Jen Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La ★★★★

📍 Magazine Road, George Town

"After much thought, I still believe that a well-established five-star hotel is the most reliable choice. This Jen hotel is incredibly close to all the attractions, and you can even walk to the street art murals. There's a decent-sized shopping mall nearby, along with a supermarket and Starbucks. Although the hotel facilities are a bit dated, the service is still excellent. The breakfast, in particular, offers a great variety, including freshly stir-fried kway teow and freshly cooked noodle soup. I'd definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Penang!"

📍 97, Jalan Batu Ferringhi, Batu Ferringhi

"My wife and I had a relaxing 3D2N stay. Everything is good, staff are friendly. We booked a sea view Premier Garden unit with patio. Our only comment is that the room and furniture need refurbishment. Probably because our unit is located in the old wing, the furniture colour is dated."

22 Macalisterz's Armoire Collection by ALV Hotels in Northeast Penang Island

22 Macalisterz's Armoire Collection by ALV

"Everything was fine except the parking charges, which were completely mishandled. I was clearly told it would be RM9 per day with multiple entries and exits allowed. Yet on the second day, I was charged RM18 on my first exit. Naturally, I assumed it might include an advance charge for the third day.. but then on the third day, I was charged another RM9 anyway. That makes absolutely no sense. I raised this at reception during check-out, and I was told to text a provided number. I’ve sent multiple messages and no response whatsoever. Completely ignored. Yes, it’s “just” RM9 extra. But that’s not the point. If this is how casually you handle even small discrepancies, what does that say about your overall standards? And how many other guests are being overcharged without even realizing it? Frankly, this is unacceptable and extremely disappointing."

St. Giles Wembley Penang Hotels in Northeast Penang Island

St. Giles Wembley Penang

"The room was spacious, but the decor was a bit dated. The parking was very convenient with plenty of spaces. Breakfast was just okay, not much variety and the quality wasn't great. The location is excellent though, with many popular spots within walking distance and a mall right across the street for dining and shopping."

Armenian Street Heritage Hotel Hotels in Northeast Penang Island

Armenian Street Heritage Hotel

"Was greeted by receptionist, Joshua who kindly checked us in. It was around 1:30pm but generally check in time was 3pm. Immediately checking in and being told we would have to leave our luggage in reception storage, he kindly informed us that the room was cleaned but didnt have the towels ready till 2:00pm. He provided the option to go to our rooms immediately and for towels to be dropped off to our rooms once ready. Great first impression! The building is a heritage building so a 2 ringgit per night fee was paid at reception during check-in. The building is aged (physical appearance, smell) but air conditioning is strong inside the room and even reception area. They provide bottled water each day during room makeup and a water refill station at lobby reception if you drink a lot of water."

Capri by Fraser Penang ★★★★
"Enjoyed our stay at Capri by Fraser Penang! Clean, modern rooms and very friendly staff. Just a note that the swimming pool and sauna are quite small, and the basket inside the men’s sauna was broken during our visit—hopefully the maintenance team can fix that soon. Overall, still a pleasant experience!"

Loop on Leith George Town Penang Hotel ★★★
"I didn’t really enjoy my stay here, I found the labyrinth of corridors could be confusing, and something off about the layout of the room.  One of the neighbouring rooms had a party one night, so I didn’t get enough sleep; the location is alright, walking distance from anywhere in Georgetown, but nothing specific.   The breakfast was underwhelming in my opinion, lacking protein options - just the eggs really, frankfurters don’t count.  I think I’ll try elsewhere in Penang if I go back."

Jen Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La ★★★★
"After seeing many recommendations for this hotel across various platforms, I chose it. It's a Chinese-friendly hotel, which is great because the power outlets are universal and don't require an adapter. The room comes with complimentary bottled water. Although the room isn't large, it's impeccably clean, and the window offers a direct view of the ocean. It's very quiet at night, ensuring a good sleep. There's a large shopping mall right next door with a Watsons, and it's also very close to Durian Street, making it super convenient for enjoying durian."

"Seeing is believing! Just as many reviews mentioned, the ambiance has a charming old-money vibe, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The century-old rain tree in the hotel is truly something special. The pool beneath the rain tree offers a nice half-shaded area, which is a great touch."

Gurney Bay Hotel, A PARKROYAL Partner Hotel ★★★★★
"An absolutely flawless 5-star stay at Gurney Bay Hotel! The absolute highlight of our arrival was Mr. Qasim at the front desk. He was incredibly welcoming and managed to arrange a free upgrade to a gorgeous seaview room for us due to miscommunication from the hotel staff. Waking up to that ocean view and heading down to their massive, delicious breakfast buffet made our trip perfect. Exceptional hospitality….& we will definitely be back!"

Shangri-La Golden Sands, Penang ★★★★
"The views are stunning and the facilities are great! Stepping out of the room, you're immediately embraced by the coconut trees and sea breeze. The laksa at breakfast was so fragrant it made me stomp my feet in delight, and the staff's smiles were as warm as the tropical sun. After showering off the sand from the beach, even my dreams felt sweet and soft like the ocean ✨"
