Homestays in Penang, Malaysia

This hotel is excellent. It's brand new and completely odor-free. The rooms even have water purifiers for direct drinking, and hot water is readily available – a huge plus since most hotels in Malaysia don't provide bottled mineral water, and buying it outside can be quite cumbersome. The room design is superb and very well-suited for Chinese guests, with brand new kitchen utensils too. The hotel's location is also fantastic. Just a short walk away, you can catch a free bus for sightseeing around Penang. It's less than a 10-minute walk from the former site where Sun Yat-sen founded the Tongmenghui, and GAMA Supermarket is also within walking distance, offering great products at reasonable prices. You can take the free bus to many attractions. It's also conveniently located about a 30-minute drive from the airport. Plus, you can easily get to the jetty to catch a ferry to Butterworth and then take a train to Ipoh, or even directly to Kuala Lumpur. All in all, it's incredibly convenient and definitely worth staying. This hotel is a perfect choice for a trip to Penang.

The room is clean and spacious ,the staffs are friendly and alert. I will revisit and stay here next time in future. Recommend

The room was clean and the view was great. Just remember to turn on the hot water switch as soon as you enter the room for hot showers. You'll need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste, as they aren't provided. Also, there's no luggage storage service here; you'll have to go to the building across the street for that.

We booked this place out of spontaneity. Didn't really do much research about it and rely purely on the reviews. But the place really exceeds our expectations! The view is the winning point and the beds are out of this world. In the unit itself there is no washer provided but it's not an issue since the paid version is ready at the common area. For the price and the size of the unit, I would definitely revisit it in my next trip

Layout is nice and comfortable. The kids love it. I like the drawers provided under the beds. Initially I was worried about lack of a cabinet for clothes. Water dispenser is very well used by us. Plenty of power sockets near the bed. Swimming pool had a great view. Chlorine taste was crazy strong though. Kids thought the water was salty. Biggest gripe is that this place is too popular. 4 lifts serving the 30+ levels of patrons are not sufficient. During peak periods like meal, arrival or checkout timings, we waited more than 15mins to get into the lift. Overall very pleasant stay.

Spacious, clean, and very comfortable accommodation. Friendly service, great amenities. Everything is designed for a wonderful, comfortable stay. Iron, ironing board, and hairdryer provided, as well as shampoo and body wash. The location is not ideal. Although surrounded by a few restaurants, there is a very limited choice for vegetarians and vegans. Also, the coffee offered in the apartment contains milk and sugar. Instead, I'd recommend having black coffee with separate sugar and creamer sachets.

The service apartment is new, but only 4 lift cater for 36 storey, waiting time take too long, we miss the facilities floor. The apartment doesn't come with free parking, carpark is chargeable RM9 per day stay at level 3 to level 10, the carpark ramp is very narrow. Room is clean, but bathroom shower water pressure is too low.

Excellent location, clean rooms, and a simple yet comfortable design. Had a pleasant stay and hope they continue maintaining the property this well. 👍🏼

Great location, with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby, and close to the main historical sites. It's a cozy hotel, and the family room was spacious. Everything we needed was in the room (fridge, two AC units, hot water, mugs). On the downside, the room wasn't cleaned once during our 5-day stay. Also, the soundproofing was poor (though it didn't bother us much, it might be an issue for older guests). The door lock was a bit tricky to open.

Had a pleasant stay at Iconic Regency Residence. The location is very convenient, with easy access to both Queensbay Mall and Penang International Airport, making it a good choice for travellers. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and everything was generally in good working condition. One feature we particularly appreciated was having two bathrooms, which made the stay much more convenient for a family or group. While the unit is fairly standard and not especially luxurious, it provides everything needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, a practical and well-located accommodation that offers good value for money. Would consider staying here again when visiting Penang.
