I loved this hotel. The rooms are beautiful and the original artworks complemented the décor and general feel of the hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. As a person who generally doesn't like hotels, this one proved an exception. Highly recommended

Booked this hotel for 2 nights on deluxe room without balcony. The hotel is really beautiful, nicely decorated with art pieces all over the region. The room is very spacious and wonderfully done. Unfortunately, my room which facing the main road can be noisy at times, but that did not bother me that much (was out most of the time,... More

We stayed in rooms 30 and 39 and the rooms were beautifully set up with shutters furniture artwork fans and aircon. The street outside was noisy and lights all night but that was part of the charm. The staff were excellent, service was good and with a smile. The Spa was very good and the breakfast great. limited evening menu.

Every time I visit Penang, I will be staying in a different boutique hotel. This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. I love the mix of Chinese, Malay and British interiors. The pictures on every floor is a must to see-cleverly taken and hilarious. Breakfasts were brilliant (despite similar kind of food served when you for stay 6 days, I'm alright with... More

Dear JMinoi, We thank you for your recent review on Hotel Penaga. And yes, the pictures on the hallway of every floor were taken and "manipulated" by one of our artist who has done his Artist Residency here at Hotel Penaga can be quite hilarious (I would have to say very smart move of him).

We stayed in room 39, facing onto the side street. The room was amazing, with old antique furniture, artwork, and loads of old stained glass windows with intricate shutters. The street outside was quite noisy, but we expected that in the city and had no problem sleeping. The staff were excellent, service was perfect and always with a smile. The... More

The hotel and its rooms are beautiful. However many little things that aren't quite right let it down. AIr conditioning in the room seemed to intermittently blow warm air instead of cold. Furnishings seem hastily repaired. Rooms facing the road are quite noisy due to heavy traffic in the area even through the night and early in the morning. The... More

The rooms are breath taking considering the price, I couldnt fault anything in this hotel other than the bicycle rickshaw tour included in the package, but this had nothing to do with the hotel itself as it was a 3rd party hired in to do the tour. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel and I will come... More
