Hotels in Northeast Penang Island

"Regular visitor to Penang, about 5 times per year.  First time staying in this hotel and I must say it is the best in terms of location, especially for foodie like me. Yummy is everywhere once I step out of this hotel. Only downside, there is no bedside power point to pluck in to charge my phone. So every time a notification tone comes in, I gotta get out of bed to go check on it. Other than that, all is excellent. Attach a couple of photos on the most popular food just along the street outside the hotel."

"We decided to stay at this very unique hotel based on all the great reviews. And we were not disappointed. This hotel is central to so many gorgeous attractions. And even though we had originally wanted to rent one of the many city bicycles available from stations in and around Georgetown, we decided to walk instead, because the heavy traffic and construction worried us. There's just so much to see and do that we became easily overwhelmed. Again, The Loop on Leith is an excellent location that walking around and seeing the sights ends up working out very well, especially when you're avid photographers like we are. I loved the modern decor of our room with its hip and trendy vibes. A rather small room but still very functional. The bathroom is excellent with hot water and very good shower pressure. And our included breakfast buffet was delicious, although I wish there had been a little more variety. And the cooks and staff were very professional and very attentive, always making sure the buffet counter was replenished. Much of the time the breakfast buffet was quite busy. After all, this is a very busy hotel and for good reason. But still, we would easily return here to stay for a few nights. We also enjoyed the Netflix in our room and the beds were very comfortable. Excellent mini fridge and even a little sofa. And we even had a fantastic view of the city. But sometimes it can get noisy, mostly from activity from other guests. Thankfully, I always travel with ear plugs. An incredible little hotel, surrounded by so many top-notch gourmet restaurants too. The hotel has gorgeous decor and awesome personality. This is the place to stay in the heart of Georgetown."

"All in all, not dat bad. The location of dis hotel is nice, those spots r very nearby. However,the WiFi is too terrible, even I using their WiFi or my own data I still can’t got it well. Besides , the sea view was alright even though I’m still disappointed thought dat the sea view would be very nearby the hotel but actually there’s still a distance. Additionally, the breakfast was okay nothing special , the menu almost same every day"

"JEN Penang Georgetown: Central, Seamless, and So Worth It 🌇✨ Tucked right beside 1st Avenue Mall, JEN Penang nails the location game-smack in the heart of Georgetown with everything at your doorstep. We booked the family room, which came with a comfy sofa bed, a bidet-equipped bathroom, and a bathtub for those post-walk wind-downs. The buffet breakfast? Generous and delicious. But what truly stood out was the service-warm, proactive, and personal. They even WhatsApped us pre-check-in to see if we needed anything extra. And the cherry on top? A free late checkout at 2pm, no questions asked. ✅ Prime location ✅ Family-friendly rooms ✅ Thoughtful service touches ✅ Buffet breakfast bliss ✅ Seamless digital check-in Verdict: A must-stay. Already planning our next visit."

"Room was small but clean, cozy and comfortable. The only thing to note is that the room isn’t very soundproof — we could hear people passing by the corridor and doors closing loudly at midnight many times. Parking was challenging. Great location to nearby attractions and shops. Overall great 👍🏻"

"The hotel is located just opposite Komtar and is very close to a lot of eateries, restaurants and coffee shops. The room is very clean and bathroom toiletries are quite complete, as well as iron n ironing board, hair dryer. All the staff are very friendly n helpful n always greets with a smile. Buffet breakfast spread is very nice too. Totally enjoyed our stay there. Will definitely stay there again during for our next visit."

"Very nice place to stay, very spacious and clean. Can wash clothes(washing machine available) Only a bit far from food centre(need to ride taxi/grab car) other wise a nice place to stay."

"Hospitality is superb, but the only downside is the kids' pool. It was so slippery at the 3 hoops sections. Slipped and fell hard on it. Hurt my wrist as I used my wrist to break the fall. It happened too fast.. hopefully, the maintenance could look into it and really scrubbed it as it is indeed very dangerous for the kids."

"Love the design of the hotel. The room is huge by Penang standard and comes with lots of carpark. We had a really comfortable stay at Sho. The cons is the location which is located slightly away from the Center. The water pressure in the shower is sometimes too low. These are minor problems. Definitely will visit again"

"The deluxe room was spacious, room is clean and non carpet (which we like it very much). Toilet showering area was big too. Along the corridor, there is a water cooler, so good for top up water daily as many times as you like. No need to buy mineral water..breakfast quality is good. Variety is limited though. The restaurant staff services are excellent as all of them are cheerful and polite. Our hotel views are facing the Komtar - The top..nice view. Will stay here again if we come to penang in future"
