Penang | Stay at the Colonial-Style Ropewalk Piazza Hotel

Experience a unique stay at the Ropewalk Piazza Hotel in Penang, a serviced apartment hotel converted from a row of colonial-era houses. The ground floor is occupied by shops, while the second floor houses the apartments. The hotel offers two-bedroom and three-bedroom units, featuring modern and cozy interiors that make you feel right at home. The only downside is the lack of an elevator, but with just two floors, carrying luggage isn't too much of a hassle. We booked a two-bedroom unit, which came with a spacious living room and a simple kitchenette. Conveniently located next to the Shantou Street Night Market, it's easy to grab some local snacks and enjoy them back at the apartment. The property uses a secure passcode system for entry, making it both safe and convenient. Its proximity to attractions and shopping malls means you can explore most of George Town's old city area on foot. The nightly rate is around TWD 2,200, and the unit is approximately 50 square meters, offering a bright and spacious environment. Managed by Sia Gek, the overall experience was pleasant, especially with the ample space that avoids the cramped feeling of a small hotel room.
