23 Love Lane Hotel
4.2/544 Reviews

23 Love Lane Hotel

George Town|0.37km from Penang Little India
A unique accommodation in the heart of Georgetown. This was the perfect location and within walking distance of many places of interest as well as local and western eateries. The staff at this place go above and beyond. Staying there for a week you start to feel a part of the family. They are able to organize tours, drivers and laundry at request. The rooms itself was spacious and around the side of the building meaning it was well hidden and the rooms; you really feel like you are staying in a authentic Malaysian mansion given the decor. Last but not least there is the resident cat ”Mike” who you will undoubtedly come across for pats throughout the day. We also got breakfast during the stay and they have a local or western option. My advice go for the roti- was very yummy. All in all I would recommend this accommodation to anyone looking to stay in Georgetown and would stay there again if I return.
The Prestige Hotel Penang
4.5/5276 Reviews

The Prestige Hotel Penang

George Town|0.39km from Penang Little India
One of the best hotel experiences we've had on the planet. Stupendous dining. Convenient location to truly experience George Town, even walking. A check-in experience and hallway decor that really bring to mind the movie experience. Definitely our top choice for George Town if somewhere historical is not available.

The George Penang by The Crest Collection

George Town|0.85km from Penang Little India
It started off rough. Got into the hotel early to leave our luggage and the guy manning the check in was cold, standoffish, and didn’t even bother replying to our pleasantries. When we returned, a misunderstanding ensured. Cos of my earlier encounter, I was just unreasonable. But thank goodness for Suhaila (I think) and her manager - they deescalated the situation with grace and aplomb. That bump aside, I had a lovely time. Was in room 213. Initially I was worried because I have read about noise issues coming from the club next door. But either the club was closed or the soundproofing worked, there were no disturbances. We slept like babies. The room was beautiful, and the location is amazing. This hotel is highly Recommended. Just don’t bother to pay extra for the breakfast. That was just too sad. We tried it on our last day in the hotel as we were leaving early for the airport. It was dismal.

Macalister Mansion

George Town|2.27km from Penang Little India
The hotel is suitable for couples, very romantic, only 8 rooms, each room is different, the bar on the first floor is very good, the little girl and the young man in the breakfast restaurant are Chinese descendants, very warm, there are no attractions around the hotel and Shopping for food, there is no restaurant in the hotel, you can only go outside to eat, everything else is fine.

Ascott Gurney Penang

George Town|2.64km from Penang Little India
My elderly parents stayed at The Gurney during their medical checkup in Penang and accidentally left behind some documents. We emailed the hotel and left a message through booking.com to no avail. Then through a phone call, we got connected to Danesh at the Concierge Department, who then went the extra mile to coordinate among various departments within the hotel, and mailed the document through express courier service. His attentive service is highly appreciated.

Grand FC Hotel
4.2/569 Reviews

Grand FC Hotel

George Town|0.95km from Penang Little India
Hotel is nice, however I highly recommend to change or move carpets in the corridor - they looks terrible and at first glance spoil the impression about the place. Rooms were clean, bathroom is new, hot water is very good. That is a pity you couldn’t open the windows, we have a view on the nearest building roofs, looks not bad. We had a problem with AC, cause it works from extremely cold mode, to slow fan and the worst it was located in front of the bad, so if you switch it on for whole night - you will be ill in the morning, and the room is in the sunny side, so it is quite hot during the day and night. I don’t know how to be with that, we choose to move one of the 2 twin beds to each other, it helped not so much :( now i have a problem with my throat. The hotel use new technology of check in, but a little bit strange to check out from the same room if you want to extend your stay. Price in the hotel too high, better to find good offers online.
Le Embassy Hotel Georgetown
4/5103 Reviews

Le Embassy Hotel Georgetown

George Town|1.14km from Penang Little India
The white elevator is very unique to this elevator. Tho it was slow but I don’t mind bec it so chic with glass door. Very unique indeed! Love it though I wasn’t able to take pic. 😒 +++ white elevator, water refilling dispenser, very spacious room & bathroom +++ location was quite away from the main action but there are 2 bus stops nearby, komtar & chowrasta are 5-10mins walk +++ they provide dental kit, small soap, nice shampoo/conditioner & body wash, mugs, electric kettle, safe, ref, ac was functioning very well, room telephone, tv but i did not use it +++ free wifi was good —- reception is not very friendly except for 1 Indian guy who promptly answers whatsapp tho he mistaken me for a guy at first 😄, the chinese receptionist hardly smiles, indian lady seemed to not know anything when you ask about tourist spots (i think hotel people should equip themselves with some knowledge on tourism. I mean there should be basic orientation by management on this. Times had changed and you need to have these extra customer service, just suggesting). —- i was in the assumption that cleaning is daily but i was told every other day but i still need to remind them about it. Entire hotel can use some improvement in the cleaning — no closet inside the room, you just have to hang your stuff —- my view was a huge wall —- soundproofing is bad, very noisy when people close doors or children running around. You hear toilet flushing from nearby rooms —- it was raining when I arrive and nobody offered an umbrella except on the second day when the janitor heard me. That was appreciated very much. It also made me realize that umbrella is a weapon for solo travellers so that made the carrying a little easier —- towels smell mushy maybe bec of rainy season —- sometimes bathroom had some drainage smells —- food choices was a little limited in area unless you walk for like 5-10mins. Overall stay was still on the good side. I had way worst stays than this. I did enjoy my solo trip to Penang and would love to go back. I plan to stay next time near the street art areas where the actions are. I would still recommend le embassy to other travellers.

Ros Heritage Motel
3.1/519 Reviews

Ros Heritage Motel

George Town|0.1km from Penang Little India
On the plus side: - Great location in little India, right across the street from Kapitan restaurant which is open 24h and has great food for a decent price. Just a short walk away along Chulia street is Chinatown with street food stalls and the nightlife of Love Lane. - WiFi was very good On the minus side: - The room provides no sound isolation whatsoever from the heavily trafficked Chulia street, and to make matters worse, the nearby mosque likes to crank up the volume on the speakers during their calls to prayer. Make sure to bring ear plugs if you are planning to sleep. - The hostel did not provide toilet paper for the room, which was a first during all my travels. - The room rate was marketed as including breakfast, which it technically did, but it was a joke: it consisted of a glass of coffee and two slices of toast joined together by a razor thin layer of jam. Considering that the hostel is managed by an actual restaurant (where breakfast is also served) it's pretty obvious that this puny breakfast is only a way to game the system om booking sites. They could easily provide a decent breakfast instead. - The room was marketed as having a desk, but it did not have one, and the electric outlet was so far from the bed that there was no convenient way of using a plugged-in device. - The aircon was not adjustable. It was operated with just a button; on or off.
Ren I Tang Heritage Inn
4.7/535 Reviews

Ren I Tang Heritage Inn

George Town|0.1km from Penang Little India
The location is convenient for sightseeing. It may be said that it is located almost in the middle of Little India. We recommend going for a walk early in the morning before it gets too hot. There are no tourists on Armenian Street, so you can take your time and admire the mural art on your own. There is an Indian supermarket across the street from the hotel, and although it's not that big, they stock drinks and spices, and the store is typical of an Indian store. It's a small inn and you have to go up the stairs, so I don't think it's suitable for people who have large suitcases and are looking for perfect Japanese cleanliness. Although the breakfast time is late, we recommend this breakfast at this inn. Several types of breads such as croissants for Westerners (I haven't eaten them so I can't confirm the taste), local menu items such as nasi lemak, curry puffs, several types of Nyonya sweets, several types of fruits, *cooked in your favorite style. you can get. Free coffee, tea, and homemade lemonade for breakfast. There is also a cafe open during the day, and the Nyonya laksa here was quite delicious. The front desk is open until 11am at night, so it may be difficult for those with a late flight.
Red Inn Court
4/551 Reviews

Red Inn Court

George Town|0.11km from Penang Little India
I have a very good stay for 4 days at Red Inn Court. The owners are very friendly and always giving smile everytime we meet. Check in process was so easy, even though I didn't get any towel. When check in, you'll be asked for MYR 30 for room deposit. Plus: (+) Hostel is close to Rapid Penang bus stop. From the airport you can get down at Little India (Lebuh Chulia). From this spot or Penang Muzium you can go travel around Penang. It's very close to the hostel, for approximately 5 minutes walking. (+) For you who are Muslim, this hostel is very close to Kapitan Keling Mosque. You can clearly hear adzan (prayer calling) from this hostel. (+) You can find a lot of local cuisine in the surroundings. There are so many food choices you can take to eat. You're advisable to eat Nasi Kandar, Koay Teow, Penang Laksa, Hokkien Mee, Putu Mayong, Pasembur, and Popiah. They're the best quality food in town. (+) This hostel provides you a lot of tourist brochures inside their lobby. Free to take. You can freely take Penang Tourist Map, Penang Tourism Calendar of Events, Marking Georgetown, Penang Street Food, and so many more. By reading those references, I guarantee you wouldn't be lost in Penang. (+) This hostel offers its vintage style, precisely Chinese-vintage-style. I love it. There are so many rooms inside. (+) They serve you free simple breakfast, like bread, sandwich, fruits, etc. Free flow tea and coffee. (+) They have room service, so for you who stay more than one night, don't be worried, they'll clean your room, your bed, your blanket, etc. (+) The room is equipped with fan and air conditioner. It's completely sufficient to make you feel comfortable. (+) Because of its location, you'll be easy to find halal foods nearby. It's also strategic to go everywhere: State Court, KOMTAR, State Museum, Esplanade, City Hall, market, etc. Minus: (-) You maybe find the comments that the receptionist girl are rude. But I don't think so. She's clearly given me helps. I think that she's just ”polite”, not friendly. But the owners are very friendly. You can hire the motorcycle. For you who come from Indonesia or Brunei, the Madame is able to speak Malay/Bahasa. It will help you so much. Don't be hesitant to talk to her. (-) You will not find a large locker. There is a small locker behind your bed. It's small, not too large, but for me it's enough to place your precious belongings. It can only be opened by your own key so don't worry if your possessions can be stolen or not. (-) They have enough shared bathrooms, but there is no hot water inside. By the way, the bathrooms are clean. (-) When you firstly enter your room, you maybe find that it is a little humid/moist inside. I think it is because of air conditioning system. The room is small but the air conditioner is so powerful. (-) Personally, they didn't give me a towel (even though I brought mine). But they did give towels to every guest and I didn't get it. It's like a little unfair, subjectively. My rate: 8/

Advantages: 1 The hotel is located in the old street, close to various attractions, most of which can be walked. 2 The hotel owner is very good, Chinese, Chinese, and the first time I arrived at the hotel, I gave a good walking plan according to the map. 3 rooms are quite big and the service is very good. (Breakfast has not been eaten, no evaluation.) Disadvantages: 1 is located in the old street, the sound insulation is relatively general, but acceptable range. 2 late night trucks? At the time of the passage, the attic will have a slight shake.
East Indies Mansion
4.6/546 Reviews

East Indies Mansion

George Town|0.15km from Penang Little India
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is a Chinese colonial mansion and had a UNESCO heritage feel. The rooms we had were spacious and comfortable with large bathrooms. We traveled with another couple so we enjoyed the common spaces so we spend more time together outside of our individual rooms. Access to to the kitchen and dining area was great. The best part of our stay was the wonderful staff. They were attentive and always willing to assist. The location was walking distance to the jetty and esplanade. There are many good restaurants nearby.

Seven Terraces

Seven Terraces

4.3/560 Reviews
We were looking for a unique hotel that would reflect the uniqueness of Georgetown and were not disappointed. The hotel is in a renovated set of historic shops in the middle of wonderful Georgetown with the owners having done a lot to reflect its heritage. Is the hotel perfect, maybe not - our room (Argus Suite) was relatively dark, the bathrooms are not always perfectly designed - but this for me is perfectly acceptable knowing you are staying at a historic location. Do I remember all the typical large chain hotels I stayed at - no. Will I remember the Seven Terraces - yes.
The Boutique Residence Hotel

The Boutique Residence Hotel

3.6/55 Reviews
The location is great. Breakfasts very good. Perfect pool to cool down (cold water, seriously), good choice. For me, the location and the swimming pool (because of my daughter) is ok. I recommend it. But: Zero wardrobes, cupboards etc. We had to keep everything in suitcases and there was not even a towel rack in the bathroom. It is much more important than an extra toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. Besides, calls from a nearby mosque are awakened. These are the details that irritate. And the pillows - high and hard. In addition, the hotel complies with the description and you can safely spend a few nights in it.

Everyone we met extended their stay here (one couple for up to 2 months!), including us from 2 days to a week because; the location is perfect, the rooms are clean, comfortable and affordable, the atmosphere is cosy, the people staying here great, and most importantly,- Howie is the nicest host and person we have met in 12 months travelling. He always offers you a wealth of knowledge alongside food and tea, he even took us on a road trip around Georgetown!! He is a true family man and if you stay here you are a part of the family! Highly recommend, deserves a 10* rating without a doubt. :)
