Top George Town Hotel Reviews

Le Dream Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location to night street food, morning food market. Each staff people were helpful - day to early odd morning hours. Clean room and bathroom. Everything was working."

DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Penang

8/10 Good

"Booked for family of 5, 2 rooms, lovely and spacious. But surprisingly there was not an extra bed just a sofa and extra sheets not extra quilt! But room clean and comfortable. Breakfast, there was a good variety. Pool available and pleasant. Location a little disappointing as beach good for views but really noone used it and there was no amenities to speak of there. I would say for me restaurants for dinner of lesser standard than other 4* hotels we have attended, comparatively cost to restaurants particularly in Georretown extortionate for quality offered. Regardless staff very nice and helpful."

The Granite Luxury Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was well located within the centre of Penang with a good selection of restaurants and cafés all within walking distance. The staff both at reception and also cleaning were excellent in particular a staff member who took care of my room who goes by the name of Harun was a lovely chap who could not do enough for us. We felt very welcomed throughout our day and would recommend the granite hotel to future visitors of Penang."

PARKROYAL Penang Resort

8/10 Good

"Staff were excellent, room was OK, but I booked a deluxe seaview with i thought a balcony, and got a view of the car park and no balcony. TV stations are adequate, but movie channel froze constantly. The shower drain was slow, and maintenance did not fix it on request. Breakfast was wonderful one day and not so wonderful other days. WIFI was good. In house food and drinks were expensive, A coke 18 ringit, 3.5 ringit at the local shops."
