Bad customer service in penang

The room is hot in day time & air cond is not working properly. The man at the reception refused to change the room and told us all the room are the same.He give us another room card to keep the air cond running while we go out for dinner. After 3 hours, we come back and the room is still warm. The night shift staff speak foul language when we ask to change to another room. Also he trick us to go up and down 3 times to change the card/pouch/breakfast coupon tjen change another room for.us. We have over 20 years experience of travelling and never see something like this before. We should tell everyone we know that penang should not be on yr list of travel

GOOG location but very poor maintenance

Near bus terminal and the old city yet away from main hustle. Breakfast food and service good. But the cleaning very bad: I asked for room cleaning once only in 5 days but nothing was cleaned: not the bathroom, nor the tables and glasses; they only changed the sheets and towels. As for the guy at the reception, he was a real useless jerk, making mistakes all the time: wrong dates on my breakfast tickets and failing to extend my stay as I had requested, and never ever apologizing.

Worse hotel ever

I haven't checked in the hotel, when I arrived the hotel they said sorry we don't have any rooms available and they sent me to another hotel nearby called Hotel19 . The hotel 19 was worse than you imagine, they give me room in 4th floor (410) and the elevator was out of service. I have check out and till now I am waiting for my refund.

good city location

Hotel in very well located. Can not be better. 2 min. walk to Jetty bus station. All local busses start there. Every sight is within walking distance. Breakfast is eather toast, egg and beens (asians loved it) or nasi lemak (rice, boiled eg and hot sauce) which i prefered. Once they forgot to clean our room, we complained. And than they done it. Wifi is acceptable but sometimes we had problems.

Very comfortable bed and huge toilet and shower booth. But check in service is extremely slow, you gotta eat out something to wait check in done. Receptionist didnt say about taking a receiept, i had a trouble to get back my 50 rm deposit. After checking 2 garbage bags by my hands, still i couldnt find my receipt.

Budget but not bad

We chose this hotel because it is close to everything in Georgetown. This was a nostalgic trip for this old R.A.A.F.-ie. Not much has changed in 50 years in this part of Penang. Walk from the ferry terminal. A block from the Weld where you will find Mamu Kopitiam - great restaurant - say Hi to Anuar - best coffee, best Nasi Lemak. Walk a couple of blocks the other way to Little India in Chulia St for Roti, or to get money changed or buy tickets to Haat Yai on a mini van. The hotel staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is served downstairs and the chef remembers your preferences and starts preparing as soon as he sees you walk in. This is a budget hotel - so don't expect everything perfect. The beds were comfortable. We eventually got a great shower once the hot water was made to work.
