The SAVV Hotel gets a 10 on all counts. The staff do their all to make your stay memorable. Facilities: Excellent in all respects, and the whole place is clean as if there was a general inspection. The bed, and rooms are very comfy, and the location is great, as are the views. It's great value for your money. I've already extended my stay.

In the heart of historic Georgetown is the quaint boutique property The Campbell House. We loved our stay! Greeted every day with a big smile and so much hospitality by the staff, especially Andy and Kumar! Service and cuisine in the restaurant top notch! Huge room very comfortable with lots of character. We loved the library and terrace for coffee and reading/napping after walking all around Georgetown. So many great places close by and the staff at The Campbell House won't steer you wrong!

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.

Everything! Our room, the facilities and common spaces are all well-maintained and clean. The staff is super friendly and helpful (eg when I asked for directions and recommendations). Everyone was courteous, made us feel welcomed and we were able to watch the Wimbledon final in the hotel bar (thanks Kristina!). Our room's seaview was amazing, the room itself was very spacious and comfortable (especially the wide bed). The cleaning service was excellent. The swimming pool was big, nice to swim in and well-kept; it was evident that the staff went to great lengths to ensure it was consistently cleaned. Behind the pool area guests have direct access to a beach, which is also a great option for walks, swimming and watching sunsets. Very decent breakfast choices.

Thanks for special environment, warm hospitality and the beautiful sea view. I am especially thankful to Mr. Ridzuan from the reception department for his outstanding assistance. He went above and beyond to provide us with the best possible service, distinguishing himself among all his colleagues. I will never forget his warm welcome, which made me feel as I stay in my own home not in a foreign place, and this is the ultimate goal of all hotels. He truly deserves to be recognized as the best employee.

Unfortunately, the sea was too rough to swim whilst we were there, we managed to lie on the sand and let the waves wash over us but it was far to dangerous to venture further out. I expect it is beautiful and safer when it is less stormy. The main street has some great places to eat, the place that does roti opposite The Hard Rock Cafe is excellent and there are lots of places to get a massage, we went to one called Paradise (if I remember rightly) which was nice. The night market is also excellent for food, lots of choice and I'd recommend the satay and curries from there.

I stayed one night in Bukit Mertajam and overall, it was a decent short stop. The town has a quiet, local charm and isn’t too busy, which made it quite relaxing. There’s not a whole lot to do, but it’s a good place if you just want to unwind or try some local food—there are definitely some hidden gems when it comes to hawker stalls and small eateries. That said, it’s not really a tourist-heavy spot, so don’t expect major attractions or much nightlife. It’s more of a laid-back, pass-through kind of town. For one night, it was okay and served its purpose as a quick rest point.

Lift service was poor and shared with Cleaner and laundry team. Delayed the whole process of the lift service which takes 20 to 30 minutes each wait. Noisy and the wall too thin. Can hear every movement of the children jumping and their walks running screaming crying till late nights from neighbours. Toilets are dirty and too small. No closet and plates.

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.
