Very satisfied with my stay! :)”

I stayed at Chulia Heritage Hotel for 5 nights and I was very pleased with my stay there. The frontdesk, housekeepers and security guard were all very friendly and helpful! I feel very welcomed there. I was particularly surprised by the daily housekeeping done and cleanliness maintained by the staff (bathing towels were changed, bed was made, floor was swept, 2 bottled waters were replenished daily) - thank you! The location was good too because many good eateries were in walking distance. Since the hotel is not located directly along the streets (the hotel entrance was a driveway leading to car parking space or drop off/pick up point), it provided great privacy away from the bars at night as well. Only downsides were that shampoo and body soap were not provided and you may be able to hear other occupants talking along the corridor if they are loud and inconsiderate — I would say the former is manageable as family mart and 7-11 are both very near to the hotel while for the latter, do try to be considerate and lower down your volume for others. Also, do take note to count and check the amenities in your room when you check in, as front desk will do a check during check out and may charged for missing items or stained linens. Overall, I will definitely return to stay here again if I come back to GeorgeTown! :)

Cheaper and comfortable”

This hotel is beautiful at the night. The environment look like expensive hotel. It is cheap but the room is big enough for my 1 year old daughter, my husband and me. It is also quiet and very comfortable. Staff sooo friendly. But you will hear people running/walking upstairs. Only during morning. At night it is quiet. My room have window but there no view. When open it, you will see the wall.. My room also near my car. No need to take elevator to go to my car if i forgot something. Very convenient parking. Cheap hotel with parking space. Also got bicycle to use. It is nearby attractive place and just ride your bicycle. But since I got little girl. I just walk around to Line Clear Nasi Kandar. It is sooo near.. food also good. This hotel also got discount voucher if you want to go upside down museum and tunnel museum. Make sure to take it at the lobby counter. Very recommended hotel.

First things first: they have bicycles for rent to guests, at Myr50 as deposit, but technically, free! Too bad we got to know on our last day. Place was neat and has it's own peaceful feel. Their shared bathrooms are also very nice and well equipped. So yes, definitely would recommend for everyone to check this place out. Walking distance to Central Penang. Cheap and good. We got a really big room for very low price. :)
