Best George Town Hotels

"I stayed for one night at The Chambers Hotel. Though it’s well maintained, it still looks dated but still comfortable enough. The receptionist was friendly enough to upgrade me to family room as my own room type was already full. Wifi is quite strong though it may lag sometimes when streaming videos. The toiletries are relatively sufficient with both shampoo/body soap combo and toilet paper (though there’s a bidet spray). I couldn’t find the hair dryer and was careful about opening drawers as some of them looked old and brittle. It would be good if the furniture could be maintained better. Location-wise, this is a very good location as it’s just opposite the Esplanade. It’s a good location for those who wants to mostly visit points of interest in historical George Town. I picked this location as I needed to take my ferry to Butterworth in the morning and this is just 10 minutes walk away. However, as it’s right next to the main road, there tends to be noisy cars passing by even during the wee hours. Convenience wise, there is a water dispenser in the hotel and there is also a 7-Eleven if you need stuff late at night."

"This time I visited Penang again after 13 years. I wanted to visit places I hadn't been to last time and experience Nyonya culture again. So I chose a museum hotel with a Nanyang style. The hotel decoration is very distinctive and the transportation is convenient, but the room has no windows and the smell is not good. The hot water ran out in the middle of the shower because a switch controls the temperature. This is the first time I have seen this. There was an Indian woman at the front desk with a very average service attitude. The breakfast a la carte was a waste of time, and the front desk did not remind me that I needed to wait."

"If you are tired or sensitive to noise, this hotel is not for you. Because the house is old, the sound insulation is not ideal, and there are creaking sounds from cars, motorcycles and old houses outside the window. Since you need to take off your shoes before going up to the guest room, be careful of the slippery solid wood floor, I almost fell. There was a power outage downstairs on the night I checked in. Be careful when choosing a loft room, because there is a thick beam above the front of the bed. If you mind, don't choose it. The hotel can be said to be very distinctive and beautiful, and it is very suitable for those who like the historical and cultural heritage of Nanyang. The staff is very friendly and the service is proactive and enthusiastic, but based on my experience this time, I can't give a high score."

"if you guys are looking for place that are really near to penang street art and padang kota, then Bishop Hotel is really the best to stay. it is so near to Georgetown main attraction as it is really walkable. staff is really friendly and check in process is really fast. required a deposit of rm100 and can be obtain back after check out. speaking of room, it’s not spacious enough, thin wall and no fridge. but it’s quite ok if just wanna hangout and chill. other than that, it was a really nice experience staying at this hotel. definitely would love to stay here again in the future."

"Location is good , is near to George hotel and lots of food stall within walking distance in the evening . Morning you able to find walking distance of kopitiam for breakfast if you want to try local food"

"Perfect small room just nice for 1 travellers with all amenities in place. Kettle/ fridge etc Comfy bed w cold aircon.. I chose room without window becos i can have a good rest without the sun."

"The hotel location is superb.. it is along the Penang Road that was very easily can find hawkers foods. The hotel provide slipper for those who do not bring to walk around the city. Overall it was a pleasant stay."

"Pro Location is super near to a very big mall which is Gurney Plaza, just walk less than 2min after exit hotel lobby Cleaniness are well maintained. Super friendly staff, feels welcome the moment u stepped in. I took the executive package which comes with free flow drinks, food, and also simple dinner and free flow alcohol in the evening. However if you are planning for food trip around Penang you might want to opt out this. Free parking, decent size swimming pool for children, great gym with lots of equipment but might be a bit cramp, great variety for breakfast buffet. They share facilities with nearby G Hotel Kelawei like swimming pool, gym and lounge. Besides Kelawei has a pool party which is free to play. They have a buggy to bring you there too. Cons I got a room with bad working AC. Took some time to get it done. I took the buffet dinner at 168 but not much choices and even though the theme is crab but the crab always gone the moment they refill and you need to wait min 10min till the next round. Would recommend to go outside for a better dinner."

"It’s my second stay at Spices, a restored heritage shophouse hotel with nine rooms. With complimentary coffee and tea as well as a library, the two lounge areas are a peaceful place to relax and unwind after a day of gallivanting, exploring, and eating your way through Georgetown’s bustling markets. It’s in an ideal central location while also being down a quiet street, so there’s not much noise, even if your room is street side. There is a mosque nearby though, so light sleepers will have an early wake up. Thank you to the friendly staff for accommodating me again."

"A Chinese-owned bed and breakfast is very close to the surname bridge. There are also many Chinese-opened tea rooms for breakfast. The room is small, the toilet is cool, and no one can speak Chinese when the boss is absent. The grand birthday of the Tiangong, I do not know whether it is fireworks or someone hit the window. Anyway, when the shower was in the window, the window was so loud that the mother was scared. I thought someone was out of the window. I quickly called to come over and check, and I didn’t find out the reason. The staff was also very good. It’s said that we didn’t change rooms, and we didn’t bother to change the last day."
