Soori Penang is a boutique hotel with 15 suites located in the heart of George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site. Conceived by Soo K Chan award winning architect and founder of SCDA Architects the hotel is set within a beautifully restored clan house beside Khoo Kongsi temple known for its intricate Straits Chinese craftsmanship. The design reflects local heritage combined with contemporary architecture inspired by the childhood of the owner who grew up in this historic compound. The hotel offers spacious suites; a courtyard restaurant; tea room; lounge and wine bar; a fitness and wellness centre. A dedicated concierge team connects guests with cultural discoveries and local traditions.

"Suri Penang, located in the most culturally valuable area of Penang, the hotel is located next to Khoo Kongsi (Zongxuan Company), and you can walk to various key sightseeing spots in Penang. You can go out from the side before 5 pm, and change to the main entrance. Soori brand is closely related to founder Soo K. Chan, and is the founder of a well-known architectural firm SCDA Architects, so Soori series hotels are also regarded as ”architect-led boutique luxury hotel brand”, unlike Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt groups, Soori is definitely a rarer independent luxury boutique brand. Suri Penang is restored by a number of 19th-century historic shops, focusing on ”heritage × contemporary luxury (historic culture × modern luxury)”. The room type divides the living room, bedroom and bathroom into three independent spaces, the store-style long-term space, private inner courtyard, lighting patio, reflective pool and water view, advanced spare parts and butler service, all designs are amazing. When you come to Suli Penang, check in at the counter without a customized counter, the butler will personally receive it, and then take you directly to the room tour after enjoying a welcome drink. Fortunately, during this Malaysian trip, I marked the perfect end in Suli Penang (a special car to Penang International Airport), and thanked myself seriously, and thanked every colleague in Suli Penang."

"The room was very spacious, likely an apartment converted into a hotel. Not only was there a large bed, but also a separate walk-in closet and a kitchen. The window offered a partial sea view, and the bathroom was huge with a separate wet and dry area. The facilities were excellent, including an infinity pool, a gym, and a yoga studio. The gym had treadmills, dumbbells, elliptical machines, etc., sufficient for basic fitness needs."

"I left this review before I even checked out. That’s how much I enjoyed my stay. What an amazing experience. So far, this is the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Penang, even after trying several five-star hotels. As a Malaysian, I really appreciate a hotel that treats local guests with the same warmth and hospitality as international visitors. From the moment I arrived, everyone made me feel genuinely welcome. Every staff member, from the security team, bellboys, receptionists, to the housekeeping staff, was exceptional, friendly, and always ready to help. The room was incredibly spacious with a beautiful view. I absolutely loved the bathtub, and I actually spent quite a bit of time working from there. It was surprisingly relaxing. The bed was super comfortable, and the room was spotless. What impressed me even more was that the housekeeping team knocked on my door just to check if I needed anything, even though I hadn't requested any service. That level of attentiveness is rare. A special thank you to the housekeeping team, especially Saiful and Ranjit, for decorating my room for my birthday. And thank you to The Millen Penang for the birthday cake. I truly appreciate the thoughtful gesture. Without a doubt, this will be my go-to hotel whenever I visit Penang in the future. Highly recommended."

"Extremely satisfied with this hotel! **Location:** Excellent! It's in the Gurney commercial district, right next to Paragon Hotel, Gurney Plaza, and Parkson shopping mall. **Facilities:** There are two Gurney G Hotels nearby, and this one is very new with modern decor. The rooftop pool has an amazing ambiance, offering views of both the mountains and the sea. Watching the sunset over the mountains from the pool in the evening is incredibly relaxing. There's also a bar by the pool with live music performances at night. **Service:** Excellent! Upon check-in, we received complimentary ice cream. The in-room minibar was well-stocked, completely free, and replenished with drinks daily. Every staff member greeted us proactively. Breakfast was rich and exquisite, and most importantly, incredibly affordable at only 45 MYR per person! Children pay half price (4-year-olds are free), making it exceptional value for money. Highly recommend it overall!"

"Three adults and three children stayed here. The three beds were all 1.5 meters, which was great. The only hassle was having just one bathroom, but that was the only option available when I booked; there were no rooms with two bathrooms. There's a communal dryer on the first floor, but you often have to wait in line. It would be better if the apartment came with a washer-dryer combo. The location is convenient; a taxi to the Blue House was only a dozen or so yuan, making it easy to get anywhere. Overall, I'm quite satisfied."

"I chose this hotel after checking its design and guest reviews on Ctrip. First off, its location is super convenient for visiting many of Penang's attractions and trying local food. However, I didn't give the environment 5 stars because, unfortunately, during my entire 4-day, 3-night stay, there was street construction happening around the hotel. This made things a bit inconvenient and really affected the hotel's overall appearance! But the hotel's service definitely deserves praise. The housekeeping staff who cleaned our room daily was very diligent. A few times, we returned to the hotel while he was cleaning, and he politely stepped aside, waiting nearby until we left again! Also, a big shout-out to the F&B Manager, Eva Hoe. She provided exceptional service during both our breakfast experiences, enthusiastically recommending freshly prepared items that weren't on the buffet. She's also very pretty and speaks fluent Chinese, which is a definite 5-star point! The hotel's design is excellent, especially the clever packaging of the seven bathroom amenities, which collectively form an image of the hotel's exterior. Highly recommended!"

"The entire hotel features British colonial-style architecture, with very spacious and well-designed rooms. However, the service was perfunctory. During my three-day stay, despite frequent comings and goings, the doormen were rarely at the entrance. Even when they were, they generally didn't bother to open the door and looked expressionless. I believe this falls short of the service standards expected from a hotel of this price point. The turndown service was also a disaster; the duvet was wrinkled, the slippers weren't properly placed, and my charging cable was simply tossed onto the bed. Housekeeping was also very poor. On the second day, the toothbrush wasn't neatly arranged but rather haphazardly placed on the vanity. However, the housekeeping staff on the third day did a proper job of organizing the countertop. The toothbrush provided was a cheap, hard, brittle plastic one, typical of a budget guesthouse, and very unpleasant to use. Other amenities were acceptable. Overall, the hotel's biggest selling points are likely its scenery, historical significance, and location. Don't expect much from the service."
