古い建物ですが清掃がしっかりされていました。スタッフの対応も大変良かったです。
冷蔵庫があったらより良かったです。
Betel Nut Lodge is a small hotel right in the middle of George Town, perfectly located with places of interests and food all within walking distances. The rooms are very clean, quiet and comfortable although not big. I liked that internet is fast and staff very friendly. Definitely will recommend this little gem to my friends and can't wait to stay again if I return to Penang
All is good..
The parking is free, however you need to luck finding it first (if the one nearest to hotel is filled, you might have to walk a bit from your car to the hotel).
The check in/check out process was very smooth. The receptionist on both days was very nice and kind.
The room was nice. It's based on traditional build but still feel comfortable. However, the size is a bit packed so you might have trouble to move around. The location is also very good, very near to most Nasi Kandar, the alley tourist spot and terminal bus (11 min)
The size of the room is a bit small but not troublesome.
This 150 year old building has great charm and the owner has kept it as original as possible. The room is not big but it has the necessary travellers' facilities like fast wifi, en suite bathroom( not common in small Penang heritage hotels I've stayed), streaming TV and good air-conditioning, safe box. The place is very clean and quiet and the bed is comfortable( with feather pillows!).So I had a good sleep at night. The 24 hr staff are friendly although they can't communicate well in English. But, everything I wanted is sorted out by them. The security is very good whereby only guests are allowed entry with keycards. This will definitely be my small heritage hotel of choice the next time I visit Penang.

Location is perfect for exploring the old town. Popular Armenian street is less than a 10 minute walk, and there is a shopping mall not far also. The shower provided plenty of almost hot water once we figured out how to turn it on. The internet worked reliably. The daily room make up was done reliably bringing us fresh drinking water.
We were very disappointed in the condition of our standard room especially given what we paid - over $50 per night. There were large cracks in the concrete walls, chipped and blemished paint, uneven wall services, and what appeared to be water damage or mold in some areas (see photos). I realize this is an historic property but in no way did we find our room charming, inviting or comfortable as some reviewers say. Additionally, the beds were quite small and not very comfortable for a six foot tall person. As for the staff we only met one employee who seemed very nice and was quite attentive but he spoke little English, so we could not discuss our room situation or ask for local information. Overall, this was not a place we looked forward to coming back to after a long day of touring.
The staff were just lovely, the bed was super comfortable and lovely to have tea and coffee in the room.
Staff also brought lemongrass tea and cake as a gift for Xmas and boxing days.
The location is brilliant too, easy walking to many key spots, or taxi right outside.
A beautiful historic building in a historic part of the city.
The room was so small, taken up so much by the 4 poster bed.
Pity not to have a fridge but no room for it.
Staff didn't speak much English, and No WhatsApp messaging available... So we had to communicate mostly through emails.
1. Although it is a small hotel, it is clean and quiet. The first time that I have stayed in a so quiet hotel.
2. The security is also superb. Without the room card, you can't enter the level 2 of the hotel.
3. The gentlemen who man the counter both morning and night provide very good service. Good, keep it up!
1. The water flow of the shower can be bigger for better flow.
2. A bottle of hand soap is placed beside the sink.
3. Provide face towel.
extremely cute and clean little place in a historic building with a great vibe and atmosphere. The location was perfect. It was very safe and efficient.
The room was on the smaller side but that was fine for me.
El staff molt simpàtic i molt agradable, tot molt net
Potser l’habitació una mica petita, però perfecte per un parell de nits
Muy centrico, al lado de todo. Hotel sencillo,tipico de Malasia. Pero muy limpio y personal muy amable y educado. Habitación sencilla pero cómoda.
Todo bien
Location is great and it’s fun staying in a heritage hotel with nice decor and details. Loved the bed. The complimentary Netflix was a bonus.
The room was a little small (but fine for solo traveler). The staff were pleasant and competent on the basics, but couldn’t provide info about,eg, the best time to leave to catch a particular ferry, or recommendations on food in the neighborhood, etc. You need to be independent.
La gentillesse du personnel et l emplacement .
L'odeur d'humidité dans la chambre .
La ubicación es genial y el personal muy bien. Educado y nos obsequiaron con un te y pastas después de un día cansado.
Es una opción muy recomendable.
La habitación es sencilla pero estaba todo muy limpia y las camas son cómodas.
