Best hotel stay in Penang!

Review of 88 Armenian
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 12 Dec 2023
From the moment I stepped in to the moment I left I enjoyed the hospitality and professionalism of the whole team at 88 Armenian.

The service was impeccable, the room was stunning, the bath butler service was the absolute highlight and the breakfasts provided were so delicious with a different theme each day.

I would highly recommend this hotel and a special shout out to KC who was so attentive to my needs and gave incredible recommendations of things to do in the city. I will definitely come back next time!

Hotel is wonderful. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect and near to good eateries. The Dunand room is clean and modern with a bath butler! I would recommend this to anyone and I will definitely return for another stay in future.

This little boutique hotel is located at the historical highlights of Penang. The hotel building itself is history in its own right, renovated with the highest quality served by a small but highly professional team of staff members. Watch out for the variety of local gourmandises for breakfast. The colours and tastes will blow your mind away. The large white bathroom can still your time away from the interesting visits at almost your doorstep. Don’t miss 88 Armenien. Be there even if you are not Armenien!

Room tip: If you are driving, don’t worry about parking. There is an open car park just a stone’s throw away.

The room, the service, the breakfast and the attention to details really made our stay quite special. The hotel is in the center of everything when it comes to the heritage center so it's really convenient to plan for the day ahead. As we had to work on the last day of our stay, the hotel made everything possible for us to still enjoy our time with them. So grateful for such a great place and the team behind it.

Room tip: Make sure to turn the AC off if you tend to be cold!
