The rooms are separated from tour route. It gives privacy and you have a different view in the building. We had a welcome snack and it was a sweet move! Facilities are pretty complete in the room.

Everything about this hotel is fabulous. There is so much history attached to the hotel. It was like being transformed back in time. The staff are all helpful and polite. Excellent food in all the restaurants. Beautiful, clean, and comfortable rooms. I can't find anything negative to say about this hotel. 100% recommend a stay here when visiting Penang.

FAQs about hotels in Penang

A Palm-Lined Pearl

An island and part of the mainland make up the small Malaysian region of Penang, also known as the ‘pearl of the Orient’. It has long been coveted and the capital Georgetown has many elegant Colonial buildings. The observation deck of the KOMTAR tower – the tallest building – offers spectacular views of the town and surrounding mountains.

A funicular railway goes up to Penang Hill deep in the forest. Nearby Air Itam has one of Asia’s largest Buddhist temples - Kek Lok Si – lit by hundreds of lights at night. Another fantastic temple is Taoist Kong Hock Keong in Georgetown.

Penang Airport is near southern Bayan Lepas, and across the Malacca Strait is Pulau Jerejak, a peaceful island where trees merge into ocean.

In the much livelier north, Batu Feringghi is the largest resort, with lots of Penang hotels on the beach, plenty of bars and a night market. East, green mountains slope down to blue waters at Tanjung Bungah, where several high-rise hotels overlook the palm-lined beach towards the Floating Mosque just offshore.

On the mainland Butterworth is the departure point for ferries to Penang island, and has a bird park housing a large number of Malaysian species. Wherever you decide to stay, Booking.com has a fantastic range of Penang hotels and apartments to choose from.

We enjoyed the place a lot, staff were very helpful. Although I lost my guarantee letter I was still given back my cash. Definitely coming back this place was one of the things that made me love Penang. The breakfast was amazing with lots of varieties. 😅I wish the way to the parking was a little bit bigger, but it was fine.

I was at Penang Hill.

I was at Penang Hill. It was supposed to be only for 30 minutes, but the furnicular train ride was so smooth on a sunny afternoon at 1:30PM that upon arrival I could not resist staying for nearly 90 minutes - as the place has been upgraded very well. The weather is slightly warmer than Cameron Highlands only. There is a construction work to upgrade the hawker area. I will return in 3 years' time. There is no more ferry rides for cars. I drove in from Butterworth using the Penang (first) bridge and left Georgetown via the Second Bridge. This 2nd bridge ride is much longer - and the scenery makes a happy memorable holiday.

1)I travelled to Penang 450 km by car, specifically wanted to swim at my regular Tajung Bunga/Batu Feringgi , that's why i chose beach frontage hotel, but warned of jelly fish bite. 2) I was harassed for parking at the lobby while doing the registration, knowing pretty well that the space at the lobby frontage was wide enough to easily park 5 cars. It was empty.

The small town has changed a lot, but still buzzling with lives and activities. A bit problematic to navigate the roads that can be confusing to those who visit the first time. The hotel should do a survey on the local food and provide a list of eateries worth trying.

Tanjung Bungah is a wonderful place to stay, offering a picturesque and clean environment right along the coast.

recently stayed at this Airbnb, and unfortunately, the experience was not great. The house is located very close to a mosque, and the loud prayers start at 6 AM daily, which is disruptive if you’re planning to sleep in. The house is also much smaller than expected for a double-storey unit. The living room is cramped and not ideal for hosting friends. All the rooms are small, and the kitchen is equally compact, so don’t expect much space here. A major inconvenience is the smart key system, which turns off the electricity when you leave the house. This means you can’t leave any devices charging or keep the air conditioning running while you’re out for lunch or dinner. Plus, there’s no air conditioning in the living room, which makes the space uncomfortable during hot days. Communication was another issue. The owner does not understand English and only speaks Malay, which made communication uncomfortable for me. On top of that, there is a CCTV camera outside the car porch, and the owner won’t allow you to turn off the modem, so it feels like you’re being constantly monitored. I found this quite unsettling. Lastly, the water pressure in the toilet is low, which was an additional disappointment. Overall, this stay was not as expected, and there are better options available for the price.
