BIG BANANA HOTEL - SEP 2022”

It is approximately 7KM from Sungai Petani Utara Toll Plaza, located in a shop lot area next to the Sungai Petani river bank. Parking is available on the roadside as well as a covered multi storey carpark just opposite the hotel, & both are free. The car park building does not have attached access to the hotel; you'd need to take stairs down the ground level and get over to the hotel lobby. The fastest way to do this is via the external metal staircase next to the vehicle onramp of the building. Check in counter is at lobby, staff is courteous and well mannered. Lobby has both front & rear entrance, an elevator & staircase to the 2 upper floors, & small eatery at the rear (which serves the included breakfast, not sure if it opens full day for other meals). Breakfast is surprisingly quite sumptuous for the included price. On my meal there is fried rice, packed nasi lemak, steam bun & dimsum, hotdog, cereals, hot tea & coffee, & other few I cannot recall. Each hotel floor has a lounge area with seat & reading materials, and a stocked (!) pantry with light snack, water dispenser (normal, hot, cold), microwave, fridge, utensils, mugs & plates for all tenant use. Room is really neat & clean, & the shower is powerful. My best boutique hotel experience to date. The surrounding has a lot of shops, and most are eateries so you will not be starved here.

The room was very spacious compared to an earlier hotel room in Penang. It had all the basic amenities including a toothbrushes and paste. Everything worked. There is even a communal kitchen area with an ironing board, a refrigerator, hot water, snacks. There is a also a reading room/living room to receive guests. The receptionist was very polite and helpful. When we were locked out of our room, a Mr Nyu came up to our room and did the needful with a cheerful disposition.

Big Banana is a hotel which is highly recommended located in a happening place in SP where food is so easy to get with things to see around and about. I am amazed with the cleanliness in this hotel, from the bedsheet to the blanket and towel, all smell so good and clean. Their staffs are very warm and friendly and the rooms are not expensive at all. The founder of this hotel must be great minded people with such good concept. i sincerely wish them well and may they go far in their business.
