Great place to stay in the heart of Penang which is near by to many eataries, malls and work area. Liked it. Hospitality is enriched. Good Indian restaurants near by which enable you to stay at home anytime during your stay

Stay here many times during my business trip. Staffs are friendly and helpful, also good sense of humor especially the floor manager named Lingeshaan. The morning buffet at Sukkah restaurant is great. The cafe at lobby serve simple foods but tasty, also with good ambience. Room service is good and helpful. Free shutter van to airport make a lot more easy and convenience.

Room tip: High floor room facing main street is with excellence view at night.

This was the 2nd time I stayed with Olive Tree. The staff is nice and provided good services. Hotel is new and clean too. And I am a breastfeeding mother, although there is no freezer in the room. But the hotel can help to frozen the breast milk. It worth to stay no matter for business or travel.

Stay 2 nights for my business trip. Booked through their website. Smooth check in despite still request for security deposit when the room rate + tax already paid in advance (treat customer like a thief or what???). Clean room and nice view. Breakfast is not so much variety. During check out, still request another tax to be paid. In my receipt, it shows that I already paid for the tax. The staff did want to understand it and still insist for the payment. Then the front manager come and explain that the tax I paid is for 1 night, need to pay for 1 more night. I told them that I booked through their website and system, it is not my my problem that their system is very poor. A guy next to me also complain about the hotel. Will not stay again at this hotel. Better find another hotel in the city.

Room tip: Room facing SPICE is much more nicer

Dear En. Mohammad Faizal,

Thank you for sharing your experience. Upon receiving your review, we have conducted an investigation and found out that only 1 night of Hotel Fee was charged to you. Our system is supposed to charge 2 nights of Hotel Fee, which it failed to capture due to technical glitch. This is the first time it has happened and we have highlighted this issue to our vendor to rectify the glitch. It is important for us to ensure that the Hotel Fee (previously known as “Local Government Fee”) is collected as we are required to submit the fee to the government. This exercise was implemented on 1 June 2014 for the purpose of generating monies to develop and promote Penang’s tourism infrastructures, which is also applicable in Malacca as well.

Please accept our apologies for the lack of effective communication from our end and we hope our Executive Assistant Manager, Mr Goh’s phone call to you, has clarified the Hotel Fee and security deposit issues. We hope your experience does not mar your overall impression of our hotel and we hope you will give us a chance to make amends on our end.
