EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR A BUDGET STAY!”

Extremely happy with our stay in Heliconia. Check-in and check-out were like a breeze. I was attended by a young Malay lady who was very helpful & accommodating. Very strategically located. About 5 mins walk to hawker stalls and roughly less than 10mins drive to almost all famous spots in Penang town. It is literally situated in the heart of Penang. Heliconia will definitely be my choice for my next round of stay in Penang!

I am a frequent traveler to penang & this is my forth times staying in Heliconia. Polite staff, Very clean & comfy room (although the room size quite small), lift provided, toiletries, easy access to everywhere. Congratulations to the whole team. I Will come back for sure. To be improved: 1) towel quite aging 2) the water dispenser should be placed on every floor instead of just lobby area.
