Hotel Penaga, hotel in George Town

This boutique hotel is housed in 3 rows of 2-storey shophouses originally built in the 1940s. A lovely base for exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town.

Beautiful room with great view for sunset! Close to a busy street, but quiet at night as most shops are closed. Room is equipped with basic needs and almost perfect. Public parking space might be full if you arrive late, and you have to pay for the parking through the app.

    Penang is my late dad’s hometown, so i’ve been visiting and staying in the Island many times since I was a child. I’d say that its capital George Town has it all; beaches, historical sites, shopping places, cultural centres, you name it and they got it. One of the must-visit place in Malaysia whenever you’re in the country; please take note that it’s not that close to Kuala Lumpur/KL. If you’re driving from KL, it’ll take around 4-5 hours drive (and longer traveling hours train). Alternatively, you may take a 45 minutes flight via KLIA. Oh, and skip the fancy clothing when you’re in Penang. It’s hot for the most part of the year. There’s no need to suffer in the name of fashion.

    George Town is the perfect destination for those looking for a weekend getaway from the bustling concrete forest that is Kuala Lumpur. It is also perfect for those who hold a deep and special appreciation for cities that preserves their rich history and heritage. As you walk around the city, you can find yourself surrounded by many amazing street art and cute heritage sites, such as temples and other old Chinese architecture. And don't forget about the plethora of amazing and affordable street foods you can come across during your walk. Definitely don't end your day early and make the most of your evening as there are many night markets happening daily.

    During our recent stay, Alan went above and beyond to ensure that our requests were handled efficiently and that we felt heard and valued as guests. His professionalism and dedication to his role did not go unnoticed, and it significantly contributed to the positive experience we had during our stay. Exploring the local culinary scene, including Teksen Restaurant, Plus Eatery Cafe, Uncle Lim’s Kacang Tumbuk, and many others, was a true highlight of our trip. Having such a diverse selection of dining options nearby added immense value to our stay. Thank you for providing us with a comfortable and convenient accommodation experience. We look forward to visiting again and indulging in more of the delicious offerings near your hotel.

    UNESCO site, old buildings well kept, very clean streets all around. Friendly neighborhood, most business operators are very welcoming too. CAT Free shuttle bus service is excellent. We had great time visiting Kek Lok Si, The Habitat, Penang Hill, Peranakan Museum Penang, Blue Mansion, War Museum. "The Top" at Komtar is very disappointed visit though, staff are not welcoming, very bad attitude. facility around is poor too, access to entrance is somehow confusing. Overpriced & not worth the visit. The city council should pay serious attention in maintaining walkway of shoplots as we noticed many of the shop operator blocked their front walkway by using huge pots & plants, chairs, signboard, motorcycles and so on, forcing pedestrians to walk on the road side & fight with oncoming traffic, which already packed with double parked cars, potentially causing unwanted accident, this to me is totally unacceptable in such a beautiful city. Tourism board/City council should erect more signboard for main tourist attractions too, it definitely helps tourists to walk around.

    Charming city with a long history.

    Charming city with a long history. The local food is amazing! Try the hawker stalls, local nyonya food/ restaurants. But if you want something fancier like modern western food, there are many new restaurants opened by the younger generation. Lots of coffee cafes operated by young people and they are great! It is easy to get around Penang in a Grab, and cheap too. Spend 1/2 day in Penang Hill - take the train up. Its only 4.5 min over a 2 km steep climb. The visit is worth it.

    Honestly one of the, if not the best interior design for a boutique hotel in Malaysia. I love the view of the air well facing from the bed which its roof reminded me of my kampung house. The bed was super comfy and I had the best sleep. The check out time is 12 pm which is nice. Alot of essential facilities such as a ceiling fan, a mini fridge, an ironing table and a flat screen TV is available inside the room. The hot water runs consistently throughout.

    This was my second time staying at the B Street Hotel, and it was just as cozy as the first time staying in Penang. The entire staff was welcoming and friendly, always smiling and eager to help. The location was right near all the popular sights and many restaurants and cafes, definitely a prime location. I ended up booking another night here at a later date when returning to Penang from Langkawi, and I'll stay here again for future visits.

    Location, room size, cleanliness. After feeling like in a prison cell in a hotel in Singapore, I came to this spacious hotel room in George Town. At least 10 times as large, half the price. I usually stay at a hotel in Chulia Street when I come to Penang, but my regular hotel was not available, so I booked this one nearby and was not dissapointed! I will probably stay at Attic Hotel when I come back next time!
