"Great Value and Location, But Facilities Could be Better
Stay Dates: November 14 - November 17, 2025
Room Type: Double Room High Floor
My recent three-night stay at the Tune Hotel Georgetown Penang was a positive experience overall, primarily due to its unbeatable location and excellent value.
The Location (5/5) truly is the highlight of this hotel. Being situated in Georgetown made exploring the city's main attractions, heritage sites, and famous hawker food spots incredibly convenient. If proximity to the heart of Penang is your priority, this hotel delivers perfectly. The Ondo Bakery across the street was my absolute favorite to visit daily!
The Cleanliness (4/5) and Service (4/5) were both solid and up to standard. The room was kept clean, and the staff were helpful and friendly during check-in and throughout my stay, providing good, reliable service.
The area where the hotel falls a little short is the Facilities (3/5 - Okay). While the room provided the basics needed for a comfortable stay—a comfortable bed and a reliable air conditioning unit—the overall facilities felt quite basic. This is typical of a budget-focused hotel, but those expecting extensive amenities might be disappointed. For a short stay where you plan to be out exploring all day, however, the facilities are perfectly adequate.
In summary, the Tune Hotel Georgetown Penang is an excellent choice for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location above all else. It offers a clean room and good service in a fantastic spot. If the hotel were to upgrade some of its amenities, it would easily earn a five-star rating from me."

"The hotel location isn’t that great but it’s still within the city area. Front desk service is good. We book just for a night to try out and see if we can book again the next round but the experience wasn’t that good and will give this hotel a missed next time.
We’re given a no window in the middle of the hotel room with not much space and not much amenities and no slippers for within the room use. We won’t know if there’s a fire broke out when the alarm or the water sprinkler malfunction.
The rack in the toilet was directly above the toilet seat even when there’s ample space to place in the toilet as it was spacious inside. Too little hanger and place to hang for a family room."

"Hotel room js clean and friendly reception as well as security guard. I was very tired coming down from Hatyai (flood zone). The staff allow me to check in earlier. Appreciate that.
Bed is comfortable and ac is cold. The only negative part is the Ac is quite noisy when it’s at night. Drumming sound from the aircon vent.
Many eateries nearby also 2 shopping (Gama and 1st Avenue) are nearby
Overall is a comfortable hotel to stay."

"We booked Chulia Herritage hotel for a 4 days 3 nights stay via Trip.com. We paid RM709.08 for 2 standard double rooms. We parked our car just infront of our room. We checked in and paid cash of RM12 for tax and another cash of RM100x2room or RM200 as deposit. We got our key card and our room just next to the entrance numbering 122 and 123. Room. We felt that the bed was firm but good enought to support our body also there were 4 pillows on the bed. We were so surprise that Milo 3 in 1 was provided in the room on top of Nescafe and tea begs. There was 2 electricy socket outside the toilet and one beside the window sofa chair. There was 2 sabun name MAY on the basin in the toilet and no toothbrush was provided. I feel happy to stay in this hotel even though sometimes got mosquito attack sometimes. Morning time, we checked to Red note or Google search and found somethings for stomach and we walked to the nearby Pasar or Market in the morning for white coffee and also the Island problem resaurant Japanese fish roe rice not bad for dinner even though not cheap."

GGuest Userthe location is great, you can see the clan bridge from the room window. And access the famous wall painting areas by a few minutes walk. There are plenty of restaurants nearby so even if you return late you can still get good food around.
The bed and pillow are ok, pretty comfortable.
What I don’t like is the noisy. It’s so noisy at night! Even if I wear ear plugs it’s still too much.
The pool is quite small.
You need to pay deposit even if you already paid full price online.
The front desk isn’t 24 hours so if you leave very early in the morning, you need to leave room cards to downstairs security.
VVivienc2This was always the only hotel I chose to stay in Penang. But this time stay was a bit disappointed with the overall staff service level. Not sure if it’s a new batch of staff. But when we entered our room, toilet amenities were empty and I called to request. But when staff came up, entered our room and looked. And again asked what we need. We explained once again and he left and return by giving us 1 set.
But we booked a twin share room. Are u not suppose to give 2 sets?😅
At night when we return, after housekeeping which they should replace but did not give us toilet roll, toilet mat and etc.
So, really disappointed this time as compare to previous few times stay.
GGuest UserThe location of this hotel is superb. Most of the attractions places are within walking distance. With lots of eateries around.
However, the hotel may needs to improve on their amenities such as the towels provided, the air con and housekeeping. I am very suprise that I was provided with towels that are badly torn and on most days it the towels seems used and old.
The hair dryer given also has some electrical problem and was arching which was a bit dangerous. But the hotel staff manage to change it after verifying that the hair dryer given is indeed spoil.
Overall, the only plus point are staffs who are very friendly and try to make sure we are comfortable and the location of the hotel.
MM21987****The hotel's location is good, just a 5-minute walk from the jetty. It's situated in a relatively quiet alley, and most attractions within George Town are within walking distance. However, you'll need a taxi to get to Batu Ferringhi Beach, and taxis can be quite expensive at night. The hotel only provides two bottles of water daily, and if you need more, you have to buy it from outside. Convenience stores are closed when you return late, so I suggest the hotel provides one or two more bottles of water per day. The wet and dry separation in the bathroom only creates two distinct zones. The service was quite attentive, and issues were resolved promptly. The air conditioning was a bit noisy. Breakfast had limited variety, but the quality was decent.
LLai Chan Chow🌟 Warm and Pleasant Stay Experience 🌟
👍 Highlights
I truly enjoyed the hospitality here! The front desk staff were exceptionally friendly, chatty, and made me feel welcomed from the very first moment. The night security guard also deserves special appreciation — he kindly opened the garage gate for me when I returned late at night. It really gave me a sense of comfort and safety, like having my own “gatekeeper.”
The property’s location is convenient, and having a private garage is a huge advantage for those driving — no parking worries at all. The room, though in an older building, was kept clean and well-maintained.
👎 Room for Improvement
Since the building is older, the soundproofing could be better — it might be a bit noisy for light sleepers as it’s located by the roadside.
The bathroom design also needs some improvement. Every shower ended up splashing water all over the floor. Simply adding a sliding door or at least a shower curtain would solve this issue easily. I even found myself wiping and squeezing the floor dry each time to prevent slipping — a small change could make a big difference!
It would also be nice if the hotel could provide a few basic amenities such as daily bottled water, tissues, hair conditioner, slippers, and dental kits.
💬 Overall Impression
Despite a few minor drawbacks, the service warmth truly stood out. The staff’s friendliness and attentiveness made my stay feel cozy, safe, and very welcoming. I would still recommend this place, especially for travelers who value kind service and convenient parking ❤️.
Wwxck83****The location is fantastic, with large shopping malls and supermarkets both in front and behind. Downstairs, there are countless local eateries. The three-street night market is just a 5-minute walk away. The room is fully equipped; though small, it has everything you need.
CCHONG CHING3 Days 2 nights stay at Chulia Mansion Georgetown
We booked 2 superior rooms for 2 nights via trip.com for Rm644.40 or Rm161.10/room/night . We checked in to Room 207 and room 215 upon arrival.
Once the door of Room 207 was opened, a bad odour full of stingy smell appeared. We did not care to take action at that moment. We went out for good food. After coming back to hotel to rest, we tried to check whereabout the smell coming from, and to take action by closing the toilet door from that moment thru the night. Sad to say, the stingy smell was still there all night long, and I could not have a good night sleep thru the night while surrounded with bad odour.
On top of that, the toilet shower rubber hose was cracked and water rushed out during our shower in day time.
The following day, I went to the lobby to tell the hotel lady, all the facts and request to change to another room. The lady checked the hotel computer system and told me that the hotel was fully booked a night before once housekeeping was done, they will give me a new room. That was roughly 12 noon. So, they tell me to go back to stay in room 207 to rest, and to wait for her call.
At 12 something , one man knocked on my door and sprayed our room 207 with air freshener, changed the hose and left.
By 1pm, I was uneasy and I went to the Lobby to follow up with the change of room. The same lady was watching something like movie her table, I asked her why nothing done to call and inform me to change to a new room. She raised her head and looked at me and said that the housekeeper informed her that there was nothing wrong with the room.
At that moment, my temper was up and I told her firmly and repeatedly that i want to change to a new room.
The next thing happened was that we were checked into room 315. We were lucky and happy that room 315 has no bad stingy smell. However, the shower hose in the room 315 was rosak then again I told the lobby about the facts.
So, moral of my stay is to follow up with the LOBBY all issues and defect in the hotel room that I feel unhappy with.
The whole purpose of the stay is to get happiness and relax by paying cash that worth the value, and not wait until check out to complain.
Last but not least, room 215 facing the street also noisy due to the sound and noise coming from motorcycle , cars and vehicles during daytime outside street, and also live band, loud music and pub. You can also hear music and live band coming from the roof of Chulia Mansion building itself.
Finally, I think if you are a light sleeper this hotel definitely is not your choice.
GGuest UserSwimming 🏊♀️ pool is a bit too small for lap swim. Room temperature is reducing very slowly even after re-set at low level. Seems some noise heard at corridor or somewhere else, not able to discern the location. Overall this hotel is decent and value for money. 👍
AAnonymous UserLocation near tourist attraction and easy to find restaurants nearby, but walkable. Twin room with two bathroom was the best! All areas in hotel are in pink colour. Just that the aircond cannot be adjusted (not sure why or only our room) and minor water dripping. Overall, it was a good stay for 2 nights with very affordable price. Thanks
AAllie LEverything is good except the service provided by the hotel front desk Chinese woman. She totally not suitable to work in hotel line as she is not customer oriented at all.
1. She pretended didn’t hear me talking to her asking if I can place my luggage at the hotel or if I can make early check in. She with the EXTREMELY RUDE MANNER, ask me to refer to the security guard and insisted do not have room available for early check in (even though that time is about 3pm) She don’t even want to look at the hotel guest’s face while talking to them.
2. On the next morning, when I approached her again to complaint on the noise from the lift opposite my room; she again repeated her IGNORANCE ATTITUDE. What I can see is she attempted to use her ignorance attitude to push all the guest request or enquiries to her colleague.
The mentioned front desk Chinese woman whom represents the hotel image; totally should be removed for continuing spoiling the hotel brand with her RUDE attitude.
Overall this hotel deserves for 5 stars rating however 2 stars remove due to this front desk Chinese woman’s unprofessionalism . (Her name tag is with 3 words Chinese name) and I think is the only Chinese staff of this hotel.
This hotel location is very strategic, room size acceptable for the price paid, hotel staff (Front desk a Malay guy, an Indian girl, a Malay lady and the Security guard) are helpful and friendly.
