Best hotels & accommodations in Penang

We stayed for 6 days in Penang in the eastern oriental hotel. I will recommend everyone to choose for this hotel. It is worth more than the money that you pay for it. It is the only 6 star hotel in Penang and you notice it with everything. We arrived early in the morning and our room was already available for us. Check in is handled by the staf of the hotel all you ha...

One of the best hotels in Penang. Hotel is quite old nut you don't feel it at all as it well maintained and kept by staff. Location is really best near to Gurty walk with easy access to all the well known locations of the island. Car park is quite comfortable and there is always available parking bay.

This is a very good hotel. I love everything about it - its central location, the wonderful staff, the hardware (nice rooms), the non-smoking policy, the local food and taxi stand right outside the hotel, the free CAT bus you can catch at Komtar... Sunway Hotel has a non-smoking policy, though in reality there is 1 floor that allows smoking. The management could t...

We really enjoyed our stay with G Hotel in Penang, West Malaysia. Strategically located. Near to the huge shopping mall and the Gurney Drive Hawker Centre. We were greeted warmly by the staff upon arrival and they are very efficient as well. Good customer service provided indeed. We are truly impressed and it was such a good way to start off our 3-weeks long honeymoon....

St.Giles is tallest hotel in penang, view from our room is KOMTAR Building, and sea. My daughter love to stay in this hotel because they have free popcorn in reception. This hotel is very near to 1st avenue mall, and this mall connected to komtar and prangin mall, just walk turn right. If you turn left, we can get to GAMA supermarket, which have cheaper prices th...

I book a family room with Citiel express Penang Hotel. The room was separated into two room one queen size bed and two single bed. I like the concept of the room. The location is good got a lot of nice food nearby. If I go travel to Penang will book Citiel express Penang Hotel again.

It was awesome being a guest at The Light Hotel in Penang. It is not on the island itself. But for us this was a bonus because the surrounding was not so crowded. All in all it was a very good experience. Hotel/building, stuff, breakfast, environment were perfect. We really felt comfortable. We totally recommand this hotel.

I visted Penang often and have experienced staying at various hotels in Penang. So Far my preference is still Cititel Hotel which is very friendly and efficient. The check-in and checkout were hassle free (cannot recall the front desk staff names)and better still the greetings and smiles made me felt very welcome ... I love the car park located on Level 2 & 3. I can ac...

I am really touched by the smile and the services of the workers. We found Armenian Street Heritage Hotel when we have our refreshment beside. We are trying to look for a clean and comfortable room with good price while walking around Penang. Once we found Armenian, we thought that the prices will be really expensive. But once we get to know them, we realise th...

This was my first stay of this hotel and also the my first time that outside the Georgetown. Reason being choosen this hotel was due to Hari Raya festival and most hotel in Penang island were fully booked or very high price. The hotel is clean and I feel very comfort with my family staying this hotel. The breakfast is great as they serve vegetarian choices (i.e. vege ...

Reasonable price with excellent services and facilities. Reception was truly amazing. This comment isn't based on one staff's service but a few of them whom I have met throughout my short stay. Free parking furthermore. The rooms are a little old and the air conditioner in our room isn't working until we called up the reception several times before they send an enginee...

Our stay at The Royale Bintang Penang Hotel was a really enjoyable stay. The hotel is very conveniently located to anything and everything you would want to see. The rooms are clean and spacious.

our family of five stayed for one night only.The title says it all.it might not the best 4 star hotel in Penang. but is the most reasonable priced 4 star hotel. we enjoy our stay there. The staff and services are good. Etan hotel is not near the beach and town.The room were clean and the room smells clean and fresh the hotel beside the biggest and shopping mall.

Had a one night stay during my recent business trip. Everyone was saying that this is the best hotel they had ever stay of all the business trips we travelled around Malaysia. Back to this hotel, I would say the location is quite strategic and there is a shopping mall beside this hotel. This hotel is quite near to Penang bridge so if you opt to travel to the island for...

I travel to Penang frequently, it can be difficult to find a descent hotel there, they are either extremely expensive or not very nice. Many hotels in Penang are horribly run often with my bare minimum of a clean room not being met, and often the staff can be downright miserable. But the Flamingo is the exception. The have clean, nice rooms and a friendly staff. The po...

This is my second time staying at Lone Pine. We got there early and instead of waiting, we were immediately upgraded to a garden room, and yet, another great stay! I've always loved the breakfast buffet. There's a big variety, from toast to kuey teow goreng cooked when ordered, and cereal to nasi lemak with sambal udang. The garden and hammocks complete my short relaxi...

I stayed for one night, and ive been to a lot of hotels in penang but i can guarantee you its the best hotel i have ever stay! Beats all the 4/5 star hotels! The room is so clean and beautiful, with a sea view.The staff is very attentive and friendly. The breakfast buffet is delicious too! I would definitely choose this hotel for my next visit

I have been to all Lexis group hotel in Malaysia and so far it does not disappoint. This include Lexis Suites Penang. Pros: - Spacious room enough for my whole family (2+3 kids), - Clean private pool and sauna - Excellent room services - Great in-room entertainment - The staff told me that everything in the freezer is free, and there are 2 pack of m&m's and 4 can o...

We checked in around 2.30pm but were made to wait until 3.15pm because our room was not ready yet. We then learned that they actually wanted to give us one of the best rooms for the price we paid, hence the wait. Around 5.30pm, there was a knock on the door and they surprised us with an anniversary cake together with a card signed by the staff. We were humbly surprised...

Spent 2 nights and it's worth the stay in this Penang hotel even though the room is quite small. Near Komtar terminal and the hawker lane with Chinese/ Indian cuisines. They also have very friendly staff especially the guest relations officer (Martin is the name, I think) as he recommended places to go and speaks English very fluently.

I can say Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort is the most luxury hotel in Penang since we stayed 4 hotels during our trip. The lovely beautifully landscaped gardens and very nice beach just beside of the hotel are the most part what I love. You know the facilities and the service and the breakfast of Shangri-La is no doubt absolutely great. But I found only the ones who...

When I first booked the hotel, didn't know what to expect since it's located in a 'not so happening' area of Penang. What greeted me simply blew me away: a modern hotel with very friendly & attentive staff. Check in was very straightforward & since I had already informed the hotel about my wheelchair bound mum, they even had it ready for her! The staff are always smili...

Cheapest hotels in Penang

Location, price and charm make this place highly recommendable in our opinion. we'd stay there again no worries. We stayed at red court inn several times and stayed in dorms, twin room and king room. All of the rooms were well presented in charming old penang style. the bunk rooms are solid and very comfortable. actually all the beds were lovely. all rooms have aircon ...

Booked 1 night and stayed 2 more. Extremely good value in a gorgeous city. The place is a female student boarding house and we visited during university holidays so practically had the entire complex to ourselves. Full kitchen and coin operated washing machines perfect for those travelling on a budget.

It was out first time in Penang, Malaysia and we saw a lot of people recommending this place and so we booked our stay. The location was just perfect, it’s near most of the restaurants and food options. The staff were very nice to us especially in helping us navigating Georgetown. It’s also near the party place so we really had fun!

My Hostel Muntri was a great accommodation experience. The staff was extremely helpful and generous, I hadn't exchanged my money to ringett yet and they still let me check in and stay the night and pay the next day. It was a bit hard to find, but once I found it the location was great. I felt super safe and comfortable here and walking back at night while alone. The on...

I stayed at various backpacker hostel in Malaysia and this is the first time I encounter and A+ is the rate the Kimberley House deserve. The other's hostel room is smaller than Kimberley House. The rooms in Kimberley House is spacious . I have stayed here in different dorms eg Female dorm and mixed dorm. The bed are comfort and clean . There are resting place in lobby ...

Wassup hostel is seriously one of the best hotels in Penang. The staff was quiet friendly and we also had a great time. The room was clean and although we wanted to use the stuff for washroom they did provided it on time. The best part was that they had a pool and it was neat and clean although there were children swimming in it but still it was clean. The gamming/play...

This hostel is very good for stay it's cheap everything is allright Except toilet It's a little bit dirty but Good place mister Harn He's a prince of Smile He's a young man the reception is good ที่พักสะอาดปลอดภัยไม่ร้อน ฮอสเทลเล็กๆ เป็นกันเอง ห้องน้ำสกปรกเวลาอาบน้ำน้ำมันจะขังนิดหน่อยอย่างอื่นโอเค ราคาถูกมากๆๆ ตกใจ

We stayed one night on our journey south from Thailand and down through Malaysia. We received a warm welcome from the owner and his family. The entrance into the hotel, which is in a former Chinese Reading Club Heritaqe style building, was a cool relief from the heat outside. The rooms are quite basic, but sufficent ; the owner had only been open for business for a few...

I frequently travel to Penang once every couple of months and this is now my go-to guesthouse. It's a one-minute walk from Chulia Street, right in the middle of all the food stands, cafés, and restohookahbars, but far enough removed to be out of earshot from the din of the reggae dens and clubs. The building is heritage. I'm convinced the floors—beautiful tiling—are or...

This was the best place we stayed at in Malaysia! Super clean, comfortable, great location, the most awesome owner, who gives you all kinds of map of Georgetown and Penang and explain everything you didn't even know you want to know! We stayed at 8 hotels during our 3 weeks in Malaysia and this one is honestly the best one. Thumbs up and thank you very much for great...

Have a short gateway to Penang, and have chosen Peace Hostel for stay, meet kind staffs, who share a lot of infor and experience, is just like you met old friend here. Hostel located at center of George Town, easy access to any tourist spot. Recomand this hostel to all backpacker.

We are group of 4. We stay the mix dorm. Each bed provide power plug , small light, sheet cover to give you a little privacy plus have air conditioner! WiFi is Fair speed. Free breakfast and common area to chill out. Location is good. Delicious food just few minutes walk a away. Paul is helpful and give you a lots advice for travel at Penang. This is good hostel suit...

Fully satisfied with the rooms, Cheaper , worth it. Little difficult to find it as it don't have name board, but you can call the property telephone, Mr. Jack will assist you from that moment till you checkout. Very nice guy, who is maintaining and managing this accom. He will help you get Bike, food, locations,etc.

Stayed first in a private room which was very nice and comfortable bed. Quiet despite old building. Great location on Love Lane, but far enough away from the main bars so it was calm atmosphere. Breakfast nothing special, but still very nice to have especially if you're lucky enough to get some fruit. Really appreciate the drinking water refill station. We stayed again...

This is the same review i gave to trip advisor, they deserve amazing review because this hotel and the staffs are just amazingly wonderful. I'm a 21 year old girl came here with my boyfriend and 3 other friends. Went here with 4 of my friends. The cheap price come with nice bedroom. Suitable for those who dont have to transport but want to travel far around penang. W...

i only booked for two nights, though i was going to be in penang for six. i didn't want to take the risk of booking six, in case it was not good enough. after just one night i asked for an extension for the whole six and got it. after many months of travelling in asia, and staying in many guesthouses, this is one of the best. the room was clean with good air con, plent...

Rooms,floor,pantry all are perfectly cleaned. And its clean all the time. The cleanliness kills my tiredness back to the hotel during noon after a long journey towards the day. Bravo. Staffs are helpful. Didnt mind for the unavailablity of the toiletries because its far from cheap. Distance from attraction is not that far and to me its strategic because you can still w...

They've got 3 clean and hot water equipped shared bathrooms, so you don't need to worry about queue. It took us just 5 minutes from the hostel to Penang street art. There have been so many convience stores like & Eleven just right next door. The owner is very hospitable, friendly and helpful. My friend lost his phone on Uber, and she had tried her best to help us take ...

i was really impressed by the cleaning, staff courtesy, and complimentary services this hostel offers. we booked two nights and weren't expecting much from a small business like this; we'd been to other hostel and guest houses in the area previously ... all with disappointing results - dirty private bathrooms, rude personnel, and tiny common rooms. but we never complai...

We booked the rooms with little research as the Penang road trip was more of a last minute change in plans. We even got 50% off the normal rate. We arrived at the location with a little bit of trouble finding the lobby as apparently there was no check-in lobby - you need to ask security and they will get the person(the Coordinator) to assist you in checking in. Upon...

This is a lovely little guesthouse in central George Town. I am Solo Traveller from KL, initially the booking for this hotel just for two nights, i spent a great time in Stewart Houze, I ended up staying in Stewart Houze for two weeks. If you want to try to Japanese Style Accomodation - Capsule Dorm. Dont hestitate, go Stewart Houze, the capsule style with super sing...

Close to Red Garden foodcourt, to expensive hotels, so you can have e tour in Chong Fatt Tze Mansion, e beer in Eastern & Western Hotel, cheap shopping, best Penang Laksa in foodstalls, Indian food in front. The house is in a garden, so very quiet. The staff is extremely friendly. This is about the best you can get in get in Georgetown in this price category. We would...

Location wise is still good even though a bit far from Penang Road or Padang Kota Lama. Easy to find parking (and its free). Clean floor & bedding. Upon checking in, you’ll get new clean decent sized towel & blanket. Had toast for breakfast with variety choices of jam. Clean cutlery, glasses & cups. Very very very nice ambiance especially in the lobby area (tho a bi...

We wanted to experience staying in a butik/heritage hotel and there isn’t a better place than this one. Clara is probably the friendliest hotelier/owner I’ve come across. In facts, she e-mailed us asking about our journey to Penang a few days before we checked in. Such initiative a rare and she is a gem. Clara welcomed us in person when we arrived. Room are clean and c...

We really enjoyed our stay there. The best thing is the building itself as it is one of those old historical houses you admire when you walk the streets of Jeorge town. The rooms look nice, you are provided with free drinking water and basic breakfast.The only drawback is the thinness of walls, you can hear literally everything that's going on in neighboring rooms or h...

One of the best hostels I stayed in during my trip to Malaysia. The value for money is fantastic, the location is convenient (on a very cute street!) and the staff are friendly. The room was very comfortable, as were the showers and other facilities. This place also had the best free breakfast I have ever had at a hostel. My one and only complaint is that the staff gav...

First, we choose this hotel due as we saw it is near to most street art and easy access to restaurants . It was a Thursday when we arrived and not so crowded . The reception is friendly and helpful. Once we enter the room ,we were amazed by the cleanliness in the room (it is more than you can expect for what you've pay) ! For a germaphobia like me, I'm so satisfied wit...

Pros -check in check out was easy n no deposits required if u book online -helpful staff, friendly, attentive, great location -right outside of hotel is a very famous food street konlomee in penang n gets crowded every evening till midnight -located right in the middle of chulia st n it never sleeps Cons -3 storey high, no elevator.

I dont really have other experience with hotel in Penang, but staying in here is very very comfortable and i will definitely stay here again. Location is good (Penang is very small btw). Its a new hotel so its very clean and very cheap considering what you're getting.

What a superb hotel in penang. Nice sea view as you can see sun rise/set in front of you.The bed was extremely comfortable. You can sleep on it all day long if you want. Staff was friendly and helpful. Very high recommended hotel if you are looking for worth of money type f hotel.

1st time we came to Penang, we stayed here because of the location. It is at the very top of jalan penang and there are so many things around. Bars behind the hotel, places to eat within 2 minutes walk, street market within 3 minutes and at the end of the street market, shopping centers are pretty much accross the road! Although there are other hotels that are locate...

One of the Best Hotel in Penang specialy for the beautiful view, the design and very nice staff receptionist named Bernard very helpful. Hotel location is very comfortable specialy for couple and for medical trip you can find a lot of coffee shop like starbuck and coffea coffee, and you can enjoy your subway infront of the sea. Very nice place

I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality of this Hotel- I often travel to Penang and have stayed in quite a variety of places- I would say this is one of the best and for a good price. Easy to reach by bus. Pool usually good- fitness center was closed for repair. Most of the staff were extremely helpful. I'd recommend it and come again!

This hotel/resort is the best value for money hotel in Penang. We paid half the price of hotels in Batu Ferringhi but certainly received far far better than half the value. The hotel is brilliantly located at Tanjung Bungha, halfway between Georgetown and Batu Ferringhi with the regular air conditioned rapid bus service travelling in both directions. [Georgetown RM2 & ...

First time we had stayed at this hotel but we were very pleasantly surprised. We usually stay in older boutique style hotels in Penang, but decided to try Le Dream this time.

Safe & pleasant to walk & find the Landry shop where my ancestors set foot in Penang ie Kuala Kangsar Road.

The room was clean. New hotel. I stayed for 4 days 3 nights on the 4th floor, the room view was a carpark but its ok. Quiet room. There is room amenities from 5 star service, WIFI is strong. The best part is its near to Gurney Drive Walking distance around 10 minutes - 15 minutes. I recommend you to use Linkbike app ( a bicycle services) that allows you to get around ...

First time i came to Penang and the host had made it just perfect. Book here and he will give the best support (list of places to visit and eat). Good quality apartment. Area has 7-11 stores, places for drink and eat. Just 1 minus point, the thin security guy was not really hospitality. Everything else was just perfect. Thank you and highly recommend!

Firstly, I had stayed at this hotel together with my family members from 15 to 20 May 2019 and I must say that this hotel really made us feel like home. Not only are our apartments very spacious which provides us with more than enough space to place our belongings and also walk around comfortably but our apartments were also very clean and tidy. The simple wooden desig...

At checkin they gave us twin beds, but i requested a king size which they very quickly magically transformed our twin into one large bed. Location - omg convenient. Literally 2 mins walking distance to either Gurney plaza (left?) or Gurney paragon (right?). There's plenty of coffe...

Outstanding hotel, my the only regular visit hotel in Penang. Nice location at the hill side, away from the busy traffic/city. The check in was fast and efficient. The room was quite large, clean and toilet was spacious. The staff in the hotel are quite friendly and very helpful. The hotel also has a nice fountain or park for jogging. Nice pool and gym with lots of equ...

My stay with 23 Lovelane Penang Hotel is by far one of my best experiences. The hotel compound is well designed and decorated. I have stayed in few boutique hotels and I strongly believe this is the best boutique hotel in the area. I had such a great experience with the staff, food, and hotel surrounding. One of the hotel staff "UNCLE KI" had given us tremendous assist...

I just book this hotel on my short business trip, cause the reviews are good. When I reached there, it is 5 star looks, everything is clean, high standard room, clean bathroom etc. The front desk also very friendly. Everything is perfect, this hotel has a beautiful water park, not that big but good enough for kids to enjoy. Some suggestion: Please put few more hooks i...

This is a very new condo, just started on 2018. Perfect scenery, breath taking night view. Air-condition is powerfully enough, air freshener is just nice. Washing machine and dryer makes my wife happy. My 2 kids love the place, because of good WiFi and full of Movies in the TV box. Choosy as my mom also can't find things to complaint, except the 24 hrs convenient store...

We ended up staying here for almost 2 weeks cause we felt so comfortable. The hosts have been amazing and really helpful. They tried everything to make our stay perfect, always answerd right away and fullfilled us every wish we had. The flats are furnished really well, the beds are sooo comfortable and huge, everything works as it is supposed to. There is an oven and o...

We really enjoyed stay here. We are so glad that we didn’t book a hotel near batu Ferringih! Because its quite far to go anywhere from batu ferringih. Anyway, we just booked grab to georgetown, gurney plaze etc and it’s super cheap. Staff were friendly and helpful. We communicated via whatsapp! Hope to see you guys again maybe early next year! Thank you all.

overall comments was satisfied with the service that this homestay has given me.they even created a whatsapp group to update and notify me on the best place to eat or go for sightseing. the staffs are friendly and helpful. would recommend this place to friends and family

Although we booked for 1 night and only reached Penang at 11pm, the host was very accomodating and did not mind handing over the keys so late at night. The bedrooms were comfy, in fact the whole place is great and clean. The view from the 29th floor is breathtaking. My only gripe is that the location does not have much choice for a Malay family, so we ended up having K...

I was not informed that " HomeStay is Prohibited" here. As a result, we had lots of problem entering the swimming pool and gym. It a bit annoying with the guard come and tell that home stay people are not allowed to use swimming pool and other facilities. In some case, the guard chase some people. Furthermore, there are some many rules such as no children running, no m...

in the morning of my arrival day , a woman called me saying that she needed to transfer me to another apartment as it was double booked . She asked me to share a unit with another family . I insisted not to as I was with my baby . I asked for a refund as the fault was not on me but she said that it was hard to return me back the money so She moved me to a unit near Bay...
Traveler impressions of Penang
when all the large shopping malls, including the large new glitzy ones can begin to put toilet paper in the toilets the comfort of all tourists would increase dramatically.
It's an old town they use as a tourist trap. Shops touting junk everywhere, and the heat is breathtaking.
The shopping mall is very big. Plenty of entertainments because there are many shops, cafes and restaurants etc are available.
Well managed by state goverment compare the rest of the state from Malaysia. Believe that tourism & import export business bring great income to the resident.
1.Penang actually is a nice place to visit, if you visit downtown area possible you find more food places, however if you like sun and beaches, you may stay around that area to enjoy.
I like foods at Penang very much. Specially Asam Laksa at Air Itam. I like Mee Prawn, Curry Mee,Yam Rice, rojak n.

The food is marvellous, enjoy shopping, relax at beach & nice sight seeing. Bukit Bendera is enjoy & fund but the "Q" system has to be improved (quota for fast lane & normal Q) Vehicles to jetty "Q" has to be improved better - 2 lanes is needed to jetty to avoid any incident especially tourist outside Penang.

More about Penang
Penang's capital city, Georgetown, was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status for its fantastic historic neighborhoods. Highlights include Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion and its boutique accommodation, Fort Cornwallis, and the Old City Hall. The hotels in Georgetown are well located for visiting temples and museums.
The newest and most extensive beach resorts are at Batu Ferringhi. It sits on the northern rim of the island and features an enviable spread of seafood restaurants and boutiques along the beach. So many Penang hotels are found here that competition drives down prices, especially in the off-season.
Penang International Airport is one of the best in Malaysia, and it operates flights to major cities across Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. Peak season begins right before Christmas and continues through Chinese New Year, which usually falls in late January or early February. Hotels in Penang charge the highest rates at this time, with the best deals are offered to early bookers.
