This Jen hotel is incredibly close to all the attractions, and you can even walk to the street art murals. There's a decent-sized shopping mall nearby, along with a supermarket and Starbucks. Although the hotel facilities are a bit dated, the service is still excellent. The breakfast, in particular, offers a great variety, including freshly stir-fried kway teow and freshly cooked noodle soup. I'd definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Penang!"

The pool and gym are small but sufficient. Overall, I'd give it an 'A'."

No. 4 of 4-Star Select Hotels in Penang
Presiding over historical George Town- The Edison is a vision of architectural splendour. Heritage features meet period furnishings to create a whimsical journey into Penang s past. Elegant suites are decked out with intimate details and artisanal accessories. Vibrant jade accents bring the timeless grace of this old mansion to life. Then there is the bright- central courtyard that provides a place to pause in the city s midst or you can sink into the comfort of The Edison s library. Step beyond the mansion gates into a bustling fusion of cultures. A UNESCO World Heritage Site- George Town is built upon 500 years of trading. The Edison George Town is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.

"I like the location. It's walking distance to UNESCO Georgetown. And there is a hawker center type food outlet just opposite with singers belting out Thai, mandarin and Cantonese numbers. Though it ends at 12 midnight. It's an old mansion converted into a boutique hotel. Not able to drop off at hotel, as gate is not opened. Reception is facing main door. Staffs are friendly and helpful. I stayed on the ground floor which is very convenient. The room is comfortable, though being an old mansion, the light switches are not the most convenient.There is no water kettle in room, hence a lounge that is opened 24 hours where there are hot water, drinks and snacks.. The sound insulation is not very good, can hear singing and noise from outdoor pool. Lucky not staying on 2nd floor as stairs is very narrow and tight. There is an outdoor pool which I did not manage to view."

"The room isn't huge, but it was perfect for two people. When I checked in, I asked for a sea-view room, and the view was absolutely stunning. The hotel having a gym and a swimming pool is a huge plus! It's super convenient with a mall next door, and it was so easy to visit all the nearby attractions and try out local food spots – everything was about a 20-minute walk away. Getting to the airport takes about 30 minutes if there's no traffic. I highly recommend this place! There are water dispensers on every floor, which is great for refilling bottles. The bed isn't huge, but it's comfortable enough to sleep on. If I come back to Penang, I'd definitely choose to stay here again."

With a stay at Royale Chulan Penang, you'll be centrally located in George Town, within a 10-minute drive of Penang Hill and Queen Victoria Clock Tower.

"The hotel's location is excellent. It's within walking distance to the Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower, City Hall, and the waterfront. You can also walk to the tourist area's mural streets and the Peranakan Museum. The cleanliness and service are both above average. Although the breakfast offers a good variety, the taste is just okay, but it was still the most palatable among the three hotels I stayed at this trip. They offer congee and pickled vegetables. The hotel provides large umbrellas for guests to borrow. However, it's really not necessary as rain in Penang usually comes in short bursts, so there's no need for such a big umbrella. The room is old, and the bathroom leaks, as shown in the picture. I wouldn't recommend booking breakfast at any hotel in Malaysia. Breakfast at local restaurants is much cheaper and tastier. The only thing you'll need to worry about in Penang is your appetite being too small!"

Mercure Penang Beach A destination for travelers seeking local and authentic experiences, Mercure Penang Beach offers a pristine white sandy beach right at your doorstep, with breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea. The resort boasts facilities including sea-facing outdoor pool, All-Day-Dining restaurant, bar, gym, and free high-speed WiFi throughout.

"We stayed for one night in the Superior Hill King Room and had a pleasant experience overall. The room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel is conveniently located near the beach. From check-in to check-out, everything was quick and smooth. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. One thing that could be improved is the soundproofing. Our room was facing the main road, so we could hear traffic noise at night, which might be an issue for light sleepers. The bathroom was clean, but the standing shower area was quite small and didn't have a divider, so it felt a little cold while showering. The room also comes with an old-style bathtub. Parking is limited, so you may need to park at the building next door. However, the parking ticket can be validated at the front desk, which was convenient. A special thank you to the hotel staff for their honesty and prompt assistance. We checked out around 11:00 AM and later realized we had left our watch in the room. We contacted the hotel immediately, and within about 30 minutes they confirmed that they had found it. We really appreciate the team's quick response and helpful service. Overall, we had a comfortable stay, and despite a few minor issues, we would consider staying here again."

The resort features 318 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites, each crafted for ultimate comfort and functionality. Guests can unwind with a range of modern amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, an inviting pool, and versatile meeting spaces that cater to both business and leisure events.

Whether you're exploring the cultural landmarks of Tanjung Bungah or relaxing in the resort’s stylish and vibrant environment, M Social Resort Penang offers the perfect gateway to experience both the heritage and modern charm of Penang

"Overall, the rooms are quite spacious and comfortable, with balconies offering views of both sunrise and sunset. I booked two rooms; my friend's room had a sunrise view, while mine had a sunset view. My first booking was on a weekend, and the breakfast experience wasn't great due to the large number of guests – many items ran out before they could be refilled. However, for my second stay, I chose a weekday (Monday to Friday), and the experience was much better. I booked for five consecutive days, and the hotel gave me two complimentary breakfast vouchers. The breakfast selection was quite rich, and the staff were patient and could communicate in both Mandarin and English. The rooms also had some smart features, which is quite good for the local area. I had staff clean my room daily, and overall, I'd give it a 9 out of 10. The cleaning staff were very responsible, but perhaps the cleanliness standards didn't quite meet our personal expectations."

this hotel is good overall, but when we arrived, they told us that we didn't have a booking with them and they couldn't locate our booking and details. the room was also said to be taken, and they are waiting for a cancellation in order to get our room. There is a lot of confusion among staff. some visitors were told to leave their rooms once they have entered. we waiting 1 hr 30 min to get our room. so check in was at 4.30pm. parking was also very inconvenient, as we had to park at the basement, which was impossible to even get one if you came into the hotel late and a T&G card was also needed to get validated before leaving the hotel if we wanted a free spot. Room was very spacious and clean. the tea and coffee was hard like its never been changed.

The hotel's location is fantastic! Right outside, there's a night market with the famous Stir-fried Kway Teow Grandpa's stall, which always has a queue. It's also super close to other attractions. They have a gym and a swimming pool. We didn't book breakfast, so we just grabbed a bite at a place right outside the hotel.

It was a great stay. The room was spacious and clean. Free parking and the welcome drink were a nice bonus. The only downside was that the air conditioner was a little noisy, and the shower water temperature was a bit inconsistent, sometimes hot and sometimes cold. However, the water pressure was really good. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would still recommend this hotel.

Overall, it's pretty good and offers good value for money. Transportation: You can take a taxi to the Old Town or walk for 20 minutes. The hotel's area is relatively quiet and tidy. As an aside, I struggled with the accommodation area for a long time before my trip. I'm fine with the OZO area, but if I were to go again, I personally would prefer the Gurney Bay area. The atmosphere and cleanliness are much better there. Many parts of the Old Town are too old and chaotic. Cleanliness was satisfactory, even exceeding expectations. For service, I didn't encounter any Mandarin-speaking staff, but everyone was very friendly. Facilities: The rooftop pool has an excellent view directly facing the sea. It was wonderful to relax there every day. The breakfast restaurant also has a good view, and while the variety isn't huge, it's sufficient. In-room facilities are standard for a business hotel. I actually found it very convenient to get water from the water dispenser on my floor. There are two downsides: 1. The towels are very old and should be replaced; I used my own the entire time. 2. For some unknown reason, the Wi-Fi was extremely poor during my stay. My World Cup viewing corner's internet TV was almost unusable due to buffering. For tourists, poor internet is a significant issue.

The place it self was great, the cleanliness was very good and the service was excellent. The only downside we had was the neighbours upstairs kept making loud noises through out our stay, however credit to the agents they replied back to us promptly when we brought this up and had notified their landlord. Unfortunately this didn’t still resolve the loud noises. The building it self is nice, the pool is clean and well maintained, however the building does have a lot of regulations in place which we thought was quite excessive. Other than these minor issues we had a great time and the apartment is well kept.

Revisiting Penang this year, I chose to stay at Cititel Express again. The hotel had already arranged for early check-in via email, which I found very thoughtful and the service was perfect! Our family booked three rooms, and all of them were still clean and hygienic. Most importantly, there were no strange odors in the rooms. The bed linen and duvet covers were spotless with no dirty marks, and the air conditioning was excellent. The pool was even cleaner and more hygienic than last year. I also noticed many maintenance staff doing renovation and inspection work, which made me feel that the hotel management is excellent. Many new restaurants have opened near the hotel, reachable by foot without needing a car. A taxi from the airport to the hotel takes only about half an hour, which is very convenient. Next time we visit Penang, this hotel will still be our top choice!

I had a really pleasant stay at this new hotel. The location is very convenient, and I was impressed by their high-tech automated parking system. It was a unique and interesting experience to use such an advanced parking facility. The staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. One thing I really want to highlight is the shower water pressure. Whenever I stay at a hotel, one of the first things I look for is whether the shower water is strong enough. Many hotels I have stayed at have weak water pressure, but this hotel really surprised me. The water flow was powerful and comfortable, making the shower experience very enjoyable. Overall, this is one of the most comfortable hotel stays I’ve had. The modern facilities, friendly service, and excellent shower experience made my stay memorable. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent hotel location. The fully equipped kitchen, ironing board with iron, and hairdryer are all available. If you need anything, you can contact staff via WhatsApp, and it will be delivered quickly. The room was clean and spacious. Nice pool and jacuzzi, plus a well-equipped gym. Upon check-in, we were asked for a 200 RM refundable deposit, but only in cash. We had a pleasant stay.
