"Great location right by the ocean! You can enjoy the sunrise over the water from both the living room and the master bedroom. The property was very clean and had air conditioning units in every room. It looked exactly like the pictures and was very spacious for the three of us. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood, and the building has 24/7 security, so we felt very safe throughout our stay."

"This is a hotel with front desk. There was self serve laundry room and a small supermarket on ground floor (there were also a new Japanese restaurant next door which was good) There was a gym which was almost empty most of the time - but could do with a bit more equipments. There where also a pool. room was clean but quite small. When we were there it was still quite a new hotel building probably need more lift as we felt crowded taking the lift all the time host never get back to us on any...

Top Chinatown Hotel Reviews

OZO George Town Penang

8/10 Good

"Couldn’t ask for a better location! OZO is located in the heart of George Town and it is so close to many restaurants and cafes. 7-11 is just a stone’s throw away; as well as a self service laundromat. The room is kept clean everyday and the staffs are so kind and helpful. Breakfast buffet is definitely worth it- the menu changes all the time so no boring food there. The only thing lacking were the in-room amenities. For a hotel that is rated at least 4 stars, I would have expected it to at least have conditioner and shaver in the toilet. However, everything else makes up for it. Will I stay at OZO again? Absolutely."

The Millen Penang, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful, new hotel with wonderfully helpful staff. Rahul at breakfast and the rest of his team were especially nice. Offering takeaway items without us having to ask which was a nice touch. Location was really good but we loved Penang as a whole anyway. Message wasn't the best but can't fault anything else with the hotel. Nice poolside too, would definitely return."

Yeng Keng Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely heritage-style hotel in the middle of Chulia St. While it's close to all the action, it's also an oasis of calm inside. The pool is small but nice to have (and rare for a heritage hotel). We spent three nights here and on arrival were told that the original room we were booked had been overbooked, but comms via Expedia hadn't come through in advance, so we were downgraded to a Courtyard room, which turned out to be slightly bigger and more comfortable than expected from other reviews. As compensation we were offered the final night in the suite, which was absolutely lovely - I could easily have spent a week in there! Staff were incredibly nice, thoughtful, helpful and kind. Breakfast was so-so - while the buffet was not the most appealing, there were also omelettes made to order, and you're not short of every kind of food option around the neighbourhood anyway."

Seven Terraces Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are very helpful and make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive, especially front desk. Pool area is a very nice place to chill out after a day of exploring. They even serve a lovely afternoon tea snack by the pool. The room was lovely, with so much room to move and great central spot for walking everywhere in George Town."

Mclane Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great stay in this historic property, conveniently located in the heart of the George Town UNESCO district, mere steps away from the nearest phenomenal restaurant. The bathroom was OK, and our towels were a bit musty to begin with (but were replaced upon request). However, the beds were super comfortable. We appreciated the daily bottled water and the breakfasts. The morning staff was wonderfully friendly and helpful with suggestions and offers to call taxis; the afternoon/evening staff a little less so. Be aware that the proximity to the nearby Kapitan Keling Mosque meant for some loud mornings and late evenings. The broadcasts on the minaret's loud speakers went way beyond the typical two-minute call to prayer five times a day. Some hours, it seemed more like the imam was preaching long sermons over the speakers which made sleep sometimes tricky. Overall, we liked this place, and would stay here again."
