Impeccable - the room, the decor, the staff, the lighting and music options, the scented nightly drawn bath, the unexpected details. The only issue I had was 88 Armenian was such a treat to stay at, I didn’t see as much of George Town as I planned as I couldn’t wait to get back to my room! Love, love, loved.

FAQs about hotels in Penang

A Palm-Lined Pearl

An island and part of the mainland make up the small Malaysian region of Penang, also known as the ‘pearl of the Orient’. It has long been coveted and the capital Georgetown has many elegant Colonial buildings. The observation deck of the KOMTAR tower – the tallest building – offers spectacular views of the town and surrounding mountains.

A funicular railway goes up to Penang Hill deep in the forest. Nearby Air Itam has one of Asia’s largest Buddhist temples - Kek Lok Si – lit by hundreds of lights at night. Another fantastic temple is Taoist Kong Hock Keong in Georgetown.

Penang Airport is near southern Bayan Lepas, and across the Malacca Strait is Pulau Jerejak, a peaceful island where trees merge into ocean.

In the much livelier north, Batu Feringghi is the largest resort, with lots of Penang hotels on the beach, plenty of bars and a night market. East, green mountains slope down to blue waters at Tanjung Bungah, where several high-rise hotels overlook the palm-lined beach towards the Floating Mosque just offshore.

On the mainland Butterworth is the departure point for ferries to Penang island, and has a bird park housing a large number of Malaysian species. Wherever you decide to stay, Booking.com has a fantastic range of Penang hotels and apartments to choose from.

I spent my best nights of my entire road trip in Malaysia (16 nights). The breakfast is well stocked with good products. The staff are friendly and very kind. A 5* for the reception staff, who gave me a very warm welcome. A very very good hotel where I enjoyed staying, I would return without hesitation.

Loved our stay. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable especially considering we had our baby with us. The room was spacious, carpeted floor was clean - great for a crawling baby. Breakfast spread was abundant and delicious, their rice porridge and cheese omelette was a big hit with my 9mo. One breakfast staff in particular stood out - Dayang was her name, she was very pleasant and friendly.

Unfortunately, the sea was too rough to swim whilst we were there, we managed to lie on the sand and let the waves wash over us but it was far to dangerous to venture further out. I expect it is beautiful and safer when it is less stormy. The main street has some great places to eat, the place that does roti opposite The Hard Rock Cafe is excellent and there are lots of places to get a massage, we went to one called Paradise (if I remember rightly) which was nice. The night market is also excellent for food, lots of choice and I'd recommend the satay and curries from there.

I stayed one night in Bukit Mertajam and overall, it was a decent short stop. The town has a quiet, local charm and isn’t too busy, which made it quite relaxing. There’s not a whole lot to do, but it’s a good place if you just want to unwind or try some local food—there are definitely some hidden gems when it comes to hawker stalls and small eateries. That said, it’s not really a tourist-heavy spot, so don’t expect major attractions or much nightlife. It’s more of a laid-back, pass-through kind of town. For one night, it was okay and served its purpose as a quick rest point.

Lift service was poor and shared with Cleaner and laundry team. Delayed the whole process of the lift service which takes 20 to 30 minutes each wait. Noisy and the wall too thin. Can hear every movement of the children jumping and their walks running screaming crying till late nights from neighbours. Toilets are dirty and too small. No closet and plates.

recently stayed at this Airbnb, and unfortunately, the experience was not great. The house is located very close to a mosque, and the loud prayers start at 6 AM daily, which is disruptive if you’re planning to sleep in. The house is also much smaller than expected for a double-storey unit. The living room is cramped and not ideal for hosting friends. All the rooms are small, and the kitchen is equally compact, so don’t expect much space here. A major inconvenience is the smart key system, which turns off the electricity when you leave the house. This means you can’t leave any devices charging or keep the air conditioning running while you’re out for lunch or dinner. Plus, there’s no air conditioning in the living room, which makes the space uncomfortable during hot days. Communication was another issue. The owner does not understand English and only speaks Malay, which made communication uncomfortable for me. On top of that, there is a CCTV camera outside the car porch, and the owner won’t allow you to turn off the modem, so it feels like you’re being constantly monitored. I found this quite unsettling. Lastly, the water pressure in the toilet is low, which was an additional disappointment. Overall, this stay was not as expected, and there are better options available for the price.
