My Chew Jetty Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

The E&O Hotel was definitely the highlight of my trip to Malaysia! Highly recommended! This 140-year-old heritage hotel is one of the world's three grand old hotels. Its architecture boasts strong British colonial characteristics, and the interiors are incredibly luxurious, adorned with numerous antique furnishings and artworks. Many world-renowned figures have stayed here. Every corner offers a picturesque photo opportunity, no filters needed! I recommend staying in the Legacy Wing to enjoy more exclusive hotel perks, such as the benefits listed in the last picture that we enjoyed during our three-day stay (the hotel even complimentary a bottle of nice red wine!). Exploring the hotel itself each day was a delight, saving us from having to venture out in the scorching sun to find attractions. Three days wasn't nearly enough. The staff were all wonderful, and the hotel guests included many elderly Caucasian tourists from Europe and America, as well as many Chinese travelers like us, visiting during Golden Week. The staff were always smiling and treated everyone equally, regardless of their nationality. The breakfast selection was extensive; we tried breakfast at three different restaurants, each with its own unique charm, accompanied by beautiful scenery and antique furniture – very satisfying! 👍 The hotel has two pools: one on the ground floor by the sea, and another infinity pool on the 6th floor. Both are stunning. There were often many Chinese women taking photos by the pool, but not actually swimming, which left me plenty of space. I even learned how to breaststroke in just three days, haha! The hotel is located in George Town, surrounded by the old colonial buildings of the old quarter, which are definitely worth seeing. Nearby attractions include the Pinang Peranakan Mansion (also known as the Nyonya Museum) and the Clan Jetties. If you're going to Penang, you absolutely must stay at this hotel!

Book this hotel due to recommendation but found it extremely unacceptable compare to my normal travelling hotels. Upon arrival receptionist was unfriendly & business like. Size of the suites are big but too many steep stairs to climb to the bedroom not suitable for aged or handicap. Flooring was in bad condition most area in the sitting room area bulge up one can tripped easily if unaware, Hotel tried to cover up with foot mat but not helpful. We found the room spooky with dark antique furnitures which makes the room even darker & uncomfortable. Unfortunately I’ve paid for the 3 nights & hotel not willing to refund the 2 nights fee even if we had spent 1 night there. This hotel has great potential but needs to upgrade its current condition. Breakfast selection not great, we prefer to eat out although room rate includes breakfast.

It was a truly amazing stay! Their service was amazing! We’re beyond grateful for everything. Breakfast was so good, and they even let us know the night before to set up the breakfast for us the next morning. Every night when we came back, we got the warmest notes from them and it made us feel so special. We came here for our short honeymoon and we loved every bit of it. Highly recommend this place to anyone especially those planning for honeymoon or couple escape.

The room was very clean, feeling like it just opened recently, but there was no strange smell. Overall, it was pretty good, except for the check-in which took until 3 PM. However, the spa was a bit mediocre; perhaps the staff training hadn't been completed since it just opened, so the service was a bit lacking.

The room was very clean and the service was excellent. Having a washing machine and dryer in the room was especially useful. Right across from the hotel is the sea, not a sandy beach, but with a dam. If you walk a little further, there are plenty of restaurants nearby.

Rooms don't have numbers; they're identified by names instead. We booked a triple room with a double and a single bed, named 'Yantai' – I wonder if it's a reference to the city? There might be a bar with live music nearby, as it stayed noisy until past midnight. The AC worked great, though the electric fan had a slight hum. Earplugs are provided for each bed, but I wouldn't recommend this place if you're a light sleeper. The hotel restaurant was completely booked on weekends for both lunch and dinner; you definitely need a reservation to eat there. The complimentary breakfast was just okay, but it was definitely filling! As an old building, the main drawbacks were the poor soundproofing and the lack of an elevator. However, the hotel did have bellhops who were happy to help with luggage, which was a plus. On the bright side, the cleanliness was pretty good too. Crucially, the room itself was surprisingly spacious! The welcome snack was Nyonya kueh.

I had a wonderful stay at Penang Marriott Hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with a stunning view. Breakfast offered a great variety with both local and international selections, all fresh and delicious. The swimming pool and facilities were fantastic — perfect for relaxing after exploring Penang. I also appreciated the convenient location near good restaurants and attractions. Overall, Penang Marriott truly delivers a five-star experience with comfort and quality. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Penang. Highly recommended!

The location is absolutely fantastic! It's incredibly convenient to get anywhere you want to go. There's an amazing variety of delicious food right on your doorstep: within a 500-meter radius, you'll find 12 Michelin-starred restaurants and 5 top-rated eateries, including a specialized durian shop, as well as many famous attractions.

The rooms are very comfortable and quite new. The second bedroom has two queen beds pushed together, which is perfect for a family of four. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, ideal for a family of three with young children. The amenities are well-equipped. Parking is very convenient with direct elevator access from the parking space straight to your floor. It's less crowded than Block A, and there's a handy mini-mart on the ground floor of Block B for easy shopping. The washing machine is clean and odor-free, making laundry easy, but it doesn't have a drying function. There's also limited space for hanging clothes. Overall, it's a worthwhile place to stay, especially if you have a rental car, as it makes getting around incredibly convenient. I forgot to take pictures, but the place looks exactly like the photos online. A heads-up for stays in Malaysia: you might want to bring your own shower head or filter, as the water quality leaves a lot to be desired. The host was very friendly and responsive, quickly addressing any issues. Communication was also very convenient via WeChat.
