The room was really tiny. For showering, they only provided a bar of soap or something, because I had to buy my own shower gel and shampoo. Don't even get me started on slippers. Luckily, there's a durian stall downstairs and plenty of places to eat. It's decent value for money, I guess.
The service attitude was quite good, but for the price, the facilities are rather basic. For example, all the cabinets are fake, the air conditioning is noisy and the fan speed can't be adjusted – it only blows cold, not hot. The space isn't big enough to justify the 'luxury' label, and the internet speed was so bad we couldn't even connect. The staff rebooted it several times with no improvement. It was very annoying staying here during the New Year.
Very convenient location, within walking distance to KOMTAR.
The room is simple but clean and comfortable.
There are plenty of food options nearby, so you’ll never run out of places to explore and eat.
It’s easy to find, which makes check-in hassle-free.
I especially love that they provide laundry service for every guest staying here , such a thoughtful and practical touch. One night entitle to one wash
I stayed in the Cyan Premier King room for 5 nights. The room (314) was triangular in shape which was a bit awkward in size and the bathroom door was very close to the bed. The king bed was very comfy and clean. Pillows were great and the air-conditioning was cold and self-adjustable. My only complaint would be the slight mould on the tile grouting in the bathroom (see pics). Service was great and the reception staff were very friendly and helpful. I also managed to get a late checkout for a small additional fee. This is my first time staying at The Loop and it was overall a very pleasant experience.
Good location, near to town, theres farmacy & eateries infront. The staffs are very attentive, easy parking. The room is quite spacious. Few things would like to comment is the bed is kind of slopped at the corner, will need to adjust to sleep at center otherwise not balance. The aircond temperature abit not stable. They dont provide some toiletries like cotton buds etc. Anyway for short stay everything is alright.
This is the best value backpacker hostel in Penang, and it even has a swimming pool! It's my top choice in Penang, especially since it's located in the heritage area of the city, making it super convenient to get around. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby.
The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, providing a relaxing environment after a long day. Housekeeping did a good job, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel felt calm and welcoming.
Superb location, close to so many well known eateries. Rapid bus is at hostel doorstep to commute to various places of interests. Capsule bed is enclosed by concrete wall and you wouldn't hear movements on the top bed. Air conditioning and hot showers are strong. There are many lounges to rest and relax and love the Peranakan ambience of the hostel. Staff are nice and helpful and love that the towels are of the reputable hotel quality and are changed once every 2 days. A bottle of drinking water given everyday by the housekeeper.
The staff were courteous and professional, and check-in and check-out were smooth. Amenities were adequate and met expectations for a comfortable stay.
The centerpiece of this hotel is a square Zen garden, with a rectangular open sky roof that lets rain in to nourish the plants indoors. This very much adds to the relaxing ambience of the place.
One of the best places to hang out at this sizeable hotel is at the commons, where there are comfy leather couches, a TV, a fridge, a water dispenser, an ironing board and also worth mentioning a bookshelf filled with books and board games. It is open for all registered hotel guests to use, and is nicely equipped and furnished.
Working shower with heater. Also, clean toilet. I recommended place to stay for solo travelers or with friends.
I liked this hotel very much. If you stay for three days, the hotel provides laundry service. I would happily stay again
Overall, it was a excellent experience, and I would consider staying here again in the future.
these just some pictures from the bedsheet , i dont want to talk about the floor condition , how hot the room is eventhought the AC was turn on and also toilet and the bath tub separated .
I used to stay here few times in past years . but this , gonna be my last stay with apple 1 times square . i didn't even slept in the room that night , i choose to check out at 2am rather than sleep in that room .
The hotel room was well-equipped and comfortable. There were plenty of hangers available, which made it very convenient to organize clothes. The room also provided a hair dryer, body lotion, shampoo, and a safety box, which were all very useful during the stay. Overall, the amenities were complete and made the experience pleasant.
Location around 1.5 km away from many tourist attractions, like upside museum, UNESCO heritage sites etc.. we had to grab taxi everytime. There is a pool on 1st floor, big enough for children to swim around. Its from 7 am to 7 pm. But to be honest, it could be until 9 pm, kind of strict rules. Check-in counter staff was not that welcoming / nor smile, neither kind words/ But cleaning staff and security was kind, smiling every time as we enter the hotel.
i had a wonderful stay at Bishop Hotel in Georgetown, Penang. the location is absolutely perfect — right in the heart of the UNESCO heritage area, within walking distance to popular attractions, street art, cafes, and amazing local food spots. it made exploring Georgetown so convenient and enjoyable.
the room was cozy, clean, and very comfortable. perfect for relaxing after a full day of sightseeing. everything was well-maintained, and the bed was especially comfortable for a good night’s rest.
overall, Bishop Hotel is a great choice for anyone looking for a centrally located stay with cozy, comfortable rooms in Georgetown. iwould definitely stay here again!
Very Good

Great
Everythings was great! Friendly n helpful staffs! Good location, modern hotel! Well maintained place! Thank you!
The hostel is on its perfect location. It has swimming pool. Working shower with heater. Also, clean toilet. I recommended place to stay for solo travelers.
Very kind receptionist in lobby, who assisted my dad from the seat when noticing him having difficulties to get up. The unit was very clean, though a little bit of smell in toilet, i think it’s due to the piping system of high-rise building. Nice front room with city view. The another room besude entrance is a bit crowded. No wardrobe/clothes hanger, only coat stands. Convenient location with various local eateries in walking distance. Value for the money.
