Best Northeast Penang Island Hotels

"Regular visitor to Penang, about 5 times per year.  First time staying in this hotel and I must say it is the best in terms of location, especially for foodie like me. Yummy is everywhere once I step out of this hotel. Only downside, there is no bedside power point to pluck in to charge my phone. So every time a notification tone comes in, I gotta get out of bed to go check on it. Other than that, all is excellent. Attach a couple of photos on the most popular food just along the street outside the hotel."

"The hotel has a good location. The room is medium-sized, decent enough to stay in. The bathroom amenities are nice — the shampoo and shower gel smell good and seem to be of good quality. However, there’s no toothbrush provided, and only one thin, old towel that’s been used for quite some time, though it was clean enough. I’d deduct points for cleanliness, as it seems they only clean the frequently used areas such as the bed, table, and floor. The shelves and drawers still had dust, and the bedside table was also dusty. In my room, the sofa had a very strong unpleasant smell, like old urine, with visible stains — I didn’t dare to use it. There was also a strange smell in the room, not quite like perfume, and it took a while for my nose to get used to it. Overall, it’s acceptable for a short stay, but there’s definitely room for improvement."

"All in all, not dat bad. The location of dis hotel is nice, those spots r very nearby. However,the WiFi is too terrible, even I using their WiFi or my own data I still can’t got it well. Besides , the sea view was alright even though I’m still disappointed thought dat the sea view would be very nearby the hotel but actually there’s still a distance. Additionally, the breakfast was okay nothing special , the menu almost same every day"

"Room is clean though toilet slightly a bit small. One thing that not good is the sound insulation is quite bad. Can hear sound travel as next door room make some noise. Can be annoying if the next door room make continuous sound. Location in the heart of Georgetown where can walk anywhere to all the sightseeing place."

"Room was small but clean, cozy and comfortable. The only thing to note is that the room isn’t very soundproof — we could hear people passing by the corridor and doors closing loudly at midnight many times. Parking was challenging. Great location to nearby attractions and shops. Overall great 👍🏻"

"Fast check in process by Mr Saran. Easy parking access (no need to take any parking ticket. Receptionist will register your car plate number and you can enter and out from parking lot how many time you want). Requested birthday decorations and im so happy when i saw the decoration. It was so amazing! And we get small cake too! Thanks St Giles Wembley Penang for this hospitality! Booked Premier King room. I was impressed by the cleanliness and comfort room. The room was spacious. The bed was comfortable just the pillow is a bit hard for me. Nice view from the room. Quiet room. Breakfast 9/10. Many varieties of food. Delicious! Especially the taufufa. I repeat 3 times 😊. Gym is pretty nice and had adequate equipment. Pool view is Komtar 💜 Great location. Walking distance to 1st Avenue Mall, and most places. Hope this hotel will maintain the services, and cleanliness for long time. Will certainly return to St Giles Wembley Hotel on my next visit to Penang."

"Location was good, but too noisy. Even people walk passed my room also giving noice, hearing people next room talking, showering…and sometimes just hearing waterfalls, and strange noises. A-bit old too"

"Hospitality is superb, but the only downside is the kids' pool. It was so slippery at the 3 hoops sections. Slipped and fell hard on it. Hurt my wrist as I used my wrist to break the fall. It happened too fast.. hopefully, the maintenance could look into it and really scrubbed it as it is indeed very dangerous for the kids."

"Love the design of the hotel. The room is huge by Penang standard and comes with lots of carpark. We had a really comfortable stay at Sho. The cons is the location which is located slightly away from the Center. The water pressure in the shower is sometimes too low. These are minor problems. Definitely will visit again"

"The deluxe room was spacious, room is clean and non carpet (which we like it very much). Toilet showering area was big too. Along the corridor, there is a water cooler, so good for top up water daily as many times as you like. No need to buy mineral water..breakfast quality is good. Variety is limited though. The restaurant staff services are excellent as all of them are cheerful and polite. Our hotel views are facing the Komtar - The top..nice view. Will stay here again if we come to penang in future"
