The hotel looks sad and old. There was a smell in the corridor probably from the aged and worn carpet. The aircon in the room was not cold and the thermostat couldn’t be adjusted. There weren’t enough towels provided in the bathroom and there was no toiletries. But my main grouse is that you can hear loud singing from the lounge from 9pm onwards.

Been here for just a night stay since i have an early meeting next day. Looking for a reasonable price hotel just near KOMTAR. The rest of my team, took a day use room for changing and bath and we took the breakfast package. Room was clean and neat, my view was the penang bridge. A bit of lack of toiletteries amenities, but i dont mind sinbce i brought my own stuff. breakfast was on 11th floor, its a open area and the view is magnificient. we can see a whole lot of Penang, with the price of RM25.00 for buffet breakfast, they offered a pretty standard Malaysia kind of breakfast, Nasi Lemak, Mee Goreng , sausages, hash brown, freef low of coffee, tea and orange juice and watermelon. Since we need to be early, i opt for open parking spot, but free for hotel guest. They allow bus to park infront of the hotel. Another plus side is that, the have the Sup Hameed just infront of the hotel. Convinient huh. and it is situated in the centre of Georgetown making it earsier to reach every touristy spot.…

The hotel was really clean and comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. Parking was perfect and the hotel within easy walking distance of all the restaurants and cafes of Georgetown. Breakfast isn't worth staying for and we elected to eat out. We had a room with a sea view and it really was lovely. Recommended place to stay.

Location is strategic - in the middle of town. Lots of restaurants, shops and stalls are walking distance from the hotel. Free parking. There's a convenience shop just downstairs the hotel but you can find a few along the way. Bank is just around the corner. Breakfast is basic but good enough - you need to choose either oriental or western and served with toasts. Room is clean and comfortable, limited TV channels though. It could be better if they put power plug at both sides of the bed. Walls are a bit thin and not soundproof so you can hear outside noise most of the times. Staff are very friendly, polite and helpful. I ask for iron and it was sent to my room in less than 5 mins. They even asked if i need to change my towels. Personally I'm really satisfied and if I'm coming back to Penang I'm definitely staying here. …

The room is comfartable and spacious. The breakfast provided is delicious and you can see the island bridge from inside the restaurant because the restaurant is on the 11th floor! The hotel room was very clean and the service from the staff was very good.

Travelled to Penang on short customer visit. I stayed at the Hotel Malaysia which has seen some good refurbishment since i was there last time. The room i stayed (44) has double beds with view over the rear of the hotel. Room was basic. The shower was very good (however you have to climb into the bath) The hotel is near the Komtar Tower where you can do some shopping. The highlight of the hotel has to be the restaurant that is on the 11th floor with panoramic windows overlooking the bay. View was very good and cool breeze. Breakfast was also good. Would stay there again.
