Loop on Leith George Town Penang Hotel

Perfect location. would highly recommend to take the rooms that includes breakfast. in the middle the popular places in Penang, just walking distance. Live like the local☺️. i enjoyed our stay here as we are able to go to many places and popular restaurants and cafe by walk.

The hotel is good and well located place with all the essentials. The property is very clean and well-maintained. Breakfast is simple and basic.

honest review from a budget conscious traveller: no frills hotel in superb location with helpful staff at a reasonable price point. I stayed in a magenta room for 4 nights with no big issues. the room is not big for 2 persons, but sufficient for rest every night, and to open 2 cabin sized lugagge comfortably. the toilet is spacious enough as well. cleanliness could be improved. the shower area could do with deeper cleaning in the corners, and the sheets some tiny stains (negligible though). the sofa also has some stains. if you are particular about cleanliness, perhaps looks elsewhere. the bed is reasonably comfortable, pillows are on the softer side. there is one bedside table with the telephone on it, and another small table that can be used at the sofa or at the bed. if you want more spacious table, the lobby has many tables you can use. windowsill seats are also available with charging outlets, making for a good workspace if you need. toiletries were refilled everyday, as basic as amenities go. the towels were on the thinner side and there were no hand towels so take note, if you want to bring a small disposable one for your stay. hotel staff was easy to talk to and ready to help whenever I asked. one time, I ordered grabfood in a hurry and forgot to ask for cutlery. thankfully, the front desk staff found some disposable spoons for me. genuine lifesaver. however, on one of the days, we wanted to rest in the afternoon and asked for our room to be cleaned earlier. the hotel seems to be understaffed and cleaning takes some time. we called at 3pm and was told the staff will come clean our room. there was no sign of anyone even until 4pm, at which point we called in again to remind them of our request. it took 30 more minutes and 2 more reminders, one of which was in person at the front desk, before the cleaning lady showed up around 430pm (after 4 calls). at this point, we were going out shortly after, and we felt robbed of afternoon rest. take note of this if you will be bothered by the cleaning time. we did come back on one day to see the cleaning staff in our aisle close to 6pm! it is likely they are understaffed. we also did not get an extra toilet roll on the last day, which was unnecessary effort to ensure we would have sufficient toilet paper until checkout, since we were exhausted from a day of exploring and did not want to go and ask for toilet paper. this incident aside, we had an alright stay and would recommend this place to budget conscious travellers who are looking for a value stay. the location is really unbeatable, being walking distance to most places under 15minutes. with so much food to eat in penang, a post meal walk back to the hotel is always welcome other notes: there is a self service laundry just next to the hotel, and a 24h convenience store just across the street. 7 eleven is around 5min walk away. atm that accepts internationals cards are available if you want to withdraw money, but these do charge a fee. fee free atm would be farther away. the hotel is also next to a mosque so we can hear prayers now and then, and early on Friday.

- good service - it near night market - the rooms is small, but it hava many plug

We decided to stay at this very unique hotel based on all the great reviews. And we were not disappointed. This hotel is central to so many gorgeous attractions. And even though we had originally wanted to rent one of the many city bicycles available from stations in and around Georgetown, we decided to walk instead, because the heavy traffic and construction worried us. There's just so much to see and do that we became easily overwhelmed. Again, The Loop on Leith is an excellent location that walking around and seeing the sights ends up working out very well, especially when you're avid photographers like we are. I loved the modern decor of our room with its hip and trendy vibes. A rather small room but still very functional. The bathroom is excellent with hot water and very good shower pressure. And our included breakfast buffet was delicious, although I wish there had been a little more variety. And the cooks and staff were very professional and very attentive, always making sure the buffet counter was replenished. Much of the time the breakfast buffet was quite busy. After all, this is a very busy hotel and for good reason. But still, we would easily return here to stay for a few nights. We also enjoyed the Netflix in our room and the beds were very comfortable. Excellent mini fridge and even a little sofa. And we even had a fantastic view of the city. But sometimes it can get noisy, mostly from activity from other guests. Thankfully, I always travel with ear plugs. An incredible little hotel, surrounded by so many top-notch gourmet restaurants too. The hotel has gorgeous decor and awesome personality. This is the place to stay in the heart of Georgetown.

The hotel has a good location. The room is medium-sized, decent enough to stay in. The bathroom amenities are nice — the shampoo and shower gel smell good and seem to be of good quality. However, there’s no toothbrush provided, and only one thin, old towel that’s been used for quite some time, though it was clean enough. I’d deduct points for cleanliness, as it seems they only clean the frequently used areas such as the bed, table, and floor. The shelves and drawers still had dust, and the bedside table was also dusty. In my room, the sofa had a very strong unpleasant smell, like old urine, with visible stains — I didn’t dare to use it. There was also a strange smell in the room, not quite like perfume, and it took a while for my nose to get used to it. Overall, it’s acceptable for a short stay, but there’s definitely room for improvement.
