I am a little confused about the various Hutton hotels nomenclature but from the address and photos this is the apartment block we stayed at for three days though we booked it as Hutton Suites. These apartments are located in Jalan Hutton, just before it becomes Lebuh Campbell, in the buffer zone around the core UNESCO heritage zone. The core zone is about 8 minutes walk away down Lebuh Campbell. The free CAT bus is just around the corner, in front of the Seven-Eleven, on Jalan Penang. The Seven-Eleven had an ATM we used. It is a really great location. I chose Hutton Suites (or Hutton I) over Hutton II because it had two bedrooms and our upstairs apartment was spacious, modern and clean in retrofitted historic shop buildings. The two bedrooms (one with king size bed at the front and one with two single beds at the back) were separated by the living and kitchen which is good when travelling with older children or family. The beds and pillows were firm and comfortable. There were good reading lights in the bedrooms and accessible power charging points. There are two large flat screen TVs - one in the master bedroom and one in the lounge room. There is only one bathroom near the bedroom with the single beds but, again, very modern with a glass-door shower. The shower had fantastic water pressure and temperature range. Toiletries were supplied and there was a washer dryer with laundry detergent. It has a minimal kitchen - only a few utensils - but enough to be able to cook except you’re in George Town and eating out is so easy. Coffee, tea and bottled water supplied. The fridge and freezer was useful. There was a couch and table with four chairs. It has seriously good air conditioning! Wifi is also excellent. There is no on-site reception or luggage holding at Hutton Suites but we arranged to leave our main bags at Hutton II (5 minutes away) around 9am then picked them up and checked in there after 3pm. I arranged this beforehand when I booked and got quick responses to my query. Check-in was easy and we were issued with the key code for the building. There is no lift so you must go up stairs with luggage. Daily servicing of the apartment is included. There is an inspection before you leave.…

This place was huge, beautiful, new and spacious. The service and staff were amazing and friendly. But, the room we got was quite dingy. It had no natural light in almost the entire place (living room, bedrooms). Also, it was quite loud at night where we were. We were near an intersection and every minute when the pedestrian crossing turned to “walk” there would be a beeping for 30 seconds. I feel bad because that is out of the hotel owners control but it’s not great for light sleepers. The city of Georgetown should really turn the beeping off at night! We thought it was funny because Georgetown is not very pedestrian friendly (very few sidewalks) but the one intersection that was kept us up at night!

Thank you very much for your review, 148shannono. Great to learn that your experience with our staffs and service have been amazing. Sorry to hear that those "beeping" sounds have been keeping you awake, but Georgetown can be a bustling town. Perhaps you may want to try out our other properties located at different areas of Georgetown, namely Magazine Vista, Bahari Parade, Ropewalk Piazza, Macallum Central. Looking forward for an opportunity to welcome you again at PHC Hotels.

As a hotelier I enjoy checking into boutique hotels. Gone are the times of having to check in and physically register at the counter, thanks to pin enabled security locks making the arrival experience convenient with no fuss. Hutton Central is equipped with modern technology, modern interior. The shell however has been restored to stay true to its heritage. You will find old tiles and large windows. Opposite the hotel is a vintage hair salon with a very welcoming owner. Just outside your doorstep you will find Six Wines - great place to unwind after a long day of exploring and eating. Good variety of wines and very approachable manager. Location is fantastic. A walking distance to all that the heritage centre has to offer. With modern facilities and up to date technology you don’t need help unless technology stops working. For the brief second it did, the facilities manager Kumaresh was present to help us reset the password. He was always reachable and always seemed to be just a stone throw away and ready to help. Great experience. …

Thank you Jlm1983 for such great review on Hutton Central I, a greater pleasure as this came from a peer! We hope to bring in an experience that is something a little bit different - from our pin enabled locks to extensive amenities in our suites. Glad that you like all that and even our facades too! Kudos to Kumaresh and definitely will let him know that he is doing such a great job. Looking forward to see you again soon.

There is Hutton Central I and II and check in can only be done at II. However the staff was nice enough to come to us at I for the check in procedure. I would say the service the hotel give is really good. The hotel is well equipped with kitchen facilities, washing maching, shower facilities. Rooms and bed are huge which is really good for friends and families travelling in groups. The TV though do not have much channels to choose from. The hotel is walking distance to many iconic sites and famous eateries. Other than that you can just take grab which is easily available and affordable. Also there is a bar located just below the room we are staying so it got really noisy during one of thw nights. The bar closes around 1~2am? And i assume it only opens on weekends as the rest of the night was quiet.…

This was a great find for my boyfriends birthday. It was much nicer than most of the places we had stayed in the past but the price was not so drastically different. The location was excellent, close to chinatown and a big main road with loads of food options. Even a Nasi Candar place that is open 24/7, and a 7-eleven both 3 mins walk away. The intermittent beeping of the pedestrian crossing can be heard all night from the living room but as soon as you go to bed there is no sound at all. Modern building but still shutters and lovely traditional european style from the outside. The reception is actually 3 minutes walk at the Hutton Central II. Has washing machine, stove top, big fridge/freezer, 2 bedrooms and lovely bathroom.

When your children attain adulthood, parents spend less time living together. Either they are in university or working. In this space of time before they are married there is hardly any time that's spent in one living area. So on our 28th anniversary my hubby and I decided to spend some time together with our grown up kids in PENANG. After searching for days we found a two bedroom unit at Hutton Central 1. We initially booked for a day stay since were just like 4 to 5 hours away from. We arrived later than the check in time, yet the staff were curtious enough to bring the registration forms and keys to our unit without us having to get to their office. We had to climb a flight of stairs to our unit and what awaited us was an awesomely clean and beautifully laid out unit. The entire works, bedrooms, bathrooms, more than a pantry, flat screen tv sets and a living area simply amazed us. That night, we even had some friends from Penang over for some coffee and late night supper. The next morning we discovered how extremely convenient this location was. We had the famous chinese roti bakar and coffee stall, the famous cendol and even the famous roti canai stall within a radius of about 200 meters away. Then there was the morning market and rows of shops selling clothings and all kind of stuff that makes you want to just shop and shop. The bigger shopping malls too were within walking distance. From there we also were able to drive to a Kerala food restraunt, a bakery that bakes fresh loafs of bread that you have to que to purchase. That when we regretted not booking for two nights. So we requested an extension but sadly they were fully booked. We then looked into the booking service providers to see if we could get another unit. Finally we found a single room that sleeps four at the same entity. However after booking at an extremely reasonable rate we found that the unit was not suitable for 4 adults. The Hutton staff were really amazing. They came in and immediately addressed our predicament and also some other small technical issues at the unit. They the found us a unit that was just completed at the Rope Walk Piaza apparently managed by the Hutton Central group as well. This guys (3 of them) actually helped to move us to this unit and without any additional charge. The staffs quick action and compassion really amazed us. The Rope Walk Piaza had three rooms, a beautiful living and an awesome lay out and tastefully decorated. Our 28th anniversary with my grown children was made even more eventful by the staff of Hutton Central. Holidays are not just about the STAY or the room or the convenience it's also about the people who go beyond their service levels to give us that "WOW" experience.…

A great hotel within the centre of Georgetown. Close to a number of key attractions. I stayed two nights with my family. You get an entire suite for a very reasonable price. The suite is very well furnished and managed. Really enjoyed our stay.
