2-Star Hotels in Penang, Malaysia

I had a wonderful stay at the place. It's clean, simple and not busy or noisy. It's so close to the center of Georgetown area and the nightlife without being too centre. The staff, especially Junaid, is very nice and helpful. Thanks. It's worth the money, I'll definitely come here again.

this is a cosy little hotel. it's in a nice location and eothin steps to local bus stop and a short walk to komtar bus terminal too. i do like the hotel but i do have some sincere suggestions to hotel operator to make this hotel a little nicer next time. 1. the indian livehouse next door does pump loud music from 10pm-2pm. hotel should try a thick curtain on the windows to absorb the sound. sound absorbing curtain are inexpensive if buy direct from china. 2. hotel staff should replenish toilet paper daily in common toilets. instay there 6 days and notice they do so only every 2 days. 3. all the pillows are super high and hard ones. toilet should purchase some medium height softer ones that guest can ask upon request. thank you

The front desk staff were very polite, and the room was clean. However, the soundproofing was quite poor. My room had a window facing the corridor, and I could hear people loudly opening and closing their doors. I think booking a room with an external window would offer a much better experience.

Hanushini suthasan kamran I booked this hotel for friends, and they really enjoyed their stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very kind and helpful. Everything went smoothly with the check-in, and the location was convenient. I'm happy with the choice and would book it again

I'm not sure what to think about this hotel. It has all the essentials (water fountain, ironing board, hairdryer), but the room is poorly soundproofed – you can hear almost everything from outside the windows. There's no elevator, and you have about 10 steps to climb plus more steps to even enter the hotel (which is tough with suitcases and bags). The common areas are extremely hot, and there's no luggage storage (though it was mentioned in the listing, we just didn't see it). On the positive side, the location is great, and check-in was fast. Thanks!

We had an amazing stay at Gather Inn in George Town, Malaysia. The hosts were absolutely brilliant — so attentive, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The room was spotless, with great facilities and everything maintained to a really high standard. The air conditioning was fantastic, which made such a difference in the heat and kept the room super comfortable. The location was also perfect: very close to the centre and all the main attractions, yet tucked away in a quiet area so we could get a great night’s sleep every night. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting George Town!

The location is great, lively, but I didn't hear any street noises while sleeping. The cleanliness was so-so; there was hair on the bed, and no toilet paper in the bathroom. The Wi-Fi was infuriatingly bad, absolutely terrible, and the staff knew but didn't fix it. Surprisingly, the Wi-Fi signal was better in the shopping mall (this hostel is located in a shopping mall, hence the description). In other words, the Wi-Fi signal was better outside the hostel than inside the mall! Also, because it was self-check-in, contacting staff was sometimes difficult; many people were waiting at the door for a reply. Originally, it was for two nights, but it was changed to one night.

It's a bit far from George Town's main attractions, so it's really quiet at night. It's about a 10-15 minute walk, but it gets too hot during the day. 😂 You need to wear slippers inside. There's a water dispenser with hot and cold water. You can temporarily store luggage in the waiting area, and the self-service laundry room is a great plus! 👍🏿 The operating hours are from 3 PM to 10 PM (this was for another room type I booked, which I felt wasn't as soundproof).

Let's start with the praise. The location is perfect for those who wants to venture and walk around Georgetown. Perfect for food hunters, just a few steps to famous eateries. Amenities were pretty standard where you have to ask for it eg hairdryer. Ironically, an iron and ironing board is provided in the room instead. It's time to change the pillows too. Now comes the bad. We booked a family room and it was big with 2 queen beds. However the location of the aircon is really a mystery. I cannot phantom why it was placed in a hidden slot in the middle of the room, blowing towards the wall instead towards the bed. The second queen bed couldn't feel the aircon at all. I sincerely hope that the management would relocate it. Other than the aircon, we enjoyed our stay. Will we come back? Maybe.

The accommodation is in a tourist area, so food is readily available as soon as you step out. It's also close to the bus terminal, making travel convenient. The room is a bit small, but it wasn't uncomfortable for a solo traveler. They provide a hairdryer, drinking water, shampoo, toothbrush, and towels. No adapter is needed for the power outlets. The accommodation feels safe, especially for women traveling alone. Overall, it's good, and I'd stay here again if I have the chance.
