I highly recommend it, and if I ever come back to George Town, I would definitely stay here again. "

Top Little India Hotel Reviews

Royale Chulan Penang

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast great, but the exhaust fan was weak; the breakfast area a bit smelly"

Cheong Fatt Tze - The Qing Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning rooms, excellent breakfasts, and a great overall atmosphere. The breakfasts were generous, healthy, and delicious, with the bread and specialty butters being particular standouts. The design and finishes throughout the property show real care and attention to detail. The one thing that felt slightly off was the service style. The staff were polite and friendly, but seemed overly reserved and lacking confidence. We were also given a very detailed room briefing on arrival. As it was late and we were tired, a shorter introduction would have been more appropriate, as some of the information felt unnecessary. A beautiful property overall, with just a few refinements needed in the guest experience."

Yeng Keng Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely heritage-style hotel in the middle of Chulia St. While it's close to all the action, it's also an oasis of calm inside. The pool is small but nice to have (and rare for a heritage hotel). We spent three nights here and on arrival were told that the original room we were booked had been overbooked, but comms via Expedia hadn't come through in advance, so we were downgraded to a Courtyard room, which turned out to be slightly bigger and more comfortable than expected from other reviews. As compensation we were offered the final night in the suite, which was absolutely lovely - I could easily have spent a week in there! Staff were incredibly nice, thoughtful, helpful and kind. Breakfast was so-so - while the buffet was not the most appealing, there were also omelettes made to order, and you're not short of every kind of food option around the neighbourhood anyway."
