The Millen Penang, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"One of the most beautiful hotel we stayed at. They upgraded us to a suite. The furnishings and all decor items are very high quality. The food and breakfast are truly outstanding. The staff super friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this hotel. "

Victoria Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was very pleasant overall. The room was comfortable, well-equipped, and met all expectations for a typical hotel stay. Everything worked well, and the bed was comfortable, which made for a good night’s rest. The breakfast was excellent and very abundant, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The only minor downside was that there were some hairs in the bathroom and a few around the room, which slightly affected the initial impression. Other than that, everything was great and I would consider staying here again."
