I would highly recommend this hotel. It is spacious, quiet, and well kept. It is a bit far for the beaches and active side of the island, but nothing a 20 minute hotel taxi ride can't fix. Beautiful tropical breezes gently sifting through the open air lobby and main floor. Very relaxing.

Hotel Equatorial Penang is very comfortable & Friendly place, recommend for people travel for business. Internet, fax and telephone all inside the room. Every rooms have balcony.

Was here for two nights in early April 2013 for a short business trip. The open air layout of the lobby is in classic tropical style and is a welcome atmosphere to return to after a long day in Industrial Penang. Rooms are modern for a 20+ year old hotel. Breakfast was good with western, Malay and Chinese options. The... More

Stayed here as we couldn't get a booking at the G hotel. All in all, we were pleasantly surprised with the Equatorial.

The breakfast was good, if a little limited in selection. The whole family... More

Stayed 2 nights for Covention. Spacious lobby and dont feel very crowded. There a nice Garden with water flowing down to the swimming pool. Room is spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel is next to a golf club and away from commercial area... so you need to take a taxi. Luckily the hotel provided free shuttle bus to few places... More

He even explained the room to me. Very courteous and helpful. The room was spacious and open, and I had a... More

I stay at this hotel during a recent trip to Penang. Thought I would give this hotel a try as I would normally stay at either G hotel or Trader's. It turned out to be a mistake. When I checked in, I along with several co-workers were given a coupon each for a free non alcoholic drink at the bar.... More

The location is convenient for business and leisure, away from the crowded beach hotels during school holiday season. We have stayed here a few times and they staff are always friendly and rooms are always clean and comfortable,
