Review of Royale Chulan Penang
Reviewed 23 Sept 2019via mobile
The deluxe room with pool view was comfy, clean and big to stay in throughout my 3 nights. The hotel staff from the bellboys, concierge, receptionists, cafe staff, security guards and cleaners were polite and professional. I like that the bathroom has conveniently separated the toilet and shower area with doors. But I hope the hotel can consider installing another power socket beside the beds so that 2 person can play on their devices in bed and charge their devices concurrently. I enjoyed my stay.

The hotel service and facilities were good. Location are great and walking distance to Penang eateries, museums and attractions. The parking is quiet a challenge during peak season. Pool was just okay. Hotel interior is nice and luxurious. Overall i can give good rating if not because of bed mites bite on my kids. My 5yo son was infected and been itching all day, while my 18 months baby get it before checking out. It spoiled our holiday since the kids were cranky. Hope they can clean and sanitise the bed thoroughly for others.

Dear nasrul_rahman,
Greetings to you from all of us at Royale Chulan Penang!
Thank you for your feedback during your recent stay with us. We are indeed happy to hear that you found our rooms and facilities favourable and that you found the location of our hotel convenient during your stay. With George Town being in the core zone of the UNESCO Heritage Site, it has a lot to offer, from food and to other historic landmarks, just a stone throw away from the hotel. I am sure you had a good time walking around the old George Town heritage area.
We are certainly looking forward to welcoming you back here again and we would like to thank you for selecting Royale Chulan Penang as your accommodation of choice.
Kind regards,

Have spent 14 nights at hotel checking out this morning.
Hotel location good.
Whole experience spoiled by attitude of reception staff when asked if room could be supplied with an armchair instead of a narrow chaise. Staff treated this request in a very offhand and dismissive manner. We felt that no effort was made to assist us with the issue. The only chair offered was a basic dining chair.
The manner of the staff when dealing with this issue we feel fell short of expectations and perceptions of a hotel of this standard.
