Staying at Yeng Keng Hotel in George Town was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the city, making it super easy to explore nearby attractions without needing to take long transfers. We booked a double room for two adults and a child, and it worked out wonderfully—the space was comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. The hotel’s overall design blends local charm with modern touches: the rooms, courtyard, swimming pool, and dining area all felt thoughtfully crafted and inviting. I especially loved relaxing in the peaceful garden area. Breakfast was a highlight—offering a great mix of Western and local dishes, all freshly prepared and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always eager to answer questions and provide detailed information. From check-in to checkout, every interaction was warm and professional. This stay truly exceeded expectations. Highly recommended for travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and a genuine local experience.

Staying at Noordin Mews was an absolute delight from start to finish. The moment you step into the lobby, you're greeted by a rich, authentic Malay-Chinese colonial charm—the design is so thoughtfully done, it feels like stepping into a vintage postcard. Breakfast was incredible: a diverse and generous spread that changed daily, offering everything from local kaya toast and nasi lemak to fresh fruit and western-style options. The staff went above and beyond—warm, attentive, and thoughtful, with little welcome gifts upon arrival and personalized recommendations for nearby hidden gems and walking routes.

LM Homeyb 3Br Family Suite for 4-14 Pax#EV Charger
The overall stay was great—clean, spacious, and perfect for a family. The 3-bedroom suite offered plenty of room for our group of 10, and the layout made it easy to relax and enjoy our time. The only minor issue was the elevator congestion during check-in; we waited over 30 minutes to get one, which was a bit frustrating. That said, it didn’t ruin the experience. The location in George Town is convenient, and the property itself has a welcoming vibe. With a few small improvements—like staggered check-in times or better crowd management—the experience would be even smoother. Still, highly recommend for families looking for a comfortable, well-located place to stay.

When you return to your room, you’re greeted with a spacious, thoughtfully designed space that blends traditional elements with a cool, modern interior. Despite being in the heart of the action, it’s surprisingly quiet—occasional bird calls or distant prayer chants actually add to the peaceful ambiance. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience seamless. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a real taste of the city. Highly recommend this gem!

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.

Visited three hotels during my trip to Penang, and Seven Terraces stands out as the absolute best.
