Citadines Connect Cecil Georgetown Penang
4.5/545 Reviews
It was our first time in Penang as a couple, and Citadines Connect Cecile Georgetown was the perfect choice to explore the city. The location is ideal, and the atmosphere of the hotel is both modern and welcoming. We particularly enjoyed the well-equipped gym and the outdoor pool, which was a great way to relax after a day of sightseeing. Another big plus: the barista counter that’s open 24/7, with free coffee available. It really helped us kickstart our mornings… and wind down our evenings! The staff was also very friendly and attentive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel for couples or anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Penang. We’ll definitely be back!
