[2024 George Town Stay] Travel Guide for Jen Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La (Updated Dec)
The cosy Hotel Jen Penang
#myhiddengems
One of my memorable stays is also at Hotel Jen Penang..
The deluxe room is bright and spacious with its comfortable bed and colourful deco with traces of Penang heritage all over…
But most of all, the location is the best since it is just adjacent to KOMTAR which is the central public transport hub which gets you just about anywhere via RapidPenang buses, on foot or even Grab /AirAsia Ride….

A great property for 3-night stay in Penang
Short snippet review of my 3 nights here! ❤️
The property is thankfully well maintained since my last visit in 2019 and the twin room was adequate space for 2pax with big luggage which came in handy🙈
First Jen experience as a Jade member and was pleasantly surprised by a generous set of belated birthday amenities AND accordance of club access! YAY 🔥
Gym was spacious and had rowers which worked well for me every morning. Location was not too bad with 1st Avenue Mall beside and a short grab ride away from Gurney area 🚕
Had already done a full review of this property pre COVID so will skip a blog post this time but I certainly got tremendous value for my stay and would recommend this in a heartbeat even without the frills 🍀

Jen Penang by Shangri La
The location is in the heart of George Town, surrounded by shopping centers such as 1St Avenue Mall, Prangin Mall, and Komtar. Komtar is also popular as the hub for interstate bus interchange, including from Singapore.
Jen hotel has the best location for visitors who enjoy roaming around and want to experience the local scene, cafe, restaurant, and all popular places such as Penang street art, Penang Little India, Temples, and Mosque all around this area.
The hotel Lobby is spacious with a cafe lounge and Jen Restaurant for breakfast and dinner. The cafe lounge is open at 10am closed around 9 pm.
The room is just average, and the bathroom is not so big. Since I am traveling alone, so it should be ok for me. Coffe and tea facilities are provided.
The swimming pool and gym are located at level 4. Unfortunately, the swimming pool is open from 10 am to 6 pm only, and the gym is open up to 10 pm.

First overseas hotel staycation of course have to start it with a bang!
Booked this hotel as it is stylish and just right in the middle of the tourist place so it is very coinevence.
We have 3 pax with us thus the 'Family Room' was perfect for us. Topped up a little with additional club benefit as well that comes with halal buffet breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails.
The hotel was even sweet enough to prepare a birthday cake for us!
From the moment we step in the hotel we felt very welcomed till we leave the hotel to the airport. This is very kids friendly hotel as well as there is a mall beside it.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who want to stay in the middle of everything.

Relax afternoon tea (club) at the lobby! 🍵
JEN Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La
Address - Magazine Rd, George Town, 11900 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
Ambiance/Facilities - afternoon tea with club benefit
Highlights - full size drinks
Avg. Price per Person - included as club benefit for room
Rating - 3.5/5
This club benefit comes with the club room with hotel booking at the middle of George Town of Penang. It was rainy outside thus sitting here and drink some drinks before heading out.
The fridge drinks are all free flow and even allowed to be take away! it is full size drinks as well. can also get drinks from coffee machines like the regular coffees stuffs, milo and even teh tirak!
But the afternoon tea time for "food items" only inculdes nuts and cookies. There is no "hot food" or desserts. Good for hydration before heading out.

Jen Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La
#penangtrip We took advantage of the Senior deal offering 60% off third night rate which was a saving but not as fantastic as that might sound given the taxes and charges loaded on top. The room was very nice and the bed super comfortable. The pool area could be greatly enhanced to make a better amenity - it is a very average area considering the rest of the hotel is quite stylish for a large chain. No food or drink options poolside either. Check in quick & mobile check out even quicker! Great location next to Komtar bus terminal & shopping mall & walking distance to the culinary delights of Georgetown

#familytrips2024 Our family trip to Shangri-La's Jen Hotel was a delightful and rejuvenating experience. Located in the heart of a bustling city, the hotel offered a perfect blend of modern comfort and warm hospitality. We enjoyed the spacious and well-appointed rooms with stunning city views. The rooftop pool was a favorite spot for the kids, while we appreciated the fully equipped fitness center and relaxing spa. The hotel's diverse dining options allowed us to savor a variety of delicious cuisines. Exploring the nearby attractions was convenient, thanks to the hotel's central location. Our stay at Shangri-La's Jen Hotel was filled with wonderful memories and quality family time.
Our next dream destination is Kyoto, Japan. We envision exploring ancient temples, serene gardens, and experiencing the delicate art of a traditional tea ceremony. The blend of cultural heritage and modern attractions promises an enriching adventure for the whole family, filled with new stories and cherished memories.

Great location, nice breakfast buffet
Jen Hotel is located in the heart of Georgetown.
A grab ride from airport is RM 20.
There is bell boy service and you can leave your luggage at the bellboy counter for early check in.
For my case, I arrive at 9am and they allowed me to check in early since there was available rooms. Nice gesture from the hotel!
No hiccups during the stay!
