Hotel a 3 stelle in Penang, Malesia

If you were expecting peace and quiet from photos shown (gives that impression ) you won’t get it here - as the music from kool kongsi runs to past midnight , if you are a light sleeper - you will be annoyed. So for us, on 2nd night .. just join the fun! Kool kongsi is a chic cocktail bar with dj spinning music .  The other feedback I have and I feel hotel should train staff or put up signs for patrons of the sandwich bar to be considerate about noise . While I understand it’s an open space as one of your staff said - but as paying hotel guest, it’s not what is expected. There was a group of people celebrating 15 dogs birthdays there . The dog owners especially a few ladies were at top of their voices asking their dogs to sit still for photo taking sessions- this went on for about  2 hours  . While the dogs are extremely cute but this is very very annoying for guests who are trying to rest or enjoy the room.  We were initially excited to find this hotel and were  looking forward to our stay. This is quite a put off, my husband is not keen on considering staying here again.

L'hotel è a pochi passi dal famoso mercato di Iyer Itam. Qui potrete fare colazione prima di dirigervi verso il tempio Kek Lok Si. La camera non è molto grande, ma offre i servizi essenziali. Nel complesso è pulita. Minifrigo, TV, asciugacapelli, bollitore e aria condizionata funzionano tutti bene. Anche il letto è comodo.

The Museum Hotel is absolutely beautiful - it’s like a step back in time.  The standard double was great for 2 people - there isn’t much of a view since all the rooms are on the 1st floor (Europe)/2nd floor (US), so you might want to opt for no view as it should be quieter.  The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.  The breakfast options were varied and delicious (à la carte).  The pool isn’t big (in fact it’s tiny) so don’t book this property for a pool.  The location seemed okay, but it was hard to tell because many of the nearby businesses were closed possibly due to the holiday (new years).  It was within a few blocks of a bus stop and within a mile of the street art.  A great restaurant, Laksalicious, is just around the corner.

La camera era ben attrezzata e l'ambiente generale era piacevole. Il servizio è stato ottimo, sempre disponibili ad aiutare. L'unico neo è che la camera era un po' piccola e senza finestre, il che la rendeva un po' claustrofobica. La colazione era buona sia per l'ambiente che per il cibo. Nel complesso, un'esperienza positiva, lo consiglio.

We stayed two nights at Summer Tree Hotel Penang during our trip to Penang. One of the main reasons I chose this hotel was its location — right in the heart of Georgetown near Komtar, which makes it very convenient for getting around. It also offers parking, which is a big plus in this area. Another reason was the late check-in option, as I was having dinner with a friend in Nibong Tebal, which is quite a distance away. The pricing was also reasonable, making it an attractive choice overall. Upon arrival, however, parking was already full. I had to park at a space right in front of the hotel where delivery trucks usually arrive in the morning. This made me slightly anxious, as I was worried I might be asked to move my car early the next day. The lobby is simple but modern, with a creative, slightly hipster and artistic vibe — almost like a small modern art space. There are vending machines offering snacks, drinks, and essentials for travelers. At the back, there are toilets and also a laundry area with washing machines. A small coffee corner and even an old-school arcade game machine add a nice nostalgic touch, which was a pleasant surprise. However, the room itself was quite disappointing. While the room is basic and small — which I don’t mind — the flooring under the carpet felt severely damaged. Walking on it felt uneven and almost “soft,” as if the ground beneath had deteriorated. It gave a very uncomfortable and unsettling feeling, possibly due to moisture or termite damage underneath. Another concern was the bathroom design. There is an elevated step at the entrance, which becomes a clear trip hazard. I actually tripped once when entering. Even after that, I had to be very cautious because the floor just outside the bathroom is extremely slippery. Every entry and exit required full attention. There is also no proper shelf or platform inside the shower area to place shampoo or shower gel. We had to repeatedly open and close the glass door just to access toiletries during showering, which was inconvenient. Only basic amenities like shower gel and liquid hand soap were provided. The room was also advertised with a decent view, but the window was covered with a mesh, and since we were on the first floor, there was very little to see. On the positive side, the water dispenser outside the room was very convenient. The next day, parking was still full, so we had to park at a private area nearby. Since it was raining, the walk back to the hotel was quite inconvenient as well. Overall, while the location and concept of the hotel are strong, the room condition and safety design issues need serious attention. I would strongly recommend replacing the carpet flooring with vinyl wood flooring for durability and hygiene. As for the bathroom layout, improvements may be limited due to structure, but safety enhancements like anti-slip flooring would make a big difference.

Adoro la piscina dove puoi rinfrescarti dopo una lunga passeggiata. La posizione è eccezionale, tutto, dalla stazione degli autobus ai centri commerciali, al cibo o ai siti storici, è a portata di mano. L'hotel ha anche offerto un servizio di decorazione per il compleanno di mia moglie a un costo contenuto e abbordabile, il che ha reso il mio soggiorno ancora più memorabile.

Hotel average. Not satisfied with the difference in check in counter&the deposit is quite high for average hotel. Receipts for deposit provided only by request. The pressure for toilet bidet is too slow. Room is clean & spacious however the pillow is too light&causing a headache in the morning. Charge for parking is too high & unacceptable for guest shoud be waive.

The picture in online is quite nice, but the actual staying is quite shocking 😅 When we first enter the lobby, we are impressed, cos for an old shop lot, the lobby is giving a good impression with it's bright lighting and cleanliness. Then we faced several difficulties that we need to highlight for all visitors who wish to book this hotel (for the owner also, I hope you see my review and make some improvement that will definitely increase your customers and rebooking) 1. We changed room for three times. The [first room No. 29] is with a big hole/maintenance door in bathroom ceiling that exposed all the electrical wire which may caused danger to life. Some more got a line of ants all around the room ceiling and floor. The [second room No. 32] is quite nice, bright and comfortable but the water heater is not working with no hot water and the water pressure is so small. Then finally we changed to a good one. 2. The price we paid is for room with window, but I rather don't want cos it doesn't play any purpose except as a decoration, at the same time without curtain! (All the rooms we changed are without curtains) So anyone can look into our room when we have the lights on 😅 3. Super helpful front desk. The owner should reward the Sabahan lady who helps us to change room. She walks up and down to get us a comfortable room. We really appreciate it a lot 🙏🏻🥰 If not, I'll leave a really really bad review here cos we are really tire with all the hassles 😒 4. For those who like to stay upstairs (first/second floor), there's no lift, so you will need to climb stairs. Bringing elderly or OKU, can only stay at ground floor. 5. All the rooms we been to has a common issue -- it's not basic clean 😅 The toilet has urine stain, the bedsheet has 2-3 hairs on it, and the table and teacup are definitely not for use one (I don't dare to use 🤣) 6. The last room we stay has flies and we smashed them onto wall cos we're too tire to wait and change a new room aldy. At least we finally get a room with hot bath water. 7. Soundproof is not good. In the room, we can hear the sound of people talking and passing the hall, and the car honking. For us is ok, cos we are deep sleeper, but for those who are sensitive, I don't think you will get a good sleep here 🤣 Overall, the good things of this hotel: 1. It's budget, so ok lah 2. The front desk is helpful and responsive 3. The overall amenities still ok (available: free filter water, TV with wifi, mirror in bathroom, water heater; NOT available: no toilet tissue, no hangers but it has hanging rack) So conclusion is, if you're just need a place to bath and sleep, then may consider here. In my opinion, it will not be a good place for 'enjoy hotel time'. So it makes sense for the price paid. Thank you for attending to us.

Strategic location. Feeling alive in the middle of georgetown. Room was spacious and cheap hotel. Parking limited but depends on situation. Lots of restaurant near hotel

Il Raia Hotel Penang è una proprietà più vecchia, e mostra nella manutenzione della stanza.Durante il mio soggiorno, le tende non potevano mettere bene la stanza, lasciando troppo luce. Al di sopra di questo, c’era un rumore operativo forte, presto al mattino, dalla cabina di cucina che cominciava. Ha reso molto difficile ottenere un buon riposo di notte. Ha bisogno di miglioramento nelle stanze di controllo del rumore e di cortine di blackout.
