I was more than underwhelmed when I first saw my room at the Savv Hotel in Georgetown. The room looked small, the bed appeared more than flimsy, and I felt this was going to be a long 2 night stay. However, as time went on this room 'grew' on me. The bed turned out to be more quality than originally thought. The aircon was powerful and easily controlled, the wifi was efficient and the bathroom was spacious and modern. In fact, the shower itself had incredibly hot and powerful water if you wanted it. The hotel had great service including the parking security and the front lobby. Overall, this was an enjoyable stay and I woudn't hesitate in staying here in the future.

Hotel's Favourite
I had such a fantastic stay at Savv. I was lucky to find this hotel which offers single rooms for solo travellers. Not only that it is more affordable, the room is so well designed that it doesn't make you feel claustrophobic. The pictures shown on the website do not reflect the actual size of the room. The cabin room is actually very spacious for a single occupier. There is a long hallway between the door and the bed which makes the room very functional. The hotel is relatively new and the vibe is modern and warm. As a clean freak, I am very impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel. They have sanitisers every where and excellent hygiene standards. I always like to "inspect" the room upon first entry by looking for hairs on floors or dust in hidden corners but I couldn't find anything in the room. The room is facing one of the main streets and you can hear the traffic quite clearly. It does not bother me because I like a bit of noise when staying in an unfamiliar place alone especially at night. If you are a light sleeper, then bring ear plugs! The hotel has 24hr security with a guard sitting at the entrance who does his job very well and checks to make sure you are a hotel guest every time until he becomes familiar with you. As a solo traveller, safety is my priority and I couldn't have felt more impressed. Angel, who is at the reception all the time is super friendly and helpful. The housekeeping team is also very warm and friendly. I forgot to ask for her name but this lovely lady gave me a very pretty face mask because I complimented the one she was wearing one day. She did my laundry and hand washed my new garments for me. I couldn't have asked for more. The hotel is very close to the famous Chew Jetty and many other tourist attractions. Everything in George Town is within walking distance if you can put up with the heat and humidity. If not, Grab comes to your door step and is extremely affordable. The hotel doesn't have any food outlets but no one will eat at hotel restaurants in Penang! Go out and explore the abundance of crazy yummy food around! One of the popular dessert cafes China House is just around the corner. And this famous chinese pastry store Ming Xiang Tai with their famous egg tarts is also 2 minutes away by foot. I cannot recommend this place highly enough to travellers who like to stay in a place which makes you feel like home. This is the beauty of a small hotel. The service is very personalised and you feel very attended. Staying at Savv Hotel is definitely one of the highlights of my Penang trip.…

I recently stayed at SAVV Hotel in March/April 2023. I have stayed in George Town a number of times over 10 years and this (relatively new) hotel is really working very hard to look after guests and now tops my list! Everything was fantastic - staff very friendly, outstandingly helpful and professional from reception, cleaning, to security and maintenance. Hotel is spotless and the small pool gorgeous to cool off in (cleaned regularly). Busy location but I liked this as a solo traveller and felt very safe - easy to catch a Grab car at hotel entrance. Special mention to Mae and Kathy who made my breakfast every day - thinking about that great homemade jackfruit jam! Thanks everyone for making my stay so enjoyable. See you next year!

We travelled around the Malaysian peninsula and Singapore over a period of almost four weeks, this was our best and favourite accommodation. We had a corner room, with incredible views of the jetty’s and out to sea. The room and bathroom, which also had a view, were spacious and spotlessly clean. The small pool and garden area, provided a welcome spot to relax after walking around Georgetown. The free CAT bus terminus was about 100 yards from the hotel and the same distance in the other direction was the Chew Jetty food court. We ate here every night. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Kathy, Angel and Keerthi at reception , Ramlah who cleaned our room and May who looked after us so well at breakfast time.

One of the best possible locations to stay in George Town - and the price is very fair. My room was always very clean, the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel's laundry service is good. Hotel staff gave me a nice postcard and took care of its dispatch. Will definitely come back to this hotel whenever I revisit George Town.

Had the best stay at SAVV hotel, really loved it! The location was perfect - close to the ferry and the old city center with lots of nice places to eat. The hotel has a swimming pool to cool down, including complimentary beach towels. The room is big with the most amazing bed (REALLY big and comfy). Would definitely go back!

Clean, friendly and really ticks all the boxes. Close to the Jetty, right next to beach street and 10 minutes from love lane where all the bars and restaurants are. Bed was very comfortable, room big and clean. Bathroom lovely and amenities lovely. Best of all was the lady who looked after us for breakfast. Nothing was trouble and she made sure we got unique breakfast everyday.

Hotel SAVV is a fairly new Hotel in Georgetown and is very much a hidden gem located by the Clan Jetties and close to the Jetty bus and ferry terminal. The hotel is located within the UNESCO world heritage zone of historic Georgetown and within easy walking distance of all of the world heritage site attractions including the local street art, local food courts, Restaurants, and little India. The Hotel is very comfortable with all the facilties you basically need, I stayed in a Cabin room which designed for single occupancy with a single bed but the room is more than large enough and comfortable for a solo traveller. I like in particular the electronic do not disturb / please make up room signs which you can switch on within the room. All the Hotel Staff are very professional, Helpful, friendly, and approachable. The Breakfast is good, and is cooked on an individual basis for each guest. The Breakfast menu is available when you check in and can be varied for each day of your stay, which is cooked and served outside on the terrace. The Hotel is good value for Money and is good for both Business and leisure travellers. This Hotel can definately compete with the more expensive Hotels with higher star ratings at a more reasonable cost. The Hotel staff and the Malaysian Hospitality here is wonderful, especially the wonderful May who took care of Breakfast during my stay. If you are looking to stay in the Georgetown area and you find this Hotel is available for the dates you require for a reasonable price, don't hesitate, this Hotel is getting very popular, Just book it. …

Excellent location within the UNESCO Heritage neighborhood. Not only that, it is directly across from the famous Chew Jetty. If you are up by 8 am, you can cross the road and have the jetty to yourself minus the tour groups that descend on the jetty by 10 am. Across the street are also food stalls where you can buy your meals. The well patronized China House is also a short walk away. The room we had was very clean and spacious, but lacking in a few amenities such as no facial soap, shower cap, and hair conditioner, and very few clothes hangers. The bedside tables have no drawers and there is not much surface space if you want to unpack for a longer stay. Parking is free. The are about 8-10 car park lots. We were concerned about the small number of parking lots, but it was no trouble at all, as according to the hotel, many guests don’t drive up with a car.…

Savv is very central to touristy sites like Chew Jetty (just opposite!) and Armenian Street. It's also walking distance to the eateries which makes it really convenient. The hotel is warm and welcoming - loved the garden area! The rooms are clean, well maintained and comfortable.
