Hotels With WiFi in Penang, Malaysia

I came with the night flight so this hotel was just a bed to sleep before I move to another hotel. Overall nothing much to complaint as it’s only 22 USD. The room has just bed, safe, AC and bath room has 2 pcs of soap and 1 small bottle of shampoo. That’s all. The staffs are nice and friendly. The location is good. Walkable distance to tourist attractions If you just want a bed and bath, this is the place

The hotel location is good; close to the famous temple Kek Lok Si and Penang Hill as well as many coffee shop, food market and small restaurants.. but the hotel looks worn out and only the very basic are provided. The hotel does not provide breakfast. Lobby area has an unpleasant smell (coming from the drainage just outside the hotel main entrance. Hope they could do something about it as it’s not appealing at all for the hotel. We stayed for 2 nights but no housekeeping was done. No hand towels, only 2 bath towels that looks very old though still clean. Staff at the reception counter were quite helpful. On the whole, for the price it’s still worthwhile.

My flight was later in the evening but late check out timing will be 12 pm the latest. In this case I will be out without room for quite a number of hours. To my surprise, the hotel does cater a room for guests to rest and sit in after check out. This room is provide for guests who has check out but flight is much later, to have a place to rest and relax before proceeding to the airport. This is a very thoughtful action.  Thanks.

It a old hotel, but well kept👍. The TV is ancient. The hotel needs to refurbish ASAP.🙏 The staffs is all very friendly and approachable. Except 1 staff at the reception during my checkout. It 11.30am on 29Nov, when I arrived at the reception. A Chinese male staff( slightly plump) just said to me : checking out. Without any smile in a uninterested and bored tone. Every staffs has did a wonderful job , but it takes only one staff to make it a not so pleasant visit. First of all, as a service provider especially in the front line. The basic mannerisms and greetings must be present. Like; Good morning sir. But none of it was displayed by him. To make it worse, he didn't smile at all, and doesn't seem to be interested in serving his guests. Other than that, everything is awesome especially a male malay reception staff. I forgot his name, he has displayed a friendly and helpful image to everyone.

Pleasant and relax stay.. staff were extremely helpful and courteous. Room was spacious and even though the hotel is old, it does practice sustainability. There was a water dispenser just outside our room. Location was just 6mins walk to fankuse Armenian St. Thank you.

The hotel is great, staff are impeccable in their attentiveness to the guest. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast buffet was absolutely outstanding, with an abundance of choices catered to satisfy every taste. The pool and gym are also fantastic, with the added convenience of being open 24/7, to put in an early morning workout. Spacious and very well equipped and maintained. However, our stay was not without faults and there are definitely some things management needs to address: - the noise from the elevator automatic announcements is absurd! the ”doors opening/closing” alerts are constant and audible from neighboring floors as well as your own.If you stay in a room numbered xx15 or xx16, be advised you will not have a pleasant time - we asked to change rooms immediately as soon as we realized this. - elevators can be SLOW, magma slow. it can take a long time to move around if you are staying in a higher floor. We stayed for 2 nights and during that period 2 separate elevators were down for maintenance. It took us a total of 15 minutes to move from one floor to the other, after getting our room changed (for reasons stated above) and new keycards. - the level from street noise audible in the room is just inadmissible at a supposed 5-star hotel level, at least in the rooms facing the main road. These rooms have, inexplicably, a single pane of glass and very tall windows, which makes soundproofing pretty much nonexistent - mat rempit bikes racing in the dead of night, the call to prayer blasting from the loudspeakers of the mosque nearby before 6am, drilling from the construction site nearby, and other nuisances that definitely disturbed my sleep.

Stayed at Jen many times already. Good location for going around George town by foot or by bus/Grab. Breakfast has a lot of choices, I like the fresh fruits & the freshly squeezed juice. Must try the Char Koay Teow, delicious!

I absolutely love this hotel! It far exceeded my expectations. Initially, I just wanted a value-for-money option for my Penang trip, but staying here turned out to be amazing. The location is very convenient for exploring George Town’s attractions. The breakfast is fantastic! On my last day, I had to catch an early flight and paid for breakfast—never expected the variety and quality of food to be so worth the price. The staff are friendly, and the housekeeping team is polite and welcoming. The night view through the floor-to-ceiling windows was my favorite moment each night. I’ll definitely choose St Giles again when I return to Penang!

Gotten assigned a corner room which seems to be larger as compared to other rooms in the middle. The room is very spacious and comfortable. Amenities are plentiful and the best thing is the complimentary drinks and snacks in the room. The gym equipment are quite comprehensive and they have saunas as well. They provide buggy service to the other side (another hotel under the same name) and shopping mall (limited to Gurney Plaza only). One thing to mention, the LED lighting looked nice on the exterior of the hotel, but in contrast it is a bit annoying when staying in the room. Forced to shut the curtain to block out the lights.

Strongly recommend Sunway Georgetown. Tho 31 yr old, extremely well maintained, at least for my room. Location 5*. Just outside hotel bustling with activities n street food stalls in evening. Walking distance to Macalister Road, again bustling with plenty food choices/shops. I can’t find even 1 negative aspect of hotel! Staff very friendly n helpful. The shower water pressure was very strong, can aqua massage. The young male housekeeper always smiling. Also strongly recommend must visit, Kirishima Japanese resto in the lobby of Cittitel Hotel. For hotel setting, n qualify of food, esp sashimi air flown from Japan, can’t get this price n qualify in Singapore! So good that we went twice. Even their Otoro n chuotoro, charged by per piece or set of 5 thick cuts, not think slices, was value for $! Look for the manageress Jane Tan, a gem n star of the resto! Another must visit for morning snacks n kopi, Moh Teng Peow Nonya kueh. Very authentic n traditional setting. Kuehs are handmade in-house! Wonderful experience! The only negative is Penang island itself! Quite dead town, not much changes in tourist attractions from 30 yr ago. Penang hill, khek lok si temple, chawrasta morning market, Armenian street, Cornwall fort. Used to be popular komtar mall, even newer parangin mall are deserted with most shops shuttered! There are many old charm colonial buildings. Most McDonald’s are housed in such colonial buildings. Penangites are generally very friendly. We happen to be here during durian season. Macalister Road n even outside hotel are lined with durian stalls. Relatively much cheaper than in Singapore n I m talking about the AAA grade mao san wang cultivar. Fooding n bingeing is apt for Penang, not touristy spots tho, esp if u have been here before, even long ago. Attached pictures show day n nite views from same angle in the room.
