Hotels near Birch Gurney, George Town

This hotel is good for solo travelers. Overall, my stay was okay. However, the check-in experience needs improvement. I booked a room online a few days before the event, but upon arrival, the receptionist was unsure if my room was ready. I requested housekeeping in the morning, but the room was only available around 6 PM. On the plus side, check-out was smooth. As for the amenities, I think the hotel needs an upgrade for better customer convenience.

It's really close to Tune Hotel, This is a new hotel . They just open at December 2021 open (if I'm not mistaken). Clean, smells good, neat, close to everywhere. To Georgetown food center only around 700 meters, and to the new world food court only 450 meters. There is a fruit area too, selling 1.5 liter drinking water at 1 myr brand ice mountain. Good deal. I book queen bed room with window (window can't be opened) at IDR 400K, without windows at IDR 360K (as of July 3, 2022). There is also 1 room for three people at IDR 650k. There is an iron , hangers, Refrigerator, drinking water , water heater, safety box ,shampoo ,soap ,shavers, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shower caps are available. TV available (local broadcast + Astro, complete) , Super cold air conditioner. 80% type of mattress is hard, good for the bones, LOL. There is a direction for Qiblat for Muslims . Notes: 1. Room cleaning per day every 4 pm . You must hang on the door with cleaning reminder card before that hour. 2. Deposit per room 100 myr (malaysian ringgit)

There are no reviews on this Ctrip, so I was a little nervous when I booked. The overall feeling is good, the location is convenient, the room is classical, and the decoration is more stylish, which generally meets expectations. However, it is not suitable for the old and the young. The rooms are all on the second floor. You have to carry your luggage by yourself, and the stairs are relatively high. In addition, the bathroom is separate from the room. Although it is guaranteed that there is a special room for each room, you may bump into others when you go in and out, so you must be mentally prepared for this. Taking pictures is very photogenic

Check-in was smooth. The hotel was amazing and so as the room. Great location close to most of the local food attractions. No iron was provided in the room so had to request for it which took some time for the hotel to deliver it.

The white elevator is very unique to this elevator. Tho it was slow but I don’t mind bec it so chic with glass door. Very unique indeed! Love it though I wasn’t able to take pic. 😒 +++ white elevator, water refilling dispenser, very spacious room & bathroom +++ location was quite away from the main action but there are 2 bus stops nearby, komtar & chowrasta are 5-10mins walk +++ they provide dental kit, small soap, nice shampoo/conditioner & body wash, mugs, electric kettle, safe, ref, ac was functioning very well, room telephone, tv but i did not use it +++ free wifi was good —- reception is not very friendly except for 1 Indian guy who promptly answers whatsapp tho he mistaken me for a guy at first 😄, the chinese receptionist hardly smiles, indian lady seemed to not know anything when you ask about tourist spots (i think hotel people should equip themselves with some knowledge on tourism. I mean there should be basic orientation by management on this. Times had changed and you need to have these extra customer service, just suggesting). —- i was in the assumption that cleaning is daily but i was told every other day but i still need to remind them about it. Entire hotel can use some improvement in the cleaning — no closet inside the room, you just have to hang your stuff —- my view was a huge wall —- soundproofing is bad, very noisy when people close doors or children running around. You hear toilet flushing from nearby rooms —- it was raining when I arrive and nobody offered an umbrella except on the second day when the janitor heard me. That was appreciated very much. It also made me realize that umbrella is a weapon for solo travellers so that made the carrying a little easier —- towels smell mushy maybe bec of rainy season —- sometimes bathroom had some drainage smells —- food choices was a little limited in area unless you walk for like 5-10mins. Overall stay was still on the good side. I had way worst stays than this. I did enjoy my solo trip to Penang and would love to go back. I plan to stay next time near the street art areas where the actions are. I would still recommend le embassy to other travellers.

2 night stay in room #4 - very comfortable king bed, windowless room. Room was very spacious and clean, ditto for the bathroom. Trendy RBG lighting in the bathroom and headboard which we liked for ambient lighting because of the lack of a window. It took us a day to realize that there is a switch (with a red light) for the hot water heater. Appreciated the 2 bottles of water and packets of instant coffee and tea with a kettle in the room, also a few small free snacks and water next to the front desk but no breakfast. Lots of local food in the area. I’d highly recommend this small inn due to the quirky decor and great value for money factor (booked through agoda).

Nice, friendly staff, but don't speak English proper, could be lost in communication. It's located nearby Club or KRV, so there was music till 11 p.m., so not so quite.

The room that specially designed. Also is my first hotel that provides ceiling fans on top of air conditioner, allowing customer to switch based on their preferences. Strategic location, stone throw distancr to penang chendul. Staffs are friendly. Highly recommended

Unexpectedly, Penang is so cheap to eat and sleep, with a single room for NT$500 per night, with its own private space, bathroom, and even a desk and chair wardrobe. And the space is spacious and does not seem crowded. The staff is kind and kind, located in the city center, close to the bus terminal. Really picky, that is, the damp musty smell is heavier, and the air conditioner can be improved for a while.

This budget hotel is located in front of Komtar where are the buses stop. For transportation it is not a problem. The airport bus also stop at Komtar,and if you are going to jetty,then the bus stop stop just 3 minutes walk in front of the temple. The hotel door is always lock, so you need to push the bell if you are the first timer. You need to climb up the stairs as the lobby is located at second floor, be reminded there is no doormen to help you carry heavy luggage. Be careful while you are climbing the stairs as some steps are broken. The lobby has plenty of sitting with nice decoration for those who like Instagram pictures. At lobby area also have a small open air space,maybe for smoking. The room I booked is a twin room and facing the backyard,so it is very quiet. Front room will be very noisy as the traffic is endless around Komtar. The room is OK in size and cleanliness,but a bit dark. Inside the room there is a small working desk but you won't be able to use it as the kettle is also sharing the desk. My bad experience is the safety box, it is out of order and not able to use it permanently as the batteries leakage have rooted the whole panel. The bathroom is bright and looks very clean,the water is good with hot and cold water. This hotel is near restaurants, as Penang is so famous with food. If you like walking,then everywhere is within walking distance such as the night food street, the Weld, the old city etc. Considering the best location and best room rate,I will certainly return to stay.
