Top George Town Hotel Reviews

The Prestige Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying at The Prestige. We mainly went back for the Spa and the room. I liked the water pressure and also they have filtered water tap in the room so I can refill my bottle. The room is very spacious and comfortable for two pax, however the carpets do have some stains but not too obvious. The staff are all very friendly and they remembered our names and always made the effort to greet us. The location is very convenient, you can get to most of the famous food places in less than 5 mins via grab. Also quite happy that Bei Gong Cha bubble tea shop is at the hotel! Easy BBT fix! Don’t need to order Chagee. The pool was under maintenance when we went the 2nd time, also the gym a bit small so didn’t use it. Overall, I’ll definitely stay again !"
