NEVER AGIN!!! This was the worst hotel we've ever been (according to price we've paid). We booked deluxe room with leisure space (sofa, cafe table) and we get smelly tine cage with the view on dirty fence. The bathroom haven't been cleaned for a while - the water from shower was standing because of hairs and dirt in the floor... More

Pros: Rooms are clean, wifi was very good, comfortable beds. Cons: Rooms a little small. It is located close to a great food court and shops, but it is still a bit far away from the old town and transport hubs. Also the road next to the hotel - which you have to cross to get anywhere, is a joke... More

Good location is only positive thing. Really and I mean really small room for one person. You just go sleep there, but it's so noisy that I could not sleep. Also cigarets smoke will come that tiny room somewhere. It was not worth it to me.

The Georgetown Hotel is a nice clean hotel with a helpful staff. Good AC,TV,WIFI,hot water and a pot for tea or coffee (supplied). My only issue is that it is a bit of a walk to the Georgetown sites. The upside is that it is close to bus 101 stop that takes you to Batu Faringhi and there is a... More

The Georgetown Hotel is a 20-minute hike through heritage architecture to Chulia Street, but only a five-minute walk to several excellent local food courts (such as New World Park). Service was exceptional, with one employee running some 100 metres out of the hotel to warn us we were heading the wrong way to our destination. At around $30/night, the double... More

Generally, it was a satisfactory stay during our time in Penang. Everything was as expected and worth the money except the following points which are better than we thought at home: - Very new and clean. Rooms are tidy and have a window; - Friendly staff. They are ready to help with things such as arranging a taxi or lending... More

Staffs overall good, room still ok for the value we paid for. Bed ok, shower room was a bit too small. At late nite, many Malay boys with bike hanging around at hotel Lobby area , felt very insecure. Limited parking space. A real budget hotel with a clean outlook.

The hotel staff were very friendly and the rooms were smallish but clean.Our requests were taken care of quickly,and we were given(correct) directions to all the attractions we wanted to visit,which are mostly accessible on foot ,or by bus/taxi.Many historiscal monuments and eateries close by,as it is in the middle of Georgetown heritage zone.
