Hotels with Balcony in Historic George Town

"Friendly staff and better hospitality"

"We had a very pleasant stay at this historical hotel."

"Everything was perfect "

"Our arrival was good given top floor level 8 so fair to good views of the sea ( paid for extra when booking the ticket price) The hotel is ‘mature’ lets say. Seasoned not old.. it requires some updating but not to lose its heritage feel. Rooms smaller than expected but has most modern features you need. Perhaps a duplicate of usb or c-2-c ports beside both sides of the bed would be useful for couples having similar technology that requires charging! Food was good - we chose b&b as local food is great, fresh & cheap too so saved lots of ringgits! All staff pleasant friendly & professional and happy to help. Pool is small and family friendly no shouty children thank goodness but small families enjoying the precious quality time spent together in sunshine & luxury. Grab taxis were a blessing and cheap enough to get you where you need to be so used them daily. Recommend using @GetYourGuide tour with G-Shen for the Penang Hill tour - worth every penny & learned so much from him! We stayed 8 days and loved everyday even the exhilarating lightning storms across the sea in front of our balcony! They were alternating evenings after sunset in April. Shangri la hotels are good.. would like to experience all their hotels around the world eventually! *if they’re reading!!😀"

"I had a big problem with a mould which was pretty obvious by the smell in each of the four rooms I was showing,where I picked the best and still got a sinus migraine overnight. My wife isn’t sensitive and she didn’t have an issue even though she could smell it the first day. They seem to do a good job of cleaning it on the second day so the next two days seem quite OK but I believe it came back again, possibly because they couldn’t get deep into cleaning away the mould that was probably, I suspect, in the Air-Conditioning. The carpet was very clean. Having said that, I loved this place for it ambience, The, great breakfast, and the wonderful swimming pool that goes into the shade in the later part of the afternoon was a plus because I didn’t have to protect myself from the sun. The gym is very well equipped annd it is also an interesting location for restaurants and the old colonial side of Georgetown. So if you are not mould sensitive or they’ve managed to permanently fix the problem then it’s good value and enjoyable. It took it took a big toll on my respiratory system by the end of the week I spent there."
