Find hotels near Georgetown in Penang, Malaysia

we stayed 5 nights with the traders hotel in georgetown with our two kids (7 and 2) everything was perfect from the exit of the cab. the welcome was warm, the checkin smooth, the rooms very clean even-though it may need some refresh (eg the carpet start to be a bit old). we had a baby coat and the kind size bed was big enough for the parents and the oldest child. the breakfast was very good with an amazing choice. we had a room with the "traders club", providing drinks and snacks during the day and a aperitive-dinner between 6 to 8pm. it was very good as well and very enjoyable to have the possibility to have a quick diner at the hotel with the kids after a long day visiting. the location is great as well, close to 3 shopping malls, lots of bus regular lines and reasonable walking distance from the town center. the hotel provides a free shuttle to the beach and the shangri-la facilities, which is well appreciated by the kids. would we come back to georgetown, we would go back the the traders hotel !

we resides in mainland of penang and travel quite frequent to penang island. during the recent cny 2013 holiday, we attended a function in penang island that ended quite late in the night so we decided to stay overnight in penang island. after searching through agoda website looking for most attactive and reasonable offer, most convenient location, we selected sunway hotel georgetown. although the hotel is currently under renovation, we feel nothing discomfort, room's clean, service of staff is excellent, nice and comfortable... plenty of local hawker food and shopping centre around the hotel of which all within walking distance..great choice of hotel in georgetown!

We have tried several hotels in Georgetown before and this is the best! The location is perfect.. we can just walk to some famous food restaurants and convenient stores. The staff are super friendly especially to our 2 year-old daughter. The hotel did not have much activities for kids but we didnt care because we were there to explore georgetown not the hotel. Room is comfortable and clean.

This was a memory lane trip for me and first for my wife. Selected the Royale Chilean Hotel as best place to stay in Georgetown. I don't regret my choice, staff are the best, they are friendly, helpfully and efficient. The room was big enough for us, with large bed and we'll set out bathroom. Chose Breakfast on booking for each day and was not disappointed with the food available, this covered varieties for and culture or religion. I fully recommend this hotel to any traveller to Penang.

The bayview hotel in Georgetown is located right in the heart of Georgetown. Near to commercial hub, food courts, shopping malls, entertainment centers, historic and cultural landmarks of Penang. we booked superior room with breakfast. the breakfast served was great and suits our taste bud. the hotel staffs was friendly and services provided was good. we love this hotel very much that we will come back here again the next trip and will recommend it to our friends and family. we had a great trip here in penang. thanks to bayview hotel.

I stayed at Berjaya Georgetown hotel and here are my feedbacks: (1) Hotel is opposite the Adventist Hospital so it is very convenient for foreigners, especially Indonesia from Sumatra, seeking treatments at the hospital or relatives visiting the patient there. This is the only reason I see why this hotel can still 'survive' until now. (2) Check-in was smooth and fast. The front-desk was friendly. The lift was working just fine. (3) Although I booked a single room for 1 person, I was very surprise by how small the room was. (4) The room's carpet was not very clean and smell strange. (5) The air-condition keeps making this awful noise that it won't stop, and I was not able to control the temperature in the room as the controller was not working. (6) I was given a high floor as requested, with partial view of the beach front. But on the other side, it was blocked by this condominium next door whereby you can see every actions that is going on on the other side if you don't draw up the curtains, and vice verse. Really lack of privacy. (6) Another horrible noise was the constant slamming of doors in the morning or night when the gusts goes out or comes back. Not recommended for any businessman that needs a good night sleep. (7) The breakfast was the SAME every day. The coffee or tea was only available (from the kitchen) upon request. Overall my stay was rather depressing. Everything is OLD and not lively at all. One would expect Berjaya Group which has the famous Times Square at KL to have some kind of basic standards and reputation to maintain."

It's definitely not a typically luxurious hotel like E&O or as charming as Seven Terraces and other heritage boutique accomodations, but Le Dream Boutique Hotel, unlike any other three/four star boutique or some big hotels in Georgetown or Gurney, is five times better at customer service, complimentary perks (generous breakfast, free mini high tea, free flow wines in the evening and more - you have to stay here to find out!), friendly faces and genuine hospitality. With that kind of service and generosity, they exceeded my expectation. It's a neighborly, slightly groovy, modern boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Georgetown. The amenities, room interiors and bathroom are elegantly updated. Spotlessly clean. My favourite spot of the hotel would be the rooftop bar. It's cosy, spacious with friendly and attentive staff at your service. Great to wind down after a long, hot day in Georgetown. My only concern was the size of the room. Smaller than I'd hoped. But then it wasn't that important to have a bigger room for me. I realised, given the space, I didn't need the couch because it limited my access to the closet. I wish to throw names here for comparison sake, but Le Dream is definitely better than some of the big hotels in town.

We stayed on the 18th floor which had great views of the sea and the city below. It was easy to get there from the airport using Grab and checkin was easy. Although we didn't meet anyone, they provided a comprehensive online guide and Rachel was great in responding to our questions via Whatsapp. If you don't want to go anywhere there are good food options and an esplanade right below the condo. Otherwise Gurney Drive and the historical city of Georgetown are within a short drive. The apartment itself was clean, spacious, and self-contained with kitchenette, kitchen utensils, towels, sheets, toiletries, washing machine and other amenities. Highly recommended!

This hotel is pretty new, and hence the facilities are very new as well. Room is exactly as shown in pictures, and the sofa bed in the living room was absolutely the best. It was good that the TV had fox movies, so we had some time to rest on the sofa bed and watch movies at the same time. The hotel staff were very nice, check in was fuss free, and if you would like to extend your check out time, the staff were very chill about it as well. Usual check out timing should be 12pm, but guests are allowed to extend till 1pm at no additional charge. The location is very near to the happening areas in georgetown, with 3 large malls and a supermarket nearby, the accommodation is in a very convenient location. My friend and I really enjoyed our stay there! One thing if I had to nitpick would be that the level lobby is quite warm and ventilation seems weak, but since we only walk there when we go in and out of our accoms, its all good :)

My 15 year old daughter & I really enjoyed this hotel. The staff were pleasant & helpful while the garden & pool was lovely. This is one of the only 4 star hotels in Georgetown with a pool. It was lovely to take a dip in the afternoon to cool off after a day's site seeing. We had a small problem with our toilet on the first morning but this was fixed by the staff immediately. I also needed an adapter to charge my phone & within a few minutes of making the request the adapter was delivered to my room.We loved the layout & decor of our room as well. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a balcony room as well with a view of the garden. This hotel is close enough to walk to many of the city's sites. We would definately stay here again.

i was impressed by the courteous staff, always willing to help. i left behind my sunhat and was contacted to pick it up when i left the hotel. centrally located in georgetown, hotel royal allows for easy access to shops, eating places, places of interest which is all within walking distance. taxis and buses are available for the tourist to visit most places e.g. batu ferringhi beach, penang hill, snake temple and air itam pagoda.

An avid solo traveler myself, I have always worried about the selection of accommodation at an unfamiliar place. I was taken aback by how gracious the front desk and everyone who is working at The Edison Georgetown. From taking care of my late-night snacks to proactive employees , making sure my photographs are perfectly taken! (I couldn't remember the name of the employee who took my photos but I greatly appreciate his gesture), there is no doubt I have made the right choice! And not to mention the nostalgic experience was awe-inspiring - given the breathtaking Peranakan architecture design and a clever choice of delightful kuehs for tea breaks, I had the most memorable stay in Penang. Thank you 'The Edison Georgetown' for an amazing hospitality and generosity! (=

Campbell House is one of the best boutique hotels we have stayed in. The location in Georgetown is great, within easy walking distance to most of the sights, right in the heart of all of the fabulous food options that Penang has to offer. The Loft room (Rose) was spacious, bathroom well equipped and all beautifully designed and decorated. The entire hotel was fitted out and decorated with great aesthetic, in keeping with the charm of Georgetown and Penang. Breakfasts were a real treat, fresh juices, fruit, cooked breakfasts very delicious and croissants to die for! The owner, Nardya, is lovely and the staff are all fantastic. Campbell House is absolutely delightful and we will definitely be back!

I have stayed in the best hotel/mansion in my life. It was the best part about our trip. The mansion is spectacular, gorgeous and beyond beautiful. Every corner is stunning. Superb Breakfast - delicious and homemade jams were soooo rich and tasty. Our room was large, warm - chinese instrumental music playing all the time, great amenities, bathroom was so clean and beautiful - pool access to the room. Staff was very courteous. Every place in Georgetown is 5 mins walking distance. We lived like a king and queen at the blue mansion!! Worth every penny we spent. The tour to the mansion was so well explained and so so good. Im a fan of MR. Cheong Fatt Zte, the mansion he made and all the history behind it! We are definately coming back again. LOOOOOVE this place

As expats in Asia, we travel quite extensively and enjoy staying in boutique hotels wherever we go. Seven Terraces is one of the best we've found. The service is warm and genuine and the surroundings are exquisite. The restaurant (Kebaya) is one of the best in Penang and you definitely need to reserve a spot when you arrive or you may not be able to enjoy it...we found ourselves having to wander down the street to find an alternate place to eat. Fortunately, Penang has a number of outstanding restaurants and even an off-the-beaten path cafe will serve better food than you will find at most restaurants in Kuala Lumpur. While this is currently the #1 'family' hotel in Penang, I wouldn't consider it a 'young family' hotel given the peace and serenity of the surroundings. We have two young girls (ages 5 and 8) that are fairly well-behaved but we found ourselves playing the 'quite game' a lot to avoid disturbing some of the other guests. The hotel and staff couldn't have been more gracious or welcoming to the children, so it's merely out of respect for the rest of the clientele that I say this. If you have 'spirited' young children (between the ages of 3 and 8) you'd be better off staying somewhere in Batu Ferringhi where the children can really let off some steam. If you prefer to stay in Georgetown, than this is still probably the best choice for you!

Stayed 1 night in Yeng Keng as: 1) wanted to stay walking distance to Georgetown attractions, 2) easy car park availability. The hotel ticked these for us and added to that, staff were super nice and rooms clean. As the AC is not connected to the 'key' power, came back to nicely cooled room after walking around the area.. there is also a small dipping pool which we had no time to sample.. As this is a heritage building surrounded by mosques, there might be soundproofing issues for some. We came back around 11 to the sounds of lion dance drumming. This adds to the character of the place but for light sleepers, bring ear plugs or noise cancelling ear buds. Breakfast is included and it's a nice spread (buffet style) which is surprising for a hotel this size. Please take note that Georgetown hotels are required to collect RM2/night which is not included in the price mentioned (collected separately).

Every corner and every photo we took at Jawi was perfect! The frontage with the pretty fountain, small lobby & living room, and dining room with the long marble table were we got to interact w/ other guests over breakfast were all visual treats. Most important, we loved our Mansion Rooms on the first and second floor which were very spacious and quite a surprise considering the cost we paid per night. We would especially like to commend the Front Desk personnel of Jawi, Sir Ryan, for being very accommodating. All the men in brown who attended to us during our check in/out and daily breakfast meals were so kind as well. Kudos, too to their in-house cook who made such great Indian flat bread and samosas! These were top notch, and at par with what we have eaten at authentic, fine dining Indian restaurants. As for the location and despite the fact that Jawi is located at the buffer zone of Georgetown, we didn't have a hard time going around. Good hawker stalls, kopitiams, market areas, third wave cafes & malls are all either walking distance or just a 5- to 10-minute Uber car ride away. I have to agree to those who reviewed and have stayed at Jawi prior to us that the loud prayers at 5:30 - 6:00 AM were a bit bothersome, and would regularly interrupt our sleep. A few things to improve at Jawi are the following: 1) the yellow stains on white painted walls at the dining area, living room & hotel rooms, and 2) the quality of pillows (we woke up with neck pain several mornings). A few

We travelled with 3 young children (less than 4 yo) and a maid. Was trying my luck to not have to pay for extra bed since the room already have a long sofa, but we're told to pay for an extra bed for the maid when the staff saw our group. That's the only drawback of the hotel, but yep i guess it was acceptable. No reserved parking for guest. Not really a hotel for young childrens (no swimming pool or kid's club since it's a boutique hotel) but the staff was very friendly she played with my kids whenever she bumped into them. We lounged outdoor at the gazebo right in front of our door, had meals there and played games. Surroundings are small but we're fine with it as it was expected for a hotel in Georgetown. Room has a large bed, since it is actually 2 queen mattresses put together. So all 5 of us sleep at the bed, and the maid at the extra bed. Also love the fact that the tv is put at the bed. Nearby many popular eateries (Nasi Kandar Beratur, Roti Canai Argyll, etc). We just walked to go jalan2 cari makan, with our baby in stroller and kids. There's a live band at the small restaurant the hotel runs. Not a problem to us since the singing ends early. Next trip will try the other hotel - Noordin Mews the one with the swimming pool, just for variety.

We chose this hotel after reading the reviews on Agoda, and we were not disappointed. The staff were so friendly and super helpful and were excellent with asissting us, through their Visa Service, in obtaining our new visas for Thailand. The thai conslate was unexpectedly closed (not unusual!), and as soon as they realised that we were here to get new visas, they told us the consulate was closed the next day, and put in place a plan to get our visas sorted asap. This gave us the opportunity to tour Georgetown as we had a free day. There is such a mix of cultures in Georgetown - a very interesting place! The hotel itself was great. Large room, flatscreen TV with English channels, fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, hair dryer and a well equiped bathroom. The included breakfast was simple but adequate with 2 choices. We decided to have dinner in the hotel, and we very surprised at just how good the food was. The menu is a little limited in choice but what they do cook, they cook extremely well. The Beef and Ginger dish was fantastic and the beef melted in your mouth; andthe Szechuan Lamb dish was very tasty too.

After a month traveling around Malaysia and staying in cheap guest houses and 1 star hotels we splurged on the Mutri Grove for our last 2 nights. Although many times more expensive than the cheap 4 walls and a shower we felt it was money well spent and couldn't have be more impressed. From the moment we arrived to leaving by taxi the staff were exceptional. The room (6A) was well appointed, spacious, cool, comfortable, restful and carefully incorperated the traditional style of the beautiful period building. (Some throw pillows for the day bed would be a nice addition for watching TV and the TV itself was hard to hear on most channels even with the volume on max.) The hosted breakfast from 8am-1030am was absolutely delicious and provided many options. The day we left we started with fruit and yogurt at 8, returned to our room to pack and had a seriously good cooked breakfast at 1015. We arranged a late checkout and taxi at the desk for a 5pm flight and enjoyed the pool up to the last minute. The Mutri Grove couldn't have given us a better send off after a great vacation visiting Penang Island, Monkey Beach, Georgetown, Butterworth, Kampong Koh, Sitiawan, Lumut Hill, Paulau Pangkor, Segari Turtle Sanctuary, KL, and Melaka. The hotel is exceptionally clean and well cared for, the staff very friendly and helpful. If your looking for a very comfortable if not pricey small intimate hotel within walking distance of everything Georgetown has to offer you won't go wrong here.

I booked at East Indies Mansion hoping for the charm of a traditional Penang-Chinese merchant house. What I got was that and oh so much more. Nestled right in the middle of Little India you are literally on the doorstep of the best Georgetown has to offer. Just around the corner from the ferry and bus quays you can easily get around the island, if the delights of the old town are not enough. The house itself is immaculate, right down to the fresh cucumber water and delicious iced tea the wondrous Jess and Rajid serve you on arrival. The rooms are large and refreshing, with stunning original features but with all the necessary mod cons (including the all-important air conditioner). With gorgeous lounge chairs and an open communal kitchen out the back, you can really enjoy this heritage building at all times of day. They also offer great massage and laundry services for the weary traveller! However the best part of this hotel, hands-down, no contest, were the amazing staff. Jess was a constant source of information, as well as a consistently bright and positive welcome home. Anything you needed, any question you needed answered, Jess was there with a warm smile, usually with something you didn't even know you needed, like a cool drink! If you are really lucky he might even give you a song off his guitar! I would 100% stay here again, and would recommend to stay nowhere but East Indies. I can't even stress, or put accurately into words how we were enraptured by this charming house and the amazing staff, always smiling, helpful and who went above and beyond for their guests.

my first trip to georgetown penang, partly due to the beautiful art pieces that were commissioned during georgetown festival this year. and chanced upon this great residence beautifully located in the heart of unesco heritage site. boutique residence hotel, which i considered it more like a b&b or something like what i'd experience behind, "mingsu" or homestay, but this property looks much more classy than that. initially it may seems quite difficult to find the location as it operates less than a year. but after i'd explored the area around boutique residence and georgetown, i was delighted to say that my friend had chose a great place to stayed in. everywhere we wanted to explore is just walking distance away. when we reached the hotel, the lobby, which totally doesn't look like a hotel lobby, more of a shop with loads of antiques around it. after a quick check in, we were brought to our room, a 2-storeys loft room, which wowed us when we entered the room. there were living room area, dinning room area and a loft on the upper deck where a nice comfy double bed nicely places besides the bathroom. the breakfast served was basic but it was well enough to fill up my stomach, with local and western breakfast spread. during our 2 nights stay in boutique residence, the service rendered by the staffs and the boss was very good, and friendly. the level of service was far more better than a conventional hotel, which was cold. and because it was monsoon season when we went there, i was glad that we chose this comfortable place to stay in and chill during raining period. it was certainly a wonderful experience for me to stay in this place, and like what i always look out for when i choose a hotel, its the service that almost made an experience great and memorable. do check out this place if you have a chance.

This is a self-catered apartment and the management is excellent. While you might not be able to call down to the front desk, Rebecca (the owner) and Virginia (the apartment manager) are very accessible and helpful. The apartment still has little hotel shampoos/soaps etc. and there were some basics (bread, milk, yogurt, cereal, etc.) stocked in the fridge. We thought that was an excellent touch! The photos don't deceive-it is very large and has plenty of space-could sleep 5 comfortably and I noticed an extra mattress in a closet if you have more. For friends and families, it is a perfect layout. The bathrooms are even set up so one could shower, one could use the toilet, and others could use the 2 sinks all at the same time! I loved the style and it was great to stay in a place with personality. It's within walking distance of everything in Georgetown-no more than 20 minutes to anything central. It's right by Chinatown and little India. So much food and shopping!) The owners leave tons of material to help you find your way around town and figure out what to do. They have great advice! I also loved that there was a "feedback wall" in the hallway where tenants could write their tips. I would definitely recommend this place, particularly for families and groups. It is fun and funky and has more space than we needed! I actually wish I could live in a flat like this beyond holidays....Definitely original and memorable. (PS, if traveling by car, check the parking situation ahead of time by email or phone. Apparently, there are parking rules...BUT, while our car got 'shifted' due to a festival, Sweet Virginia drove us to the police station, the parking authorities, etc. until she found out where our car was! I imagine this wouldn't be a problem without a massive street festival or understanding the parking rules. :))

The staff is friendly & Helpfult. My 1.5 yrs old kid like to play with them. The location of the On Journey Inn is best, the end of that street got best road side stall for dinner or supper. Those food stall is more local & taste better than famour Anjung Gurney. The next street of hotel is the Heritage Preserve Area, which is very convenient to us. It is walking distance & we got a 3 seater bicycle & enjoy our family ride there. The hotel basically is clean & budget. It worth of money.
