I was trying to look for new places to stay in Georgetown coz the previous place I used to stayed at have closed down (sad). They offer rooms at a pretty reasonable prices too so it's a good deal for me. Hotel is located along Jalan Penang, facing Muntri street (you won't miss it), which can be accessed from the Weld Quay bus station (it's a bit of a walk from Swettenham pier since they changed the passenger ferry location from Weld to Swettenham) via any bus that goes to Komtar. Go down 7-11 at Jalan Penang and walk your way towards the junction of Jalan Penang, Leith Street and Chulia Street, and walk a bit further past the Oriental Hotel and you'll see this hotel. The hotel is walking distance to a lot of convenience stores and also food establishments (like the Red Garden Food Paradise). It is also near bus stops so if you're coming from other spots in the island, some buses stop near the hotel. Rooms are clean, although the toilet and bath are a bit dated, the tub is a bit narrow for my liking. The tub and shower are combined, so you have to stand in the tub if you want to take a shower, which can be a hazard because you might slip and fall. Staff are very welcoming and helpful for any inquiries. Housekeeping did a great job in keeping rooms clean. Will definitely book with them again when I return to Penang in the future. Pros - great location, walking distance to heritage area - clean rooms - great staff - affordable rooms Cons - shower and tub can be a hazard - not much selection on the TV…

After a long series of MCO, a pleasant holiday experience is much needed. Thank you to Cititel Penang, for making our dreams come true. Straight forward booking process through hotel website. Hassle free check in; we received our room key in no time, and faster check out process. Cititel Penang is located near to local attractions, and bus stop and trishaw. Self service laundry also located at walking distance. It also has designated parking area for hotel guest. The room is clean, well equipped and comfortable for us. And waking up to a beautiful sea view, is definitely a bliss. Although we didn’t use swimming pool and gym facilities, my kids were having a good splash in the room bathtub. Breakfast at Main Street cafe is splendid. Huge selection of food; from main dish to desserts, and the coffee selection from the coffee machine is definitely a bonus. After all, we really enjoyed our stay at Cititel Penang. We even extended our stay for another night.…

Knowing all rooms being refurbished I am putting up a stay. My last was between 10-15 years ago, it was a pleasant one too. This time is no different and still the carries its charms. Warm welcome at the front desk (Carmenn, you are fantastic!), swift check in process and a wonderful smile. First impression, you got me. The room, one word, detailed and comfy from the tiniest plug points to the bed. Ok, the water pressure to flush is a bit low but, heck, not a big deal. Oh ya, a courtesy call from one Ms Lim to the room ensuring all is in place. Slept soundly after switching between channels from foreign news to cable movies and sports on Astro and Vision Four. Coffee making with Nescafe and tea bags, a hair dryer plus the toiletries essentials eg. toothbrush and paste, shower cap and the basic cleansers. Breakfast spread is commendable from local to Western and even Japanese! Soba, sushi, chawan mushi. The egg station, noodle bar and coffee machines with real fresh to grind beans. Will I return? You bet! I only have good words for this Cititel.…

The minute I got down from my grab car, the hotel staffs were there to receive my bags and even took our bags to the room. The check in and check out was a smooth process. The room is spacious and equipped with all the facilities. The housekeeping staffs were helpful too and friendly. They always kept our rooms clean. The room service is good too. The hotel is very near to the famous nasi kandar Line Clear and Chowrasta market. I will definately stay here when I come back to Penang again. To all the hotel staffs, keep up the good work and thank you for keeping the hotel sanitised and keeping everyone safe. You are a frontliner too!

For a 4-star Hotel it is as good as it gets. The rooms were refreshed recently with some old furnishings replaced. We got a nice promotion due to the current pandemic situation while in-house has a RM1 to upgrade to better room promotion. The bed however kinda hard to sleep on. Internet was good and our room at 16th floor has a very nice view of the strait of Melaka. You will find the hotel more than adequate for the reasonable rate and location within the city center.

Not my first time here and not my first review. As always, the location and the value for money keep me coming back here whenever in Penang and when i want to stay close to the town centre. I have decided to pay a biy extra and stayed at the newly refurbished rooms. We had a larger corner room and another twin bed standard room in order to have connecting rooms. The new rooms are reasonably acceptable at such price level. The hotel aircond can be quite cold at times despite setting it to the least cold mode. But in the overall i am always happy to return here again for its location and value for money.

The service at this hotel is excellent. We have been enjoying the promotion of RM 88 per night, and the service given to us is as good as the normal rack rate. The hotel maintains the service given to all patron of the hotel and we are honored to be their guests repeatedly. The best part of this hotel is the food outlets around the area. Don't miss out on the famous Air Nyior Tingkap (Coconut water), Tokua Rendang (friend tofu), chow rasta market where you can get most of the delicacies Penang has to offer. Due to Covid-19, we have been enjoying ordering food from various outlets in Penang that we love delivered by GrabFood like Harry Potter Tomato Rice, Hameediyah restaurant, kapitan restaurant and many more. Thank you Cititel for maintaining your service level, although the beach is far away, the view from your room is soothing and the fan installed in the room is an extra mention.…
