It might have been ok once but is now looking very shaby. Room safe was broken, wet patch on carpet due to leaking ac, rotten bathroom door frame, street noise and shower took an age to run hot. Staff were friendly and did their best. ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Low Aug 12, 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Bilik tak ada tingkap Check in time tak boleh awal mesti pukul 3pm baru boleh masuk, kalau nak see view check in time don't forget bagi tau, saya pun tak tau tak ada view sudah masuk bilik cari tingkap tak ada, turun reception tanya dia kenapa saya booking satu malam dua ratus lebih satu malam pun tak ada tingkap punya kah.

Ordered 4 rooms online with hotels.com, frontdesk argued with us it was only one room. Had to made an international call to hotels.com to clear things up. Seems the front desk didn't understand the booking we printout/brought with us when it was clear we ordered 4 rooms. Room conditions was pretty bad, bathroom was clogged, etc. The one good thing is that it is located strategically in one of Penang's main tourist site. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### azwani Jul 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities สะดวกมาก หาของกินง่าย ใกล้ร้านสะดวกซื้อ ##### azwani Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Philip Puay Koon May 17, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Booked into 2 rooms on 10th floor which both were warm due to hot spell. But reception not proactive to offer lower rooms until I requested. Because of my complaints and changed rooms 3 times I believe a certain staff took personal action to reconfigure my key every day. Thus, I had reset my key. Hope management will look into my case. ##### Philip Puay Koon Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### BOON KHIM Jul 22, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness Booked three room request high floor when reservation but all arrange in First floor,the towel disrepair & smelly too. ##### BOON KHIM Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### James Apr 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Old hotel conveniently located It is a dated hotel that has seen better days. Having said that, the service staff is attentive and helpful. Location is good. Carpark is opened in the back. The rooms are old but OK. Beds too soft like the pillows. We heard noise from the karaoke next-door til after 11pm. Then there is the noise from I think the external aircon condenser that's making a lot of humming noise every few minutes for about 15 secs each time. There's no noise from the road. Also didn't hear the prayers from the nearby mosque. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C2B6818088DBAF1DF01662267EEE0186E43868241650624345103.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### James Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Phoon Jan 10, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Bad experience stayed in Merchant Hotel ##### Phoon Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mithrra Dec 20, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities awesome stay ##### Mithrra Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ทำเลทีของโรงแรมยอดเยี่ยม ไปไหนมาไหนก็สะดวก ห้องพักกว้างขวางไม่อึดอัด มีน้ำดื่มให้บริการทุกวันๆละ4ขวดเพียงพอ แต่อาหารเช้าน่าจะเปลี่ยนบ้างผมพัก5วันอาหารเช้าซำ้ๆทุกวัน เบื่อเลยครับ ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities clean, good air con, location good, good services, friendly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel Location one thing that this hotel has compared to many other hotels is that the location is very convenience and really centre to the places of attraction. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Elsie, Sabah Jan 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Convenient but depend on the purpose of visit there ##### Elsie Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anonymous Dec 25, 2018 Liked: Room comfort Spacious room with comfy bed.

Room & toilet very clean. ##### Aini Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### W.William, Singapore Jul 10, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### 1 hour check in Every staff just looked at each other and their manager expecting the manager to attend to all guests while they are chatting. By every staff it means 5 or 6 of them in the front desk just not helping with the check in. The entire check in process took 1 hour. Room is reasonably clean and location is good though. The manager tried to be as helpful and polite as possible though. I think the hotel is overstaffwd for no obvious economic reason. Perhaps the cost reduction can be shared with guests if the hotel will. ##### W.William Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 30, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everything is nice and perfect worth the value for money.
