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

Overview of staying in George Town

Staying in George Town spans a modest price range: the priciest rooms run roughly four times the cost of the most affordable. The best balance between comfort and value tends to be in the premium tier, which is where most travellers find the strongest return for their spend.

How hotel classes compare and who they suit

Economy options sit at the bottom of the scale and are the most budget-friendly choice for travellers prioritising low nightly costs. Standard rooms step up from economy and suit those who want a bit more comfort without a large price jump. The premium tier represents the sweet spot for many visitors, offering noticeably better rooms and value compared with the two lower tiers. The biggest price leap comes when moving from premium into luxury, so upgrading to luxury is the main decision point for travellers considering a significantly more premium experience.

When travellers from the Philippines book

Rates are typically lowest in January and highest in May, with January being the best month for a budget-led trip. Rooms here are often booked only a few days ahead—typical bookings are made about five days in advance—so plans can remain fairly flexible, though travellers sometimes secure rooms earlier up to around three weeks ahead.
