Urban Suites by Stellar ALV
The location is perfect—nestled in a quiet, safe neighborhood with pinpoint navigation that made finding the property effortless. Just a 5-minute walk to a convenience store, which was incredibly convenient for grabbing essentials without leaving the area. The interior design is warm and thoughtfully curated—far more charming in person than the photos suggest. Every detail reflects care and attention, making the space feel truly welcoming. The mattress and pillows were just right—not too soft, not too firm—resulting in a deep, restful sleep for both my partner and me. Communication with the host was outstanding; they responded instantly and sent a comprehensive check-in guide ahead of time, including local tips on dining, transit options, and important reminders. This place offers an exceptional experience at a great value. I’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting George Town.
Maritime Seaview Hotel
I stayed at the Maritime Seaview Hotel, which is actually located within an apartment building in the heart of George Town. The location itself is convenient—close to local life and amenities, with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. However, the service was lacking. There was no check-in staff to assist, and I had to pay a deposit online before being allowed to pick up my key. The front desk security was extremely strict—no one without a valid access card could enter, even if they were guests. Once inside, the room didn’t feel thoroughly cleaned. There were noticeable stains on the sofa and seating area, suggesting poor housekeeping standards. While the neighborhood is vibrant and walkable, the lack of personal attention and cleanliness made the experience less than satisfactory. For the price, I expected better service and hygiene. Improvements here would go a long way in enhancing guest satisfaction.
Ryokan Muntri Boutique Hostel
Absolutely perfect in every aspect. A huge thank you to Abu for handling countless challenges with such warmth and dedication—truly a rare gem. The host was incredibly thoughtful, especially during the early days of the pandemic when their care and support went above and beyond what anyone could expect. The rooms are clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed with a calming Japanese aesthetic. What makes this place truly special is the genuine sense of community and hospitality—exactly what a hostel should be. Friendly staff, welcoming vibe, and great location just minutes from the city center by public transit. I’ve stayed at many hostels around the world, but this one stands out for its heart, quality, and attention to detail. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Sogor Girls Dormitory
Staying at Sogor Girls Dormitory was a really positive experience overall. The location is fantastic—just a short walk or quick transit ride into George Town’s city center, and everything feels safe and well-maintained. The dorm rooms are clean, comfortable, and offer great value for the price. While some of the other guests weren’t particularly friendly during my stay, that didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed the place. Compared to other budget accommodations in the area, this one stands out with better facilities and a more welcoming vibe. If you're looking for a reliable, no-frills option in Penang that won’t break the bank, this is definitely worth considering. I’d happily come back and recommend it to fellow travelers.
Carnarvon House
Staying at Carnarvon House was such a delightful experience — truly captures the charm of old-school Malay charm. I booked the attic room for three, which came with a double bed and a single bed — plenty of space for us all without feeling cramped. The room was spotlessly clean, and while there's some street noise due to its location, it didn’t ruin the overall comfort. What stood out most was the complimentary snacks and coffee available throughout the day — perfect for a quick pick-me-up or afternoon treat right in the lobby. It’s cozy, well-maintained, and feels like stepping into a nostalgic little retreat. Great value for money and definitely worth recommending to anyone looking for a quiet, authentic stay in George Town.
Momostay Capsule Hotel
Staying at Momostay Capsule Hotel in George Town was an excellent experience. The room was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly spacious for a capsule-style accommodation. Everything felt modern and thoughtfully designed—perfect for a quick, restful stay. It's located just steps away from the metro station, making it super convenient to explore the city center and nearby attractions. The area is also packed with great dining options, which added to the overall charm. Friendly staff made check-in and check-out smooth, and the value for money was outstanding. I’d definitely recommend this place to travelers looking for a clean, affordable, and hassle-free base in George Town.
Mii Smile Hotel Penang
Staying at MII Hotel in George Town was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with genuine warmth and professionalism—every interaction felt personal and thoughtful. They went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable, offering helpful tips on local spots and even adjusting room temperature without me asking. The hotel’s modern, minimalist design creates a calming atmosphere, and the location is perfect for exploring the city—just a short walk from cafes, markets, and attractions. Clean, quiet, and well-maintained rooms make it ideal for both business and leisure travelers. It's rare to find such exceptional service combined with such a peaceful, welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Penang.
Cocoa Mews Cafe and Homestay
Staying at Cocoa Mews was an absolute delight from start to finish. The warm hospitality from the hosts made me feel right at home—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Located just a short walk from Little India and close to the famous mural street, it’s perfect for exploring the vibrant local culture. There are plenty of authentic Indian eateries nearby, so I had no trouble finding delicious food right outside the door. The neighborhood has a lively yet relaxed vibe, making it easy to unwind after a day of sightseeing. It's not just a place to sleep—it’s a real experience. Highly recommend for travelers who value charm, comfort, and a personal touch.
Hotel 22 Gurney
Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! No deposit required upon check-in, and no cultural heritage tax to pay—just pure convenience. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly, and the guy at the counter? Seriously handsome and made the whole process even more enjoyable. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and has a really relaxing vibe. It's super close to all the main attractions—perfect for exploring George Town on foot or by public transit. What really stands out is the incredible value for money. You get top-notch comfort and service without breaking the bank. This place exceeded my expectations in every way. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
MoonTree47
This place has truly been one of the best stays of my life. From the moment I arrived, the warm welcome and attention to detail made me feel right at home. Located just a short walk from the city center, everything is within easy reach—great restaurants, local markets, and shopping spots. The room was spotless, stylishly designed, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a restful night’s sleep. I especially loved the little garden area in the lobby; sipping coffee there in the morning while watching the sunrise was pure bliss. It’s rare to find such charm, comfort, and value all in one place. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend this gem to any traveler visiting George Town.
Earnest Hotel Georgetown
The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the city center and surrounded by great dining options and convenience stores. While parking can be tight, it’s not an issue if you’re arriving by ride-share or public transit. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a fantastic stay with excellent value for money—I’d definitely come back.
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.
