They did a fantastic job of restoring the Blue Mansion. The entire property is gorgeous. Our room was clean and spacious with a comfortable King bed, and well appointed period furnishings. It felt so special to be in such a historic place and the staff were friendly and helpful. They served breakfast in the courtyard with made to order offerings (the pancake with salted coconut and burnt sugar sauce was excellent). We also loved listening to the guzheng performance in the courtyard during the evening. The only regret was we managed to only book one night(it was fully booked).

I returned to the E&O as a guest after 10 years. My room was in the Heritage wing which was quieter than the new Victoria annex that was bustling with tourists. The room was spacious and the bed very comfy. The view from the pool on the 6th floor of the Victoria annex is spectacular. Breakfast in the Sarkies restaurant was abundant with a good selection of food. Over the weekend it can however become crowded and noisy due to the many families with kids. E&O’s location is very convenient as it is just a couple of minutes away from the Blue Mansion and the UNESCO Heritage area of George Town. I regretted that I could stay for only two nights.

We were a family of four travelling on a road trip from Johor and Penang was our last stop. We were pleasantly surprised by the ease of checking-in and the room! The size of our room was huge! Two king size beds and there was a sofa bed to relax. The bathroom was big, there was a mirror light in the bathroom mirror, and the shower area was also big enough to turn around. The amenities included were also great. There was a huge tv for my dad to watch news everyday. There was a long study/work table with desk lamp for anyone travelling for work. Overall, it was a great satisfactory experience.

Nam Keng Hotel was exceptional in the following areas for my recent solo stay: 1) room was big and comfortable and well equipped with the necessary amenities 2) the front desk staff, Ms Priya and Mr Tharan were always on hand to make sure my stay was comfortable. I managed to follow some of Mr Tharan’s excellent recommendations on where to eat in Georgetown. 3) Location was within walking distance to all the good food in Georgetown.

Clove 1+2 provided ample, comfortable spaces for our party of three. The decor in the common area was incredibly cute. Every time we walked through, I found another interesting thing to look at. The location is within walking distance to all that Georgetown offers, though it still feels tucked away. The staff were professional and kind, making sure we had everything we needed. We loved it so much, we came back and booked an extra night after staying at another hotel.

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.

If you visit Malaysia, George Town Penang is a must on your list. From Heritage Buildings to Nature to Great Food to Beaches and more. Do visit Artlane and Mano Plus for gifts and experiences, China House for their cakes and drinks, Ome Spacebar for real coffee lovers, Aayu Homes for heritage building living. Do sign up for workshops at Aayu Homes. Last but not least, make sure you have a full weekend there to visit hin Pop Up Market. Check out their instagram!

Loved the pool table at the lobby lounge!

Loved the pool table at the lobby lounge! (Needed to pay for it though). The mocktails were not really good, besides the parkroyal punch. Clean pool with cool slides. Very big and spacious beds which can probably fit 4-5 people! Nothing wrong with the hotel besides the mocktails, maybe. The beach was a little disappointing (polluted). We could see black oil bottles flowing in the water with their lids off, which wasn't very pleasant. But the water sports were fun.

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.

Nice place and convenient to travel around. Closer to town, jetty so easy to get to other areas. I think it's best to stay here. You can try Nasi Kandar, Cendol and char koay teow near Chowrasta Bazaar. Vist the Upside Down museum. Can drive to Genting food court in Island Glades. From there driving to Penang Hill, jetty, Padang Kota , Kek Lok Si temple, big Thaneer malai temple and Pulau Tikus is easy..

I like it because it is away from the traffic of Georgetown on the one side and from touristic Batu Ferringhi on the other. A handful of decent restaurants supplement the many informal local huts, giving all levels of cost and quality for variable dining. All the local folk are courteous and kindly, though English is universally poor to incomprehensible. Excellent modern buses connect with Georgetown etc. on a frequent, low-cost service. Car hire is not expensive and a liberating device for island discovery. Pop-up Fruit stalls abound for an exotic breakfast in your hotel room or on the beach. Meridien Hotel has the cleanest beach!

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.
