Top Downtown George Town Hotel Reviews

An outdoor patio area with wicker furniture, a round gold table, and potted plants.

Campbell House

Downtown George Town

10/10 Excellent

Plenty of gorgeous historic boutique hotels in Georgetown but this one makes an enormous effort on service and, while not without some bumps, it shows. A few room quirks: surprisingly only 2 or 3 TV stations, with no English news. Yes, you are not here to watch TV but... AC is rather loud. The hotel is above Il Bacaro Italian restaurant--a very good place. Breakfast there (Il Bacaro, complimentary with hotel stay) offers many options, fresh and homemade.

The Prestige Hotel Penang

My boyfriend and I stayed at The Prestige for 4 nights 5 days. The check in went fast and smooth and the staff were super friendly. We had a free welcome drink voucher. The room was spotless and the decor looked exactly like the pictures on the wensite. We immediately felt like we were staying in luxury. The only improvement area for the room is that there was no bin in the toilet which is necessary for women to have. Also there werent enough sanitary bags in the room. The minibar options were...

The Edison George Town

10/10 Excellent

Edison gives you a warm welcoming experience at their heritage home- high attention to detail of service from the team, tastefully designed clean rooms, open concept pantry with access to coffee/drinks/snacks through the day. It's fitted with modern finishing with a hint of Peranakan architecture. But the most memorable, is not about the architecture because you can find that plentiful around George Town. It is the people that makes the difference, it felt that we were staying with friends-...

I spent a bank holiday weekend with a friend in this lovely hotel. The decor is extremely tasteful and welcoming. Our room was very spacious and comfortable.

Breakfast is served on a lovely covered terrace by the pool and they offer everything you need, from eggs, toasts, fruits to more local dishes such as nasi lemak. The location is very good and you we were able to walk eveywhere in Georgetown. There are plenty of little cafés and...
