Hotel near George Town
"I stayed for one night at The Chambers Hotel. Though it’s well maintained, it still looks dated but still comfortable enough. The receptionist was friendly enough to upgrade me to family room as my own room type was already full. Wifi is quite strong though it may lag sometimes when streaming videos.
The toiletries are relatively sufficient with both shampoo/body soap combo and toilet paper (though there’s a bidet spray). I couldn’t find the hair dryer and was careful about opening drawers as some of them looked old and brittle. It would be good if the furniture could be maintained better.
Location-wise, this is a very good location as it’s just opposite the Esplanade. It’s a good location for those who wants to mostly visit points of interest in historical George Town. I picked this location as I needed to take my ferry to Butterworth in the morning and this is just 10 minutes walk away. However, as it’s right next to the main road, there tends to be noisy cars passing by even during the wee hours.
Convenience wise, there is a water dispenser in the hotel and there is also a 7-Eleven if you need stuff late at night."

"This time I visited Penang again after 13 years. I wanted to visit places I hadn't been to last time and experience Nyonya culture again. So I chose a museum hotel with a Nanyang style. The hotel decoration is very distinctive and the transportation is convenient, but the room has no windows and the smell is not good. The hot water ran out in the middle of the shower because a switch controls the temperature. This is the first time I have seen this. There was an Indian woman at the front desk with a very average service attitude. The breakfast a la carte was a waste of time, and the front desk did not remind me that I needed to wait."

"The staff is very polite, proactive and talkative
The architectural design and equipment are very old-era style, and the photography is first-class
The room is clean and comfortable
The most special thing is that the staff will use ropes to lift the suitcases upstairs and downstairs."

"The room was good, even without a window it didn't feel cramped. The space in the room was quite well arranged. The bed, bedsheets and towels were clean. The bathroom amenities were all in good condition. There was hot water, quality soap and shampoo available. The hotel staff were friendly. The location was good, convenient for walking around. On the day of the stay there was a food festival, very close by. This hotel has a 100 ringgit security deposit, which is returned upon check-out."

"1) The air conditioning unit near the entrance was not functioning well, making that area uncomfortably warm. While the unit in the bedroom and washroom areas worked fine, my family had to stay primarily in the bedroom area due to the uneven cooling. We considered contacting the front desk, but after a long day of shopping, we were too tired and preferred to avoid any interruptions.
2) The hot water in the shower was intermittent, which made it difficult to enjoy a consistently comfortable shower.
I hope this feedback is helpful in addressing these issues for future guests."

"A Chinese-owned bed and breakfast is very close to the surname bridge. There are also many Chinese-opened tea rooms for breakfast. The room is small, the toilet is cool, and no one can speak Chinese when the boss is absent. The grand birthday of the Tiangong, I do not know whether it is fireworks or someone hit the window. Anyway, when the shower was in the window, the window was so loud that the mother was scared. I thought someone was out of the window. I quickly called to come over and check, and I didn’t find out the reason. The staff was also very good. It’s said that we didn’t change rooms, and we didn’t bother to change the last day."

GGuest UserFive-star facilities, five-star front desk service, but one-star doorman service. I leave this review for all non-white potential guests: There's evident racial discrimination in the concierge service here. The doormen exclusively assist white guests by greeting them, opening car doors, and handling luggage. My family felt uncomfortable about it, so I can no longer ignore their experience. While the hotel itself is beautiful and all the rest staffs are friendly and professional, I strongly recommend standardizing your SOP or replacing the door team.
British colonialism ended decades ago.

AAnonymous UserI want to be back!
🏅Reception staff - offered welcome drinks (cold grape juice) upon arrival. It was only past 10am but they allowed us early check-in! Called us after a few hours to ask if everything is alright with the room, or if we need anything...very proactive approach. The next day I called them to request some things we needed and they arranged it fast, with the help of Housekeeping. They were also very helpful with recommendations on where to eat breakfast. And yes, this hotel offer FREE shuttle service at popular breakfast hangouts. Just book your slot and timing with them.
Housekeeping - Sattar was assigned to our room and I have no complaints. I'm happy how he made our room fresh, replenished, and clean everyday. I made small requests if I can get some more of this and that, and he obliged very willingly!
Shuttle Driver - leaves on the dot. We always booked the 8:30am trip. This is a FREE service and there are 7 (I think) breakfast stops you can choose from. I love this service as it gives you plenty of options on what to eat, and Penang is truly a foodie destination. The hotel doesn't serve breakfast, I think that's why they have this service instead.
Location - no regrets! It's very central to everything. We did mostly walking tour to explore Georgetown and this hotel is close to many popular spots and streets. If you're tired of being outdoors, there's a new mall nearby, 1st Avenue, and some other older ones like Gama, Prangin Mall, and of course, TOP Komtar.
Room - very spacious for 2 persons! Everything we needed was provided. We really had a comfortable stay ❤️.
Pool - It has an acrylic bottom swimming pool with sweeping views of Georgetown. How cool is that! Gorgeous views from here!
Thank you to all hotel staff! It's not just the hotel itself, but your warm service is truly appreciated. Would love to come back again!

KKrystal TanWe had such an awesome time at Citadines Cecil! Although there is no breakfast, a food market is literally 1 min walk away, diagonally opposite the hotel. Its location is close to the main shopping areas, and most attractions are around 10-25MYR by Grab.
The rooms are clean and new. Toilet is great. Nice and cosy 🥰
Boyfriend loved how they have 24h coffee available all day!

RRoz AKAbsolutely love this hotel. Really value for money. Great location as it is near many eateries and cafes. Walkable to many places including Penang Street Art, Clan Jetties (20mins), Hin weekend market, TOP (15mins). Hotel itself is pretty new and spacious with a nice view of Georgetown and the sea (I was on 9th floor). Friendly staff and there is always someone manning the counter at Level 1. Takes 30mins to reach Penang Airport. Will stay here again next time I'm in Penang👍

GGuest UserThe good:
No deposit upon checking in, check in and out was a breeze, parking provided, the room carpet is clean and centralised aircond cools the room very quickly, the bed and bedding is comfy, cleanliness is tiptop, there's a pool and gym that's nice, and the TV channels were decent
The bad:
Did not validate my car plate and upon driving out, i was charged rm60+ for overnight parking. this was sorted out very quickly but was a hassle, the entrance to room from the parking lot is weird and not disabled friendly.
Overall, i had a good rest at st giles wembley at a decent price. Joined the membership and got a nice cup of coffee at the lobby. I got a room near the lift, so there were noises outside thus the soundproofing is not very good. But felt safe and the clean room feels good. A solid 4 out of 5, could have been better if it came with breakfast minus the hiccup at parking fees.

TTinyDreamer92The external of the hotel is beautiful. Location is good, close to some attractions like 姓周桥, Ferry post (pangkalan raja uda), heritage street arts, and some really cultural shop lots and aisle. It was not noisy and busy at night like Georgetown too. Room was clean and buffet was also better than expected, the variety was wide enough. The hotel is basic hotel with no gym/pool but has a free parking attached to it. Would definitely come back again!

AAnonymous UserThe location of the hotel is remarkable, very good, convenient to go everywhere. Downstairs is next to a breakfast shop, the roast meat and white chicken are absolutely delicious, especially delicious.
The hotel is very clean, and the accommodation is satisfactory. It is a good choice to only sleep and mainly go out for fun. The only dissatisfied waitress who came down to open the door for us was thin and wearing a nose stud, very arrogant and impolite. The slightly fatter waitress responsible for checkin is very good, and the male waiter who cleans the room is also very good.

TTan “陈时勉” See MinI have always been staying at this hotel which has ample parking spaces and close proximity to great local food. This year I managed to get it from Trip.com and being Chinese New Year, this hotel truly made my stay very memorable. There’s a great Bar at the roof that provides a nice view of the entire surrounding areas and witnessing Fireworks from a distance far.
