Top Fort Cornwallis Hotel Reviews

The Prestige Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful hotel and the bedroom was spotless - as were all the communal areas. The Glasshouse was a lovely place to eat and drink and the staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. There are roadworks around the property right now but this is not really an issue once you’re inside so don’t let this put you off."

Cititel Penang

8/10 Good

"Best location, near the attractions for out-of-state tourist. All within walking distance. Staff were friendly and interactive. Providing guides and suggestions for tourist attractions."

Eastern And Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

OZO George Town Penang

10/10 Excellent

"We had the double superior room which was perfect for a teenager and adults. The door between could be closed, if needed. Good location, good sized rooms. Check in was excellent, we were able to get in 3 hours early for a small additional cost. The rooftop pool was fantastic."

Le Dream Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Surrounded with good food"

Royale Chulan Penang

8/10 Good

"Great location. Lots of things in walking distance. It’s an above average hotel with an upscale hotel price."

Cheong Fatt Tze - The Blue Mansion

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful stay in the picturesque, atmospheric Blue Mansion. The hotel staff were really friendly and extremely helpful. A wonderful place to stay for a few nights in George Town"

Mclane Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Well maintained hotel at the heart of GeorgeTown. Excellent location for connectivity to the mainland, via the ferries’ jetty, very close to historical sites (eg the Khoo Kongsi), local eateries and to the lively night scene. Staff are friendly and helpful (special shout out to Nick and Eline). The night staff during my stay could smile more or just offer a warm greeting. Breakfast menu is fair and could be improved with more items l(eg coffee in a pot) plus tastier cereal and sausages. Room amenities are reasonably complete only ergonomics could be slightly improved (eg more flat space to put stuff, localised electrical plug for the kettle and a movable shower head to prevent water splashing onto the wooden door. However I am very pleased there is an in-room safety box and an air conditioner that could be turned off completely when the room gets too cold. The price is reasonable for a boutique hotel, Overall I enjoyed my stay here and would strongly recommend the hotel to local and international guests."
