The hotel's location near the airport with a complimentary airport shuttle service was a huge plus. We had an early flight at 7 AM the next day, and they checked us out at 4:50 AM and took us to the airport, saving us from the risk of being overcharged by a taxi. The hotel also has an on-site restaurant with reasonable prices; the coconut and stone pot chicken rice were quite good. There's a pool that's perfect for kids. The hotel also has a small courtyard with a mural wall that's great for photos. However, the room facilities are a bit dated. The large room I booked had a stained sofa. I'm not sure if it was perfume or an air freshener, but the scent in the room was a bit overwhelming and needs improvement.
The location is nearby kek lock si temple and penang hill very good for me to stay.The room also nice but I saw the ant and they give one cup to drink for coffee.Thanks
Great location. Hotel located near the Hin Bus Depot, plenty of great foods around.
Great view. My room was facing Komtar Tower and i have a really great window view.
Service Tiptop. From check-in, to check-out, and keeping the luggage, all staff are very helpful and welcoming.
Great Facilities. Just manage to use the pool, and i love the view and, not to crowded.
Location around 1.5 km away from many tourist attractions, like upside museum, UNESCO heritage sites etc.. we had to grab taxi everytime. There is a pool on 1st floor, big enough for children to swim around. Its from 7 am to 7 pm. But to be honest, it could be until 9 pm, kind of strict rules. Check-in counter staff was not that welcoming / nor smile, neither kind words/ But cleaning staff and security was kind, smiling every time as we enter the hotel.
I recently booked two rooms at OZO George Town Penang for a family trip with my parents and uncle, and we had a brilliant stay.
The Highlights:
- Stunning Views: We were stayed on Level 10, and the views were fantastic—we had a clear, sweeping look at the entire Penang Island right from our room.
- The Rooftop (Level 22): You absolutely have to head to the top floor. Level 22 features the pool and gym, offering a breathtaking 360-degree view of the island. It’s easily one of the best vantage points in the city.
- Superior Comfort: After long days of exploring, the beds were incredibly comfortable. Everyone in the family mentioned how well they slept.
- Excellent Service: The reception team was very friendly and made the check-in/out process seamless for our group.
Location:
The location is perfect for anyone wanting to experience Georgetown. Many local spots are within walking distance, and for anything further, it’s just a very short and affordable Grab ride away.
Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a modern stay with the best views in town!
I just stayed for one night. Which was enough for me.
Be aware this is not part of the official Rainbow Resort Hotel. Upon seeing my confirmation, the receptionist told me my room was an Airbnb. The building is a hotel as well private rooms that are rented out.
The room itself was very spacious, 70 sqm with one bedroom and a living space. It had obviously been repainted recently (it smelt a fresh paint) so the walls were clean. Air conditioning and basic amenities were provided.
The building itself, has seen a lot of wear and tear. If you’re on a budget and want a spacious room it will meet your needs.
For the price I think it’s quite reasonable if you’re there for a short stay.
The hotel is next to a beach, and a swimming pool downstairs. There a few restaurants across the road.
The place was nicely located where I had my activities and is connected to St Giles which is a bonus. Nearby shops and a mall makes it good. Location to travel to food places also is convenient. Aircon on the floor is nonexistent though and as my room was closer to the end of the floor WIFI connection was bad and weak. You get it but like 1 bar. Room are a bit cramped with 2 beds but it’s fine if you are only using the place to wash and sleep. Price wise is affordable so I cannot complain too much about the room as it is what you pay for. Reception service was good and pleasant with helpful staff. Room smaller than advertised so you might want to lower your expectations. Amenities are good as I like the fragrance they provided.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The location was also very convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and transportation. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the overall relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.
The hotel is clean and the location is great. The staff are all incredibly friendly and there are cute cats around! They offer free bicycle rentals, which is super convenient for getting around Penang, though the roads can be a bit challenging to ride on, so be careful. There's a coffee shop downstairs and a bar upstairs, and you get a discount as a guest.
There are several small restaurants nearby, making dining convenient. It's also not too far from the main attractions, which makes it suitable for backpackers. The room facilities and hygiene are acceptable, and the front desk service is good.
Very Good

MMaboThe hotel's location is decent. Since I mainly used taxis to get around, finding food was easy with plenty of options nearby, plus convenience stores for drinks and snacks. The hotel definitely shows its age, but it's clean enough. There are coin-operated washing machines and free restrooms on the ground floor. Using Grab for taxis was very convenient and reasonably priced. It was easy to get to places like the Botanical Gardens, Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang Hill, or the ferry terminal – luckily, there's only one ferry terminal in Penang, so no getting lost there.
MMEGAT AMINUDDINi had a wonderful stay at Bishop Hotel in Georgetown, Penang. the location is absolutely perfect — right in the heart of the UNESCO heritage area, within walking distance to popular attractions, street art, cafes, and amazing local food spots. it made exploring Georgetown so convenient and enjoyable.
the room was cozy, clean, and very comfortable. perfect for relaxing after a full day of sightseeing. everything was well-maintained, and the bed was especially comfortable for a good night’s rest.
overall, Bishop Hotel is a great choice for anyone looking for a centrally located stay with cozy, comfortable rooms in Georgetown. iwould definitely stay here again!

AAlfred MubarackNice hotel in Chulia street, near to a few bars and restaurants, nice night scene. The room was very spacious, there was a window but don't expect much as it's facing the alleyway. Plenty of parking for hotel guests. I'd return
GGuest UserThe hotel is quite good overall. The room is a bit small but still comfortable, clean, and nicely designed. The air conditioning works very well and cools down quickly, even though the weather in Penang is quite hot. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The only downside is that the location is a bit far from the old town. I personally enjoy walking, so it wasn’t an issue for me. In return, the area is very quiet and close to a local market with plenty of delicious and affordable food options.
JJanel AngA Modern Gem in the Heart of George Town
If you are looking for a hotel that is modern, functional, and incredibly clean, this is it. The bathroom was a highlight for me; it felt very premium with high-quality sanitary ware and a ”no-dust” policy that you can really see. The grey-toned tiles and minimalist layout make the space feel much larger. Beyond the room, the staff was efficient and the location makes it easy to walk to all the major sites. Secure parking was a plus, too!
TTini88We were a bit nervous after reading the reviews online but we had a really excellent stay. The rooms were super clean and modern with a beautiful sea view and the bed was really comfortable. The rooms had a kettle with teas, a hairdryer and iron and the shower was lovely and hot. Great AC too. The pool was lovely with a beautiful view of the sea and very nice and peaceful. The location was also great with a huge food market right opposite. Overall a really lovely stay
