Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang

8/10 Good

"Generally clean room though old"

Armenian Street Heritage Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The room was alright for just a 2 day stay , not the best condition, but manageable, the breakfast was a 4 out of 10 , better off going to the street and eating better food , front desk staff was great !!!!! Like it ok for a 2-3 day stay , wouldn’t stay here for longer then that only if I had to "

Eastern And Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at the E and O three times over the past 20 years. I love this hotel! Its old colonial flavour sits well with me. The new part is lovely too but this time we stayed in the Heritage wing which will always be my favourite. Our room 010 which had a separate lounge and twin bedded room, opened up to the grass area a few steps from that gorgeous pool. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food was amazing. This hotel is full of old world charm. Always will be highly recommended. Hope to keep returning as the years progress. "

Shangri-La Golden Sands, Penang

4/10 Poor

"Firstly, if you get a room that is not facing the pool beware where it faces. There is a mosque beside the hotel and they do have prayer calls 5 times a day, including 1 before bedtime and another at 6am. For those not used to it, it can be very jarring. Food is mediocre and expected for the price paid. Facilities are worn... I mean pretty old at this point. Overall we made do with what we had and my kid still enjoyed our little vacation. This place is due for a refresh but meanwhile, I wish them only the best. I would have given the hotel 3 stars, had they informed me about the possibility of being awoken at 6am."
