Top Fort Cornwallis Hotel Reviews

The Granite Luxury Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"Reception Joshua, housekeeper shoyan and security viknish are very friendly and helped my elderly mother so readily. Service is superb in this hotel and location is ideal, convenient to anywhere you want to go in Georgetown."

The Prestige Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"Well maintained. My 3rd time staying in Prestige hotel since opening. Clean and perfect size room for couple with complete amenities. Friendly and helpful front desk staff. Good breakfast with Malaysian flavours. Highly recommended"

Muntri Mews

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place, attentive staff. The bed is comfortable. The location is central. The decorations and the ambience made the trip extra special!"

Cheong Fatt Tze - The Blue Mansion

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff, especially Aaron and Jalal!"

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."

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."

OZO George Town Penang

10/10 Excellent

"Good value . Good food options all walking distance"

JEN Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff"

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"
