George Town hotels near Sri Mariamman Temple

Pros: The variety of breakfast choice of food

Pros: Very good experience since this is a Heritage Building Hotel (luxury category hotel), 1st being built after Raffled Hotel in Singapore.

Cons: The 1st impression of this hotel was "Luxury" as it was being built by Sarkies brothers -similar to the well known Raffles Hotel, Singapore. Somehow I feel disappointed based on below what I have observed. Positives 1. Lobby: In-deep it was impressive considering that this is a very exclusive hotel. Very Grand looking lobby 2. Guestroom: Very much impressive, heritage design and spacious Negatives 1. Butler Service: I don't really can recall what sort of butler service they have provided except some information sharing provided by the reception. I would have expect more example walk through with guest what they can expect. 2. Cornwallis: My impression is that this is similar to Executive Lounge access which include canapes, evening cocktails. Although it is provided, however I don't see that wide selection. I would consider the canapes and drinks are more catered to Western Guests. From my experience, most international hotels does have good selection of Canapes (western and Asian), Cocktails & Mocktails. We have also noticed the lounge do not provide drinks, coffee tea through out the day. My encounter was the lounge was empty (without any staff) when we arrived at around 4plus in the afternoon. On top of that,our very 1st day - the lounge was overcrowded. I might be wrong as I left after that. 3. Minibar: I assume that the hotel can be more flexible on replenishing the drinks regularly instead of once every day. Even snacks in the jar is pathetic, you can literally counts the numbers of chips inside the Jar considering that the rate we are paying for :( 4. Breakfast: Not much of variety (mostly western cuisine) example danish pastry, croissants, toast bread, some selection of salads, cold cuts and a la carte menu (about 7-8 items) out of which, one items is Nasi Lemak (asian cuisine). Other than that, for an asian, this may be too contraints.

Pros: We enjoyed staying in the heritage part of the hotel. It really did feel like going back in time. The suite was very comfortable with everything you'd expect from a hotel of this level. The staff in front of house were extremely helpful.

Cons: The pool in the heritage section was closed for our entire stay. However the pool at the victory wing was pleasant and not too far to walk. The gym in the heritage section has little in the way of cardio equipment but again, there is a full range in the gym in the other section.

Pros: The 6th floor terrace restaurant in the Annex building overlooking the sea; this was a wonderful location for a peaceful breakfast. The terrace pool was also fine even if the water was a little cool at New Year. Intending guests need to consider whether to book into the Annex or the recently restored Heritage wing since each gives access to different facilities. We were happy in the Annex but we got the impression that the hotel management is now emphasizing the Heritage wing.

Cons: Room service was sometimes approximate: absence of hand towels on two separate days and no bath mat on a third.

Pros: Location, history of the property, very good service

Pros: Location , service and food all excellent .

Pros: Nice room

Cons: None

Pros: Staff very friendly and helpful

Cons: Taxi drivers at the hotel try to take advantage of tourists.

Cons: I wish the in room dining menu would be more extensive. There was a very less choice for in room dining considering my parents can't walk to the restaurant.

Pros: Service was exceptional - the staff really cared about our welfare.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Superb location, wonderful staff, excellent renovation in the heritage wing.

Pros: Breakfast good

Cons: lunch and dinner poor

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

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

Pros: Nice, spacious and clean room. Good facilities (specifically pool/fitness) and good location close to the historic centre of Georgetown. Breakfast buffet with ample choices catering for Asian and European guests alike. Good to experiment a bit with less common breakfast options...

Cons: It got a bit crowded during breakfast on some days (this is obviously owed to the size of the place and they do warn guests and advise on when it is less crowded - which is unfortunately early in the morning :-)).

Pros: Comfortable, cozy, not very spacious room, quiet, partly with sea-view. All was working well. Wifi good. Nice pool. Along a noisy road, but still short walking distance to the old town and cafes, eatieries, pubs.

Cons: Don't get misleaded by the pictures. This is NOT really a hisorical heritage hotel like the Easter & Oriental. Only the facade (this is not the entry) is historical. All the rest is a typical modern hotel . Therefore it may not really justify the higher price one may pay for heritage hotels compared with moderb hotels Additional breakfast would have been 36 RM, there are much better options in Georgetown for ex. The kopitiam around the corner is a better option. The bar is nice and only place which will remind you that this should be a heritage hotel. But bar was deserted, no customers at 2 evenings.

Pros: Locationwasjustontheedgeofthemaincentre.Largeroomswithgoodbathrooms. Breakfastwasverygoodwithanexcellentchoiceoffoodrangingfromcontinentaltocurryandriceandsushi.Theonlydownsidewasthatduetotheconfigurationofthediningroomandthenumberofguests,itwaquiteameleetryingtogetserved.

Pros: Comfort , architecture and history of the building

Cons: The view , it's mentioned as a city view but arriving there it's more a parking view

Pros: Location x 3. Walking distance to all heritage locations. Great Nasi Lemak stall just outside the hotel in the food court fronting the main entrance.

Cons: The breakfast sucks. Small spread and horrible. Luckily, Penang is all about the food that is not in the hotel (especially this one).

Pros: Great staff - very polite

Pros: Location was great, and there were ample carpark lots. Loved the nutmeg drink at the lobby. Would also like to compliment Miss Zeina (cannot remember the correct spelling) at the reception who went the extra mile to check on Penang Hill for us and even called our room to update on the status. Also, Miss Linda at the cafe was also very attentive throughout our breakfast there. The service staff even helped my mum cook the noodles.

Cons: Lighting in our bathroom was alittle dark, but it was not too bad. Lifts look dated and could do with some revamp

Pros: Comfort and friendly staff. Nice beds and flexibility of staff to combine the 2 booked rooms. This facilitated us to stay in Georgetown as a family.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Returned here , furniture maintenance could be better. Staff who checks in/out was good kind enough to give a little extension. Breakfast could have been been better like how it was. Other than that stay was fine.

Cons: Good. Nothing extreme.

Pros: Very accommodating front desk. Quick and efficient check in. Quiet rooms and brightly lit corridors. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Being a city hotel, rooms might be a bit on the small side. Great location with malls and small eateries around.

Cons: Bathroom is not good enough , the glass partition to shower does not prevent water flowing all over bathroom The mattress needs replacement , felt like sleeping in a well because mattress has no stiffness left in the middle Hotel collected more than specified amount in booking.com confirmation , hotel stated that child breakfast is not covered even though the booking.com confirmation mail stated that the booking amount includes child

Pros: Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Pros: We loved everything! The room, the pool, the staff! Will definitely be back.

Pros: Good but it is an old building

Cons: An old building

Pros: Location is good

Cons: Dated furniture and facilities. Not much in terms of F&B outlets

Pros: Location is good . Beds are neat and reasonably comfortable. They have been kind enough to provide us an interconnecting rooms that was great. sound from the nightclub downstairs was a bit disturbing .. Security staff at the front gate were excellent and guiding us to get a grab or taxi...

Cons: The rooms lacked proper airconditioning. We stayed for 2 nights, despite complaining about AC nonfunctioning, they hardly bothered to respond or fix..

Pros: Good location, an easy walk to china town and little india. The airconditioning was excellent.

Cons: This is the quality of a two star hotel with the facilities of a four star hotel. The walls were paper thin so you could hear EVERYTHING everyone around you said. We were on the 9th floor and could hear road traffic easily. There was mold in the bathroom, dust on every surface in the room, and plenty of chips in the paint on every piece of furniture. The interior of the entire hotel was quite run down. Breakfast was exceptionally expensive and the quality was far below what you would expect from a hotel, especially one in Penang.

Pros: Great location, friendly stuff.

Cons: Old interior, less comfort.

Pros: The staff were helpful. When I checked in the room I was given had a strong smell of bleach emanating from the bathroom. I requested a room change and was immediately moved to another room. I also accidentally locked myself out once and reception provided me a new key card free of charge to once again access my room. This is a nice hotel that is quite central and close to the touristy part of Georgetown as well as the Esplanade in the north. Breakfast was quite a spread.

Cons: The room was unusually large! There was an open space in there that could have fitted an entire queen bed. That was very, very unusual. The bathroom was a bit dated too (but clean) and lacked any form of a working air vent as far as I could tell.
