The location is right across from Komtar, which is very convenient. It's a 10-minute walk to the night market and the old town. The room facilities are complete, though they show a bit of wear and tear. Also, the pathway between the first-floor lobby and the rooms intersects with the driveway, so you need the staff to guide you on how to get there (if you call a Grab, the drivers all know to drive in and make a loop, so you can wait for the car at the lobby entrance).

The hotel is compact with necessities and toiletries. They only provide two water bottles per night but there’s water dispenser at the lobby which is fine. Plus, they have a coffee machine at the lobby with some sofas. Overall, its great value for money.

I'm happy with overall stay of 4D3N here. Although its a 4-stars hotel but the location, cleaniness, hotel look & feel, hotel crews, all made me comfortable. I would make it as my favourite hotel for my next visit here again.

A pleasant experience at one of the oldest hotels in Malaysia. All the staff are professional and courteous. Location is convenient with close proximity to George Town historical district which adds to the charm of the property.

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.

I recently stayed at St. Giles Wembley Penang and had a fantastic experience! 😊 The hotel's location is unbeatable, right across KOMTAR and a short walk to Penang's famous street food. The room was clean, comfy, and the view from the 20th floor was amazing. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast spread at The Wembley Café was delicious too! Would definitely come back. 👍

Our stay at Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion (The Blue Mansion) was truly amazing. The blend of Chinese and Western architectural styles and the stunning courtyard are incredibly unique. The best part was the hotel's guided tour; we were incredibly lucky to have it led by the very person who oversaw the Blue Mansion's restoration. We learned so much about its history and restoration secrets—it was incredibly insightful! There are also adorable cats at the hotel, and petting them in the historic courtyard was incredibly therapeutic.
