Once I finally got a room in working order, I enjoyed my stay at the Traders and will definitely come back!!! Location - in the very centre of Georgetown, right next to Komtar. This is a very old, quite dirty area which looks run-down and dark. On the other hand, it also provides you with an easy access to the... more

As befits it's 5 star business rating, the Traders Hotel provides professional service with a smile. The standard rooms and ensuite are a bit smaller than the Bayview but the overall presentation of the Traders Hotel is superior. This is a business orientated hotel, but the discounted weekend packages make it worthwhile changing hotels in Penang just for the experience.... more

A short business trip turned into a fantastic 18 hour treat for me, never ever expected that I would love Penang so much! I was under the impression that all of Malaysia had been renovated and ‘cleaned-up’ beyond help, but Georgetown is indeed the ‘real’ Asia; a living town, with a feel and flavour that is absolutely unmatched. The Hotel... more

We stayed at Traders during mid June. I found the staff to be wonderful especially the cleaning staff and the guys on the door - very friendly and helpful! While it's not in the most ideal part of town (in my opinion) it is around the corner from the Prangin Mall!! This was great for shopping (too great maybe) also... more

We stayed a couple of nights in a club room and a standard room. The hotel is superbly run with excellent breakfast and evening meals. The staff is very efficient and friendly. The club rooms are a little smarter than the standard rooms and of course you get the freebies. The standard rooms are superb value at weekends, hence our... more

I have stayed several times already in the Traders Penang and it's almost like coming home when arriving in the lobby. Although maybe not very attractive from the outside, it's a real Pearl on the inside! Great staff, luxurous rooms, central location in walking distance to the old town, very good food and exceptional service. It's recommendable to pay for... more

Check in by a rather unwelcoming front desk lady. Not welcoming at all and looked distracted. Remainder of the stay the staff was very friendly. I was meeting a friend i had not seen for a couple of years and we were going to catch up. There was no way we could have drinks at the lounge because of the... more

We recently stayed at the Traders, Penang. We have stayed at many hotels around the the region and this would be one of the best. Why, from the time of arrival and during our stay we were warmly greeted at all times. The room was very comfortable and the hosuekeeping was impressive. We would have a leisurely breakfast and our... more
