Here's I had a wonderful stay here for 2 nights and honestly have nothing negative to say about my experience. The hotel's location is excellent and one of its biggest advantages. It is conveniently situated close to many of Georgetown's most popular attractions, restaurants, cafes, street art spots, and local landmarks, making it very easy to explore the area on foot without needing transportation. The check-in and check-out process was quick, smooth, and hassle-free. From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, professional, and always happy to assist with any questions or requests. Their friendly attitude made me feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout my stay. The room was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable visit. Although the room was slightly compact, it was thoughtfully designed and made good use of the available space. All the facilities and amenities worked perfectly, including the air conditioning, Wi-Fi, lighting, and bathroom facilities, which made my stay even more enjoyable. I also appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, which allowed me to relax after a full day of exploring Georgetown. The combination of a great location, clean rooms, efficient service, and friendly staff made this hotel a fantastic choice for both short and longer stays. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience and would not hesitate to stay here again on my next visit to Penang. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable stay in the heart of Georgetown!

Everything of this hotel is all good, the location, the environment. In the radius of one kilometer you can get anything all kind of food either morning or at night, convenient store, the shopping mall, souvenir shop. There is only one thing that I have problem with. The double bed that I have is a little bit of shaky and making sound every time I flip my body .. you know especially at night, it makes things uncomfortable. The hotel should have to do something about this. Over all things are excellent, I recommend this hotel and would come back again.

Stayed at Hotel Mokozoyo recently and had a really pleasant experience overall. I requested a quiet room after reading about potential noise from the main road and surrounding areas, and I’m glad that was accommodated — it made the stay much more comfortable. The room itself has a nice, well-organised layout with a clean and modern feel. The hotel’s design really stands out, especially the stylish raw-concrete aesthetic, which gives it a minimalist yet very polished vibe. Cleanliness throughout the property was also excellent. What makes it even better is the location — being right in the heart of George Town means unbeatable walkability to local food streets, cafés, and major attractions, which made exploring extremely convenient. Overall, a well-designed boutique stay with great location, solid comfort, and thoughtful room arrangements.

The hotel's location is excellent and easy to find, very close to all the attractions in the Old Town. The hotel decor is also very nice, and the front desk staff were warm and helpful. The facilities are all quite good, though they don't provide slippers and you have to ask the front desk for toiletries. Overall, a really great stay.

Nio Hotel Penang offers good value for money and is a reasonable choice for travellers looking for a clean and affordable stay. The hotel itself feels a bit dated, and the rooms are on the smaller side, but everything was kept very clean and well maintained during my visit. Amenities are fairly basic and minimal, with quality that reflects the budget-friendly pricing. One thing worth noting is that there is no television in the room, which may be a drawback for some guests expecting standard hotel entertainment options. During my stay, I encountered an issue with a faulty item in the room. However, the situation was handled well, with the manager personally reaching out and ensuring that the matter was resolved professionally. This level of attention and follow-up was appreciated and helped improve the overall experience. While the hotel does not offer many extras, it delivers the essentials well: a clean room, a comfortable stay, and responsive management. Overall, Nio Hotel Penang is a solid option for the price, particularly for travellers who prioritise cleanliness and value over luxury amenities.

The location is within the small, busiest tourist attraction - Jalan Pasar in the small Ayer Hitam town. Yet, you get assured of a safe parking lot, quiet morning and night with the least disturbed sleep and conveniences in visiting Penang's famous tourist attraction - Kek Lok Si in Ayer Hitam. Hotel snd rooms are spacious and clean. Beds ate large and comfortable. Will definitely return and bring along other family members next time, and every time when in Penang.

My stay at Neo+ Hotel was very pleasant. The hotel's location is super convenient, with many restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and getting around is a breeze. There's even a bar right across the street, which is great if you want a drink or to hang out with friends in the evening, yet the room remained quite quiet and wasn't significantly disturbed by noise. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Both check-in and check-out were smooth. Overall, it offers great value for money and is a highly recommended accommodation option.

I couldn't resist and ended up extending my stay here multiple times! I really love the atmosphere in Penang, and the durian is absolutely delicious. This hotel has a great location, and they even provide Penang travel tips in the room. In fact, I discovered the amazing Escape Theme Park, which I almost overlooked, thanks to a brochure in my room. The hotel is also very close to the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Centre.

Solo traveler (female), May Fri-Mon Check in was smooth; I reached slightly past 3pm and was giving my room after a quick check in process. Staff was polite There was knocking sound in the middle of the 1st night that lasted till morning. I reported this to Karthi. She promised to look into it and offered a change of room in the worse scenario. When i checked with the staffs in the evening, they mentioned the noise came from another room and they have spoken to the guest. I turned down the offer to change room as its too troublesome so the staffs promised they will come by if there was noise again. Thankfully no more noise. My late checkout request was also granted by Karthi. Very thankful for that! Room size is just enough for a solo traveler. It's clean. Water dispenser located at lift lobby is a bonus. The view was great! Location is pretty good too. I tried the massage at St Giles, very skillful. But environment wise is very basic, do not expect spa ambiance. Very happy with my stay. Staffs provided really good service!

RRay Mak Hon KitWe stayed two nights at Summer Tree Hotel Penang during our trip to Penang. One of the main reasons I chose this hotel was its location — right in the heart of Georgetown near Komtar, which makes it very convenient for getting around. It also offers parking, which is a big plus in this area. Another reason was the late check-in option, as I was having dinner with a friend in Nibong Tebal, which is quite a distance away. The pricing was also reasonable, making it an attractive choice overall. Upon arrival, however, parking was already full. I had to park at a space right in front of the hotel where delivery trucks usually arrive in the morning. This made me slightly anxious, as I was worried I might be asked to move my car early the next day. The lobby is simple but modern, with a creative, slightly hipster and artistic vibe — almost like a small modern art space. There are vending machines offering snacks, drinks, and essentials for travelers. At the back, there are toilets and also a laundry area with washing machines. A small coffee corner and even an old-school arcade game machine add a nice nostalgic touch, which was a pleasant surprise. However, the room itself was quite disappointing. While the room is basic and small — which I don’t mind — the flooring under the carpet felt severely damaged. Walking on it felt uneven and almost “soft,” as if the ground beneath had deteriorated. It gave a very uncomfortable and unsettling feeling, possibly due to moisture or termite damage underneath. Another concern was the bathroom design. There is an elevated step at the entrance, which becomes a clear trip hazard. I actually tripped once when entering. Even after that, I had to be very cautious because the floor just outside the bathroom is extremely slippery. Every entry and exit required full attention. There is also no proper shelf or platform inside the shower area to place shampoo or shower gel. We had to repeatedly open and close the glass door just to access toiletries during showering, which was inconvenient. Only basic amenities like shower gel and liquid hand soap were provided. The room was also advertised with a decent view, but the window was covered with a mesh, and since we were on the first floor, there was very little to see. On the positive side, the water dispenser outside the room was very convenient. The next day, parking was still full, so we had to park at a private area nearby. Since it was raining, the walk back to the hotel was quite inconvenient as well. Overall, while the location and concept of the hotel are strong, the room condition and safety design issues need serious attention. I would strongly recommend replacing the carpet flooring with vinyl wood flooring for durability and hygiene. As for the bathroom layout, improvements may be limited due to structure, but safety enhancements like anti-slip flooring would make a big difference.

MMoh UsmanThe location is the key. It sits in centre of george town, easy to walk to key places in george town like armenia street, chulia and canon street. Everywhere its under 10 minutes walk. Apart from that cleanliness is another feature you can trust here. A great value of money for 3 star stay in penang. We didn't try breakfast so not sure about that but there are alot of breakfast options around the hotel.

AAnonymous UserI did a lot of research before deciding on Hotel Sentral Seaview by the Beach. Most reviews weren’t favorable however I was willing to take a risk considering my last hotel was horrible. Overall, I was surprised and it has exceeded my expectations. Having said that my expectations were pretty low! Positives: - Rooms were clean. The hardware of the hotel has undergone some major wear and tear. However, the hotel and room has undergone a fresh coat of paint. There is a faint smell of paint, but that for me wasn’t a negative. - Initially in my room was facing the hotel next-door. On the same level I could see the security guards and the neighbor hotel walk back-and-forth. As a female guest, this made me feel super uncomfortable. I went downstairs and requested a room change. The response from the front desk was “Just close your curtains.” In the end I was changed to another room on the other side of the hotel facing the ocean. - The view! Wow. Seeing and hearing the waves from the beach.. all the stress falls away! Because I was given this room, I made the decision to rebook another 2 nights at the hotel! - Wi-Fi was strong. - Hardly anyone using the pool, which made it really peaceful and quiet. Water is cool and clean. On the first day I was there the hotel were doing maintenance and cleaning of the pool area. - The beach is quiet (not many people) - and quite clean. - Right in front of the hotel, few footsteps away is a huge food court with lots of variety of food. It’s fantastic. 10 min walk is Lotus Mall. - There is a bus stop outside. Take 101 to go to Batu Ferringhi Beach. - 200 m from the hotel is the Oceano Symphony cafe. Good food and drinks. - Breakfast - was basic but ok. - Staff are friendly and helpful! Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives. I can understand that this hotel may not be the standard of a lot of international guests. But for peace, little crowds and sounds of the waves, in a quiet spot on the Penang island it’s been great.
