23 Love Lane Hotel
4.3/544 Reviews

23 Love Lane Hotel

George Town|0.71km from Ghost Museum
If you like Nanyang Hokkien culture, you deserve to stay here for a few nights. The style of the hotel is based on Nanyang architectural features. The interior and exterior design of the gate, inner and outer courtyards make people feel very relaxed. The location of the hotel is good. It is on the outside of Love Lane. It will not be too noisy from other bars and restaurants in the lane. There are many restaurants and bars nearby. I recommend Decheng Restaurant and the nearby stall of wanton noodle fried kway teow. The outside is also close to the sea There are also some scenic spots where you can take a walk with the sea breeze. The room arrangement is good this time. It is a bungalow on the second floor facing the gate. The bed-shaped bathroom is very spacious and clean. There are two small chairs for drinking tea and coffee and watching the birds and flowers outside. There is also a public space outside the door to read books, drink coffee and play board games. Even if it is raining outside, you can chat with friends and play games inside. The breakfast is good. There are self-service and set meals, and the portions are quite sufficient. Next time I come to Penang, I will continue to choose 23lovelane☕️.

The George Penang by The Crest Collection

George Town|0.75km from Ghost Museum
It started off rough. Got into the hotel early to leave our luggage and the guy manning the check in was cold, standoffish, and didn’t even bother replying to our pleasantries. When we returned, a misunderstanding ensured. Cos of my earlier encounter, I was just unreasonable. But thank goodness for Suhaila (I think) and her manager - they deescalated the situation with grace and aplomb. That bump aside, I had a lovely time. Was in room 213. Initially I was worried because I have read about noise issues coming from the club next door. But either the club was closed or the soundproofing worked, there were no disturbances. We slept like babies. The room was beautiful, and the location is amazing. This hotel is highly Recommended. Just don’t bother to pay extra for the breakfast. That was just too sad. We tried it on our last day in the hotel as we were leaving early for the airport. It was dismal.

Eastern & Oriental Hotel

George Town|1.1km from Ghost Museum
The hotel is good and clean, but the service of parking security is terrible, before we check in, one of the security was playing his phone and videocalling with his friend，so he didnt even notice our car，when he finally noticed us after my husband was leaving to check in first， he knocked our car heavily，and said this is not parking area，i said ok，just a second，he is checking in，the security was rolling his eyes and said it emphasisly again，asked me to move it and i dont even have driving license here. One minutes later ，my husband was back with room card，he checked and let us just parking right there！！ can not believe there are rude staff in this fancy hotel！ 这个酒店的保安无比地*****，我们车停在门口去checkin ，有一个印度保安当时在草丛里玩手机压根没看到我们，然后我老公刚离开座位，车引擎今年还开这，就听见有人猛敲我车窗，我吓一跳看见这个印度保安从草丛里跑出来手机不玩了，说这不是停车位，我说好的 等一分钟，他去checkin ，我们马上开走，他在那翻着白眼大声说这不是停车位！ 我说我没驾照，不然你来开。他一副高高在上的嘴脸，站在我车门口，然后等我老公出来拿着房卡，他一看是酒店的客人，就说把车摆正，等我们下车他赶紧跑远了。酒店平时都没有服务态度的培训吗，他都把自己当这酒店主人了

Ascott Gurney Penang

George Town|2.51km from Ghost Museum
My elderly parents stayed at The Gurney during their medical checkup in Penang and accidentally left behind some documents. We emailed the hotel and left a message through booking.com to no avail. Then through a phone call, we got connected to Danesh at the Concierge Department, who then went the extra mile to coordinate among various departments within the hotel, and mailed the document through express courier service. His attentive service is highly appreciated.

Le Embassy Hotel Georgetown

Le Embassy Hotel Georgetown

George Town|0.79km from Ghost Museum
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.

Magpie Heritage - Hideaway

George Town|0.17km from Ghost Museum
· A very clean bed and breakfast, surrounded by quiet, this is a real hidden mansion, hidden in the shops along the road. · From the last name of Zhouqiao, 5 RM can be called, Grab, the address of the location store, do not write ”Magpie”, will default to the old shop Magpie B&B. · The boss is a Chinese Mandarin. The whole feeling is like a Taiwanese, but he is a native of Malayan. He is very polite and enthusiastic. There is a free map at the door. He introduces him. George Dock is very detailed and intimate and will help you mark it. Good punching points and sightseeing spots, the direction is good, let him teach you how to go, the neighborhood is 15 minutes to get to the neighborhood, not too far ~ lazy to walk a family Grab, are 5-8 MYR Things~ · Our room is on the first floor. The room is big, there is a small entrance, a big room, and a small garden with a patio. It is not wet. The air in the room is quite fresh. The bed is very large and clean. The disadvantage is that it is under the stairs. The room will be a bit noisy, but the guests in the store will not be too embarrassed, the sound is still acceptable~ In the end, the picture has no filters, the real scene picture ~

Sweet Cili Boutique Hotel

George Town|0.25km from Ghost Museum
We lived in a room with a leap. The entire hotel is decorated in a very simple and elegant style, with a touch of color and accessories. Will send an access card to the guests, then took off the shoes and went upstairs to their room. The service was very good. I had an appointment, but we were late, and it was not unpleasant to delay the work. We also called us to the airport on Grab. People were really kind.

Reunion Residence

George Town|0.27km from Ghost Museum
Location was good near the jetty and walking distance to all sights but hotel is not ideal if you have mobility issues as there are 30 steps to climb to the first floor and double that for second floor. Check in is actually the shop cashier.. it took me a while to figure it out. You will be carryong all your stuff to your room as there is nobody available to help, so pack light. The room was of a good size but nothing like the picture of the Deluxe room I had booked. Room is ok need a repair here and there but well equipped including kettle and iron. Bathroom is strange... if you take a shower you flood the whole bathroom as there is no shower curtain or cubicle. Make sure you make nbr 1 , nbr 2 or combo before taking your shower. Overall is fair balance of a budget hotel vs cost, nothing more nothing less.

Rare Heritage House

George Town|0.27km from Ghost Museum
The location of the hotel is still very good to find. If you get off the bus, go along the street in Shantou and you can reach it by two turns. On the way, you will go through the museum and you can experience it at the same time. Of course, from Georgetown. Other punching spots can also be reached on foot. The service of the hotel itself is also good, although only for one night, the environment is OK, there is a cafe also for breakfast, the room is retro and refined, it is recommended!

The front desk service of the hotel is very good. It will speak Mandarin and Cantonese. It will tell you where the main push is in Penang. In the evening, you will put sugar on the bed. The parking space is on a first-come, first-served basis. You can buy a parking ticket. The afternoon tea is very good. Very good, a lot of food nearby

The location is great. Breakfasts very good. Perfect pool to cool down (cold water, seriously), good choice. For me, the location and the swimming pool (because of my daughter) is ok. I recommend it. But: Zero wardrobes, cupboards etc. We had to keep everything in suitcases and there was not even a towel rack in the bathroom. It is much more important than an extra toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. Besides, calls from a nearby mosque are awakened. These are the details that irritate. And the pillows - high and hard. In addition, the hotel complies with the description and you can safely spend a few nights in it.

Ropewalk Piazza Hotel by Phc

4.2/541 Reviews
It was a short Grab car drive from my previous hotel to the Ropewalk Piazza Hotel, less than RM5. The whole building is actually owned by Ropewalk Piazza Hotel. Some of the units are rented by the other shops. All the suite is located upstairs. Unfortunately, no carpark is available at this property. So you can park your vehicles along the road next to the hotel. Once you got your parked your car, my advice, if you want to go around the city, use the GrabCar Service. You can pay your park using the apps of PenangParking, which cost only RM0.80 per hour. In their website, there is map guide of suggestion where to park your car Surprisingly, it is only less than 5 minutes walk from Prangin Mall, KOMTAR, 1st Avenue Mall and Chowrasta Market. As I was using bus to go back to Kuala Lumpur, the Bilion Star Express office only 3 minutes walked from the hotel. So convenience. As the hotel is located on the center of heart of the city, it is easy to go everywhere. The check-in process was smooth and with the modern design. A few sofa at the lobby for you to chill. Basically, you only walked through the lobby only during the registration and checked-out. There will no room card provided, instead you will giving the room keylock number. If you see at the hotel building, there are many doors along the corridor, it is actually a guestroom door. You need to opened the door using the keylock number given (no room key/card), and that's it, the door is opened. So, you will need to memorize your key number, so snap a photo of your keylock number card or you can bring a card with keylock number on it. No need to worry if you lost the card. Once you opened the door, there is a stairs welcoming you. It is quite high to be honest. So, all I can say, it is not really suitable for senior citizens, the one need special assistance also the young children as you worried they will fall down. I love the living room, there is a sofa bed, television, microwave, water heater, and fridge. It's a normal amenities for the apartment style hotel. But unfortunately, no kitchen provided. Microwave is really convenience for you to heat up the food. There are 2 bedrooms provided. 1 king bed in master bedroom and 1 queen bed in other room. So actually total of 6 adults can stay in this apartment. So it is worth the price. The master bedroom is really spacious, provided with another television, make up table plus the big size of wardrobe cabinet. All I can say everything is complete inside such as security box, iron, and etc. Another room is just basic, with very comfortable queen bed plus the wardrobe. All is excellent for me. Unfortunately, I was alone during my stay, so I just hang out in my master bedroom as it is so cozy. The bathroom has the luxurious vibes a little bit as there is no bathtub provided but I like the vibes which I can't explain. Love the amenities provided by the Penang Hotel Collections. Love the gold color theme of amenities as its look classy. The rain sho

1 double bed, 1 single bed, front desk is a cute girl who can speak Chinese, it's great, the isolation is Shantou Street, and I will not worry about eating sooner or later. Cheap price, book an extra night immediately. Just don't have an elevator to take care of your luggage.
