I'll DEFINITELY stay here again!”

Very clean and comfortable bed, pillows and blankets. Strong and hot showers, with the essentials toiletries provided. Hair dryer works very well too. TV has got many good channels. Sufficient hangers for a 1 night stay as well. Room is not very spacious but I am able to utilize the space under the TV dashboard to lay out my large luggage. Did not get to use the Jacuzzi. Did not manage to claim my welcome drink as I am out during the claimable hours, then again it's just the usual soft drinks, nothing fanciful. Free ice cream is good but just choco mint and vanilla flavours. Free snacks are oreo, choco cookies and some other biscuits but I am really too full to try them. But the 24hour coffee machine is good. Love the cold and hot water dispenser! Breakfast buffet is ok, as there are just too many awesome food around it! Haha, hence very good location for amazing Penang local delicacies, which are walkable. All in all, I would stay again if in Penang!

A lovely and comfortable budget stay in the heart of Penang”

We have throughly enjoyed our stay in Georgetown. Chulia Mansion is on a street that turns into a party at night yet somehow stays pretty chill, where you can still feel set back safely from the action. We enjoyed the comfy king size bed, the views from the roof, the mini fridge, the smiles, the helpfulness of the staff and the perfect location for walking. On the down side, someone had been smoking in the room before we got there, the pillows are too thick and lumpy (great for lounging but less so for sleeping) and the aircon is hard on the sinuses. We loved the fresh fruit at breakfast, the decent coffee and the water cooler in the hall. Overall, this is an excellent hotel for the price and I would definitely stay again. Upon becoming accustomed to Penang, this hotel is lovelier every time you enter. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff who make the heart of this place, it makes all the difference!

Great locations!!!”

The location of the hotel is amazing, just minutes of walk, we can reach many popular places of interest and popular food places. The popular Chulia street night market is just less than 5 minutes walk from hotel. The popular street art street is just 10 minutes walk away. Every night we are entitled to 2 glasses of wine/ beer/ soft drinks and free flow of ice cream from 5pm onwards. The ice cream is a super comfort food from a day walking under the penang sun!! Only down side for me is the air con in my room, it can get a little warm because it's not cold enough. I'm staying at room 402. The safe was not working so the staff pass us a key, which we are fine. Room is clean very well everyday, mop and towels change daily. The front desk staff are very friendly too in my 4 days of stay there. Thank you, i will bring my parents for my next trip.

Excellent hotel”

The hotel is in the heart of Georgetoen and all the main attractions. The rooms are spacious and clean. There are water filters on every floor so no need to buy any plastic bottles. Staff were really helpful when we were leaving and let us print a number of items for our Thai visa applications. Breakfast was interesting, western and Asian cuisine but the western was things like pasta. I loved the free tea, coffee and biscuits through the day and also a free drink in the bar in the evening. The roof top bar is a nice place to chill.

Also the room is soundproof cos there is a mosque beside the hotel. The free breakfast is fantastic, was impressed with the full spread and so free coffee, milo, tea, expresso etc. all day with nice bickies. Will definitely come back to stay, nice jacuzzi and rooftop view. Free 2 glasses of wine per night or you can have soda and ice cream. Wonderful place!

Got free room upgrade which is really good! The room is clean and comfortable. Free wine every night at the rooftop bar which is nice. Breakfast is alright. And nearby there are many bars, cafe and local eateries within walking distance. If there is 1 thing that i dislike, it would be the toilet. Somehow the water pressure is really weak during my stay, according to the hotel there is some issue and they are going to fix it. But overall it's pretty good.

We booked this on-line last minute and were really pleased with our choice. The hotel is located close to all attractions. The rooms are spotless and airy. The breakfast choice is extensive and the roof top bar was an added bonus. Listening to the evening prayer calls at sunset was amazing. You get a free drink each evening. All of the staff went out of their way to make our stay perfect. A special mention to the roof top barman, Khair, who recommender some places to eat and kept us well supplied with drinks and bar snacks. Wish we could have stayed longer

We have stayed at Chulia Mansion hotel every time we come to Georgetown. Amazing little hotel situated close to everything. The best part about staying at Chulia is all the extras that are included in the orice. Best breakfast, free icecream, and a complimentary glass of wine in the evening is fantastic. We also want to compliment the staff for addressing any needs that we required during our stay. They responded quickly and always had a big smile. Will always stay at Chulia when we return to Georgetown.
