23 Love Lane Hotel
I absolutely loved this hotel! From the moment I stepped in, I could feel the artistic vibe and thoughtful curation—every painting on the wall, every piece of furniture was carefully chosen, showing real passion in design. The building itself is nearly 200 years old, meticulously restored with attention to historical details. There’s even a small booklet in the lobby explaining the heritage and research behind the renovation—so fascinating to read! The layout is fantastic: peaceful garden areas, a staircase covered in blooming flowers, and rooms that are spacious, bright, and spotlessly clean. The bathroom even has two sinks—such a nice touch. Breakfast was a highlight—authentic local dishes like coconut rice, plus Western options. And don’t miss the free afternoon tea: the yellow cassava cake was delicious (though it’s not served daily, so lucky if you catch it). After a long day exploring George Town, coming back here to sip tea, enjoy a snack, and relax with a book felt pure bliss. Staff were incredibly polite and attentive—always ready to help. We arrived early in the morning and were surprised to be checked in by 11 AM! Plus, the two resident cats are adorable—they wander the halls like true hotel celebrities. Location-wise, it’s super convenient—just steps from a Michelin-recognized Peranakan restaurant, though we missed trying it because there was a wedding happening when we passed by. A little noise from passing cars occasionally made its way in, but it never disturbed sleep. Overall, this place is more than just a stay—it’s an experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for charm, character, and genuine hospitality.
Flamingo Hotel by The Beach, Penang
Flamingo Hotel by the Beach is an excellent choice for travelers who value a prime beachfront location and a spacious, family-friendly pool.

The hotel offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere perfect for unwinding in Penang. Easy access to local attractions and a welcoming vibe make this a standout option for a memorable stay.
Royale Chulan Penang
Staying at Royale Chulan Penang during the holiday season was an absolute highlight. From the moment I walked in, the elegant and refined ambiance immediately caught my eye—sophisticated design, immaculate cleanliness, and a level of attention to detail that truly speaks to luxury. What made this trip unforgettable, though, was the exceptional service from Devika, a front-desk agent who speaks fluent Chinese. Her warm and genuine hospitality made all the difference. She guided me smoothly through check-in, offered helpful tips about the area, and even went the extra mile on my departure day by arranging a ride and confirming details for me—something so thoughtful that it eased any travel stress. It’s rare to encounter such personal care, and it reminded me why Malaysian hospitality is so celebrated. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a place where you feel seen and valued. The facilities are excellent, the rooms are spotless, and the atmosphere is peaceful and inviting. If you’re looking for a stay that blends comfort, elegance, and heartfelt service, this is definitely one to consider. Devika alone makes this experience worth remembering.

This hotel truly deserves a perfect score! From the moment you step outside, the charm of history is evident in every detail. The room itself was immaculate—clean, well-appointed, and thoughtfully furnished. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like the full range of toiletries provided. What made the stay unforgettable was the warm hospitality from the elderly gentleman at the front desk—he gave us such genuine recommendations and helpful tips about local spots, making our trip feel more personal and authentic. The location is excellent for exploring George Town, with easy access to public transit and nearby attractions. For the price, this experience offers incredible value and character. It’s rare to find a boutique hotel that blends heritage, comfort, and heartfelt service so perfectly.

RumahKu Georgetown
Staying at RumahKu Georgetown was a pleasant experience overall. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the city center and easily accessible by public transit. While there’s a nightclub nearby, noise levels were surprisingly low, so it didn’t disturb my sleep at night. One downside was the air conditioning in the 3rd-floor room—it seemed to be malfunctioning. Even with the fan on, the room stayed uncomfortably warm, so if you’re sensitive to heat, this might be something to consider. However, the host was incredibly welcoming and helpful. They gave honest recommendations for local restaurants, all of which turned out to be authentic and delicious—no hidden fees or tourist traps. Their warmth made the stay feel more personal and enjoyable. If you're looking for a cozy, locally-run place with great hospitality and a central spot, this is definitely worth a try.
Cititel Express Penang
Staying at Cititel Express Penang was a great experience overall. The room isn't huge, but it's clean and well-maintained, with a nice wooden interior design that gives it a warm, natural feel—no unpleasant odors at all. The floor-level access control adds a good sense of security, and there are both two-pin and three-pin outlets available, which is super convenient for charging devices. What really stands out is the location—right next to shopping malls, with Gama, 1st Avenue, and TheTop all within a 3-minute walk. Across the street, you'll find a variety of local favorites: a Vietnamese restaurant, Fuku Shou pastry shop, Sih Si Dessert, Guo Jia Guo, and Meifeng Teahouse. Plus, there’s a 7-Eleven and Chang Long Coffee just around the corner for quick snacks or drinks. Everything you need is right outside your door, making it ideal for travelers who want convenience without sacrificing comfort. Highly recommend this hotel for a hassle-free stay in George Town.

It’s well-located, easy to access by public transit, and offers fantastic value for money. A truly memorable stay!
The Leith
The location is absolutely perfect—walking distance to so many highlights. Just steps from the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion on one side and Beryl’s Chocolate Shop on the other, with the famous mural alley just a 10-minute walk away. Within a 2-kilometer radius, you’ll find charming streets full of local food stalls and authentic flavors. A short taxi ride takes you to Batu Ferringhi Beach, making it ideal for both city explorers and beach lovers. The staff went above and beyond—my daughter loved the milk at breakfast, and the restaurant team kindly offered an extra cup without hesitation. It’s little touches like these that make the stay unforgettable. Clean rooms, great vibe, and excellent service—this place truly delivers.
Mei Hotel
Staying at Mei Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The ambiance is clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed—every corner feels intentional and welcoming. Located right in the heart of George Town, it's just a short walk away from bustling streets filled with hidden gems: local eateries, art galleries, and historic landmarks.

The room was spotless and well-maintained, with a charming old-world aesthetic that perfectly complements the building’s historic architecture. Every time I checked in or returned after a day of sightseeing, the staff greeted me warmly, making me feel truly welcome. Breakfast was a highlight—offering a great mix of Western and local Malaysian dishes, all fresh and delicious. I only stayed for three nights, but it felt like home.
