“Amazing place! Super friendly staff!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

We have been traveling around for a month, and had stays in many different hotels. This hotel is the best so far. Staff is so helpful and friendly that We will be sad to leve them. Rooms are clean and delicate. It's perfectly located for seeing Penang. There is a bus close to the hotel that goes to all the nice beaches, and also to Penang National Park. We strongly recomande this place.

“Nice staff and clean rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013 via mobile

We stayed here for three nights and enjoyed it very much. The staff are friendly and helpful and the room we stayed in was clean and quite. The location is perfect if you want to explore the beautiful old town. We highly recommend this place!

“Nice rooms in a not so nice city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

If you're in Georgetown go see Penang hill, it's nice for a couple hours. 2 nights is the MOST you need in town. Great Indian food nearby, and some fun street food as well. Wifi is free, but you don't get a signal in the rooms. Nice hotel.

“Very clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

Chulia heritage hotel is a great place to stay if you want to see Penang. We found Penang a bit disappointing and would recommend staying in this city for 3 days tops! (My partner is saying 2 would be more than enough)

Chulia pros:
-very clean
-newer flatscreen TV with movie channels
-rainfall shower head!

Cons:
-the Main Street is a little sketchy (but most are in Penang)
-no restaurant or breakfast in Chulia ( lots of Malay food nearby but sometimes it's nice to have eggs and toast)
-no wifi signal in our room
-room was very thinly insulated and noisy
-there was a window to the lobby that brought in light all night, no way to cover it

“A good heritage hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013

A small hotel located in the historic Chinatown precinct of Georgetown. Friendly and helpful staff. The room was very small and had the basic amenities. No restaurant facilities for meals but plenty of eateries nearby.
