Top Chinatown Hotel Reviews

PARKROYAL Penang Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel in a central location,Delicious breakfast and buffet. Staff try hard to please. Very pleasant staff."

Muntri Grove

10/10 Excellent

"A stunning property. From the high ceilings, beautiful woodwork and antiques to the rooftop pool. A small and intimate hotel with lovely staff. Tucked down a small roadway, it's right in the heart of the action and secluded at the same time. Great location! When arriving by ferry, it isn't very far to walk on the map, however, the traffic and crowded sidewalks would make the wheelie bag treck very hard in the heat. We decided on a taxi. Taxi driver told us it's a standard 20 for any trip. There is a free bus you can take from the ferry (CAT bus) which does a loop of the city and stops at stop 7, one short block from the hotel. Beware it gets very crowded. If you have data, of course use Grab. 24 hr convenience store close on the main road. As with most in Asia, the bed is extremely firm. "
