The room is looks great with a large super king size bed with 4 solid pillows. Well equipped with fridge, pantry with kettle, coffee and tea. Work table and chair. Luggage compartment. Wardrode, safe box and ironing board with compartment.
Bathroom is equally well equipped with dual showers, shampoos, hair dryer, two large and small towels, toothbrush and others. A very rare retractable and robust bidet is provided.
Although the room is classified as no windows but I consider it with windows but facing air wells along the corridor. The view is pleasent.
The Toshiba elevators are impressive and smooth running.
I consider the Forum Hotel qualified at least 3 star to 3.5 star.

Hotel 19 was great. Very clean, friendly staff, 5 minutes walk from Little India, directly over the road from local buses which will take you all over the island.
Some reviewers have complained about the traffic noise, but it didn't bother me in the slightest.
Would stay here again.

I recently enjoyed a three-night stay at the Sleep Box Hotel, and I had a lovely experience! The room was cozy, and the bed was super comfortable. It came with an air conditioning unit, a TV, a chair, a small table, and hangers for my clothes. Plus, I appreciated having two towels and two bathroom bags for my personal items.
The bathrooms are located at the end of the corridor—there’s a blue one for men and a pink one for women. Just a heads up: you’ll need to pass through the blue area to get to the pink one. The showers even have a changing area, and they provide shampoo and body wash, which is a nice touch!
I also found washing machines in the bathroom areas, which was really convenient. And if you need to grab a snack or a drink, there’s a microwave, a water dispenser, and a fridge for guests to use. Overall, it was a great stay!

The place is really nice and convenient. You can access to pretty much everywhere from here by foot. However, there is no fridge nor a hairdryer in the room. But it’s not a big problem for me. Overall is good.

This is a really good hotel. They provide afternoon tea. If you don't have it, they will send it to your room. The room is very stylish. The water quality here is also very good! The price is a little bit higher, but it is really worth it. The location is also very good. It is very convenient to go to nearby attractions and shopping districts.

Everything was ok and nice. The room was not too small, toilet was clean. Near to many eating places yet the hotel was among the quiet place.
Staffs were helpful. There was drinking water dispenser/ iron at the common area. There are parking lots.

CClayNorthNot my first time staying at The Frame Guesthouse, and I think I will make a tradition out of it each time I visit Penang. Location is ideal as it’s close to the street art, street food, jetties and more. Staff are all super friendly and very helpful. As a solo backpacker I also found it very convenient and met a lot of cool people. I would happily recommend them to anyone coming to Penang!
RRogeliza LabongrayMy recent stay at Swing & Pillows @ Muntri was absolutely exceptional! From the moment I arrived, the warm welcome and smooth check-in process set the tone for a fantastic experience. The hotel perfectly reflects the charm of Penang with its excellent ambiance, beautifully maintained facilities, and cozy atmosphere. The room was immaculate, providing the ideal blend of comfort and cleanliness. I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail in every corner, making my stay feel incredibly homely. The shared bathroom facilities were spotless, and the free Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, which was a great convenience. The location couldn’t have been better—situated in the heart of Georgetown, I was able to explore nearby attractions with ease. The overall quiet and peaceful environment of the hotel offered a restful retreat after my busy days of sightseeing.
Ffarahin nazisuperb. tiptop service 100/10. when it rains, he waits for us in front of the car door while holding an umbrella for us. i likee 🫰🏻 receptionist is friendly 👍🏻
GGuest User(+) Location was good, away from the crowds yet walkable distance to main sights. Bus stop for the free CAT buses is just behind. Easy self check in. Room was nice - comfortable beds & pillows, toiletries and towels provided, there's a lift, and the water dispenser on the ground floor was a bonus. Toilet was clean, shower and drainage good.
(-) There were ants in the room. Walls / windows are not sound proof - could hear conversations next door very clearly and rubbish truck comes at 11pm every night so your sleep will be disturbed. Aircon was leaking but thankfully still working. Fan and TV werent working, but not a big issue.
KKhairulA comfortable hotel with a unique design, an attractive atmosphere, a few walks away from attractions, and good service. However, the location of the hotel is very close to the hustle and bustle of the road, and the hotel floor is made of wood, which makes the comfort of the room a little disturbed by the rather loud noise. Maybe this hotel is not suitable for people who are light sleepers, but it is a very good hotel for others, besides the relatively cheap price. Thumbs up.
BBellaLovely hotel..the view is city view..
I had a triplet room,which is spacious for me and my family..but the parking is limited..overall a nice hotel we enjoyed to stay here..
JJustin07I can say this is a classic hotel, although the building quite old but the room was good, toilet was good. Air cond was cold perfect. WiFi excellent even I stay on 8 floor still connect well, they gave me the room can see the mountain and sea perfect view for me. Price was affordable for everyone I can say, locate was near the bar, restaurant, pasar, sea view as well.
Didn't expect the room like this 👌
YYusuf UsmanovStaff were helpful and friendly, and the lobby was neat and was inviting.
Room was spacious for one guest, and the AC was in perfect condition.
The door was a bit difficult to master.
The shared shower and toilet was not clean.
The toilet bowl and shower was in the same space, and one sink was constantly leaking. Not too happy about that, though considering the price it is understandable. Located in walking distance of the ferry port and close to the Armenian street. Closest ATM is located in that street.
In overall, I think this place is worth the money, and the friends I made during my one night stay made this stay worth it.
GGuest UserOur Aircon was not working, so happily we were moved to another room, we did not get to return to the room we paid for.
The room was advertised as Smoking Permitted but on arrival this was not the case and had not been for 4 years. We paid a high price for this room, and I had located 4 other Hotels, this was disappointing.
The staff and Manager were very helpful and ordered Taxi's for us this was appreciated.
Breakfast was supplied by a Restaurant down the road and not at the Hotel, there was a disparity between what we paid for breakfast at the Hotel and the Cost at the Restaurant.
There was quite a bit of Traffic Noise.
We enjoyed our stay, but not Penang due to social rules, for tourists on holiday.
