Our first trip to Penang using the excuse of a friend's wedding. We opted to stay @ Traders because of the Brand recognition and it did not disappoint. Big bonus is the connection with Golden Sands Hotel on the beach. and the free shuttle bus which we used and enjoyed. Disappointed with har dresser facilities where my wife felt high... More

The only thing that was disappointing was the DISHONESTY of the hotel housekeeping staff - left iPhone charger and multi plug in the room upon check-out. First call to hotel within the hour we left the hotel - lost and found department was NOT helpful at all. 3 follow up calls to the lost and found department was no avail.... More

This hotel is located in Georgetown. There are places to eat about 10 minutes away. There is a free bus that goes around town located 1 minute via walking. Upon entering the hotel, the staff greeted us. They suggested we should upgrade to club status. It was worth it for a small amount of $ per night which includes daily... More

Probably the best value for money hotel in Penang. Not situated in the posh Gurney drive drag, but tucked in close to Little India and Chinatown, a great base for discovering the less touristy parts on foot, and being next door to Komtar, (with the main bus station in Penang), great for exploring the whole island. Friendly, smiling and very... More

Excellent and welcoming staff at the receipton. Comfortable, Cosy and quite rooms. Hotel location is right next to a shopping mall. Stayed there for two night with family and would stay there again if i visit Penang.

The room and views from the 16th floor were great, as we were sea facing and could see the Penang Bridge from the vantage point. The formula for Shangrila and... More

We spent a night at Traders Penang @ the executive suite with lounge access. The executive suite consists of two "inter-connected" deluxe rooms, one as the bedroom and another one for the living room. I would have rated "ordinary" as the room amenities such as bathroom are not up to expectation (identical layout and same size as those of deluxe... More

Stayed in the Traders Hotel for 2 nights. The room was slightly old (learn from concierge rooms will all be upgraded by early next year). The location is superb as hotel is linked to 3 shopping centres. Komtar, 1st Avenue & Prangin Mall so even if rain you can shop till you drop without being drenched. The hotel is just... More
