Great place to stay for a very affordable price

Reviewed By GodSella

Stayed here couple of times already. It's a great place to stay in Penang. Many restaurants nearby, and the property is clean and most of all, very affordable. Great customer service too as some other affordable properties couldn't accomodate midnight check in time.

Lovely guesthouse stay

Reviewed By S6056JVemilyd

I stayed in the new wing of Carnarvon house, in a double bed room with a private bathroom. The room was spacious and bright, and everything was very clean. The owners of the house were extremely friendly and breakfast was always delicious! The house has an awesome location, very close to Armenian Street which makes walking around very easy. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

The budget hotel boom has it's ugly side. Most will say able to accept less service. Always comparing to price paid. RM 85 is not cheap for a small room. Ie. Common water dispenser, dispenser soap & shampoo, no breakfast, no bellman. Pro Location near food. Right smack in CBD. Walking distance to attractions. Transport convenient. WiFi signal good. Key card, double lock & peep hole. Good comm by staff (reservation). Clean pillow, bolster, towel, bath mat & duvet. Cons Windows locked (a gap would suffice). Feeling nausea with stuffy room. Noisy neighborhood. Limited parking bay. Bathroom small (adequate). Parquet floors cracked & bulging. Flimsy electrical wire (water heater). Writing table broken (legs). Non smoking rooms. No coffee / tea making amenities. No soap bar (even small round ones). No staff to assist with luggage (permanent)

Magpie Heritage - Hideaway

Tucked along the busy Beach Street (Lebuh Pantai) in the heart of George Town, it is a surprisingly quiet hideaway offering luxury and comfort with unparalleled room amenities. It is perfectly located for short walks to most of George Town main sights, restaurants and quirky café’s. The discreet shophouses façade hides literally a handful of rooms (5 total) which are available in five colours, all meticulously designed and planned around two internal courtyards.

Hidden right in the heart of Georgetown, small, cosy outfit

Reviewed By ChristinePhing

Literally a hideaway, Magpje Heritage’s front is one of the old shops in Georgetown. Location-wise it is strategic for tourists who’d like to visit the attractions in the heritage zone. For locals like us who drove, there’s public parking in front of the shophouse. Parking tickets are required on office hours for weekdays and first half of Saturday. Entering the place feels like you’ve been brought to a refurbished heritage place with a blend of the modern taste. There’s an upper floor and the ground level rooms. Due to the wooden floors, don’t expect sound proof because these were retained heritage features. Our room was spacious, decorated with pictures of the 1950s and comes with a little backyard corner. The flooring is slightly uneven, shown in the last photo. Our fridge, opened, saw leftover spoiled milk shakes spill out, and we immediately called the front desk. He’d gone out for dinner and hasn’t eaten at 9pm but he still came back to attend to us immediately. Good service!

Perfect location but so many issues

Reviewed By rcblower

The hotel is located in very strategic area in Georgetown, easy to walk to many famous tourist spots. The hotel was nice and clean but we facing terrible door problem. We almost miss our bus while waiting for them to open our room, and finally its can be opened after 1 hour. hufft. Some lights in the room wasn't working either and according to their reception staff, his friend gave us out of order room upon check in. We really upset to hear that and he only said sorry. also the lady in the breakfast not really friendly and she always watching you everytime you go to the buffet to take food. really unpleasant.

Quaint and lovely hotel

Reviewed By Beckyyyl

What I like about Sweet Cili Hotel (“SCH”) are as follows: 1. Cleanliness - the reception, the common room and the room are kept sparkling clean all throughout our 3- night stay. 2. Hassle free check-in and check-out - both processes were quick and smooth. 3. Location - SCH is situated near the heritage sites, reachable by walking. If driving, the roads can be busy. 4. Room - My family of 4 stayed in the loft room which has ample space. The décor is a vintage theme which we find charming (as per the photos shown). The few things that I find challenging (my own observations) are: 1. The bar next door played music from opening time till closing time (if you’re one to sleep early/ light sleeper, this might be a concern). Our loft room is just next to the bar. 2. If you drive, the car parks are those street parking bays operated by the Penang Council. It can be difficult to find a parking bay during peak hours. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at SCH.

A bit noisy at night...

Reviewed By Rirji

The worst thing is that the noise is mainly caused by the reception staff. It is a low grade hotel so I had brought earplugs just in case there would be noise. Room is otherwise clean and aircon/water heater ok good working condition. Hardly any car parking space despite being advertised as a hotel with parking. This is a serious consideration. I most likely will be checking out other options for my next trip to Penang. 晚上有点吵,最糟糕的是噪音主要是接待人员造成的。 这是一家低档酒店,所以我带了耳塞以防万一会有噪音。 房间干净,空调/热水器好工作状态。 尽管被宣传为带停车位的酒店,但几乎没有任何停车位。 这是一个严肃的考虑因素。 我很有可能会为我下次去槟城旅行时查看其他选项。
