Stayed at Citadines Tanjung Tokong Penang and had a pleasant experience overall.
The location is quite convenient, situated between George Town and Batu Ferringhi. It’s not right in the busy Georgetown area, which I actually appreciated for a quieter stay, but still easy to get around.
The room feels new and well-maintained, and the amenities are solid. One highlight for me was the shower. The water pressure is strong, which makes a big difference after a long day out.
They also provide complimentary parking for guests, which is very convenient if you’re driving.
Overall, a comfortable and value-for-money stay. Would consider coming back
The sea view from the bedroom and bathroom was absolutely stunning and really captivated me. I also loved the apartment layout. The living room was spacious, and having a large fridge, washing machine, and kitchen was very convenient, even though we didn't use them. The hotel breakfast didn't have a huge variety, but the food was good, and the service was excellent. Right next door there's a mall with a 24-hour convenience store and two spa places. The night market and food stalls are within walking distance, and Gurney Plaza isn't too far either; we walked there both evenings for some shopping.
Okay, it's cheap, but the location is actually quite far from Kampung Agong, even though it says it's only 11km on the booking. It took us 1 hour 40 minutes, almost 2 hours!
Our stay at Citadines Connect was fabulous. It was really quiet yet the location was nice and central (near lots of sights and great food places). We were lucky enough to be in block B which faces another building so there was literally no traffic noise and we barely noticed other travellers because of the insulation between rooms. The bathroom was very clean and serviced daily beautifully. The staff helped us a lot when trying to book our next steps of our journey to Ipoh. Finally, the infinity pool was a dream, particularly because we had it all to ourselves! Nothing quite like listening to the call to prayer while floating in a crystalline pool 4 floors you. This hotel was the best - highly recommended.
Super great hotel that is located 1 min walk from Cecil Street Market that offers decent duck soup noodles, chow kuey teow and egg oysters. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and well maintained. There is a mini gym and nice pool too. Highly recommended!
This loft in the city center is relatively decent. It's perfectly located for all the attractions. The airport bus stop is just a 10-minute walk from the hotel. There are two large shopping malls nearby. A big thank you to the staff for letting us check in early. The bed linen was soft and the air conditioning worked perfectly. Shampoo and shower gel were provided for free. There's a water cooler (hot/cold) on the floor. The fridge worked great, and there was also a kettle and toaster in the room.
As for the downsides: The cleanliness of the room was so-so – dusty, with a somewhat worn-out renovation, and some noticeable dirt stains in places. The shower only had lukewarm water. There were no face towels. One of the bath towels had a stain. There were ants running around near the fridge, seemingly knowing where the food was, so make sure to put all your food straight into the fridge. I left a biscuit on the table and ants swarmed it. There are no double-glazed windows, and since our room faced the street, we could hear passing cars perfectly. It's tolerable for a night or two, but not for any longer.
The room is very clean and comfortable. The bedroom and living area are separated, making it quiet and relaxing for sleep. The location is also very convenient, with plenty of food options nearby. Highly recommended!
This hotel is perfectly situated between the city and the famous beach. Plenty of food options and shopping malls are right around the corner. Downstairs and in the immediate vicinity, there's a fantastic food court, numerous malls, cafes, and restaurants, offering a huge variety of choices. The food court even features vendors selling authentic local delicacies. I highly recommend this hotel, the scenery is beautiful. Enjoy the sunrise with a cup of coffee and savor life.
We booked this suite during the May Day holiday, and for just over 400, it was incredible value for money. As soon as we arrived, the owner greeted us warmly, gave us tips for Penang, and the housekeeper helped us carry our luggage upstairs and turned on the air conditioning. It's only a few minutes' taxi ride from Ferringhi Beach. In the evening, we watched a stunning sunset and a fire dance performance on the beach, which was absolutely fantastic! The next morning, we even caught a beautiful pink sunrise – honestly, we felt so lucky. I have to say, the actual place looks much better than in the pictures.

GGuest UserFound this gem of a place by accident. With many hotels increasing rates during the festive season I managed to book a room here for a price I thought was way below the average for a 3 room unit.
Of course my expectations were not much BUT when I arrived I was pleasantly surprised - what I say a “bang for your buck” - it was near one of the busiest shopping complexes and close to highways which was a breeze until u hit town (obviously). My room even had a sea view.
It’s tucked away outside the busy streets and to me it gave me the extra quietness and calm I needed after a long drive. I hit the pool and tried the gym - not a big gym but “it’s all there”.
This is what I noticed : bus station and airport was in my opinion nearby (no more than a 20min grab ride)
In short you can’t fault this property for the price you’re paying. I will be back! Tq for making the stay memorable.
