"Fabulous 6 night stay at Muntri Grove. We were in an upstairs room which was very spacious and felt even more so with the vaulted ceiling. The room was spotlessly clean. The pool was great to have a swim in the afternoon after we'd been out exploring. The location was so central and easy to walk everywhere. But most of all the staff were so pleasant and helpful especially Suffian who we had the most interaction with. He gave us some great restaurant recommendations. There is noise from the...

JEN Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location in the heart of George Town! Staff provided excellent service and was especially helpful with helping me book an outstanding tour of the city! Would 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."
