George Town|1.45km from Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Centre
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

Le Embassy Hotel Georgetown

George Town|0.58km from Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Centre
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.

Apple Hotel Penang
3.9/5140 Reviews
I have stayed in many hotels and even I'm also a hotelier. Requested for early check in at least 15 minutes earlier but the reception strictly allowed to check in after 3pm only. There must be some give and take with guest, then only we can thoroughly enjoy the hotel and service. If the room is ready, please allow the guest to check in abit early. It's not compulsory but it will help to make the guest happy with customer service.
Garden Inn, Penang
3.6/558 Reviews
Hotel location is excellent in the middle of town, is a old hotel but is clean. If talk about services is totally very very veryyyyyyy bad. The front desk uncle very hot temper. We just request room for same floor with my friend but this guy rejected us in very bad attitude.
Apple Hotel Times Square
3.8/536 Reviews
Highly recommended stay at Apple 1 Hotel Times Square , Penang I couldn't believe the price that we paid (RM65 via Agoda ) for we get a very comfortable room with a bathtub! The room was spacious & clean! The hairdryer is strong as well. Only downside is that the carpark is limited & there is no refrigerator in the room. It is located next to Penang Times Square unfortunately that mall almost all retails is closed. However, it is of walking distance to a really good steamboat restaurant (their porridge hotpot is a must try) - 锅香府特色火锅专卖店 Guo Xiang Fu Steamboat Restaurant & in case you're a fan of Hand Made Tau Sar Piah & Tambun Biscuit, its of walking distance to 順香饼家 SOON HIANG Biscuit ! I personally prefer this biscuit shop it taste much better than other brands in Penang.
Link Hotel
3.7/59 Reviews
Yes, this is a budget Hotel. For around MYR 100 you get what you pay for. Great location, right in the action. Bars, Restaurants, hawker stalls, shops etc. Clean basic room, clean sheets, bed a little hard but still slept well. good A/C and shower facilities. There is hot and cold water 24/7 and a large balcony area with seating, overlooking the road where you can smoke vape and have a drink. Ironing station available. Only downside to this place is poor Wi-Fi. Could not get any internet in the reception area and definitely not in the rooms. Overall, an ok stay for a night or two. No problem recommending this Hotel.
Tien Terrace Macalister
4.3/523 Reviews
Loved our stay at Tien Terrace, the whole place is spotlessly clean with such a beautiful finish to all aspects. The room is modern, comfortable and clean. The air con is a dream, it’s quiet so doesn’t disturb your sleep. Location is great too, perfect walking distance to everything. It’s on a quiet little street too which makes it a lot more authentic. We would highly recommend this place to stay, we will be back! Clark and Lucy
Macalister Hotel by Phc
4.3/564 Reviews
I had a late check-in at the hotel, but the reception staff were very helpful and accommodating. Despite the late hour, they were friendly and efficient in getting me checked in and settled into my room. It was much appreciated after a long day of travel. It's hotel with a modern design and found it to be very clean. Happy to found a microwave to heat our takeaways. However, I had a difficult time finding parking in the area. Overall, the hotel was enjoyable, but the lack of convenient parking was a bit of a drawback. It would be great if they have a reserved parking spots for hotel guests.
