Great
GGuest UserThe room was beautifully vintage and spacious, leaving an amazing first impression. However, on the first night, the sheets had stains as pictured, and after reporting it, they were changed the next day. On the morning of the third day, I found what looked like mouse droppings on the balcony floor (pictured in image 4). I recognized them because I used to own hamsters; otherwise, I wouldn't have thought it. But the hotel denied it was mouse droppings, suggesting it might be bird droppings, as they had just disinfected a few days prior. Additionally, at breakfast, a middle-aged female server roughly cleared our plates without asking, making a lot of noise. This contrasted sharply with another younger, seemingly Indian male server who was smiling and polite when offering service. The hotel's response to these issues was just an apology and cleaning the balcony, which felt very perfunctory.

GGuest UserThe hotel's location is great. During my three-day stay, I could easily walk to Mural Street every day, and enjoy durian and highly-rated restaurants at my leisure. There's also a shopping mall nearby with a supermarket, Watsons, and an ATM for currency exchange. The weekend art market is also within easy walking distance.
The hotel breakfast was good. Each day, there was a local specialty dish prepared outside the lobby that you could go and pick up yourself, along with freshly squeezed juice. There's also a piano in the lobby on the first floor, with performances in the evenings.

了了了-ZHUOOverall, it's decent for the price. However, there's a noticeable difference between the OZO in Phuket and this OZO in Penang. The location is in George Town, but on the northern side near the sea, meaning it's over 1km away from most major attractions, restaurants, and durian shops.
The staff weren't as friendly as in Phuket; checking in felt like doing business at a government office. We booked three deluxe twin rooms, but they were assigned to two different floors.
The hotel has nowhere to dry clothes, and even the hangers are semi-fixed in the wardrobe.
At night, you can hear music playing, which affected our sleep (especially the bass).
Since we had a child, we requested an extra bed, but the extra bed didn't come with a proper duvet, only a very thin blanket.

MMikeLimMyBishop Hotel’s greatest selling point is its impeccable location on Lebuh Bishop, right in the heart of George Town’s UNESCO World Heritage core zone in George Town.
Within a 3–5 minute walk, you can reach landmarks such as St. George's Church, Pinang Peranakan Mansion, and the city’s famous Armenian Street mural trail.
The hotel is surrounded by some of Penang’s finest dining options. Step outside and you are immediately in Little India, where authentic banana-leaf rice and fragrant curries abound. Popular spots like GEMS Restaurant and the refined Nyonya restaurant Kebaya Dining Room are only a few steps away.
Despite its name, Bishop Hotel does not adopt a nostalgic Nanyang aesthetic. Instead, its interior design embraces a clean, modern industrial style.
Rooms are known for being tidy and efficiently designed. Flooring typically features wood or polished tiles. While room sizes are relatively compact—consistent with heritage district buildings—the facilities are generally well maintained and fairly new.
Given its location in the bustling old town, street-facing rooms may experience early-morning traffic noise or nearby commercial activity. Light sleepers are advised to book a windowless room (often quieter) or request a higher-floor, inward-facing unit.
At a price range of MYR 100–150 per night in the very heart of George Town, offering an elevator, private bathroom, and air conditioning, Bishop Hotel delivers outstanding value for money.
🪴Points to Consider🪴
Parking Challenges:
George Town’s old streets are narrow, and the hotel does not provide private parking. Guests arriving by car will need to rely on municipal street parking or nearby paid parking lots, which can be inconvenient.
Limited Natural Light:
Some budget room categories do not have exterior windows. In Southeast Asia’s humid climate, this may feel slightly confined to some guests.
Limited Facilities:
This is a hotel focused purely on accommodation. There is no swimming pool or large fitness center. For travelers seeking a resort-style “holiday atmosphere,” it functions more as a well-appointed base for exploration.
🪴Who It’s Best For🪴
Backpackers & Independent Travelers: Those who prioritize walking access to cultural landmarks.
Short-Term Business Travelers: Visitors seeking a modern, convenient, and reasonably priced stay in the city center.
Food Enthusiasts: Travelers who would rather spend their budget on Penang’s street art and culinary scene than on luxury lodging.
🪴Insider Tip🪴
On Sunday mornings, take a short walk to Occupy Beach Street, the weekly car-free event, to experience George Town’s most vibrant street culture and local market atmosphere.

AAiyahwateverThe hotel is conveniently located and within walking distance to many popular eateries, coffeeshops and tourist sights around Georgetown. The staff are friendly and accommodating, the reception area is cosy with comfortable seating and free good quality coffee.
We booked the Deluxe 2 Bedroom Loft at Block B. While the layout, space and beds were comfortable, room maintenance and housekeeping can be improved.
Maintenance: the tap was leaky and shower head holder was loose, the laminates on the doors and frames were badly chipped, the door stopper at the Twin Room was not working properly and upper bedroom smelled musky.
Housekeeping: some bath towels were frayed, surfaces like window ledge, tissue box, desk lamp were dusty, the Nespresso machine water container was slimy.
Hopefully Citadines can look into these improvements to provide guests with a much better experience.

GGazwanHere's I had a wonderful stay here for 2 nights and honestly have nothing negative to say about my experience. The hotel's location is excellent and one of its biggest advantages. It is conveniently situated close to many of Georgetown's most popular attractions, restaurants, cafes, street art spots, and local landmarks, making it very easy to explore the area on foot without needing transportation.
The check-in and check-out process was quick, smooth, and hassle-free. From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, professional, and always happy to assist with any questions or requests. Their friendly attitude made me feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout my stay.
The room was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable visit. Although the room was slightly compact, it was thoughtfully designed and made good use of the available space. All the facilities and amenities worked perfectly, including the air conditioning, Wi-Fi, lighting, and bathroom facilities, which made my stay even more enjoyable.
I also appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, which allowed me to relax after a full day of exploring Georgetown. The combination of a great location, clean rooms, efficient service, and friendly staff made this hotel a fantastic choice for both short and longer stays.
Overall, I had a very pleasant experience and would not hesitate to stay here again on my next visit to Penang. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable stay in the heart of Georgetown!

AAngelo_007This hotel is an excellent introduction to Penang as it was for me on my first day in town exploring and getting to know the main city area. Close to downtown center the hotel provides an ideal location for explorers who want to be close to all the major sites Penang has to offer. In the immediate area is George Town with venues including the Clan Jetties, UNESCO heritage sites, Armenian Street and a vast array of street art all worth stopping to visit.
The hotel itself is clean and tidy with helpful and friendly staff who went out of their way to help accommodate me upon my early arrival (holding my luggage until check in time). The room was comfortable and for amenities there was an onsite laundry room that helped ensured traveler like me had the opportunity to refresh their baggage for the next adventures ahead.
As a heads up to future travelers: the hotel is located near some stunning mosques that although were great to visit, do have prayer sessions throughout the day and night which all hotel travelers can clearly hear in their rooms. Not recommended for light sleepers or anyone who minds the sound. Overall the hotel was a great place to start my Penang stay and exploration.

GGuest UserThe place it self was great, the cleanliness was very good and the service was excellent. The only downside we had was the neighbours upstairs kept making loud noises through out our stay, however credit to the agents they replied back to us promptly when we brought this up and had notified their landlord. Unfortunately this didn’t still resolve the loud noises.
The building it self is nice, the pool is clean and well maintained, however the building does have a lot of regulations in place which we thought was quite excessive. Other than these minor issues we had a great time and the apartment is well kept.
