[2025 George Town Stay] Travel Guide for Sunway Hotel Georgetown Penang (Updated Mar)

Took a trip to Penang a few months back and really glad to have stumbled upon this hotel on Trip.com. Sunway Hotel Georgetown is located along New Lane that is famous for setting up roadside food stalls. So you’ll never run out of dinner options when you’re on your way back to the hotel. This location is also extremely central for taking Grab taxi’s everywhere. From Batu Ferringhi to Penang Hill, to even Gurney area. All took about the same time to reach from here. Moreover, if you’re not a fan of taking taxi, there are tons of places to explore on foot as well. We walked to the Cultural areas with all the murals from here and even Chulia Street. The bed was really comfy for a stiff mattress. Amenities were alright. Toilet wasn’t the cleanest but it provided everything that you’d need on a trip to Penang. Overall the only thing i’d minus a point from this place is the cleanliness. #penang #tripblazers #hotel

Price was relatively affordable too and the location of the hotel is simply awesome! Five Lanes Hawker center is located just a stone throw away from the hotel and the food are just so delicious! It is a perfect place for a vacation and to take a good relax from our hectic and busy lifestyle in Singapore. The hotel even provides free shuttle services to some of the famous landmarks within Penang Island! Highly recommended and I have truly enjoyed myself a lot during my short trip in Penang.

#bucketlistreboot This hotel above my expectation. I had a swift check in experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful. One thing that i really impressed was the hotel really looked into the request that i have stated during my booking and also responded fast. I've been facing many other hotels just ignore the special requests for the booking. Good location with many hawker stalls just walk down the street. And Ban Heang biscuits just right opposite the hotel, which is very convenience to buy souvenirs. The room is clean and spacious. The bathroom a bit small though but it is clean. The air conditioner worked very well and cold. Limited TV channels but still acceptable. The shower pressure a bit low and the water will suddenly getting cold or too hot. It would be great if the pressure higher and with stable temperature. Probably the hotel should have a nice dining restaurant. It seems wasted leaving the place empty. Car park easy to access and feel safe, because i saw there are security guards at the car park checking around. Will come back again

1.their swimming pool there is like jacuzzi and normal pool. note: jacuzzi u need to switch on yourself before you enter. 2. The room there is like three side of mirror in the bathroom girls would love it. 3. air-conditioning was cold enough the bed was king size was super comfortable! 4. nearby the hotel there is a lane called New lane is kinda like street food, night time there is alot of good food 🤤 5. the lobby service was great help with luggage around 6. able to do self check-in /out yourself if the counter too many people. don't worried about the wifi , the wifi connection was 👍🏻 note : 25min from Penang airport Avg. Price per Person - $60-70 SGD Rating - 4.5/5

Sunway Hotel George Town Phenang , Newtown, Penang This hotel in New Lane is close to the Everbright Building and Penang Times Square, just ten minutes walk. Overall, the Sunway Group hotels are just fine, and this is no exception. The standard rooms are not large, the layout of the rooms is compact, but the room partitions are relatively scientific, and the facilities are also very complete. The simple and stylish personal decoration style of the rooms is very personal, and the meeting and lounge areas of the executive rooms are separated. The rooms are individually air conditioned and have greater controllability and wind power than the central air conditioning used in general hotels, and are also suitable for the tropical climate of Penang. The twin beds in the standard rooms are 1.2 meters wide, the deluxe king size bed is 1.8 meters wide, and the average room size is 28-30 square meters. The size and room size of this bed are quite satisfactory. The quality of bedding, bathroom, spare parts and mini bar drinks in the rooms are good. The power sockets are all national standards, and the quality of the matching furniture is also very good. Although the bathroom is small in size, the bathtub does not shrink accordingly, but remains in normal size. From the safety point of view of the hotel, the windows of the room can only be partially opened, but the ventilation and natural light are no problem, and the cleaning work of the room is also done more thoroughly. The swimming pool, gym, multi-purpose hall, etc. are also available. Guests staying in the 16-story suite can enjoy the food, leisure, entertainment and business facilities of the Executive Gallery on the 14th floor. They can enjoy the quiet view at night. The night view of the city is also a pleasure. The location of the hotel, in addition to the commercial shopping center, the biggest advantage is close to the middle of the "food street", there are many restaurants during the day and night, and the night market in the night is gathered in Penang. Authentic cuisine. Several times in and out of the hotel in three days, the service staff reported a natural and gentle smile, the hotel's occupancy rate is quite high, the front desk is full every day when breakfast is served, met tourists from Europe, America and China, of course, Malaysian locals There are also many. I also chatted with a group of Chinese who came from Kuala Lumpur to play. They were so enthusiastic that they took me to eat authentic food. When I can't brush the room card by the elevator, or go out of the hotel lobby without an umbrella, there will always be a hand to take the initiative to swipe the card, there will be an umbrella in front of you, in fact, there is nothing, this is just a hotel The daily service, but for me, I feel only warm. The hotel offers authentic Nyonya dishes. Asian ginseng and sassafras are mixed with southern ginger, lemongrass, red onion, pepper, sassafras, bala, tamarind and ginseng fruit. The coconut milk rice is a combination of rice, coconut milk and eggs. Cucumber, peanuts, larvae, sesame, and Chaozhou frying, although the coconut milk is sprinkled with brown sugar on the shaved ice, the mung bean fans with soda water still make the whole dessert full of the strange taste of sweet and salty mix. If you don't adapt, it's better to come to the bowl of red bean ice. The hotel also supplies fried clams and satay. The wide strips are mixed with shrimp, eggs, sausage, mung bean sprouts, fish cakes, leeks, and soy sauce and oil-consuming frying, which is the unique taste of Penang. There is a kebab there, and a layer of thick peanut butter, coconut sauce, jujube and other prepared satay sauce has another flavor.

📍 Itinerary Overview 🚩 Sightseeing Route 🏖️ Must-Visit Attractions 🚇 Transportation 📷 Photo Spots 🍜 Local Cuisine 🏠 Accommodation 1.Sunway Hotel Georgetown Penang 💡 Tips

As I grew up, I always felt that the school atmosphere was getting stronger and the Spring Festival atmosphere was getting weaker. I didn’t expect to find the childhood atmosphere in Penang. I sighed that the time here seemed to be frozen in the past. I was looking for an old dream in Southeast Asia. The Chinese who crossed the ocean still retained the Chinese tradition in Penang. Those quaint and exquisite ancestral hall buildings, the high-hanging red lanterns, and the small boats drifting on the sea have endless old stories. Penang is very suitable for those who are traveling abroad for the first time. In addition, if you are from the Chaoshan area in southern Fujian, the cultural atmosphere here will make you feel more familiar. 💁‍♀️Recommend several free ticket must-visit attractions: Georgetown Art Street, also known as Mural Street 💡💡Recommendation reason: The streets and alleys are full of colorful murals, each of which tells the story of Penang. Time seems to have stopped in the past, with big red lanterns, worn-out bicycles and tricycles, and you can also browse snacks and souvenir shops on the street. Surname Bridge 💡💡Reason for recommendation: In the past, when the Chinese came to Penang, they made a living by the sea, built bridge boards, and constructed houses. People with the same surname lived on the same bridge, so it was called the Surname Bridge. Walking on the creaking bridge planks, passing by the houses living on the water, every household has a shrine, retaining the custom of worshiping gods just like in the Chaoshan area in southern Fujian. You can sit at the end of the bridge and enjoy the sea breeze. Opening hours: 9:00-21:00 Batu Ferringhi Beach, also known as Batu Ferringhi Beach🏝️ 💡💡Recommendation reason: Watching the sunset in the evening, accompanied by the cool sea breeze and the surging white waves, is very photogenic. There are restaurants next to the beach where you can eat seafood, watch the torch show, and feel the leisurely atmosphere of the seaside. 🍝Food recommendations: There are night markets in George Town or near the seaside, and you can hardly go wrong with the food. Fried crabs, nasi lemak, bak kut teh, fried kway teow, laksa, durian, etc. are all available here. Don’t miss it! 🏨Accommodation recommendation: In George Town, I stayed at the Sunway Georgetown Hotel Penang, which has an outdoor swimming pool and has a high overall cost-effectiveness. I stayed at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang near Batu Ferringhi Beach. Although it didn’t have a first-line sea view, I could see the sea view from the room and the overall price/performance ratio was good.

The building in the image is a historical or colonial-style structure with white walls, intricate architectural detailing, and a prominent triangular roof design. The signage on the front identifies it as a McDonald’s restaurant, specifically at “Birch House,” with the year 1908 displayed, indicating that the building has historical significance. The McDonald’s branding blends into the building’s classic aesthetic while retaining its modern function, including a drive-thru, as seen on the signage. The surrounding area includes a well-maintained road, some greenery, and nearby modern structures, creating a contrast between the historical architecture and the urban setting.

Visiting Penang for the first time, the large Chinese community makes it feel like being back in Fujian or Guangdong in China. Due to a spontaneous trip, I stayed for just one night at the Sunway Hotel Georgetown Penang, located near George Town. This hotel has been around for nearly 30 years and is comparable to a four-star hotel by domestic standards. Despite its age, the hotel's facilities are robust, rivaling those of newer hotels. The service is excellent, with concierge service available as soon as you step out of the car, and staff in the lobby ready to assist. The self-check-in process is convenient with two kiosks at the entrance, and you can check in directly if you booked online. A room tax of a few Malaysian Ringgit is required, payable via Alipay, though WeChat is not accepted. The facilities are complete and clean, with tidy corridors and rooms. The bathroom is equipped with basic toiletries, and the room is spacious with all necessary amenities. The mini-bar is a pleasant surprise, offering basic drinks like coffee and tea, and there's a small fridge under the bar. The luggage area is thoughtfully arranged to avoid clutter. The hotel offers a wide city view, providing a quiet night and a relaxing morning view of the cityscape and distant tropical rainforest. Besides the room amenities, the hotel also features an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness center. The restaurant offers a variety of delicious meals, although I missed breakfast, the dining service is available. The lobby has a guest lounge area, and across from it is a café. To the left of the hotel is a night market street offering Fujian and Guangdong snacks, perfect for dinner. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of attractions like George Town Art Street, Love Lane, and Penang Night Market. Other popular spots like Penang Hill are less than a ten-minute drive away, and the Penang International Airport is about a 10-20 minute drive without traffic. This hotel is a top choice for its high cost-effectiveness, offering safety in a bustling area with convenient dining and transportation. Despite being near the night market, the rooms are quiet, ensuring a restful sleep. Overall, it's a great value choice. Lastly, I shared my travel essentials in the last picture, perfect for those with mild cleanliness concerns, as I traveled light for a one-night stay. #PenangHotels #FamilyFriendlyHotels #Malaysia #GeorgeTown #ResortHotels

#starmataicityhotel Penang Accommodation Guide | The average person over 100 lives in a hotel in the city center! Coming back from Penang, I stayed in this hotel for only NT$100+ per person. There is also a free shuttle bus to attractions in the city center, which is super convenient! 💖️Sunway Hotel Georgetown💖️ Sunway Hotel Georgetown Penang Recommended points are as follows  It is right in the center of George Town. Most of Penang’s check-in points are in George Town. It is very close to all the check-in points. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to Penang’s tallest Komtar. It is only more than one kilometer away from the Surname Bridge Mural Street. Most of the attractions are within 10RM, and going to the airport only costs 18RM~ The hotel has a free shuttle bus Figure 5-6 is the pick-up and drop-off table. This shuttle bus can take you to most of the check-in attractions for free! Mural Street City Hall, Komtar and Sleeping Buddha Fort Cornwallis, as well as Penang’s largest shopping mall Gurney Plaza and the Gurney Night Market next door, all are sent to you for free~ There is a Chinese lady at the front desk of the hotel It doesn't matter if your English is not good. The lady at the hotel front desk speaks very good Chinese and has a very good service attitude. Originally, I was still thinking about my English, but the lady immediately spoke to me in Chinese. Can I check in or book a shuttle bus to ask questions, etc.? Chinese is still very convenient! There is a night market downstairs from the hotel and it is quiet. There is a night market downstairs, with fried noodles, seafood, cendol and more, and they are super cheap. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to eat at the food stalls. Bak Kut Teh and durian shops, as well as must-buy souvenirs, Wan Xiang Cake, are all available downstairs. There is also a large department store supermarket GAMA and McDonald's 71 within a 5-minute walk. You can get everything you want by going downstairs. The soundproofing of the hotel is very good. I only live on the 3rd floor, but I can't hear the sound from downstairs at all. High value for money, comfortable + good service I went with 3 adults and booked a family room. The room has two beds, a large double bed and a single bed. It only costs over 500 yuan and includes breakfast for 3 people. The average per person is only over 100 yuan. See the website According to the introduction, it is the number one high-end hotel in Penang. I even saw the award when I went to the hotel lobby~ The bed is large, the hygiene is good, and the equipment is ok. The hotel's sockets support many types of plugs and there is no need to bring a conversion plug. There are four or five cans of drinks in the refrigerator in the room, as well as coffee, tea bags and drinking water. You can drink them all for free without charge. After you drink the Coke in the refrigerator every day, you will continue to get new ones the next day ~ and breakfast is served every day. It's very rich, with both Chinese and Western dishes, and freshly made windows. #hotel with high cost performance #penang

Sunway Hotel Georgetown located only 1.7 km from Pinang Peranakan Mansion and within walking distance to Times Square mall. The hotel is located at near the touristic spots in Penang. The service is good and staff are friendly specially during the checkin and checkout. we asked for a room facing the Komtar view, the hotel arranged room for us did not meet our requirements. The room was clean and tidy. #infinitypool #malaysia #penang #georgetown

We stayed over at Sunway Hotel at George Town in June 2023. The hotel was clean and staff was friendly. Great location as there is a huge night street food bizarre just outside the hotel main entrance. I think it happen every single night and the food there was reasonable and nice. There is alot of eating place / coffeeshop near this hotel and also a nearby 24 hour minimart. Worth staying and we will be back soon! 😄😄😄

Sunway Hotel Georgetown always the best choice. Good location. This hotel locate at strategic location, downstairs itself already many local foods.

location is good very convenient, price is good but only the pillows and mattress is not so comfortable

Recommended hotel..👍🏻 near and easy to find food.. can even walk to McDonald's if you are starving at night. the room is all good and comfy. mine have connecting door to other room bcs we book 2 room so they change us to connecting room. the breakfast is just average.. not so tasty and not so many option..

Had a wonderful stay here with my family. The price per night is pretty competitive along with the strategic location of this Hotel, right in City Centre. The facilities of the hotel is just mediocre. The hotel comes with a small children's pool and a basic gymnasium for the guest to sweat out. Overall, for the price that we paid, it is definitely worth a budget stay.

Stay one night here, the view was great. Room size is big, so comfortable and carpet all around the room. The toilet wise is great. Size wise is good too. However the water pressure is not strong enough and the toilet dryer is not working. Other than that, the toilet is clean and good.
