Romantic Hotels in Penang, Malaysia

Five stars all around! Big shout-out to the friendly front desk staff. I was torn between JEN Hotel and Wembley, but ultimately chose Wembley because I saw reviews mentioning early check-in, which was a huge draw for me. It's also Chinese-friendly, and the front desk staff can communicate in Chinese. Even though rooms were very tight during Chinese New Year, the hotel still allowed me to check in quite a bit earlier. This gave me a precious three-hour nap, helping me avoid the hottest part of the day and making my first day of sightseeing rich and energetic. Wembley and JEN are just across the street from each other, but Wembley is on higher floors, offering a more expansive view. It's only about 700-800 meters to both Mural Street and the Clan Jetties. There are also plenty of shopping and food courts nearby. The hotel itself is well-maintained, and soundproofing is decent. My only minor complaint: For two adults and one child, we requested an extra comforter, but they brought a blanket instead. Using just a blanket requires quite some courage!

The deluxe suite was big and comfortable. Only downside was the sofa bed in the living area - not comfortable to sit on as the cushion had thinned out and you could feel the steel bars when sitting on it. We did not use it for sleeping as there were only two of us. I can't imagine that it will be comfortable for sleeping. The guy at the reception told us that they were gradually replacing the worn sofa beds in the suites. So that's good news, but why gradually (?). As the hotel is slightly off the main road, there's not much noise from the traffic, good for light sleepers.

Good stay at Jazz Hotel Penang 👍 Really satisfied with my trip here. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable, with a bathtub and even a complimentary bath bomb which made the stay extra relaxing. Love the rooftop pool and the overall modern vibe. Location is convenient — walking distance to Straits Quay and easy access to Gurney area for food. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. Overall a pleasant experience, will definitely come back again!

The hotel's breakfast is served at a separate bakery and cafe next door, with three options to choose from. The hotel itself is quite new, so everything is in good condition. There's a dedicated driveway right at the hotel entrance, making pick-up and drop-off very convenient.

The best hotel my family and I have stayed at in Penang. I truly love this hotel and the view from the room is absolutely beautiful. There’s no other choice for me whenever I come here. The room is spacious and very comfortable for a family vacation. 😊

The front desk was alright; they gave me the highest floor when I asked for a quiet room. But the room itself felt really damp! Luckily, it was sunny the next day, so I took the duvet outside to air it out. The hallways in the hotel also had a damp, musty smell. The cleaning service on the second day of my stay was unbelievably bad – they missed so many spots, it's hard to even describe! The view outside the hotel was nice, but the hotel itself is in a remote location. A taxi to the city costs 60-80 yuan, and even to the beach, which is only 2-3 kilometers away, it's 40 yuan for a taxi – ridiculous! Once we got familiar with the area, we just used public transport.

Arrived at 10am, and too early for the check-in but they accomodate to leave our bags, and offer us some snacks and refreshments. They have 17-20m pool which is 24hrs open. We were housed at 1F room, got no view but its ok, room is clean and neat, bed and pillows are really comfortable. The only downside is at 11pm, we heard a loud bang, as if there’s demolition next door, but we didn’t bother to investigate as we just assumed that its the delivery service, as we are adjacent to inner road. Overall it was a pleasant stay, really nice and helpful staffs.

This hotel is perfect for families! It's spacious and comfortable. We'd definitely come back again. There are plenty of food options nearby too, like Nasi Kandar Kayu and Breakfast Bekal Cafe. It's also close to Bukit Jambul Complex. Really great! 👍

Love the vibes! We switched to this Hotel for our last night on 11 March because the original hotel I stayed at didn’t meet my expectations for cleanliness—I simply couldn’t tolerate flies in the room and bathroom. Although Mokozoyo offers a queen-size firm bed compared to the other hotel’s king-size soft bed, the sleep quality at Mokozoyo was much better. I’ll always choose a firm bed with a clean room and bathroom. I also don’t mind that the fridge is outside the room since it’s clean and conveniently located right next to the lift. Looking forward to Mokozoyo upgrading to accommodate family-size stays so I can bring my children along during the school holidays.

First time going to Penang, loved the location of the hotel. Amazing view of the beach from our room, and saw fireworks one night was a treat. They keep the beach clean for the property, each day saw it being cleared. The pool is a good refreshing temperature. Majority of the time isn't overly busy. Good depth and size of pool. I enjoyed swimming laps each day and relaxing on the sunloungers. Kept clean, fresh towels available. Good pool toys for the kids. The gym was amazing, good equipment and machines- beautiful view of the ocean. I would prefer the air con colder as the one in there didnt cool the room down enough and if wasn't standing near it, it got very hot. The water provided in there also isn't cold which i didnt like ( is in a machine that says keeping warm, which i dont understand shouldn't drink warm water when working out, don't know if it's a culture thing? Wasn't to my liking anyway) The room is spacious, bathroom bit tight but made do. Nice amenities topped up daily. Bed comfortable. Air con in room works amazing. Cleanliness in room noticed could've been better as after room being 'cleaned' noticed my hair still on floor and sand in corner from shoes. So seems the floor doesn't get swept or mopped as much as we thought. Buffet breakfast was great, yummy food and lots of everything. Plenty of staff i just think they need to be more attentive and watch the buffet e.g kids touching food ( saw few things) and make sure the food is safe for other guests to eat. We ate at the hotel lunch and dinner also, the staff mean well but there is a language barrier and was few instances where our meals didn't come out correct like we got a tomato soup when we pointed and said on the menu tomato pasta. We are patient enjoyed the food and kept going back despite the mistakes. We understand a second language can be difficult. Amazing fresh cakes in fridge we just about tried them all. The staff also did a lovely birthday song and candles on cake my husband brought. Overall had a lovely time.
