I recently stayed at The Granite Luxury Hotel and unfortunately, my experience was far from what I expected from a luxury hotel.
Upon arrival, I noticed several issues in my room:
- The bathroom light was flickering non-stop, making it uncomfortable to use.
- There was visible mold and unidentified stains in the bathroom, which raised serious hygiene concerns.
- The clothing rack was rusted and looked like it hadn’t been maintained in years.
- Inside the cabinet, I found broken pieces, which was both inconvenient and disappointing.
I reported these issues to the front desk late at night. For a hotel that claims to offer luxury accommodations, the lack of cleanliness, maintenance, and responsiveness was unacceptable.
I hope the management takes these concerns seriously and improves their standards to ensure a better experience for future guests.

Super good view from the room and delicious breakfast. I enjoyed the night, but this round, I rated 3 for cleanliness because there was tomato on the floor and ants inside the room. I support the idea of being eco-friendly, but housekeeping is important, especially after checkout from previous customers.

I had a comfortable experience overall. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free, making it easy to settle in quickly. One of the standout features is the free parking, which is a great bonus for those driving. Additionally, the hotel provides refillable drinking water, an eco-friendly touch that's both convenient and thoughtful.
The hotel's strategic location makes it ideal for exploring Penang, with easy access to nearby attractions, eateries, and public transport.
However, the only downside was that noise from outside the walkway could be heard quite clearly, which might be a concern for light sleepers.
Despite that, Cititel Express offers good value for money, especially for travelers looking for convenience and comfort in the heart of Penang.

Love the room space as there's 3 of us. Good location near to yummy food points. Water point outside the room to reduce plastic bottles. 👍🏼
However, the room TV is too small, and it's not a smart TV, came with very limited channels. Gym is small, equipment is spoilt. Pool is also v small.
If you don't mind all these, Hotel Neo+ is definitely a place where you can consider. Worth the money.

Outstanding
AAnonymous UserE&O is our favourite hotel in Penang. Being a local Penangite, we frequently ate at Sarkies and even had our wedding in this hotel 10 years ago. We're back in this hotel for our anniversary, however we were a little disappointed with our stay. The bathtub in our corner suite is extremely dirty and stained. We asked the housekeepers to clean it as we wanted to use it. Worse of all, when we filled the tub with water, to our horror, the water was brown in colour!! Not sure if there is proper maintenance done to ensure the water supply is not tainted. The housekeepers also did not refill the complimentary mini bar items despite stating that our suite includes replenishment of the mini bar items on a daily basis. The surface area and tables were not wiped properly as well when they came to clean the room. We hope the management would seriously look into this matter, especially on the water source and overall cleanliness of the suite / bathroom.
Ttravel_addictIt was a fantastic stay for my family. Very spacious and 10 - 15 mins drive to George Town main attractions. There is a playground opposite to the hotel. Only 8 mins walk to coco Island food market which is very clean.
AAtasan 09It's a cosy hotel suitable for all age range travellers.
Be it cleanliness, or the services, I like the environment there alot.
I also like the washing machine and dryer provided in the big bathroom.
Only suggestion is should put 1 bottle of mineral in room in case Traveller cant find the water dispenser right after the lift.
BboogeyjaneThe only good thing I have to say about this hotel is how helpful the concierge Mr Ganesan was. He recommended amazing places for us to visit, always stopped to chat with us and was very friendly. Everything else in this hotel was awful. Hotel was clean and new but pool was filthy.. full of leaves and twigs. Both my partner and I had eye infections from swimming. Front desk staff were all rotten with zero customer service skills. One lady told me my room extension request was confirmed on the day I checked in but the following shift insisted that they had no extension request and simply refused to do anything to help saying they were on full capacity until I escalated it to the higher management and then miraculously the room became available. Asked in room dining for cutlery 5 times before they sent it. Upon checkout, they tried to charge me for breakfast for 2 days which I did not even eat or ask for in the first place. Hotel is clean and new but front desk staff are the worst I’ve ever come across in all my years of traveling.
WWei LeongThe service was great. Arrived in Penang late around mid-night. The front desk was manned with a receptionist to handle our check in. Everything was seamless. However, I was not aware of the UNESCO charges before arriving in the hotel, had to pay RM39 for it.
Pool was quite cold when we wanted to use it due to the rainy days.
MmyLamOur group of 5 have an extremely delightful 3 nights stay in Ozo Hotel. Location is great, and walkable to many eateries, shops and attractions.
Room is modern, well designed, bright and pleasing. While the pillows and quilt are very comfortable, we felt the mattress is both too soft and saggy which affected our sleep.
The best part of our stay is surely attributed to their wonderful and friendly staffs like Yin, Ariq (and many others whose names I forgot to ask.) They really go that extra mile to make our day!
And don’t forget to try out the delicious and sumptuous breakfast too. Helmed by Chef Aaron, the menu is changed daily so guests are never bored with same food. The sambal chilli and curry puffs are home made and a Must Try!
In summary, other than the discomfort with the sunken mattresses, we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.
MMOHAMMAD AMIRUL SHAFIQ BIN MOHD AZNANThe room and hotel itself meet my expectations as affordable accommodation. Spacious room, with bathtub in the bathroom, tv is functional, iron and iron board are provided as well. Great stay.
DDixon ThumI recently experienced a stay at Apple Hotel Penang, and it was a journey filled with both positives and drawbacks. Situated in the bustling heart of George Town, the hotel's location stands out as a significant advantage. It's within close proximity to key attractions like Penang Times Square, Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar, and 1st Avenue Penang, making exploration convenient and enjoyable.
The hotel offers free WiFi, but regrettably, the signal strength was notably weak during my visit. This may pose a challenge for guests relying heavily on a stable internet connection. Moreover, the availability of free parking, while a welcome feature, comes with a catch—it's extremely limited. Securing a spot can be a bit of a hassle, particularly during peak times.
In terms of accommodations, the rooms at Apple Hotel Penang provide basic amenities, including a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries. However, the cleanliness fell short of expectations, and the overall condition of the rooms didn't meet the standards for a truly comfortable stay. There were dust webs around little corners. While suitable for a brief visit of one or two nights, an extended stay might not be advisable based on my experience.
On a positive note, the 24-hour front desk service was commendable, ensuring assistance was readily available whenever needed. Additionally, the option to engage in a game of pool added a touch of entertainment to the overall stay.
Summing up my personal experience, Apple Hotel Penang offers a budget-friendly option in an unbeatable location. However, guests should be aware of the limitations in terms of cleanliness, weak WiFi, and limited parking. It's a matter of weighing the pros and cons based on individual priorities and preferences. If you prioritize a clean and comfortable environment, exploring alternative options in the area might be worthwhile.
AAnonymous UserThe location of the hotel is remarkable, very good, convenient to go everywhere. Downstairs is next to a breakfast shop, the roast meat and white chicken are absolutely delicious, especially delicious.
The hotel is very clean, and the accommodation is satisfactory. It is a good choice to only sleep and mainly go out for fun. The only dissatisfied waitress who came down to open the door for us was thin and wearing a nose stud, very arrogant and impolite. The slightly fatter waitress responsible for checkin is very good, and the male waiter who cleans the room is also very good.
Aana sarda1. Easy and fast check in
2. Place was very clean and warm welcomed by the staff
3. My room was good. Came with 2 breakfast
4. Breakfast was good. The food was a lot of Choice. Add on for Rm20 per head. Children below 5 years was free.
