Royale Chulan Penang

Great value for money! The hotel might be a bit older, but it's well-maintained. The front desk staff and the doorman were all very welcoming and helpful. English communication is required.

The hotel's location is excellent. It's within walking distance to the Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower, City Hall, and the waterfront. You can also walk to the tourist area's mural streets and the Peranakan Museum. The cleanliness and service are both above average. Although the breakfast offers a good variety, the taste is just okay, but it was still the most palatable among the three hotels I stayed at this trip. They offer congee and pickled vegetables. The hotel provides large umbrellas for guests to borrow. However, it's really not necessary as rain in Penang usually comes in short bursts, so there's no need for such a big umbrella. The room is old, and the bathroom leaks, as shown in the picture. I wouldn't recommend booking breakfast at any hotel in Malaysia. Breakfast at local restaurants is much cheaper and tastier. The only thing you'll need to worry about in Penang is your appetite being too small!

Clean and tidy, with warm and efficient service. There are many dining options, and it's very close to Chew Jetty. The air conditioning is excellent. I walked from the hotel to most of Penang's main attractions. Hygiene: Excellent Facilities: Excellent Environment: Beautiful Service: First-class
