le Embassy Hotel Georgetown

George Town|0.57km from Chinatown Penang
The white elevator is very unique to this elevator. Tho it was slow but I don’t mind bec it so chic with glass door. Very unique indeed! Love it though I wasn’t able to take pic. 😒 +++ white elevator, water refilling dispenser, very spacious room & bathroom +++ location was quite away from the main action but there are 2 bus stops nearby, komtar & chowrasta are 5-10mins walk +++ they provide dental kit, small soap, nice shampoo/conditioner & body wash, mugs, electric kettle, safe, ref, ac was functioning very well, room telephone, tv but i did not use it +++ free wifi was good —- reception is not very friendly except for 1 Indian guy who promptly answers whatsapp tho he mistaken me for a guy at first 😄, the chinese receptionist hardly smiles, indian lady seemed to not know anything when you ask about tourist spots (i think hotel people should equip themselves with some knowledge on tourism. I mean there should be basic orientation by management on this. Times had changed and you need to have these extra customer service, just suggesting). —- i was in the assumption that cleaning is daily but i was told every other day but i still need to remind them about it. Entire hotel can use some improvement in the cleaning — no closet inside the room, you just have to hang your stuff —- my view was a huge wall —- soundproofing is bad, very noisy when people close doors or children running around. You hear toilet flushing from nearby rooms —- it was raining when I arrive and nobody offered an umbrella except on the second day when the janitor heard me. That was appreciated very much. It also made me realize that umbrella is a weapon for solo travellers so that made the carrying a little easier —- towels smell mushy maybe bec of rainy season —- sometimes bathroom had some drainage smells —- food choices was a little limited in area unless you walk for like 5-10mins. Overall stay was still on the good side. I had way worst stays than this. I did enjoy my solo trip to Penang and would love to go back. I plan to stay next time near the street art areas where the actions are. I would still recommend le embassy to other travellers.

Campbell House

George Town|0.07km from Chinatown Penang
Very good, very cost-effective. First of all, the hotel is not big, so they take good care of each room and guest. The Indian brother at the front desk was very enthusiastic, introduced us to the focus of Penang and marked them on the map one by one. The second hotel is in a very good location, close to Shantou Street, very convenient to eat. Not far from all the attractions, this location is very good. The third room is well equipped with high quality spare parts and facilities. Highly recommended.

Nam Keng Hotel Penang

George Town|0.1km from Chinatown Penang
Great location, lovely property with a homely feeling (with a courtyard), good variety of breakfast topped with excellent customer service makes this property more than worth a stay. We stayed for 3 nights and all the key areas to visit in Georgetown are within 10 -15 mins walk with access to the main street 2 mins away. Room and bathroom are very clean, modern with the heritage touch. Highlight was the staff and their customer service with an attitude to help us in every possible way.

THE CENTURY BOUTIQUE HOTEL （George Town)

George Town|0.2km from Chinatown Penang
First experience with capsule hotel bed and dormitory with 3 other lovely female travellers. Fortunately, it was an experience exceeding all expectations!! First WOW - look at all the cultural heritage, beautiful art, antique items and furniture, the Feng Shui Koi pond, water fountain, greenery! OMG- better than visiting a museum- you get to live and experience it!!! Second WOW- looking for street food? Walk around and you see stalls selling the local delish: SATAY, Lok Lok, Char Hor Fun and other stalls. Also, the handicraft stores with Batik and wooden sculptures! Other amenities : open swimming pool, 3 shower room next to it and hair dryer (tip: the water pressure and shower much more satisfying compared to bathtub or shower inside dorm room, and a game/ relax room filled with couch to wind down after a tiring day. and just Final WOW- the receptionist and staffs are helpful and well-informed! Guests were invited to join in the fun and you can see guests lounging in the open, relaxed and chatting with the staffs! Room for improvement: mosquitoes... can't seem to get rid of them ( so be prepared) and the places are considered clean... but not spotless. I hope this culturally rich building can be well maintained, and the places be properly upgraded even more as it succeeds as one of the most valuable hotel experience in Georgetown 🥰

Kimberley Boutique Hotel

Kimberley Boutique Hotel

4.3/55 Reviews
Kimberley Boutique Hotel is a wonderful place to relax in the heart of Georgetown, Penang. The hotel is not big, but inside it is very beautiful, quiet and peaceful. The internet is very fast and a pleasure to work both in the rooms and in the corridor. The room we were in was well air-conditioned with a comfortable work desk. The air conditioner was new and silent, and the bathroom was large and functional. The corridor is painted with beautiful paintings and you can take many nice pictures in it. The staff at Kimberley Boutique Hotel are very friendly and everything is very clean. In the rooms you have a safe for valuables and everything is very secure in the hotel. There are many cameras in the corridors and there is nothing to worry about while staying there. The doors are unlocked with a code, as is the front door. It locks after a certain time and is another prerequisite for your safe experience inside. We stayed about 2 weeks at Kimberley Boutique Hotel and everything was perfect, but next time we come back we will stay at least a month. For us, this is the best hotel in Penang in terms of price, amenities and security. Highly recommend!

It’s perfect for the whole family to live together! ! I have stayed in hotels and Airbnbs in Penang, and this place is really the best value for money. I was originally worried that there would be problems with the old house, but it turned out that the experience was great. It had everything it needed. The beds, tables, and floors were all of great quality, and the cleaning was more meticulous than many hotels (certified for mysophobia). Next door is the famous Shantou Street, where you can’t finish the fried rice with duck kueh sauce, roast pork rice, teahouse, snacks and sugar water... There are also supermarkets and laundry rooms nearby. The downstairs of the room happens to sell Penang specialties, and the landlord even gives them to you. Voucher hahahaha All five stars, thank you to the landlord and everyone in the store for taking care of me!

My wife and I were staying over at the Penaga hotel and we were walking the streets of Georgetown and stumbled upon this hidden gem and decided to take a closer look. We checked in here on 11/05 room No.6 just for a few hours stay to freshen up as we needed to wait until 9pm got our flight back to Sabah. All staff was super friendly and welcoming. Especially that Malay associate who was very polite and professional. He even took the extra step to personally sanitize the room for us to ensure that we were comfortable with our stay. Kudos to him. Room was very simple, nice and clean. I really wished we had more time to enjoy the room and it’s surroundings. Although they not have a TV in the room but they have basic things like safety box and hair dryer which was great. At the back of the hotel they have a common area which is somewhat like a balcony where you can chill and eat or drink your stuff. Unfortunately we were too tired to take photos of the room but overall, we were very pleased with our stay and friendly staff. We will come back. Thank you.
