Staying at Rainbow Paradise Premium Resorts was an absolute delight. The price was incredibly affordable, and the value for money was outstanding. It's perfectly located just steps away from all the top attractions—walking or hopping on public transit is a breeze. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality; we even got early check-in without any hassle. Parking was super easy to find, which made our arrival stress-free. What really stood out was the evening entertainment—live music and mesmerizing fire performances brought the whole place to life. It added such a magical touch to our stay. If you're looking for comfort, convenience, and a vibrant atmosphere, this resort is a must-visit.
Jawi Peranakan Mansion
Staying at Jawi Peranakan Mansion was an absolute delight! The location is incredibly convenient—everything you need, from local markets and restaurants to cultural landmarks, is just a short walk away. I loved the authentic Peranakan charm throughout the property, with intricate details and traditional design elements that truly reflect Penang’s rich heritage. The staff were warm and attentive, and the room was spotless and comfortable, making for a peaceful night's sleep. It’s rare to find such a unique, well-preserved boutique hotel in such a central spot. If you’re looking for a memorable stay that blends history, culture, and comfort, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
Hotel Penaga
Staying at Hotel Penaga was a delightful experience from start to finish. The hotel has a rich history and the lobby, along with furnishings on each floor, are thoughtfully designed with great taste. My room was absolutely charming—every detail, from the bed linens and cushions to the wall art, featured beautiful bird motifs. As a bird lover, I couldn’t help but smile every time I looked around. The bathroom was spotlessly clean and the shower and tub worked perfectly. I didn’t quite figure out how to operate the jacuzzi, but after a long day of walking, soaking in it was pure bliss. Next time, I’ll bring my own bath salts. The building is old, so when guests upstairs walk, you can hear the floorboards creak slightly—nothing disruptive, just a little character. Most attractions are within walking distance, and the neighborhood stays quiet at night, making it ideal for a peaceful stay. One highlight? The sunset view from the balcony—it was breathtaking. And don’t miss the nearby Nasi Kandar Deen Mutiara. The food is delicious and definitely worth a visit.
Spices Hotel
The Spices Hotel is an absolute gem! Its location is perfect—just a short walk from Armenian Street, making it ideal for exploring local shops, street food, and the vibrant atmosphere of George Town. The room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of comfort for our stay. Though the hotel has only two floors without an elevator, it adds a charming, authentic touch to the experience—plus, walking down the stairs feels like part of the adventure. The lobby is cozy and thoughtfully decorated, creating a warm, welcoming vibe from the moment you step in. Staff are friendly and attentive, and every detail feels carefully considered. For such a great location, affordable price, and unique character, this place earns every single point. I’d happily return again and recommend it to anyone visiting Penang.
The Chambers
Staying at The Chambers was an absolute delight! The room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of comfort without feeling cramped. What really stood out was the location—so many attractions within walking distance. I could easily explore the bustling Chinatown and nearby Indian temples just steps away. The area is vibrant with a rich mix of cultures, and there are countless local eateries to try, from authentic Chinese to traditional Indian cuisine. It’s the perfect spot for travelers who want to immerse themselves in the real vibe of George Town. With excellent value, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere, this place truly exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be back.
Beacon Executive Suites
Our 9-night stay at Beacon Executive Suites in unit 29-09 was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, everything felt perfect—the apartment was spotless, and the management team from WeHomes went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience. Their responsiveness and genuine care made us feel truly welcomed. The view from our room was absolutely breathtaking: waking up to misty mountains brushing the sky, and ending each day with a stunning sunset over the city skyline—moments I’ll never forget. Penang is big and full of hidden gems, so having a car really helped us explore everything—from quiet beaches and cozy cafés to vibrant markets, bird parks, and local farms. One of the highlights? The infinity pool overlooking the sea and city towers. Watching the sunrise from the water’s edge in the morning, then soaking in the moonlit reflections at night—it felt surreal. The location is ideal, the space is spacious and well-designed, and the service was consistently top-notch. We’re already planning our return trip. A huge thank you to WeHomes for turning this into such a special getaway—we’ll cherish these memories forever.

What stood out most was the stunning sea view from the balcony—waking up to the sound of waves and watching the sunrise every morning was truly magical.

Apple Heritage Hotel
The service at the front desk was exceptional—friendly, prompt, and genuinely helpful. The room itself is compact, but what it lacks in space it more than makes up for in comfort and cleanliness. The mattress was plush and supportive, and the pillows provided excellent neck support—perfect for a good night’s sleep. Even though the room is on the smaller side, the quality of the bedding completely elevates the experience. It's clear that attention to detail matters here. I’d absolutely stay again and recommend this place to anyone visiting George Town looking for a cozy, well-maintained stay with a personal touch.

Absolutely loved our stay! The host was incredibly attentive from the very beginning—even before check-in, they reached out to ask about our arrival details and make sure everything was set. Their hospitality made us feel welcome right away. The location is perfect—quiet neighborhood but just a short metro ride away from downtown George Town. Spacious 3-bedroom layout easily accommodated our group of 10, with plenty of room for everyone to relax.

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.

Staying at JX Hotel in George Town, Penang was a truly pleasant surprise. Right from the moment we arrived, the hotel felt clean, welcoming, and well-maintained—exactly what you’d want for a budget-friendly stay. The room was compact but thoughtfully designed: a comfortable bed, efficient air conditioning, and all the basic amenities like shampoo, soap, bottled water, and fresh towels were provided—no extra hassle. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, offering local tips and quick assistance whenever needed. One of the biggest pluses? Free parking right behind the hotel, even if the entrance is a bit narrow. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable—within walking distance to several local eateries, street food stalls, and vibrant night markets.
