Great stay - convenient to the malls and walking to historic areas.
Pros:

We moved from our Airbnb that was not well laid out in the heritage section of town to this hotel during our visit. It was a great upgrade. Great showers and bath, and spacious rooms. Service was excellent. Highly recommended by these American travelers.

Great Place to Stay in George Town Penang
Pros:

Fantastic hotel..... I stayed for 3 weeks in January, and it is such a complete experience. Breakfast: amazing variety. Room is comfortable, large walk-in shower, bed is massive! Roof-top bar and pool, perfect for relaxing outdoors in the evening. Hotel staff very professional, helpful, welcoming. Great proximity to two shopping malls (within 3 minute walk), also great for food outlets: Din Tai Fung my favourite. I highly recommend.

GREAT SERVICE!
Pros:

From the time that icecream was handed to me at check in, this hotel delighted me. The staff were always at the ready. From the front doorman who was forever helpful, to the fun golfbuggy ride to the mall, the wonderfully spacious premium room, the extra comfy beds, and the great housekeeping services....the list goes on.
Location is fantastic.
A must stay experience!
