Macallum Central Hotel Managed By The Ascott Limited 

Staying at Macallum Central Hotel was a great experience overall. The room was spacious and located right on the street, making it super convenient for getting around. After taking the stairs to the second floor, we found a large open-plan layout with a living area and kitchen—perfect for cooking meals and relaxing. The cleanliness was satisfactory with no major concerns, and the neighborhood was quiet yet well-connected to the city center. The only minor issue was during check-in when the door remained locked, requiring us to call staff to open it—a small inconvenience that could be improved. Despite that, the hotel offers excellent value, especially for guests who appreciate extra space and independence. I’d definitely recommend this place for both short stays and longer visits.

Seven Terraces

Visited three hotels during my trip to Penang, and Seven Terraces stands out as the absolute best. It's not just stylish with a unique design aesthetic—it's also incredibly quiet, making it perfect for a peaceful stay. The on-site restaurant is Michelin-rated, and the food was exceptional—definitely worth a special visit. I also want to thank the platform's customer service for helping me secure the reservation at the Michelin restaurant and arranging a late check-out until 1 PM. Their support made a big difference. Overall, this hotel offers outstanding value and a memorable experience—I'd definitely come back.

Anggerik Lodging

The room was decent and the staff were friendly, making the overall stay quite pleasant. One small downside was that there was no drinking water provided in the room—only a kettle for hot water, which meant I had to bring my own water or buy it nearby. That said, the atmosphere was really cozy and homely, almost like staying in a private home rather than a hotel. It reminded me of those charming guesthouses I’ve visited in Ayutthaya, Thailand—simple, warm, and welcoming. The location is convenient, with easy access to the city center via public transit. For travelers looking for a relaxed, authentic vibe without breaking the bank, this place offers great value. Would definitely consider returning if I'm back in George Town.
