The property is quite old but room and facilities are well maintained. The room is clean and spacious, and all the equipment work well. Staff are friendly and helpful. Location is very convenient with lots of food options in the vicinity, and there’s a pharmacy and a 7-Eleven outlet in front of the hotel. Breakfast quality is good, considering its reasonable price.

We had a wonderful stay there. After checking out, we accidentally left a pair of shoes behind. The staff kindly contacted us to let us know and kept them safe until we were able to collect them. We truly appreciated their honesty and excellent service.

Stayed at St. Giles Wembley Penang and had a pleasant, comfortable stay. First, cleanliness is well up to standard. The room was tidy upon check-in, bedding and bathroom were spotless, and common areas like the lift lobby and pool deck are regularly maintained. It feels hygienic and well-kept, which is the baseline expectation for a city hotel. The location is the standout advantage. Situated on Jalan Magazine right in the heart of George Town, you’re literally minutes away from authentic local food. Walk 5–10 minutes and you’ll hit popular hawker streets, traditional kopitiams and well-known local restaurants – perfect if eating your way through Penang is your main plan. Komtar and nearby malls are also within walking distance for convenience. The hotel itself is decent, nothing overly fancy but fully functional and comfortable for leisure stays. It’s a reliable, good-value option for anyone prioritising location and cleanliness. Recommended for short leisure trips to Penang.

Very clean and new. Great value for the price. Good location. Just the shower water overflows out of the shower area and makes the whole bathroom floor wet but its not too big and issue.

Location was great, less than 10 mins walk to Chinatown. Hotel is quite new and modern, offered great views of the city with a beautiful rooftop pool. There is rooftop gym too, though small but was sufficient for a workout. The room was very clean and well equipped, comfy bedding, water pressure from shower was great. Staff were friendly and helpful, will recommend this hotel.

More about George Town hotels

Quick snapshot of staying in George Town

Stays in George Town range from very affordable budget rooms to distinctly pricier luxury options, with the top end about 4.2 times more expensive than the cheapest. The best balance between cost and comfort tends to be the premium tier, which offers strong value for most travellers.

How the hotel classes compare and who they suit

Economy options sit well below the city average and suit travellers prioritising price above all else. Standard rooms step up from economy with more comfort for a modest increase in cost and will fit most casual travellers. The premium tier represents the clearest sweet spot before the biggest price jump — it offers noticeably better quality and is the best-value choice for many visitors. Moving from premium to luxury is the largest leap, and luxury is aimed at travellers ready to pay substantially more for top-end accommodation.

When travellers book and which months to pick

Travellers typically book around eight days in advance, with more advance planning common in the priciest months and some flexibility possible for last-minute stays. Rates are lowest in 2026-01 and highest in 2026-05; if you’re budget-led, plan for a trip in 2026-01 when nightly rates tend to be cheaper.
