Clean hotel & good customer service”
What i like Hotel & room & the corridor along the room smells so fresh & clean. I can feel it Customer service is good! Very polite staff, helpful, & no delay in checkin process. Love it Huge lobby, enough elevator (no waiting), got purifier inside the elevator, they have swimming pool (not big) but ok, & other facilities. Room is clean, not small, everything is provided (keetle, hairdryer, iron, prayer mat, slippers, toiletries) love that they provide 2 chairs in the room & 1 coffee table so that we can have our meal or drinks while enjoying the view in the window. Our room is superior, we request sea view, it was so nice, the view is quite wide angle. AC was good, so cold. They also have ceiling fan in the room but we cant find which switch to turn it on. Parking is free Easy to get parking (maybe we came during weekdays) i dont know Location is very good. You can just walk around to get anything (foods / convenience store) no need driving There’ll be heritage fee Rm3 per night : fyi for non Malaysian dont be surprise, in Langkawi as well have the heritage fee. What I dont like: Bathroom is an old-style I think because the shower is attached to the bathtub (which is weird for me) - I keep thinking how many guest already peed inside the bathtub while showering hahahah. So I brought my own dettol & brush to clean the bathtub first before my family using it. And the bathroom very small, like bathtub really next to the toilet, and 2-3 steps to the sink. I dont recommend if you bring older people (like our parents/grandparents) because they will also have trouble using the shower in the bathtub, you know what I mean (standing inside the bathtub really is dangerous though) 2nd is for the price I think it should be package with breakfast. rm230-260 is quite pricey to just sleep 1night. Wifi was a bit irritating. Sometime it will disconnect & when I reconnect it just didnt exist for a while need to forget network & do all over again. Other than that I love

Wonderful stay”
No complain. everything was ok during our stay. A centralized air con but we can adjust temperature on our own. Free parking at the hotel premises. Lot of eateries nearby and all is within walking distance. Penang road famous laksa and chendol is just around 10min walking from the hotel. On the way, I found a unique bus stop with a small library. It located just beside Chowrasta Market. Everything was so Nice. Just too bad that Kirishima Japanese Restaurant is close on the day we arrive which is also my wife birthday. Initial plan is to celebrate my wife birthday in the restaurant. Luckily, we found Tokyo Bistro Japanese restaurant nearby. Safety and security are good. Friendly and helpful staff. Hotel appearance is nice and tidy. Room cleanliness is good with sea view. Room water tap flow are good and hot. I would definitely choose Cititel Hotel again in my next visit.

One of the best among hotel in penang”
Good location, friendly hotel staff, and clean hotel. Complementary coffee for hotel guest in the morning until 8.30am. The only cons : unfortunately they don't refill any milk for the coffee machine once finished, even is before 8.30am... Walking distance to most of the famous tourist spot and local food. Will definitely come back again.

Good location”
Staycation for daughter's birthday so that she could enjoy the bathtub. The bathtub was not that big. Been to other hotel that could fit me and my 3 yr old daughter. Got free parking. Staff is efficient. Location wise is good, you could go to many famous restaurants nearby by walking (eg. Sup Hameed, Roti Canai Transfer Road/Argyll). For shopping clothes you can walk to Sam's Batik. Only problem during my stay was the sink was clogged, it was fixed after complaining, but then it happened again. Other thing was the mirror in between toilet and room was not necessary, the toilet bulb so bright, so if you woke up in middle of night and went to toilet, the bright light may disturb your partner sleeping.

Room - We stayed in a sea view room with close to 180 degree sea view if not blocked by the Eastern & Oriental Hotel in front. Room is spacious with a full size bathtub and full amenities. Location - Hotel is nearby to Chulia Street at walking distance but very quiet at night. Food - Breakfast is decent with a good spread of varieties. Staff - Staff very generally quite helpful and polite. Parking - Hotel guests gets complimentary parking during your stay, just remember to get the parking coupon from the front desk.
