Walking distance to the heritage area. The city also provides a free "hop-on hop-off" bus which takes you to most of the sights. Hotel generally clean and friendly staff. Special mention goes to Izham at Front desk; very patient, great attitude and helpful. Rooms in the new wing are spacious especially the bathrooms with separate shower and good seaview. The... More

My family was staying on Level 15. The rooms were spacious and nicely furbished. The spread of breakfast was good. Check-out was swift but check-in took a while. A couple of shortcomings include: (i) room amenities - only one toothbrush was provided per room, (ii) part of the ceiling wooden slabs outside the toilet in room 1505 was missing. Overall... More

Everything worked as expected except the wifi, which was decidedly patchy. Sometimes decided I'd logged in with two machines (which I hadn't) and had to be reset downstairs. Sometimes didn't want to play at all. Decor a bit faded but still clean and functional. Staff helpful. Can't comment on Spa or Breakfast as didn't use them.

Large hotel with good facilities.close to heritage area and 20 mins walk from ferry jetty.concierge will arrange travel but if you are on a budget might be cheaper to arrange directly!!taxis are annoying as they wont use meters and some will overcharge particularly when raining.rooftop bar/restaurant worth a visit.

I had booked this hotel as we were late in after a long day travelling. We took an Executive room which gave us fantastic views and access to the Premier Lounge near the top of the building. We had a great breakfast and excellent evening snacks in the lounge which was very much "colonial" in style; outstanding service, excellent fare... More

Stayed for a night. Very dirty rooms with old decor and dirty bathrooms. View from hotel balcony was great but other facilities were old and gross. The breakfast was very old school and not tasty, the rooms were dingy and bed cover had stains and smelled bad. Will never go back there again!

I visited Penang last October and stayed in a deluxe room in this hotel. The location is pretty good and the price is reasonable. The breakfast is pretty good. Rooms not very well appointed and furniture is old. Considering the price, about one third of what u will pay to stay at Eastern and Oriental Hotel opposite this hotel, it... More
