Ren I Tang Heritage Inn

George Town

Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. This was really a flawless hotel. I was looking for a heritage hotel and this fit the bill. Stand outs were the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, all of them! The location, the breakfast which offered perfect variety without being an overwhelming buffet, the rooms, the coffee machine and cleanliness were all excellent.

M Social Resort Penang 4 stars

George Town

Located along Tanjung Bungah Beach, M Social Resort Penang offers accommodations in Penang. It features an outdoor swimming pool and guests can enjoy meals at the in-house restaurant. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Great experience as we were the first and only guests in the soft-opening phase of the Hotel. Nice pool area with great views (just wondering why they were constructing the pool not even more "infinity"), same for the breakfast room. Very nice staff, they took great care of us. Cosy room. Of course there is noisy work going on but we had a good time.

Le Dream Boutique Hotel is 150 metres from Upside Down Museum and Dark Mansion - 3D Glow In The Dark Museum.

Was definitely the best hotel we stayed in Malaysia. -Super clean, daily room cleaning, comfortable bed/pillows, all the amenities etc. -Location was perfect! 5 min from the bus station and 5 minutes from the center. -MOST IMPORTANT: the staff was actually human and caring. Each interaction we had (laundry, questions etc) was perfectly taken care of, and they actually seemed to genuinely care (which is difficult to see in Malaysia) -Would not doubt in staying again
