3-Star Hotels in Penang, Malaysia

Poor checkout experience - when I checked out the room, I have left one of the keys in the room. Then the staff at the reception told me to “Go get your key”. I was carrying a lot of luggage and forgot to get the key when I checked out because I was always using one key. I understood he might have a long day, but I would also appreciate more politeness from the staff but not such a cold and rude attitude…overall, the service at this place is so so. The staff at the hotel are not so welcoming. The hotel surrounding area is also very noisy. The restaurants nearby often play live music until midnight 12 AM. There are prayers from the mosque every morning at 6 AM for around 5 minutes. So if you are sensitive to sound and have insomnia problems, I won’t recommend this hotel. For the room, I booked a room with twins beds. But the room is so small that they basically put the two beds together without any space in between. In short, if you have more luggage, the room maybe too small for two people. Having said that this hotel is in a good location, and close to the city centre and near all the key shopping areas and restaurants. Price is also reasonable.

Located in the heart of Penang, it is surrounded by local eatery premises within walking distance. Parking spaces are ample even though the hotel shares parking spaces with St. Giles Wembley. For a budget hotel, the hotel definitely delivered more value than the value I paid for. Even though the room is quite small, it is still cool to fit two pax and there is enough space for us to pray. I had an issue with AC in my room, so I called the staff to check it. It didn't take long for the technical staff to come to my room and check on the AC. Overall I had a pleasant stay at this hotel.

This hotel is located near the Bayan Lepas International Airport which is very convenient to air travelers. Parking is easy and close to the building. The plus point of this hotel is the room which is large and spacious. The cafe is easily accessable and the prices are reasonable. You must try their mi goreng sotong......The serving is huge and tasty. Front office staff are helpful and friendly and for the present room rate they are charging, it is worth for a second visit.

Parking was very convenient, they will validate for u and ure able to use in n out multiple times. The location is just right opposite hin bus depot, and behind there is quite a number of famous hawker - presgrave Street. The check in was also seamless. Coway machine outside for unlimited refill. Only thing for me is the vibe when I walk into the lobby, and the vibe of the room. I would say basic and old school, nth less nth more. Ure getting exactly what you paid, goid value. lift lobby security can be better as well so not everyone can go up easily.

Location and breakfast good. Staff good too. Room smells bad, curtains smell like mold, pillows inside are dirty and smell bad. Window lock was broken and they sent maintenance guy who did lousy job and still broken after he left, when I pointed out aircon so dirty he just reached out to the vents with his hand and remove the obvious dust. Also sink is clogged. Not recommended because there are other hotels with good location, breakfast and cleaner.

Stayed here one night in family suites with 2 rooms with my 2 kids, the hotel is not far from Komtar penang. Parking is not an issue even for our MPV, their rotating car park with escalator can move the car into empty slot. Check-in is fast and we stayed at level 19th with nice city and some ocean view. Room is very big with a living room, master room with big washroom and changing cabinet, and another connecting room. Wifi is fast and there are 19 tv channels to choose from. Next morning we went for their gym at level 22, not very big but good enough with 5-6 workout machines. Breakfast is at level 21 buffet styles, choice is just nice, not many but food is ok with reasonable price, only RM21 per pax.

The room is okay but need more kettle and chair since u have tables and the wifi also having connecting issues is dropping off but almost good hotel reception  cleaner and staff very good and clean and also very nice security il be coming back when the rate of hotel is cheaper for solo travellers like me Thanks

The room is clean, location is great to walk or grab places around, staffs are helpful. Only slightly disappointed the swimming pool is small at a hidden corner somewhere in the building, awareness of water cleanliness is needed.

Thanks to the hotel for upgrading our room to a deluxe king room. However, there was some problem with the air-conditioning in this room. The room was very warm. We applied to the receptionist to change rooms, but she arranged housekeeping to clean the air-conditioning net, but the result was still the same. The next day, there was no change. Another Malay receptionist said she would help us change rooms, but she had already gone back when we missed our lunch.

Booked for my family of 7 for one night on 26th Dec. Arrived at 5pm but unfortunately the apartment wasn't ready. We finally managed to check in at 6.30pm and allowed for late checkout at 4pm next day. Due to the pandemic situation, limited numbers of guests can use the pool at one time. Completely understandable. The management created, for my opinion, an irrelevant SOP for the pool. When checking in u need to book time to use the pool. Only 10person per hour. By the time the 10th group checked in, the pool booking already full. When i visited the pool the next morning, the group that booked the pool for the hour didn't show up & the pool left empty because people who didn't managed to book the pool earlier were denied entry & the people who booked did not show up. Should've make First In First Out rule. I did raised my concern twice to the reception & also manager on duty. They said they cannot do anything about the rule. Most of the guests were family with kids, of course all want to enjoy the pool. The pool booking system/SOP was absurd. The apartment was superb though. But the elevators does not make sense. And as an accommodation by the beach, would appreciate if you can provide some kind of facilities so that guests can clean themselves after enjoying the beach so the lobby won't be as messy. Your security guard locked the tap water at the beach entrance. I guess my stay would be much better if it wasn't the long weekend, but you guys can improve. Apartment was excellent, i got the sea view one. Your staff were good & patient.

The room and the bed were comfortable. The bathroom was big. Would be better if there are more hooks or hangers to hang the clothes and towels. The Breakfast spread was simple but good enough for us as the first meal. Service Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel location is within walking distance to popular locations like Campbell Street, Chulia Street Night Market, Armenian Street.

My sis and I went to Penang for a vacay and we randomly picked this place we saw some reviews and didn’t expect anything but it turned out so well. The place is so clean and new and comfy and so impressive , the staff are quite helpful and willing to communicate with foreigners like us. The location is located a bit away from the art street but still walkable and not too busy. Thus I would highly recommend this place to others who may come to Penang ,super love 🥰💕

It was our first time in Penang as a couple, and Citadines Connect Cecile Georgetown was the perfect choice to explore the city. The location is ideal, and the atmosphere of the hotel is both modern and welcoming. We particularly enjoyed the well-equipped gym and the outdoor pool, which was a great way to relax after a day of sightseeing. Another big plus: the barista counter that’s open 24/7, with free coffee available. It really helped us kickstart our mornings… and wind down our evenings! The staff was also very friendly and attentive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel for couples or anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Penang. We’ll definitely be back!

Just stay here for a night but everything is top notch. Near Penang airport too. Got free upgrade to family suite room for free. Location is perfect, near to many eateries, 24H nasi kandar restaurant ( delicious but quite pricey) and got free parking if check in before 8pm. Will repeat for sure next time

I love budget hotels... Been to lots of them and I know the expectation when staying at this kind of accommodation. Cheap, basic amenities, no frills concept. However Hotel Seri Malaysia Pulau Pinang just set a new standards of how a hotel should not be. I've stayed with them a couple of years ago and I know how bad their services are, but after several years maybe they might consider improving at least a little, but they prove me wrong. Check in 2 days ago, and the impression is not good. Complaints from the customers at the counter (hot water, cleanliness, etc). I thought maybe he was because bg fussy. I've got the 3rd floor room which is not a problem without lift. The room is ok but the air-conditioning is unreliable. The temperature control doesn't really works. The breakfast buffet nothing special with limited spread. I saw few tourists who bring in their own food. Don't know why but I assumed the choices of F&B is not enough for them. And the seating are so limited. I know that it is School holiday session but when the customers standinh for 10 minutes with food on their hand and no one even give a damn, then it is intolerable. I do ask for a container for me to take away the food, but as if they care. So.. Seri Malaysia hotel... If you do read this review, good, please do something for the sake of your own good. For me, no more Seri Malaysia ever. To be honest I'm ashamed they have Malaysia in their brand. Change to other name please

I paid this hotel a visit to see at first time a traditional Malay Hotel. I was not disappointed. The entrance foyer have a number of old artefacts including very old fishing boats. There is a famous restaurant entrance via Moroccan Style windows. Nearby a must to visit is the charming Sam Poh Footprint Temple.

This accommodation is located right in front of Nasi Kandar Penang Kayu which opens 24 hours. Queensbay mall is nearby and only takes around 15 mins to the airport (subject to traffic) so as we only stayed 1 night to catch an early flight, it was convenient - location wise. No wifi provided though. Really have table tennis/ping pong table, dart games and movie (we didnt watch any) as seen on the pictures. The building is a bit outdated though. The tenant contacted us directly via Whatsapp and the explanation about the facility was very very clear and helpful.

No television in the room. Bathroom/ toilet quite small. There's a gap on the bathroom door (u can see thru the gap). During day time, there's noise coming from construction site nearby. It's near to the airport, but our visited places mostly very far from the hotel (example: batu feringghi, batu maung, komtar etc.)

HIGHLY recommended hotel for cleanliness, location and value for money. The bed and pillows are so comfortable! The best part of the hotel is their staff. Look for Mr Zaid. He is a gracious and wonderful host! I arrived to have a look at the rooms a week before check in and Mr Zaid graciously showed us a few rooms. On the day of check in, my friend’s credit card was declined but Mr Zaid allowed us to check in anyway and said we could pay later. Unbelievable!! He even offered us free parking throughout our stay! Always smiling and really just a pleasant person to meet! When we came back after dinner, we realized the room didn’t have bedroom slippers. I went to front desk to ask and the gentleman there apologized because they have ran out of supplies. However, he didn’t stop there. Instead, he went to look for unoccupied room by room to see if there were any extras. Really above and beyond expectations of a 3-Star hotel. For RM100+ per night, you’ll get a tastefully decorated hotel room with full hotel amenities like TV, toothbrushes, bottled water, coffee, hair dryer. Hot and cold water dispenser, iron and ironing board are available in the common area. At Eureka, you will get the warmth of a homestay and the feel of a hotel. I would totally recommend this hotel to all my friends! Thank you Mr Zaid and team!

The route to the hotel is a bit strange, but overall it looks good. But check the accommodation before coming.

What I like: 1. Bed - so comfortable. The mattress is not hard, even expensive hotel doesn't have this kind of comfort 2. Location - 2 minutes walking distance to Queensbay. There are lots of cafe downstairs. 3. Price - not too expensive What I hate: 1. Soundproofing - I read other reviews said the soundproofing is bad but I don't believe it. I don't think it's too bad. But actually it is really bad. You can hear people talking, like they're in your room! So don't have hardcore sex with ur partner haha 2. I don't get the same setup like in the pictures. I get the bathroom besides the bed, totally different with pictures 3. Can't sleep even the bed is so good Note to others : 1. I don't get any toiletries 2. Parking will be fulled except at night and you need to pay parking fee. 50sen per 30 minutes

The breakfast was good, the fried chicken was very delicious, the curry with nasi lemak was great, but there were not many kinds of vegetables and fruits. The parking lot is free, but there are not many cars, the service is very good, check in and check out have parking handles to help carry your luggage and then take you from the room to your parking location. Without TV, the telephone signal and network signal are not very good. The forest is here to cut off from the world.
