Located in town close to shopping centre and transport. Rooms very nice service is excellent

the AC is always on high and no way to off and adjust

I stayed at two hotels in penang and by far traders was second to none. Friendly service very nice rooms and resturants in very conveiant place. Shopping is close by for those who require food and holiday items. I would stay again when and if come back to penang,

Hotel Feature Tip : Bus termainal at rear but you hear no noise and taxi abound

Directly beside the bus station, Georgetown historical centre very close.

Rooms have a musty smell

I spent 2 nights at the Traders in the Club Rooms. The hotel was right at the start of the historical area. The service in the club rooms were really good value and the service was very hospitable.The shuttle bus to the sister property in Batu Faringa is a must the property is on the beach with all the facities avail to book to your room back at Traders. I would recomend this hotel for service and location. The hawkers food market is also only a 5 minute walk away.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : A trip to penang hill is a must, but get there early as it is very popular and the finicular(Train) leaves every half hour

1. Location - near to shopping & food 2. Easy to get trishaw 3. Good concierge service

1. Need refurbishment 2. Reception service not great

Traders Penang is suitable for those who like a busier city environment. Shopping is certainly easy with Prangin Mall and Komtar just next door. Local food is abundant within 5-10 minutes walk from the hotel. Besides the location in the heart of Penang,the service is typical Shangri la which is efficient but not too friendly. The room that I was in was a deluxe but it was comfortable and a little bit tired, especially the bathroom. Overall, it was not too bad for value.
