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.
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.

Everything from the lighting to the layout makes you feel at ease. It's an ideal spot whether you're here for business or leisure. Super convenient location too, just steps away from great cafes, shops, and local gems. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting George Town!
THE CENTURY BOUTIQUE HOTEL （George Town)
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. I’d highly recommend staying here if you're visiting George Town—it’s not just a place to sleep, it’s a memory in the making.
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.

This hotel completely exceeded my expectations! The air conditioning worked perfectly, keeping the room cool and comfortable throughout my stay. I was especially impressed with the laundry machine—it dried my clothes thoroughly and left them fresh with no lingering odors. The cleanliness was outstanding—every corner felt spotless, and there wasn’t a single sign of grime or mess. I’ll definitely be booking here again on my next trip to Penang. 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.

The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the city center and surrounded by great dining options and convenience stores.

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. You can grab a late-night snack or explore the city’s culinary scene without needing to take a taxi. While the room size is on the smaller side, it’s perfect for solo travelers or couples looking for a no-frills, convenient base.
