Find hotels near Tanjung Tokong in Penang, Malaysia

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 checking in, we realized that the rooms were only 2 months old. It was fully furnished comfortably sleeping 5 adults(2 beds of which are comfortable sofa beds). What we liked about the hotel was the personal touch that Ms Tan gave to the guests. She greeted us with a plate of nice refreshing apples which the kids gobbled up in no time. At our feedback that the pillows in the room were a bit too hard for the kids, not only did she come back with softer ones, she apparently procured kids pillows for my kids to sleep on. Wow that was one of the best service we had received anywhere in Malaysia. Going beyond that, she even came with a mobile clothes rack after observing that we had clothes hanging around in the apartment. We were totally blown away. On the minor quirks - the keys to the apartment takes a bit of effort to unlock the door - but that was not the case for my friend's room - so guess only pertain to the room itself. Other quirks would be that there was no phone facilities between the rooms - the hotel did provide a mobile phone for guests to contact the coordinator but guess what - the interface of the phone is in Malay -and when we tried to call the coordinator - the phone did not work because the phone prepaid card had ran out of value - this was later fixed on the final day but we did not use it at all. The location was alright if you have transportation to move yourself around - it is not far from places like Gurney drive or main town area - normally takes us about -10-15 mins on average due to heavy traffic. Would come back again.

Wow the room far exceeded to what we expected. To be honest we were expecting very little. It was very clean and roomy. We had a superior suite 2 bedroom apartment that was sufficient for 2 adults and 2 children. Charlie who is the person that runs these apartments was easy to contact at all times and was extremely helpful, which made our stay awesome. Nothing was trouble for him. He contacted me several time to make sure all was going well. Unfortunately he was away on business so I did not get the pleasure to met him but anything that was needed he sent the maid to attend too. I would suggest that you organise a airport transfer through Charlie like we did as It may be a little difficult to find the entrance for the first time. The only thing that was a little disappointing which is no fault of the hotel is that it is on top of a shopping center that 90% of the shops have gone. There is a supermarket and coffee shop thou. It is about a 15 min walk to gurney where you have all you need. Out the front you have bus stops that will take you just about anywhere you need to go. The buses are fully air con, cheap and easy to use. Plus come very often. A trip to Batu Ferringhi is only about 2rm. I suggest going down there for the night market and some awesome satays. Thank you again Charlie for making our stay a wonderful experience. See you next time :)

Clean and spacious rooms and helpful staff right on the beach. Yes it's a little out of the way but being in amongst the locals is great. No there's not a pool or a bar, not even a fridge in the rooms (it's downstairs in the communal room). If you're looking for a standard hotel and intend to sit at a bar or in the pool, this maybe isn't for you. The car park at the front of the hotel can get crazy over the weekend, again just part of the charm. I've read reviews with complaints regarding the smoke from the incense from the Chinese Temple next door, this is part of the local culture, if this is likely to upset you, you might want to find something closer to McDonalds. But if you're looking to embrace Penang and Tanjung Bunga, this is the place to be... it's rates are great it's a short walk to Tesco for supplies, head out to the main road and turn right for a short walk to Viva Local Food Haven for some great food options or walk along the beach to Straits Quay. 8 Boutique By The Sea Hotel is not far from Fettes Park for more local markets. A short taxi ride to Gurney Drive and about halfway between Batu Ferringhi and Georgetown so overall a great location. Give it a try, you might be surprised. I've stayed here 3 times so far in the last 16 months and the only time I will stay elsewhere is when 8 Boutique By The Sea Hotel is fully booked.

The apartment was very clean, quite spacious for 3 adults and a baby. It had it's own kitchen and fridge. You can get any better location, it is right above the shopping mall, restaurants, BY the Straits Quay Marina. Cabs/Bus were right in front of the building! And big Tesco right is 5 minutes walk away. We like Home-Suites by Marina due to large living space, very quiet in the apartment, as it is facing the back of pubs and restaurants, well equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture, big screen wall TVs, huge terrace, 4 seated dinning/outdoor table and other outdoor furniture. They offer a lot of free services include cleaning/linen, toiletries, WiFi is alright. There is a huge swimming pool, shadow gazebos, gym we used a lot. The best preference is very quiet residence. We could take sun bath and swim every day alone because only few apartments for rent here.

I was booked for Aria gurney @ the landmark building located at Tanjung Tokong. But at the day i check in was at the H residence located at Kelawai Road without any notices in advance until i called them for my arrival. Aria gurney @ the landmark is studio apartment, but the H residence was a big condo unit and i have to shared my unit with others. Without tv in the room, other people partying at the leaving hall at the 2nd night . That was my worst experience.

Madisson ensures we have a smooth check-in & check-out. The unit has 2 bedrooms & a smaller room with sofa-bed. 5 new & powerful aircon-sets well-positioned in the bedrooms & living area. Awesome view from the balcony! Super comfortable beds and pillows. Spacious living area where we can chill out & watch TV as a family (Wifi connection a little sluggish at times & requires some patience to operate the media box - the only con about this unit). Not just the usual bathfoam & shampoo, hair conditioner was also provided. Plenty of sockets around for charging phones/laptops. Kitchenette sufficiently equipped for those who wants to whip up a simple meal. Can feel the owner's effort to make every guest have a great experience by the attention they pay to every little details. Enjoyed my stay there so much that i don't even feel like leaving the place. Thanks Madisson!

As soon as I opened the door I knew that I had made a good choice. The condo appeared exactly as in the photos which is rarely the case. I felt immediately at home. The location was very good . There are dozens of restaurants , a good grocery store, bars,coffee shops and a money exchange within a few minutes of walking. The building is very secure with guards at all access points. It was very easy to get around using Grab (10 ringit to Georgetown) and also an excellent public bus. Adrian was helpful when I needed it. I would return in a heartbeat!

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 outside the premise not able to replenish the Chinese medicine she wanted. My dad taking whole day looking outside balcony trying to figure out the geographical landscape with the past 30 years back of mind maps... The idea of group manage is the key of success of the satisfactory of this condo staying. If I really want to pick what is the little drawbacks is the facilities of the condo is a bit less, and hard to find without proper instruction and explore...

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 one electric cooking plate which was fine for us and we cooked everyday. Also the pool is great, the gym is very well equipped and everything is clean. We felt like home and it was even hard to leave :) Thank you for everything!! Julia and Alex

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 KFC. Finding breakfast is also a problem as the many stalls within walking distance is not really Muslim friendly and KFC only opens after 10am. Despite the minor setback, the host and her brother are very friendly. I wouldn't mind staying here again or recommending to others.

Stylish decorated and cozy house with spectacular sea view overlooking Gurney Drive. Location wise is pretty convenient regardless you are driving or not as Precinct 10 is just next to the apartment if you dont feel like driving out for food,just walk about 2 mins. Uber is a good choice if you are lazy to drive around. Will come back again in the future if we happen to visit Penang and will definitely recommend our friends and family about this lovely place with awesome sea view and sunrise view!

We stayed for 4 nights and was very happy with the double queen bed on both room. 5 stars!! The room is clean and it has all the things that you need to stay here. Washing machine was an added item as we can wash our clothing as such we minimize our luggage. Everything is good for us here. Very spacious hall and with SUPERB view of the sea and in fact the whole of Penang. From the front to the back from this apartment you can literary see the whole of Penang. There are 3 toilets and the there is Sofa Bed and dining table and this make a complete house. There are 2 air-cons on the hall and each room has one air con. Very generous. We would stay in this apartment when ever we visit Penang in future. Being an apartment there is no daily room service/breakfast and this is the only disadvantage. Location not so near town and you need a car but there are restaurant/KFC/24h Convenient shop/cold storage nearby.

Pros: 1. Clean rooms 2. Very friendly caretaker 3. Apartment is well refurbished; all new appliances 4. Very near to Batu Feringgi night market 5. Quiet place (with occasional motorcycles jetting by, but negligible) Can be improved: 1. provide a stool so that younger kids can access the 2. Water heating system takes a while to heat up 3. Water pressure in the bathroom Cannot be helped: Distance to places like Tanjung Bungah, Pulau Tikus etc
