My room, 202, was big enough, nice big bathroom, very modern style, quite, relaxing mattress. Strong wifi. They carry your stuff up and down since there's no elevator.

One of the best places I've stayed. Location is right smack in the centre.Beautiful hotel and exceptional service.

Singapore

Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They upgraded our room to suite with no extra charges. They gave us tips on visting attractions, halal restaurants, and helped us in booking the train to KL. Hotel is very clean. Location is walking distance to many attractions and transportation.

Good staff, great ambiance and the only “but” is the outside view is not appealing to the eyes at a first sight.

Really cool place. We got upgraded to a suite for free. Rooms are super clean and staff is friendly. Lots of restaurants in the area. 2 nights are enough in penang.

Excellent location - very lively around, with restaurants, shops, bars, temples. In the middle of the center. The hotel itself is nicely designed. Good, friendly service. We are sorry we left. :)

Located right in the center of Chulia street with lots of great food and happenings. Free parking (but on first come first serve basis) behind the hotel. The beds were ok and the shower was great. Love the smart tv that came with Netflix! Staff were very kind too - unfortunately we fell ill and they were kind enough to get us some meds. Very grateful for your care.

Welcome fruit cocktail was delicious. Checking in took a long time. Hotel was very clean, and in a convenient spot. Raj was keen to help in any way. Room on main street, but was very quiet. There are some stairs - no lift. No shoes to be worn inside the hotel.

The front desk on the top level has a good view of the skyline of the city’s old town. We can lie down in the sofa or dip into the mini swimming pool outside there relaxing and enjoying the view. I also like the bar on the first level. The table there is so beautiful. Anyway, the facility outside the room make the staying in this property so cozy and comfortable.

The swimming pool is not as expected , the pictures of it on the website are a bit tricky. It is more like a small bath/and looks like a fish tank.
One of the best hotel I had the chance to experience in Malaysia by far, for its very personal treatment of each customer, for the size of the room and the quality of the facility, without even mentioning the excellent and efficient staff! A fantastic surprise. Last but not least, due to the few people present at that time in the hotel, we ve been upgrade to the Suite ! Thank You very much Tien Hotel .

Our Room was rather small but the shared spaces like kitchen, lounge and sun deck more than made up for that. The only thing that really bothered us was that there was no door to the bathroom, in particular the toilet. The large curtain is just not an adequate replacement. We ended up leaving the room to give each other more privacy.
Lovely small Boutique Hotel! A little hard to find and from the outside you would never guess what gem is hiding inside: • Modern yet cozy furnished, with so many lovely details (e.g. shower head equipped with Bluetooth loudspeaker) • Large common areas such as a well-stocked kitchen (complementary tea & coffee available), sun deck including a small but really nice pool and a lounge and bar • Super nice staff that really goes the extra mile to make you „feel like at home“ (quote) - including a complementary glass of wine served directly at the pool Would totally recommend and stay there again.

The breakfast is taken in a nearby bar. Is frankly avoidable cause nothing special and given the presence of so many places in the street
The kindness of all the personnel; we have been welcomed impressively and also upgraded to a suite. The hotel is in a good position nearby the UNESCO protected zone and in a pretty alive area, daytime and nighttime. The plunge pool is small but perfect for a refreshing bath overlooking the roofs. Sofas and relaxing areas are well spread and there is a coffee area with some snacks provided.
