Stayed a night in Mei Hotel, Penang Read the review and decided to book for a night for the short stay. They room was clean and nicely done The reception at check-in was professional and everything done smoothly The hotel is located in the same lane of the famous coconut drink in Penang. It is just at the end of the road Next to the hotel you have HealthLand which is good place for a nice rub down or foot massage after a whole day of moving around. (Beware, it is usually full. Advise to pre-book a slot early) Nearby the hotel has plenty of eatery and it is off the main road making the hotel an ideal location. Near main road but without the noise of it. Overall, good, convenient and clean. Only set-back is the parking. They have those lift parking system but the entry is very narrow and difficult to manage Not advisable for new car or those long sedan. MPV/SUV not allowed. You just have to park by the road side.

Ropewalk Piazza Hotel By Phc

Comfortable 2-bedroom Suite, near with everything, worth a money.

Reviewed By mytravellicious

It was a short Grab car drive from my previous hotel to the Ropewalk Piazza Hotel, less than RM5. The whole building is actually owned by Ropewalk Piazza Hotel. Some of the units are rented by the other shops. All the suite is located upstairs. Unfortunately, no carpark is available at this property. So you can park your vehicles along the road next to the hotel. Once you got your parked your car, my advice, if you want to go around the city, use the GrabCar Service. You can pay your park using the apps of PenangParking, which cost only RM0.80 per hour. In their website, there is map guide of suggestion where to park your car Surprisingly, it is only less than 5 minutes walk from Prangin Mall, KOMTAR, 1st Avenue Mall and Chowrasta Market. As I was using bus to go back to Kuala Lumpur, the Bilion Star Express office only 3 minutes walked from the hotel. So convenience. As the hotel is located on the center of heart of the city, it is easy to go everywhere. The check-in process was smooth and with the modern design. A few sofa at the lobby for you to chill. Basically, you only walked through the lobby only during the registration and checked-out. There will no room card provided, instead you will giving the room keylock number. If you see at the hotel building, there are many doors along the corridor, it is actually a guestroom door. You need to opened the door using the keylock number given (no room key/card), and that's it, the door is opened. So, you will need to memorize your key number, so snap a photo of your keylock number card or you can bring a card with keylock number on it. No need to worry if you lost the card. Once you opened the door, there is a stairs welcoming you. It is quite high to be honest. So, all I can say, it is not really suitable for senior citizens, the one need special assistance also the young children as you worried they will fall down. I love the living room, there is a sofa bed, television, microwave, water heater, and fridge. It's a normal amenities for the apartment style hotel. But unfortunately, no kitchen provided. Microwave is really convenience for you to heat up the food. There are 2 bedrooms provided. 1 king bed in master bedroom and 1 queen bed in other room. So actually total of 6 adults can stay in this apartment. So it is worth the price. The master bedroom is really spacious, provided with another television, make up table plus the big size of wardrobe cabinet. All I can say everything is complete inside such as security box, iron, and etc. Another room is just basic, with very comfortable queen bed plus the wardrobe. All is excellent for me. Unfortunately, I was alone during my stay, so I just hang out in my master bedroom as it is so cozy. The bathroom has the luxurious vibes a little bit as there is no bathtub provided but I like the vibes which I can't explain. Love the amenities provided by the Penang Hotel Collections. Love the gold color theme of amenities as its look classy. The rain shower has the excellent pressure which make you did not realize that you already in the shower for a long time. Wifi is excellent, fast speed and working fine, I am really reliable with the Wifi as my phone signal is really week when I am the room. As I am working during the travel, love their makeup/working table in the master bedroom. It is really spacious and I can work comfortably. So I think place is suitable for you if you are looking to work from hotel. No breakfast provided. As microwave is provided, I think it is excellent as you can heat up your food. During this pandemic, it is a good idea to take away your food, avoid crowds and eat with your families at the hotel room, more comfortable and convenience. Plus the hotel location is near with every restaurant, and it is easy to order your favorite foods without waiting to long. When you are in Penang, you can forget to have a breakfast in hotel. Penang is a food heaven itself. All I can say, it is not suitable for ?????? ???????/??? ??????????: as it has a really high staircase in each unit.

Budget hotel with great service

Reviewed By HANITHAAJEEVANDRAN

This hotel seems to be affordable but the service and room is way more nice for the price. They are quite clean and they do regular cleaning service. Plus they have wifi which is really strong compared to other hotel I've stayed . Next, they also have small pool at the top with nice view. Overall, this place is really nice for the price and situated in the center of the city.

Nice Inn

Ok stay

Reviewed By G2Kpauly

I can only give 4 stars because there is no smoke alarm and I was travelling alone so would not wake up and I had to ask for refill of clean towels, water , shower gel on 3rd day . I was hoping my room would get cleaned but didnt. No window in my room. Other then that it's a nice stay for a good price with your own bathroom and nice roof terrace. Some guests came in late screaming around hallway when I'm trying to sleep and bar pumping but no big deal. The owner said he will install smoke alarms when I asked him so I can reccomend as great location in middle of Georgetown and great hawker food all around. I couldn't find anything cheaper with own bathroom.

Georgetown Heritage Motel

Comfortable, Clean, and great location!

Reviewed By Jaycee and Rich C

Stayed here for 3 nights whilst on a Visa run. Cheap, great location across the street from 24 hour restaurant, Easy central location on Chulia street means front-door access to public transportation that will cheaply and quickly whisk you away to anywhere you want to go. 7-11 also across the street. Arthur is a great host as well, very helpful and always ready to lend a hand. I highly recommend this place.

One night stay

Reviewed By Teri S

Friendly staff, clean room and bathroom. Great for a short stay, only 6 months old. Did not have extra towels, no fridge. And some of the rooms are small but the staff were very open sharing this information. The hotel was right in the middle of little India and on the weekend the shopping and food are amazing!!! All easily walkable! Perfect for backpackers!
