The accommodation does not have a reception. You have to contact the accommodation via email only. Check-in must be done via the website. It was a bit busy before the check-in. However, the accommodation has a sample clip to watch. It's not that difficult.
The location is in the center of the city, a tourist zone. You can walk anywhere. I recommend it. (If you come with elderly people, I don't recommend it much because the stairs to the room are quite steep and high.)
The twin bed room is bigger than I thought. It's new, clean, and quiet. I slept very comfortably. The only problem is that the air conditioner is very high. The ceiling is also high, so it cools down very slowly.
The accommodation has wifi, towels, and water/snacks. Very good.
At Some Place Else, exceptional service and top-notch amenities create a memorable experience for guests. Complimentary internet access is available in the hostel to ensure you stay connected during your visit.

The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Mural Street and surrounded by incredible street food and attractions.
The hostel itself is clean and well-maintained. The beds were comfortable, and I appreciated the organized co-working space, which made it easy to stay productive during my trip. One of the highlights was the hike they organized to a nearby hill—such a fun and refreshing activity!
I was also fortunate to be there during Christmas Eve, and the hostel hosted an amazing celebration with great food and engaging activities.
This hostel is a perfect choice for solo travelers. The friendly vibe makes it easy to meet new people and form connections.

Clean and the staff is very friendly. However, the walls are not soundproof, so it could get a little bit noisy when people walk around. The value for money is very high regardless.

The hotel is very old located in the center of George Twon closer to seaside. I have booked family room. Space and lay out is ok but 2 issues, 1 the inner parents room has a large empty space by the window (seaview the say but hardly seeing tho) we were puzzled why no pair of sofa chairs with a tea table, what is this space for? Super odd...
2 the connecting door for two rooms doesn't close well, not saying the lock doesn't work, no no, the door can't even able to be fully shut.
Services is almost zero. Don't count on it. All in all besides the location and fact has family room options, I don't have anything else to write home about this hotel. Oh and the sound proof is zero too, not saying between our 2 rooms. I basically had bad sleep whole 4 nights stay cos outside in the hall almost never stopped having doors open/shutting and people loudly talking/walking by noises...
Won't book again.

Check in process very fast. Roadside parking. Room cleanliness is ok, just the sofa has stains. They provide toothbrush and toothpaste but just one set, if you need more can contact and request from the room service. Breakfast is standard with the price. Overall 3 stars for this price. Suitable for travellers, walking distance to all the tourist spots.

There is no reception so after arrival I was loosing time to find out how I can get key and go inside.
Room is without windows, for me it was no enough light.
At first floor there is cooler with clean water so you don't need to buy water all the time
Very Good

Outstanding
GGuest UserModern building styled like the heritage wing however noise from passing traffic until very late at night destroys the ambience. Level 6 sea view breakfast is quite peaceful, staff very attentive and friendly.
Beware the data protection clause at check-in...they want you to sign/accept despite details not being available.
FFiona Yoke PingLoved my stay! We were soooo happy to be upgraded to a room with a view that was sooooo spacious! Stayed there for four nights over nye and had a great view of the fireworks!!
My only complaint would be that there isn’t a Nespresso coffee machine in the room (which is a surprise given that most hotels now offer them) nor do they provide cotton wool (isn’t that also a basic provision?).
Do note that the hotel doesn’t provide complimentary bottled water either, and only tap with filtered water… however I did appreciate them giving out mint water/ pandan bluepea water in the afternoon for guests (wished that it’s all day long!) at the lobby.
GGuest UserReception staff was friendly. We were able to check in early around 10.45am as the Deluxe Suite we booked for 4N was available. Requested late check out was also approved at 12 noon as our flight was late afternoon. View from the top was beautiful & the skybar level was accessible after 6.30pm. There was conplimentary shuttle bus for famous breakfast areas at 8.30am, 9.15am & 10am. We managed to prebook 2 slots for 1 day only to Chowrasta Market. The next day 8.30am time slot was full (12 seats only) so we took Grab instead. Not expensive at RM8 to Kimberly Street. Pillow selection-1 per guest is a nice touch. Had the memory foam pillow for a good night sleep. Some free local snacks from the hotel was a nice gesture. Location of fairly new hotel (year 2022) is excellent. 2 supermarkets nearby (Gama) - the side walk with pretty bougainvilleas is pleasant, Pacific Hypermart at Komtar. Nearby got Japanese restaurant along Magazine Road & also massage places too. Overall, a very enjoyable stay at the hotel. Only negative is noise from traffic so room facing is impt for light sleepers
TTripeonHad a good clean stay at Jen Hotel Penang Georgetown. Location of hotel is great within walking distance from newLane hawker Street and first avenue mall
AAnonymous UserHotel is located conveniently on New Lane where there is a touristy night market (check prices before ordering). The 2 main roads are Dato Karmat and Macallister which makes it convenient and accessible for transportation. The facilities such as gym/ small pool are pretty old but hotel tries to upkeep and maintain as much as possible. I had an issue with very smelly sweaty blanket/ comforter and requested for them to change it and they did. Airconditioning and shower was strong, adequate ammenities were provided and towels were clean. However, beds were slightly uncomfortable as I could feel the spring coils. Carpark is free for guest, just get parking coupons from counter.
JJoLHooiVery Strategic location to have many access to a lot of places by walking distances.
Easy to get to anywhere as its located in the central of the Penang island, lots of good food and local hawkers can be easily access from the hotel location. have great view of the Komtar tower and the city of light, beautiful and stunning.
although its a refurbished building, but it has been very well kept and maintained. Maybe the facility floor of the swimming pool and the bar, might have rooms for improvement. The swimming pool looks very old, despite the taste of infinity pool, doesnt match the 4stars hotel standard, and the bar looks like a local bar with no proper standard.
We shall look into the standard of St Giles is other states or country.
WWee LoonStayed for four nights. They kindly granted me a complimentary room upgrade upon request from a superior room to a deluxe room at 20th floor which has a good sea view - thank you!
My room was new and housekeeping does a great job to keep impeccably clean. They provided free toiletries items like toothbrush, showcap, disposable slippers though I did not use all. There are two bottles of drinking water which are replenished everyday.
Parking is free and “advanced” in the sense that it is automated through a car park lift system which you rarely see elsewhere in this country.
The lobby is at 20th floor, and there is a restaurant at the 21st floor. The swimming pool is at 22th floor with a gym on the same floor too.
Some issues that I encountered or would like to feedback:
1) the holder of the shower head was loose and caused the shower head to push up when water pressure was on and thus not showering the person, and when water was turned off, the shower head dropped to the floor when the water pressure was suddenly gone. Great that they rectified it upon feedback at the reception.
2) the drainage at the washroom basin was not draining well. The facility maintenance could do something about this to improve the experience.
3) I requested for a fruit cutter knife at the reception as I will need to cut some fruits but was rejected, quoting that they do not send cutleries, even though they have a cafe on one floor above, due to “halal” concerns. My question is, then do they allow non Muslims to eat at their cafe since the non Muslims do not have eat all halal food? The reason given is amusing, for such an international hotel brand.
4) they could have done better with their cafe/restaurant with such a great view of the Georgetown - will be happy to see they put in more effort.
Nonetheless, I am happy with my stay. Great location, great room and value for money.
DDixon ThumI recently experienced a stay at Apple Hotel Penang, and it was a journey filled with both positives and drawbacks. Situated in the bustling heart of George Town, the hotel's location stands out as a significant advantage. It's within close proximity to key attractions like Penang Times Square, Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar, and 1st Avenue Penang, making exploration convenient and enjoyable.
The hotel offers free WiFi, but regrettably, the signal strength was notably weak during my visit. This may pose a challenge for guests relying heavily on a stable internet connection. Moreover, the availability of free parking, while a welcome feature, comes with a catch—it's extremely limited. Securing a spot can be a bit of a hassle, particularly during peak times.
In terms of accommodations, the rooms at Apple Hotel Penang provide basic amenities, including a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries. However, the cleanliness fell short of expectations, and the overall condition of the rooms didn't meet the standards for a truly comfortable stay. There were dust webs around little corners. While suitable for a brief visit of one or two nights, an extended stay might not be advisable based on my experience.
On a positive note, the 24-hour front desk service was commendable, ensuring assistance was readily available whenever needed. Additionally, the option to engage in a game of pool added a touch of entertainment to the overall stay.
Summing up my personal experience, Apple Hotel Penang offers a budget-friendly option in an unbeatable location. However, guests should be aware of the limitations in terms of cleanliness, weak WiFi, and limited parking. It's a matter of weighing the pros and cons based on individual priorities and preferences. If you prioritize a clean and comfortable environment, exploring alternative options in the area might be worthwhile.
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.
Aana sarda1. Easy and fast check in
2. Place was very clean and warm welcomed by the staff
3. My room was good. Came with 2 breakfast
4. Breakfast was good. The food was a lot of Choice. Add on for Rm20 per head. Children below 5 years was free.
