    Best Budget Hotel in Penang”

    As someone who pays attention to services and amenities offered by a hotel, I can say that The Southern Boutique Hotel provided me with one of the best staycation experience at a very pocket friendly price. Not only the room is aesthetically pleasing, the staffs were also really friendly, polite and very attentive. If you’re looking for a place to stay, do consider this place as it is located in the heart of Georgetown where everything is within walking distance!

    This hotel does not have a designated parking lot. However, Staff was helpful to let us know that a parking space nearby is available with cheaper price paid to the hotel compared to the original pricing paid to the parking lot.

    From the foyer to my room, the hotel was immaculately clean and visually appealing. The room is exactly right for two people,and the toilet is stunning and the staffs are well trained and professional. The hotel has adequate conveniences such as an iron and microwave outside the hallway. The main disadvantages of the hotel are that is rather noisy due to its strategic location in town,and there is no guest parking,however there is private parking opposite thd hotel for rm2 per hour
