Right in the middle of the small city and many of the popular hot spots are within walkable distance. Mr Liou, the owner of the hotel, is very nice and he gave us a lot of information on travelling around. Made us feel like home when staying at Penang. ##### KM Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil Dec 5, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good service Staff are well trained and seem genuinely concerned that you have a pleasant stay. Rooms are clean and reasonably spacious for the price. A few KMs from the centre of Georgetown, but there's a mall nearby ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil Dec 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value if you don't mind the area Friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Rooms big enough for a couple of days, and cleaned to a good standard compared to other hotels in Malaysia. Hotel located a couple if KMs from the centre with limited local amenities and noisy local karaoke until 1am. I'm not bothered by this, do would stay again ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Frank, JB Nov 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hotel is near to food court. ##### Frank Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### seungmi, 쿠알라룸푸르 Nov 18, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### 신중한생각이 필요합니다. 방음이 심각하게 되지 않습니다. 직원들의 편안함과 서비스의 만족도는 높습니다 ##### seungmi Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### yoshino Sep 11, 2018 #### 観光優先寝るだけならOK クアラルンプール行きバス停にも近く、良かった。 ##### yoshino Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott Aug 21, 2018 #### Off the beaten path but well worth the effort A very clean, apparently family run hotel with attentive service. Our room didn't have any windows but that was almost the only complaint I could imagine for this place. There is a famous char kway teow stand immediately next door which was excellent but be prepared for a long wait. The rooms were clean, the ac, hot water and wifi worked well and there was lots of places to eat in the immediate vicinity. A lot of bang for the buck. ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yang Aug 6, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Friendly staff. There is kopitiam n the famous Char Koey Tiau nearby. There is laundry service at the hotel. Will definitely stay at this hotel again when I visit Penang again. ##### Yang Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### maria, indonesia Feb 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel with great staff.. SO hotel staff was super friendly and helpful. Once you arrived at the lobby they greet you warmly, let you choose what kind of pillow you want; they have microfill, cotton, and pearl. Any necessity needed during your stay you may ask the front office. Room was spacious for 3 person, however if it possible avoid the room facing the road, during sunset, the sun faced right into your room and it’s makes the room temperature get hotter even you turn on your aircon. The location itself close by several spot of food heaven, breakfast at jalan Kuantan, famous char kway teow in jalan Siam, or maybe the food stall right in front of the hotel, even on 11pm still full of customer.. ##### maria Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### mus, penang Feb 8, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### satisfied.. having nice and good stay for that price..so kind and helpful staff..!! will be better if there is some food/snack/drink offered at reasonable price.. ##### mus Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 6, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort overall are good but limited parking space.. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 18, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Service iin action.

We felt welcomed and the staff was well prepared, knowing my name when we arrived. He even let the ac on in our room to cool it down. Very nice gesture and we appreciated it very much. Three of us stayed in one room and the room is very comfortable. We love the free shampoo and soap bar and having to choose our pillows was a unique, fun experience. We love that there's a hot and cold water dispensing machine just outside our room. Wifi was fast, room was nice and quiet, and we're very happy. We'll definitely recommend this hotel and we'd stay here again when we visit Penang in the near future. ##### Debbie ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Luxury Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d602873-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Renew](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hotel-Renew.h1399669.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Nashville](https://www.expedia.ca/Nashville-Hotels.d178291.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Puerto Plata](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Puerto-Plata-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6246735-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-San-Francisco-Downtown.h31419890.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Puerto Vallarta](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d180016-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Punta de Mita](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-De-Mita-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d601729-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Tournament Capital Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Tournament-Capital-Centre-Hotels.0-l6230354-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Hotel Macdonald](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Fairmont-Hotel-Macdonald.h1565.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantic Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Romantic-Hotel.0-0-d178314-tRomanticHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Whitefish](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitefish-Hotels.d1199.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Monte Carlo](https://www.expedia.ca/Monaco-Hotels-Fairmont-Monte-Carlo.h27281.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bali-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d602651-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels near Bruce Peninsula](https://www.expedia.ca/Bruce-Peninsula-Hotels.d6339924.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Boutique Hotel Glacier](https://www.expedia.ca/Grindelwald-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel-Glacier.h21559650.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (YXU) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxu/yeg/london-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lax/toronto-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Seeduwa - Katunayake (CMB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cmb/toronto-to-colombo) > > [Flights from Kamloops (YKA) to Zürich (ZRH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yka/zrh/kamloops-to-zurich) > > [Porter Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Porter-Airlines-Flights.cPD.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mco/toronto-to-orlando) ### Activities > [Things to do in Coquitlam](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Coquitlam.d10583.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Mississauga](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Mississauga.d7954.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Zambia Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Zambia.d199.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Fort Myers Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers.d602729.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Armenia](https://www.expedia.ca/Armenia.dx11398) > > [Visit Markham](https://www.expedia.ca/Markham.dx10353)
