Dock så var rummet väl ljuddämpat och vi stördes inte av ljud. Det jag kan anmärka på är att badrummet inte hadde någon fläkt eller ventilation så det blev väldigt fuktigt när man duschade även om man öppnade fönstret. Då duschkabinen inte var helt tätt vid dörren så blev det väldigt blött på golvet om man inte var försiktig när man duschade. Hade också gärna önskat ett större kylskåp. Området ligger ca 15min från Komtar bussterminal där du kan ta bussen till alla möjliga ställen på ön. Det ligger även en del affärer och matställen längs med gatan utanför hotellet. ##### Karim Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Peter Jurgen Lutz Nov 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness The property is very well located with lots of food outlets around. All over the facilities are OK. The mattress was worn out at one side and killed my back. Otherwise the room was fine. Upon arrival and on first evening we had to experience the one staff that was arrogantly friendly, slow and not helpful. The 'why do you bother me' attitude. All other staff was excellent. So sad! One person spoils all. ##### Peter Jurgen Lutz Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raina Azene Mar 12, 2022 ##### Raina Azene Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Leong Keong Dec 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities NA ##### Leong Keong Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overall is good Comfortable room, love the shower pressure and heater.

Maybe the centralise aircon problem or how. Overall the stay is satisfied. It will be good if the hotel prepare slipper for the room. ##### NG Stayed 1 night in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 25, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had such a lovely experience staying at Macalister hotel from check in to our departure. The hotel was clean and minimalist that I had wanted and expected. A lot of local foods stands/courts around as well as being close by the street art (10 mins walking for me). Worth the stay :). Big thanks to the both check in and out FD agents! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee Sep 14, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Lee Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 6, 2020 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 31, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient, Chic and Affordable If you are looking for a strategic, clean, chic yet affordable hotel in the centre of Georgetown, I personally feel that this newly operated Macalister Hotel by PHC is by far a great option. Walking distance to several foodcourts with good food, the famous Lorong Selamat Char Kuey Teow, Jiao Sai mamak and more; you’ll be able to fulfil your food cravings without the hassle to drive and finding for carpark. There’s a coffee cafe, convenient store and Watson within the hotel so you can get your coffee fix, snacks and toiletries with just few steps. The room is spacious and clean while bed is big and comfy. The only downside is that the TV has limited channels. Overall is a good place to stay and will definitely return again when we travel to Penang. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 2, 2020 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 25, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Newly furbish hotel that is clean and comfortable, the only drawback is the limited parking spots. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 22, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Family Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Family-Hotel.0-0-d178296-tFamilyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Timmins](https://www.expedia.ca/Timmins-Hotels.d4091.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Toronto Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Toronto-Downtown.h21783.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Liverpool](https://www.expedia.ca/Liverpool-Hotels.d6140295.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus Pembina Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Pembina-Inn-Suites.h871487.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Harrison Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Harrison-Hot-Springs-Hotels.d10424.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Atrium Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Providenciales-Hotels-The-Atrium-Resort.h3969892.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Anaheim Rsrt - Conv Cntr](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-DoubleTree-Suites-By-Hilton-Anaheim-Rsrt-Conv-Cntr.h1427781.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Oahu Kapolei](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Oahu-Kapolei.h37788020.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Las Vegas (LAS) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/las/cun/las-vegas-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lax/toronto-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yxx/edmonton-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Prince George (YXS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yxs/vancouver-to-prince-george) > > [Flights from Castlegar (YCG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ycg/yyz/castlegar-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Hyderabad (HYD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/hyd/regina-to-hyderabad) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Aluva (COK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cok/toronto-to-cochin) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Lipjan (PRN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/prn/vancouver-to-pristina) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Oranjestad (AUA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/aua/toronto-to-oranjestad) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Cozumel (CZM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/czm/ottawa-to-cozumel) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Comox (YQQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yqq/calgary-to-comox) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to San Juan (SJU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/sju/victoria-to-san-juan) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Halifax.d602873.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Kingston.d6057821.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Dollar Rent A Car Car Rentals In Banff](https://www.expedia.ca/Dollar-Rent-A-Car-Car-Rentals-In-Banff.d10550-c43.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Hertz Car Rentals In The Danforth](https://www.expedia.ca/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-The-Danforth.d553248633981705831-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Cruise > [MSC MSC Poesia Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/MSC-Cruises-MSC-Poesia.cMS-sPO.Cruise-Ship-Info) ### Packages > [PATH Underground Shopping Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/PATH-Underground-Shopping-Mall-Downtown-Toronto.d6200046.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Waves Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Waves-Indoor-Waterpark-Lundys-Lane.d553248635810193487.Vacation-Attraction)
