The location of hotel is good, as when you go to downstairs of the hotel can find a lot of good foods there, not a problem to get a food. The hotel is quite old, bathroom is not really good in condition. However there are renovation going on until next year, should have a better room to stay. Overall this... More

This hotel is located right in the heart of Penang, suitable for low cost travellers, hence average quality rooms ready to serve. The food stalls surronding the hotel, hundreds of them serving a variety of cuisine, Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Western. Going to shopping malls? Just a walking distance. Taxis are avaiable 24 hours infront of the hotel with friendly... More

I booked this hotel after being recommended by a Taxi and a tour company. I've no complaints about the hotel except that the bathroom fixtures needed to be replaced. If you're coming on business this hotel is ok but if you're coming to Penang on vacation then I suggest booking one of the hotels with a seaview.

Yes the hotel is rather old but room still ok and clean beds r comfy enough. Location is best especially if u love to try the street food. Scam is we gotta pays for wifi and only work in the lobby area! Weird,but they do explain only some floors have wifi. Breakfast is included and was not too bad.

We were given non smoking room upon check in. But once we entered the room, it was very bad smell of smoke. Not sure how this hotel defines non smoking. Since we only used the room for 6 hour sleep, we didn't complaint to reception. The next morning breakfast however really made us upset. Porridge was smelly. Not sure it... More

Stay 2 nights at Sunway Georgetown after staying last year. Selection is mainly for the loaction, parking and local food aplenty. Hotel seems to be undergoing renovations but work seems to be very slow, as it was renovating when I stayed there more than 6-7 months ago. Lift to car-park still out of bounds.
