The rooms are not refurbished and poorly maintained. The furnitures looked like it is from early 80s. Even the lobby looked unchanged since the 80s. If you are a fan of retro stuffs, this is the place for you. However the location is great, and it is near to most of the historical colonial bldgs of Penang. It is also... More

This is an old Chinese hotel. We chose it after having seen lots of hostels located on the Love Lane and Chulia Street. This one had at least a private bathroom and a lot of space in the room... As mentioned in the previous reviews, the furniture is old and completely outdated, with exception of bed, which is quite comfortable... More

Though hotel furniture & equipment is really overaged & worn, but we could sleep well in this hotel and all things were at least working. Walls and ceilings shout for a new painting. AC is centralised, you cannot adjust temperature, but luckily it was not too cold for us (usually we set AC to 25-27 °C). Quiet rooms, comfortable bed... More

A bit old, but clean. Rooms very spacious with huge windows. AC .......... freezing, but you have got "door" to close it :) New bathroom, daily cleaning service. Location is advantage of this hotel: close to Little India, in the center, just few steps from Bus stop to Penang Hill. We'd seen 5 guesthouses before Oriental hotel - it was... More

Stayed as an overnighter, the rooms are pretty old, air-conditioning was freezing. As the location was quite good and the price reasonable it is ok for short stay. Next time I will stay elsewhere as there are better options.

Reasonable price. Old interior room with centralized air cond. However located in very strategic place. Not recommended for family with baby or infant. Make sure you cover the bed before put your baby sleep on bed.

Stayed 3 times in last 3 years. Can't argue with the location, value and service. It looks old and worn because it is old and worn. Some reviewers say it's not clean. I think they're mistaking old and worn for not clean. At full blast the air con is perfect for aging sides of beef but is easily regulated by... More
