23 Love Lane Hotel

23 Love Lane Hotel

George Town|0.82km from Fort Cornwallis
If you like Nanyang Hokkien culture, you deserve to stay here for a few nights. The style of the hotel is based on Nanyang architectural features. The interior and exterior design of the gate, inner and outer courtyards make people feel very relaxed. The location of the hotel is good. It is on the outside of Love Lane. It will not be too noisy from other bars and restaurants in the lane. There are many restaurants and bars nearby. I recommend Decheng Restaurant and the nearby stall of wanton noodle fried kway teow. The outside is also close to the sea There are also some scenic spots where you can take a walk with the sea breeze. The room arrangement is good this time. It is a bungalow on the second floor facing the gate. The bed-shaped bathroom is very spacious and clean. There are two small chairs for drinking tea and coffee and watching the birds and flowers outside. There is also a public space outside the door to read books, drink coffee and play board games. Even if it is raining outside, you can chat with friends and play games inside. The breakfast is good. There are self-service and set meals, and the portions are quite sufficient. Next time I come to Penang, I will continue to choose 23lovelane☕️.

The hotel is good and clean, but the service of parking security is terrible, before we check in, one of the security was playing his phone and videocalling with his friend，so he didnt even notice our car，when he finally noticed us after my husband was leaving to check in first， he knocked our car heavily，and said this is not parking area，i said ok，just a second，he is checking in，the security was rolling his eyes and said it emphasisly again，asked me to move it and i dont even have driving license here. One minutes later ，my husband was back with room card，he checked and let us just parking right there！！ can not believe there are rude staff in this fancy hotel！ 这个酒店的保安无比地*****，我们车停在门口去checkin ，有一个印度保安当时在草丛里玩手机压根没看到我们，然后我老公刚离开座位，车引擎今年还开这，就听见有人猛敲我车窗，我吓一跳看见这个印度保安从草丛里跑出来手机不玩了，说这不是停车位，我说好的 等一分钟，他去checkin ，我们马上开走，他在那翻着白眼大声说这不是停车位！ 我说我没驾照，不然你来开。他一副高高在上的嘴脸，站在我车门口，然后等我老公出来拿着房卡，他一看是酒店的客人，就说把车摆正，等我们下车他赶紧跑远了。酒店平时都没有服务态度的培训吗，他都把自己当这酒店主人了

It started off rough. Got into the hotel early to leave our luggage and the guy manning the check in was cold, standoffish, and didn’t even bother replying to our pleasantries. When we returned, a misunderstanding ensured. Cos of my earlier encounter, I was just unreasonable. But thank goodness for Suhaila (I think) and her manager - they deescalated the situation with grace and aplomb. That bump aside, I had a lovely time. Was in room 213. Initially I was worried because I have read about noise issues coming from the club next door. But either the club was closed or the soundproofing worked, there were no disturbances. We slept like babies. The room was beautiful, and the location is amazing. This hotel is highly Recommended. Just don’t bother to pay extra for the breakfast. That was just too sad. We tried it on our last day in the hotel as we were leaving early for the airport. It was dismal.

My elderly parents stayed at The Gurney during their medical checkup in Penang and accidentally left behind some documents. We emailed the hotel and left a message through booking.com to no avail. Then through a phone call, we got connected to Danesh at the Concierge Department, who then went the extra mile to coordinate among various departments within the hotel, and mailed the document through express courier service. His attentive service is highly appreciated.

The white elevator is very unique to this elevator. Tho it was slow but I don’t mind bec it so chic with glass door. Very unique indeed! Love it though I wasn’t able to take pic. 😒 +++ white elevator, water refilling dispenser, very spacious room & bathroom +++ location was quite away from the main action but there are 2 bus stops nearby, komtar & chowrasta are 5-10mins walk +++ they provide dental kit, small soap, nice shampoo/conditioner & body wash, mugs, electric kettle, safe, ref, ac was functioning very well, room telephone, tv but i did not use it +++ free wifi was good —- reception is not very friendly except for 1 Indian guy who promptly answers whatsapp tho he mistaken me for a guy at first 😄, the chinese receptionist hardly smiles, indian lady seemed to not know anything when you ask about tourist spots (i think hotel people should equip themselves with some knowledge on tourism. I mean there should be basic orientation by management on this. Times had changed and you need to have these extra customer service, just suggesting). —- i was in the assumption that cleaning is daily but i was told every other day but i still need to remind them about it. Entire hotel can use some improvement in the cleaning — no closet inside the room, you just have to hang your stuff —- my view was a huge wall —- soundproofing is bad, very noisy when people close doors or children running around. You hear toilet flushing from nearby rooms —- it was raining when I arrive and nobody offered an umbrella except on the second day when the janitor heard me. That was appreciated very much. It also made me realize that umbrella is a weapon for solo travellers so that made the carrying a little easier —- towels smell mushy maybe bec of rainy season —- sometimes bathroom had some drainage smells —- food choices was a little limited in area unless you walk for like 5-10mins. Overall stay was still on the good side. I had way worst stays than this. I did enjoy my solo trip to Penang and would love to go back. I plan to stay next time near the street art areas where the actions are. I would still recommend le embassy to other travellers.

The Chambers Hotel
3/512 Reviews

The Chambers Hotel

George Town|0.32km from Fort Cornwallis
We booked this hotel via Booking.com using our credit card to secure the room On arrival, and after filling out the relevant forms we were asked for payment as expected, at this point they disclosed it was only cash and we could not use our credit cards. Even when we showed them the booking that had no mention of the cash only policy. So, it is now late in the day and they are the most unhelpful staff we have met during our current year long trip (that bad), they would not even give us access to the WiFi to arrange another room. After nearly 3 hours and constant calls to Booking.com we finally agreed no cancellation fee would apply despite it being the hotels mistake....they would not agree to the waiver of the fee until I would not leave. They even showed me an email their manager had sent to Booking.com showing this was a regular occurrence. There are many very good hotels in Georgetown...stay clear of this one. We moved to the Royale Chelung 10 minutes away... fantastic service by very helpful people... It may have been a nice hotel, however the management and staff do not care!!! STAY WELL CLEAR

Room was clean and comfy, toiletries were provided except bathrobe. Breakfast spread was huge and variety was great. Just the interior design is slightly dated and there are some funny dark corners in the hotel, but all is good! The staff are polite and service is great. My sister was panicking because she left her iPod at the gym and only remembered one day later. When we returned to the hotel to ask, we managed to claim it from the lost and found at the counter. We thought we lost it for good and was surprised we could get it back! Mr Ajib who was cleaning the gym had picked it up and returned it. We will really like to commend him for his honesty and kindness! We are also thankful to him!! It really goes to show that the staff are very honest people. Would recommend staying here if you want to be close to George Town, the UNESCO heritage area. Around 10 min walk to the Chew jetty and nearby shops and stores.
East Indies Mansion

East Indies Mansion

George Town|0.57km from Fort Cornwallis
I have read, and write about Koh Lay Huan; the first Kapitan Cina who took part in the time of founding Penang. Also, as Chinese, and Peranakan descent with link to Penang, staying in this mansion is a special occasion for me to experience. It would like to be able to step back into history, and live a moment in there. Then that is the first reason that I choose this place. After all, what I got during my stay in East Indie Mansion is unexpected impression. The room is cozy, and convenient. There are also the plugs that work for my chargers, without using any adapter. The staffs are helpful and friendly. There are spaces of halls, and courtyard for relaxing time with atmosphere of the history. The location is very suited for day trips by walking while the place well ceased tiredness from a long day, and hot weather.
Ren I Tang Heritage Inn

Ren I Tang Heritage Inn

George Town|0.59km from Fort Cornwallis

Latest booking 18 hrs ago

The location is convenient for sightseeing. It may be said that it is located almost in the middle of Little India. We recommend going for a walk early in the morning before it gets too hot. There are no tourists on Armenian Street, so you can take your time and admire the mural art on your own. There is an Indian supermarket across the street from the hotel, and although it's not that big, they stock drinks and spices, and the store is typical of an Indian store. It's a small inn and you have to go up the stairs, so I don't think it's suitable for people who have large suitcases and are looking for perfect Japanese cleanliness. Although the breakfast time is late, we recommend this breakfast at this inn. Several types of breads such as croissants for Westerners (I haven't eaten them so I can't confirm the taste), local menu items such as nasi lemak, curry puffs, several types of Nyonya sweets, several types of fruits, *cooked in your favorite style. you can get. Free coffee, tea, and homemade lemonade for breakfast. There is also a cafe open during the day, and the Nyonya laksa here was quite delicious. The front desk is open until 11am at night, so it may be difficult for those with a late flight.

Advantages: 1 The hotel is located in the old street, close to various attractions, most of which can be walked. 2 The hotel owner is very good, Chinese, Chinese, and the first time I arrived at the hotel, I gave a good walking plan according to the map. 3 rooms are quite big and the service is very good. (Breakfast has not been eaten, no evaluation.) Disadvantages: 1 is located in the old street, the sound insulation is relatively general, but acceptable range. 2 late night trucks? At the time of the passage, the attic will have a slight shake.

I recently stayed at SAVV Hotel in March/April 2023. I have stayed in George Town a number of times over 10 years and this (relatively new) hotel is really working very hard to look after guests and now tops my list! Everything was fantastic - staff very friendly, outstandingly helpful and professional from reception, cleaning, to security and maintenance. Hotel is spotless and the small pool gorgeous to cool off in (cleaned regularly). Busy location but I liked this as a solo traveller and felt very safe - easy to catch a Grab car at hotel entrance. Special mention to Mae and Kathy who made my breakfast every day - thinking about that great homemade jackfruit jam! Thanks everyone for making my stay so enjoyable. See you next year!

We were looking for a unique hotel that would reflect the uniqueness of Georgetown and were not disappointed. The hotel is in a renovated set of historic shops in the middle of wonderful Georgetown with the owners having done a lot to reflect its heritage. Is the hotel perfect, maybe not - our room (Argus Suite) was relatively dark, the bathrooms are not always perfectly designed - but this for me is perfectly acceptable knowing you are staying at a historic location. Do I remember all the typical large chain hotels I stayed at - no. Will I remember the Seven Terraces - yes.
