For our 25th anniversary we planned a trip to Penang, Malaysia and Singapore. The Traders was our first stop and it was a great homebase for discovering Georgetown and surrounding areas. As I mentioned in the title, we paid a bit more for a room on the Traders Club floors. This allowed us 24 hour access to the lounge with... more

We wanted to stay in Georgetown for a few nights after spending time in Batu Ferringhi. The Traders Hotel offered a good rate and so we booked here. Once again, I was grateful that Traders were able to organise interconnecting rooms - makes it so much easier for us. The view out the windows (roof of Komtar bus station) was... more

The lobby area of the hotel is very nice but the hotel is not located in the prettiest part of town, however you can easily walk everywhere or get a cycle rickshaw. The room was smaller than I had hoped and the view from the room overlooked the roof of the Komtar shopping centre which is a bit shabby. The... more

Lovely stay, the highlight being the very helpful staff on the front door. Rooms comfortable (although an update may be in order), good location for exploring although you do need to take a taxi to get to the sights (be aware that all the taxi drivers seem out to rip you off, all refuse to use the meter and charge... more

Booked hotel through external website at promotional price. Abt 400ringgit each room for two nights. Used to be Shangri-la hotel so room features are good. Good location: near to Penang Road and food street at MacAlister Road. more

A bit dated but the room was pretty big, very clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were helpful although we found the bar area to be a bit 'cabaret' which was a shame. The gym is really good if like me, you need to cram in some exercise. I'd definitely recommend it for the price. more

I have never done a 5 star hotel before, boy I could get used to it. I found a great deal on this Hotel, so price was great. Location perfect, right next door to a great shopping centre. What hasn’t already been said?? more

I was unsure about this hotel after reading some of the reviews on here, but I am glad that I decided to stay here, I was very impressed with the hotel, service, everything about it, the staff were very friendly and helpful, they arranged a driver for me for 2 days so I got to see most of hte places... more

The Traders Hotel offers amazing value for money. The rooms were compact but very comfortable, especially the bed and pillows. The staff were really helpful and if one of the staff members didn't know the answer to our question, they would follow up with someone else for us. When we first checked in, we asked for a different room because... more
