Find hotels near Seberang Perai in Penang, Malaysia

it would be a challenge for any hotel to give you something both good and cheap at the same time but somehow se1 did it. as a very fussy western traveler i never intended to stay in such a low priced hotel because we all know the reputations. my usual hotels were booked and i had to gulp hard and try this--not to mention staying in a hotel with no customer reviews at all. but my, my, what a surprise. everything is brand new and sparkling clean, the beds are high quality, flat screen tv, simple but well-appointed rooms and baths. though the rooms are small there is no feeling of claustrophobia. everything one actually needs is already provided, i didnt have to ask for anything so i had no contact with the staff at all. but they are friendly and eager to please, anyway. i came by motorcycle and they happily parked it right in front of the hotel and watched it all night. there is plenty of security. the location is on a very busy, noisy road but inside the rooms its dead quiet. i had a great, restful nights sleep and no surprises or complaints at all. i suggested they add water boiling kettles or at least have some available for use. there is no lower-priced hotel in penang, this is the rock bottom, yet i would be very happy to stay again and i really applaud their good work and effort to bring people an extremely good value--the best in penang. its not simply a good value for money, its a plain good hotel and they are fully deserving of your business when you only need a simple, clean, safe room and are willing to skip facilities. there is no lift but this was not a problem for me, personally. i wish them great luck and im certain i will be seeing them again. dont be afraid to take a chance and book this, you wont be sorry.

Pros: service by the staffs were fantastic, very accommodating and helpful, very polite as well (eg: recommended us nearby malls, offered to book grab for us, and lent us iron). The hotel was also very clean, abd near an awesome eating place called Lepak Cafe. Cons: though there’s a lot of cons in terims of facilities - 1.NO soundproofing rooms (can hear everything the other people are saying next door) plus we can’t sleep due to that 2.NO complimentary shampoo (just two bars of soap) or coffee/tea and no available electric kettle for hot water - unlike other budget hotels with similar pricing 3.A lot of guys “lepak-ing” outside the hotel door which is dangerous for women (even during daylight) Due to that, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone except for guy travellers. Though, I would like to praise the staffs for going the extra mile and always smiling (💯good service), but facilities could be better. Thank you!

When I placed the booking, I didn't put high hopes. Maybe because of poor feedback by previous guests. However, to our surprise, our experience is very outstanding. It's a really value for money. I bring my family for a short stay here. Almost everything is good, from room, toilet, lobby even the Cafe. The free breakfast also has variety of food. Almost the same variety you can get from other 3 star hotel It is located in a matured commercial area. So you can find convenient store, mamak (obviously), Maybank within walking distance. Nasmir is popular with their mamak restaurant. So maybe that's how they improvised their service from time to time. However I would like to comment on 2 things only. 1. The wall clock battery should be replaced. 2. The corridor on the 2nd floor is smelly because of smoking guest. 3. Wifi speed is decent about 1.2Mbps download. Eventually my 4G hotspot is faster.

My stay was pleasant. Seberang Perai is on the mainland and on your first trip to Penang you might like to stay on the island where there are more things to do and places to visit. On another visit, for a different experience, Pearl View Hotel would be a good alternative. The buffet breakfast is great and for your other meals, the hawker food just down the street from the hotel is fabulous. Penang local fare like fried koay teow, lobak, etc is easily available and of a high standard. The hotel is clean, staff members friendly and it's centrally located for the area. The hotel has spacious car parks.

This is our first visit to Bukit Mertajam as we always visit only Georgetown. We check in late 10:40pm on Saturday still worry there will have problem on checking in (no staff attended/ can’t get the room we want) however their staff are so attentive and get us room check in with my friend under different booking on the same level and our room just beside each other. Fulfil all our requests :) Security is good as our room card is only allow to go the floor we stay. The room is new and clean, bed is comfy and large, In love with the big ceiling shower head in bathroom! The build in hair dryer will stop after 1mins use however hotel do provide a portable hairdryer upon request which I feel the sincerity on their services! We stayed for 2 nights and their Housekeeping done their job well! Nearby have TONS of restaurant, bar & cafe! Royal Tea which beside Starbucks has the best bubble tea & coffee ! The location is just beside a highway and it’s quite convenient to go nearby local food stall too! Overall, we enjoyed staying at iconic and definitely will stay and refer Friend and family when we visit Bukit Mertajam again:)
