Swing & Pillows @ 75 Chulia St, Georgetown Penang

We were really disappointed to find our bed had bed bugs on our final night here. Once we noticed this we tried to find the receptionist and message but no response, we left the property and booked a new place for the night. Although the accomodation was budget friendly we found there were a few major flaws. The place is not very clean and to make this worse if you stay on the second floor you have to take your shoes off, which isn’t a good feeling at all. The bathrooms are unisex and the shower inside the toilet is very squashed. We often found the toilets were dirty and we didn’t want to use them and the floors were always wet. The floor shakes so much that when someone walked past our room, our bed also moved and woke us up. It’s also advertised as a non smoking accommodation, but there is an ash tray they have put out on the second floor common area, if someone smokes the whole floor smells like smoke for hours. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, the photos look nice but it is not nice in person. Definitely spend more money and enjoy your stay in George Town

clean and tidy

Best ever in this price range

Excellent

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Stay at Swing & Pillows – Excellent Staff! I had a fantastic experience at Swing & Pillows Hotel, 75 Muntri, during my stay in Penang. The hotel is in a perfect location—close to everything, yet peaceful and comfortable. The rooms were clean, modern, and well-maintained, offering great value for money. What truly made the difference, though, was the outstanding service from Sutharsan. From the moment I checked in, he was incredibly welcoming, professional, and helpful. Whether it was assisting with my luggage, providing local tips, or making sure all my needs were met, Sutharsan went above and beyond with genuine kindness and attention to detail. It's rare to find staff like him who not only do their job well but also genuinely care about making your stay enjoyable. Thanks to him, I felt very comfortable and well taken care of throughout my time there. Highly recommend this hotel and if you're lucky enough to be assisted by Sutharsan, you’ll be in excellent hands.
