Top Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal Hotel Reviews

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."

Muntri Mews

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem! Staying at the Muntri Mews was like lodging in a 19th century cultural museum. The hotel is part of the George Town Heritage & Hotels group, and it was the second one of the group I have stayed in. The previous experience was good, but this one was outstanding. The room was actually a two-level suite, and perhaps a bit much for a solo traveler, with three king-size beds available, but the affable manager Linda gave me a small gift that she admitted was a bribe to make sure my wife made the trip should I return for the same event next year. Super nice! Because my flight arrived extremely late, I arrived at the Muntri Mews after midnight, but check-in was no problem. (I did use Hotels.com's messaging to make sure the hotel knew I was likely to be very late, but that doesn't always mean such a warm welcome would occur after midnight.) I did make a video to make sure my wife did see my accommodations, but the quality is too poor to post. I'll just say if I'm back in Penang I will definitely try to book the Muntri Mews again, though they only have a small number of rooms, so I would need to book early! The location in the historic UNESCO World Heritage area is also ideal, and there are excellent dining options with a range of restaurants and a lot of Penang's word-famous street food in the area."

Sunway Hotel Georgetown Penang

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel rooms are big. Although it's not in the latest decorations, the room and bathroom are clean and functional, bed was comfortable with clean linen, meets our needs. The location is excellent. The New Land hawker stalls are literally on the doorstep, we were able to take away the food and enjoy them in the comfort of the airconed hotel room. Many attractions in Georgetown are within walking distance. We will stay at Sunway if we visit Penang again."

JEN Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff"

Cititel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay at this hotel and would absolutely come back. The room was lovely, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The cleaning staff deserve a special mention; they did such a wonderful job keeping the room spotless throughout my stay. All of the hotel staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I really appreciated the complimentary juices available downstairs. It was such a nice little touch. And the free late checkout! The only minor drawbacks were that the jacuzzi wasn't working during my stay, and I personally would have preferred an outdoor pool rather than the indoor pool. Aside from those small things, everything was fantastic. The location is excellent, the service was wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. **I can't wait to come back to Penang and stay here again!**"

Le Dream Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"very good location."

The Prestige Hotel Penang

8/10 Good

"Great location and very clean. However, there was some construction next to the hotel, and occasionally there was an unpleasant sewage smell."

Victoria Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Initially, when walking into the hotel, you’re greeted by wonderful, friendly doorman that helps with getting you into the hotel and giving a wonderful experience when checking in your greeted by the friendly hotel staff when we are initially checking in it was quite a bit later in the evening, he was a fantastic person, and I had questions earlier so when I had talked to him on the phone, he was super friendly and informative of all updates! Once we got to our room, we definitely enjoy the comfortability and the numerous pillows on the bed! After being at the hotel for a couple of days, we met the manager. Not due to him not being on the property, but because we were not on the property very much for our first few days. He was very kind and very helpful, providing lots of information and being super friendly getting to know us. Informed us of like previous places he’s worked and how he’s been enjoying this position and he has been running the hotel. Although it says that there is a airport shuttle, it does not offer an actual shuttle… Was a little disappointed about that, but if you would go on a good time, typically getting to it from the airport is that very expensive and it since the hotel is conveniently located near bus station it definitely makes it even easier if you don’t want to take a grab! Overall 10 out of 10 would recommend"
