Pros: Beautiful heritage building in a good location. The room was as expected and well appointed. Good size, clean and comfortable. Staff were excellent and friendly, particularly in the Heritage Bar at night. Concierge was helpful and the Hotel's contract driver gave us a great tour of the Island.

Cons: The shower leaked a lot of water into the bathroom/toilet. Executive lounge is very disappointing with very limited breakfast. We ate downstairs in the Cafe after the first morning which was a much better full buffet. No drinks (alcoholic) available in the Exec lounge, pastries for afternoon (as listed on the brochure provided at check-in) were actually biscuits. Minibar in our room was empty despite a sign on top informing of Complimentary drinks and prices for other items. Hand towels taken but not replaced after first day - had to chase housekeeping staff to obtain them. We had a snack in the Heritage Lounge on the first night and there were still crumbs on the floor from our meal on the third night (we sat in the same place).

Pros: Spacious room and very clean room and toilet. Will definitely come again and stay at the Royale Chulan Penang.

Pros: Excellent place to stay and everything!

Cons: None!

Pros: very helpful and polite staff, great location, nice and clean room.

Cons: breakfast was not that good, coffee was bad.

Pros: Breakfas

Cons: Nil

Pros: We received the warmest greeting, and this kindness and friendliness continued throughout our stay. The Duty Manager even printed off our ferry boarding passes or us. The entire staff was very professional, but also had a personal touch. Our room was upgraded as a surprise. The room was luxurious, and we had a view over the pool and out to the harbour and distant lights. The breakfast selection was excellent, with a change of some items the second day. The freshness and quality of the food was very good. The car parking was in a secure building, just opposite the hotel entrance. Excellent location, easy to find after coming over the bridge, and so close to the old area of George Town.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Charming Hotel in a great location. Good breakfasts. Friendly staff

Pros: The staff was friendly, we had a great time. Quite room and nice pool.

Cons: The restaurant is small, and breakfast is very poor choices

Pros: Location

Cons: The bed in my room needs to be changed

Pros: The room was ok

Cons: My booking was unavailable, they 'ran out' of rooms. So, they 'upgraded' me to a different room. Went up to the room to find out that it was no ready, and the hallway and room stunk of tabacoo and cigarettes. I checked in at 3pm, an hour later than the check in tome. So I find it unacceptable that rooms were no ready. Anyway, I talked to the manager, who did not believe that the room was not ready and that stunk of cigarettes So, after he confirmed himself that i was not making up a story, I was 'upgraded' again. Next day, at breakfast time I was politely asked to leave cos I was 'alone' in a table and they wanted the table for another party. And around 9am, as I returned from breakfast, I found housekeeping in my room. I had to pushed them out of the room cos they refused to leave. The room was not well insulated, I could hear the noise from outside eventough windows were shut and aircon was on, 2 nights of constant noise! The aircon was actually making a racket as well, so I had to turn it off after a while. All in all my 2 nights 3 days at this place was hellish to say the least.

Pros: This hotel was great in many respects: comfort, professionalism, cleanliness and great location not too far from many attractions. The Newlane street food vendors are located right outside of hotel. A very nice gentlemen as host (Shafiq) was taking comments during breakfast which was great and we would chat with him daily during our stay as he was very welcoming.

Cons: The only 2 somewhat negative points are: (1) the hotel lobby played music which was loud enough to hear in my room - this should NEVER be the case and (2) first day or two the breakfast restaurant was not able to handle to rush and was running out of tables and food. Latter was fixed with our comments but not the music issue unfortunately. Other than that, great stay (Aug 2019)!

Pros: Near shop and the hotel bell boy all very friendly

Cons: The reception not so helpful. Then the hotel lobby smells like dried chillies and room level 12 smell very temple like somebody burn something

Pros: We stayed in a family room and the children really liked the big (single) beds

Pros: Love the heritage cultural feel. Accompanied with modern facilities, the suite room was one the best I stayed. Loved the creaking floorboards whenever u walk across the room. Great location too

Pros: Characterful hotel with friendly staff and bikes available to borrow.

Cons: The roads around aren’t the best but didn’t feel unsafe even in the evenings. Breakfast is a preordered choice of 6 dishes and only served from 8 to 10 this was not clear at booking.

Pros: The staff were absolutely wonderful. So friendly yet professional. The hotel is a beautiful old building with antique furniture and fittings.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The property itself is a beautiful hotel, with original features and vintage furniture. The property is set away from the main road, within walking distance from the heritage town. Staff were welcoming and helpful. The hotel was generally very clean and prettily decorated.

Cons: The breakfast was over priced and Luke warm, not really worth the 23 ringit, especially when there are restaurants and cafes within about 15mins walk. They also didn’t have our first choice of breakfast. The bed, though respectful a vintage piece of furniture, was incredible creaky, meaning it would wake you up when you rolled over in the night. I used the ground floor bathroom after a member of staff and did not find it to be left in a very fit state for customer to use afterwards.

Pros: Lobby is nice. Staff friendly.

Cons: The name of the hotel says it all. "Museum" as in old but in this case not a collectible. Room is very small. Twin beds set on a T- angle so my feet were about three feet from the head of my companion. Room refrigerator was empty. Instant coffee in room. Air conditioner leaked. No hot water on two occasions. Location not desirable.

Pros: Pleasant and polite staff. Delivers our requests swiftly and without delay.

Pros: Most of the restaurant are near by

Cons: The bed make noise, expecially the fan, a bit dusty, they didn't clean the bathtub, can see the dust at the toilet door and the tray

Pros: Really nice choice! The room was super clean and the bed very comfortable. It is located at walking distance of all the interest points of Georgetown

Pros: great location in the old historic part of town but in a quiet area we could walk to all the clan houses and perikanan museums.Great seafood one block down authentic local and delicious less than 4 DOLLARS for main plus coffee.fascinating part of town.

Cons: LEAVING after only five days.
