XXiaotuzijiadexiaopangmiaoFacilities: The hotel has complete facilities, everything you need is there.
Hygiene: The hygiene is good, no obvious oversights.
Environment: Facing the Strait of Malacca.
Service: They helped with our luggage.
As an antique hotel, its value for money is truly excellent. You can stay for just over 1000 [currency unit]. Online, the Heritage Wing is more recommended, but because of its age, we chose the newer Victory Annexe. Before checking in, I saw some online reviews and was a bit worried, but after experiencing it firsthand, I found it to be quite good. First, upon arrival, the staff at the entrance were very attentive. When our car pulled up, they helped with our luggage, and the luggage was even delivered to our room. When checking in, there was a Chinese-speaking person at the front desk, but it seemed most could only speak English. However, simple English was fine, and they also used gestures, making the process very smooth. The room assignment was also quick. After checking in, the hotel balcony faced the sea. This hotel is quite popular, with all kinds of nationalities, but there was no obvious favoritism towards Caucasians or discrimination against Chinese. Perhaps because I'm someone with strong boundaries, every staff member I encountered smiled and nodded in greeting, which even made me feel a bit shy; there was no coldness. The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the Blue Mansion. You can go for a city walk when you step out – still highly recommended!

GGuest UserThe hotel's location is great! It's within walking distance to the street art murals, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby, plus a local supermarket. I heard you can get good deals there on spices and bak kut teh essential oils.
The hotel restaurant is on the smaller side and you'll likely have to queue after 8:30 AM. The food was just okay, and the juice wasn't freshly squeezed. However, the service was very attentive, the facilities are quite new, and housekeeping is efficient.
It's about a 20-minute taxi ride to Penang Hill or other attractions, and only 30 minutes to the airport, which is super convenient.

GGeo ChongLocation is good, right in the centre & within walking distance to eateries & shopping. Close nearby there’s the Hin Depot, it’s like a weekend flea market.
Hotel Service was great, the room that i booked was rather small, city view facing but sun was strong and day time, was abit hot as room window facing the sun. Going green is good, and water dispenser is provided on every floor for our refill. Can i suggest the bottles provided to have a wider opening as when refilling was rather difficult to avoid any spillage, especially taking the hot water
Hotel deco is very festive.

AAnonymous UserMy stay with OZO Penang was truly awesome! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The hotel facilities were well-maintained and comfortable, perfect for both relaxing and getting around the city.
The breakfast spread was a real highlight, a great variety ranging from delicious local dishes to a lovely cheese platter. There was everything from a freshly prepared egg station to a fun ice cream corner, so there was something for everyone. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I would definitely recommend OZO Penang to anyone visiting Penang.

AAnningjinThe hotel's location is superb, making it incredibly convenient for getting around; many attractions are within walking distance. The staff are enthusiastic, friendly, smart, and considerate—for example, they promptly refilled our water whenever it ran low. Check-in times are as flexible as possible to accommodate guests. Furthermore, the hotel's pool area is impressive; it's clean and safe, perfect for kids to play in.

GGuest UserNewish hotel, we have been here before. The first thing you will notice is the lack of furniture and that all your cases will be out on the floor in front of you. There is a ridiculous looking small wash basin that's hard to wash your face in without getting the floor wet or hitting your head on the tap. No slippers, tissues, or hand towels, just one big towel. Only one bedside thing with the phone taking up most of the space, they could fix the phone to the wall. A very small table available had to be used as a bedside table.
Good enclosed shower. Breakfast never changed noticeably but good to see steamed buns available as well as cereal. This meant there was milk for tea/coffee instead of the powdered cream available. I suggested a jug of milk would be nice next to hot drinks but it never happened. I would stay again but not for as long next time.

AAnonymous UserIt was the last hotel at the end of a two week trip in Malaysia. I chose it seeing it was closer to the airport.
It was perfect! A spacious room in a boutique hotel, and some pampering and rest before a long flight home.
Positives:
- Pool, was cool and busy.
- Complimentary drinks, were appreciated.
- Spacious room and bathroom.
- Loved the ‘Say No to Plastic’ environmental initiatives.
- Cafe space, food was tasty and reasonably priced.
- Staff were friendly and efficient.
- Convenient Store down stairs for snack and drinks.
- I asked for an extra hour for check out.
It’s in a residential area, next to a busy road. So it’s not a place to explore the local area and a GRAB is needed to get around.
However, a perfect STAY for the last day of holidays and it’s closer to the airport.

CCHONG CHING3 Days 2 nights stay at Chulia Mansion Georgetown
We booked 2 superior rooms for 2 nights via trip.com for Rm644.40 or Rm161.10/room/night . We checked in to Room 207 and room 215 upon arrival.
Once the door of Room 207 was opened, a bad odour full of stingy smell appeared. We did not care to take action at that moment. We went out for good food. After coming back to hotel to rest, we tried to check whereabout the smell coming from, and to take action by closing the toilet door from that moment thru the night. Sad to say, the stingy smell was still there all night long, and I could not have a good night sleep thru the night while surrounded with bad odour.
On top of that, the toilet shower rubber hose was cracked and water rushed out during our shower in day time.
The following day, I went to the lobby to tell the hotel lady, all the facts and request to change to another room. The lady checked the hotel computer system and told me that the hotel was fully booked a night before once housekeeping was done, they will give me a new room. That was roughly 12 noon. So, they tell me to go back to stay in room 207 to rest, and to wait for her call.
At 12 something , one man knocked on my door and sprayed our room 207 with air freshener, changed the hose and left.
By 1pm, I was uneasy and I went to the Lobby to follow up with the change of room. The same lady was watching something like movie her table, I asked her why nothing done to call and inform me to change to a new room. She raised her head and looked at me and said that the housekeeper informed her that there was nothing wrong with the room.
At that moment, my temper was up and I told her firmly and repeatedly that i want to change to a new room.
The next thing happened was that we were checked into room 315. We were lucky and happy that room 315 has no bad stingy smell. However, the shower hose in the room 315 was rosak then again I told the lobby about the facts.
So, moral of my stay is to follow up with the LOBBY all issues and defect in the hotel room that I feel unhappy with.
The whole purpose of the stay is to get happiness and relax by paying cash that worth the value, and not wait until check out to complain.
Last but not least, room 215 facing the street also noisy due to the sound and noise coming from motorcycle , cars and vehicles during daytime outside street, and also live band, loud music and pub. You can also hear music and live band coming from the roof of Chulia Mansion building itself.
Finally, I think if you are a light sleeper this hotel definitely is not your choice.

With Bishop Hotel, you can go to the seaside park, clock tower, Fort Cornwallis and the weld easily.
The reception staff is nice & helpful.
The room is clean & tidy but I wish for shower curtain/enclosure.

AAnonymous UserAbsolutely fantastic! The bellhop who handles luggage storage recognized us from a distance and helped us retrieve our bags. The room was spacious, the bathroom was huge, and the view was incredible, overlooking the entire Old Town. Great value for money. The Old Town is just a short walk away. There's also a school downstairs, so we got to see the kids during their classes every day. And the Blue House is just a few meters away – amazing!
