    Love the atmosphere with the hustle and bustle of the smaller city. Food is great especially their seafood and hawker stalls, highly recommend Coco Island Street Food for their grilled seafood, Roti Canai Transfer Road for their roti canai and roti bakar and Batu Ferringhi's hawker stalls for their quick fix of Malaysian cuisine like char kuey teow, nasi goreng and satay. Their malls aren't worth going as they have the same shops as in Kuala Lumpur, rather just walk and eat at their local shops.

    Really enjoyed my stay, wonderful food, interesting places to see and the people were very warm. My favorite spot was the hotel, enjoyed everything about our stay and the cafe was wonderful, we ate at least one meal there a day. They served a variety of food so we were able to have something different each meal. The staff at Muntri Mews helped us in many ways, getting us taxis and cycle rickshaws, advice on where to go and what to see and eat. Thank you all for a wonderful stay!! Hope to be back soon!

    Mostly crowded place in any popular Nasi Kandar shop and food court. Its actually worth your while if you are patience and willing to wait The town are full with historical area, not short of explanation given by hotels, pamphlet to explain what going on with Penang, very tourist centric and accomodating even to a new travellers. In Penang, i rather stay in Georgetown or a bit to the south until Air Hitam, rather than in bustling area of nearby Tanjung Bungah or Batu Feringgi because the area are very isolated and a bit far from the most attraction in Penang. In a very busy day, a trip from Batu Feringgi to Penang Hill might take up to one hour! For muslim traveller, Local Indian Muslim (assortment of curry) Nasi Kandar, Nasi Briyani, Gurney Drive and Ais Tingkap is a must!

    Georgetown is a must for everyone.

    Georgetown is a must for everyone. This town is a food mecca... it is hard to find a bad eatery, there are so many amazing places to eat, Michelin star restaurants at local Malaysian prices, hawker centres where you will queue with the aunties for a 6rm plate of the best noodles you'll have ever tasted. There are so many fantastic bars and speakeasies. The street art... it is easy to get lost in the culture as you wander around the old streets, before ducking into a place for a cold drink and some AC.

    Penang is my late dad’s hometown, so i’ve been visiting and staying in the Island many times since I was a child. I’d say that its capital George Town has it all; beaches, historical sites, shopping places, cultural centres, you name it and they got it. One of the must-visit place in Malaysia whenever you’re in the country; please take note that it’s not that close to Kuala Lumpur/KL. If you’re driving from KL, it’ll take around 4-5 hours drive (and longer traveling hours train). Alternatively, you may take a 45 minutes flight via KLIA. Oh, and skip the fancy clothing when you’re in Penang. It’s hot for the most part of the year. There’s no need to suffer in the name of fashion.

    A very modern, comfortable hotel in a good location within walking distance of almost everything in George Town. The air conditioning is great, the shower is fully enclosed and has good water pressure, and there are outlets all over the room. If you like to sleep in pitch darkness, you'll love the blackout curtains. And the big wardrobe is very useful if you're staying long enough to unpack. My wife accidentally left a ring in the room when we checked out; the cleaning staff found it and returned it to us.

    The hotel feels like you are in a little luxurious yet welcoming lobby, soft carpet flooring, and beautiful dimming atmosphere. I stayed here over Thaipusam week in a Deluxe room, which is perfect for a couple with its king sized clean bed, nice pillows, spacious seating area and private bathroom. It was truly an escape from the hustle and bustle of KL, and it was such a relaxing experience enjoyed access to shopping malls and hawker delights while enjoying a quieter stay in the heart of George town.

    We have been traveling around Malaysia for 2 weeks, and this was the best hotel of all. The staff is friendly and helpful. They gave us a lot of information about the city, places to visit, and even a list of vegetarian restaurants :) The place is amazing. Restored old Chinese house from 1800, the atmosphere is relaxed with beautiful decoration. You have everything you need in your room plus, the bed is super comfy. We will come back for sure!

    The hotel is located within the town area. Which is very convenient for tourist to walk to most attractions within George Town. Easy to walk towards the Chow Rasta Market, Komtar, and a kilometer away to the Esplanade walking distance. In terms of the hotel outlook, I would say it's good not the best. Room cleanliness is just great. The transparent elevator is just bonkers.

    Such a pretty cozy accommodation with chilly quiet vibes. The interior was nice including pretty antique displays, fish tanks, and wall arts. Location is good too. It is easy to walk around the points of interest in George Town. Since the hotel is off the main street, the neighborhoods was pretty silent and easy to get sleep despite the New Year's Eve.

    The hotel is situated outskirt of the core part of George Town. Visiting the heart of George Town took only 10 - 15 minutes walk. It's close to a big mall where groceries can be purchased. Staff was nice and polite. Very close (within 10 minutes walk) to some hawker centers and breakfast stalls where you could try local foods.
