I am a regular at Cititel Penang. I have had good things to say about this hotel until my last visit a week ago. Upon arrival, I was given room 1616. View was good, as usual, but I can't say the same for the hygiene levels. These were my findings: 1. Stained pillow case (looked like coffee stains) 2. Hair... More

Listen, if you are looking for somewhere with good security, decent bed, great views, prety solid breakfast, replenished bathroom amenities and a bath then this is a good place (as long as you book a deluxe). The staff really work hard to be professional and the service was great. However, there is nothing to do in the hotel, the pool... More

We stayed two nights at Cititel. The room was not very big, but clean and functional. The hotel has a business character. Parking is free, the breakfast has a wide offer and wifi is free.The location is perfect to visit Georgetown.

The hotel lobby looks really grand. We got a superior room and a deluxe room for a family trip. As some reviewers pointed out, the size of the superior room and the deluxe room are the same, only the furnishing and toiletries are different. I would recommend the superior room if you are watching your expenditure since the physical difference... More
