No kettle ,noisy nightclub nearby and many mosques close by calls to prayers are very loud. The hotel is close to eating places
Its an older establishment so definitely not modern. However the rooms are large, great view, good beds, AC, fridge. I will return here for sure.

Near the Nasi Kandar Restoran, Easy to walkable. Need to improve for the Iron place (Put I floor for one iron). Please change the torn toilet curtain. The family room is big.
Too bad, no hairdryer and electric kettle provided.
This place is old and outdated. Bring your in house slippers, carpet is very old and stained. Clean in the sense that no roaches or other insects. Bathroom was updated with newer tiles but There are still some mold around the sink area.. don’t understand why they don’t remove it.
Rooms ant nice and clean. Location is great with lots of places to eat and also entertainment
Everthing is awlesome about the property. I'll make sure that I'd stay there when I go to Penang and surely to recommend to my relatives and friends
Very old furniture
The single biggest selling point of this hotel is the guarded car park.
light sleepers take heed
good location right near love lane. nice big room, decent bed and love the wetroom style bathroom. pack ear plugs if your a light sleeper, I was on 7th floor but music from bar outside was prominent
Vintage style hotel, wooden furnitures, everything was fine for a stay. Location is good. Recommend to visit nearby cafe: Forest Cloud
Fixed the shower which wasnt draining. Helpful. A cleaner took my phone charger cable. By accident?
Very near to chowrasta and walking distance to restaurants and shopping area. Parking no a problem most of the time
The room was so nice and the staff were very cooperativr
Friendly and helpful staff, however, the Internet was extremely poor.
Room good, but too many problems
The room itself was fine. Large, and with views over the city. But ... The shower was only lukewarm. The TV had only 5 channels, none were English language. The fridge was wired into the same circuit as the lights, so it turned off when I removed the key to leave the room. When I returned at the end of the day, all the stuff in the fridge was warm, and also sitting in a pool of water because the icebox had defrosted. The aircon turned itself off every few hours for no apparent reason, requiring a manual reset.
All is good
Good value
Very correct, everything ok, it's not luxury but a casual hotel which needs may be some refreshment a bit outdate. I would suggest to choose a room facing the harbour and the sea, opposite the main entrance because on the other side you will hear the sound boom boom boom, infra bass from the nightclub across the street 'till 2 am at least. I was there during the week so I can't say for the we.
No ac above 8th floor
Television not functioning . No coffee/Tea and boiling pot . No Aircond at the reception floor Why Rm 2 tax add on daily ?. All Staff are very helpful and polite.Reply what can you improve my previous stay since December 2021. None improvement ?.
Only some rooms light not very bright
Good
But parking still have problem due the parking in charge no properly reserve place parking
Good location good price
Oriental Hotel is in the middle of George Town, everything there is within a walking distance, clean and neat. The front desk lady, Pheylliiezz, was welcoming and friendly and most helpful with tons of info about town. Will stay there again. Thank you very much!
Alot of renovation works needs to be done!
It is one of the oldest hotel but the bathroom and room flooring are well done. TV set only limited to 2 channels as the rest of channels are mute and very poor quality transmission etc. Limited amenities on a small fridge n 2 bottles of water no boiler for hot water. Cupboard in room very dull n old only did paint works to look new but dusty n dirty.
Ok
Location
Hotel Oriental in George Town Penang is totally run down. No warm water supplied. Bathroom curtain can see through from outside. Only one single power plug available in each room. I won't recommend this hotel to friends and relatives!
parking is available but parking guards for outsiders by taking payment, that's why the end to the hotel can not park. When asked the hotel manager they said who came first he could park the car but they did not know that the car parking guard for outsiders with payment.Paking guard needs to change.Better don't come this hotel if attitude it no change.
Good room..near by city
Great place to stay – I can easily walk to the heritage sites. I am a foodie and I love being able to walk to the best Penang food outlets and then go shopping! I find the hotel nice and clean – the room looks renovated because it has nice modern air conditioning, bathroom and floor. The staff was very helpful in giving me directions.
My room was big and clean with great views. Love the air conditioning and modern bathroom. Location wise was excellent – easy to get to food outlets and tourist spots. I was also able to walk to local shops and a shopping mall. Staff were friendly too. I would come back again.
Very dirty, the carpet is full of dust.
Central location Frindly staff. Well worth the price. I'd stay again
Good value for money
5-15 mins walk to most things we wanted to check out in Georgetown area. Really good price and in a safe building with 24-hour friendly front desk. Downsides: quite noisy at night cos it’s located in a busy/ lively area; the room is basic with a few issues (broken lightbulbs, very thin towels). You need your own shampoo and shower gel. Overall good value for the money.
No extra small electrical appliances provided such as kettle, iron & etc
SO MANY COCKROACHES IN THE T ROOM! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! Ana the aircon IS NOT WORKING! when asked the receptionist they say the aircon is normal! WORST HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED!
The location is good. Clean & comfortable.
worth the value
Disappointed
Damn hot the whole night with no cold air from the air cond. No shower gel & shampoo provided. No breakfast provided but shown inclusive breakfast while make booking. .
Price is reasonable for a family room. Recently renovated. Like the new outlook of toilet. Only thing is sometimes noise from night activities along Penang road is quite annoying.
Always happy at Oriental Hotel!
I am always happy to stay at Oriental Hotel. All the staff, from the front desk to the room maintenance, are courteous, efficient, and friendly. The place is clean and well-maintained, view from window is great! My favorite things about the room are the calm colors and decor, large refrigerator, and a real desk with chair, much appreciated by those of us using laptops!
in future kindly provide prayer mat (sejadah) for Muslim since this is Malaysia. put at the counter will do so we can just request from you. the room was spacious, bed was comfy, bathroom was clean and spacious. nice view & shower. got limited private parking on 1st come 1st serve basis just opposite the hotel. surrounded by food, very near to rapid penang bus stop & can get the free rapid bus from there. the lack of this hotel just no wifi in my room and can hear loud music from nearby club until 3am. after all, we had a great stay here.
Nice hotel
Noisy at nights, no phone in room, bed lining old , need upgrade.
Old hotel but nice because they already upgrade their facilities. No need to use vehicle to find attraction and food. My family love it.
cant sleep well due to the noisy and loud speaker from arena clubbing which is just opposite of the hotel.. the music base cause the window feel like shaking and breaking
Had a great stay here, the bed was comfy, the bathroom was clean, and the room was quite spacious. But most importantly, EVERYTHING is accessible by foot here, be it food stalls, restaurants, tourist attractions, which made my stay even more enjoyable. There is also a parking space provided for hotel guests, whis is a very big plus.
Hotel surrounded by eateries of various varieties.
The staffs are no good.When I cheked in,3 front desk staffs pushing each other right infront of me in possessing my checking in. One even tell the other "do your work la"....
Don’t do it at any cost. There is bugs everywhere and managment refuses to acknowledge it. Please use your money somewhere else.
Close to everything
Great location, close to everything except maybe the beach, food is everywhere, shops is everywhere and public transportation and attractions is very near. Hotel is old school but the staff and location compensate that. Internet is very very weak .
Value for money
The hotel building and furniture are old and not use to it on the first day. But the room is spacious and staffs are friendly. Big value for money.
The front line staff at reception friendly
I ask for top up liquid soap on my 2 night for shower but, was turn down and given a small bar of soap by the 2nd shift staff
Location is good, hotel need do some renovation
The room look old, need do some renovation. No remote control for TV, Air Con take quite a while to become cold. Wifi was slow.
convenient
Comfortable
Overall was okay.
Overall the stay was okay. The staffs were quite nice and friendly. The room was in moderate condition, not dirty but not very clean. It was abit hard to get drinking water as it does not provide kettle, we had to get the drinking water from another floor. Parking space was not sufficient, we had to park outside the parking space and pay the parking fees ourselves.
Strategic and accessible to other places
Always have a comfortablr snd non hassle stay in this hotel
Fair
Oriental hotel
Old hotel but still comfort n riable price
Good stay....
Overall it was good.....
It was a brief stay and pleasent trip with a comfort hotel
Average hotel
The hotel maybe not enough staff, we serve ourselves to get water. But, it is not bad to us, as we able to get the water as many as we want! One of the room, the spring of the bed was broken and we couldn't slept well. Room is clean but too old.
Worth the stay
Short business stay. Good location in Georgetown. It was an old hotel but still well maintained. The room I got is quite spacious & even has a bath tub in the bathroom. Furniture is a bit old but since I was there just for 1 night, I had no complains. Value for money.
nicely and fun
Very comfortable and very friendly front staff.
trip to Penang, Malaysia.
this hotel too old, but the serounding quite ok. A lot of foods to eat.
Speechless
I went here for a business trip. Long story cut shorts, what I seen in photos is NOT what i see in the hotel itself. Their hotel services is average. Hotel condition is very bad. Because I've arranged to sleep one floor above the construction floor. The hygiene, forget it. Conclusion, will be last time check-in this hotel.
fair rate with big room and good location
Location near food centre,easy transportion
good location and fair values
good location and fair values

Being rated 2 star is seriously overrated!!
Booked and paid (even specially requested) for non smoking floor and given a smoking floor. The receptionist just don't bother about my concern on smoking floor and just mentioned that it's first come first served. The room condition is poor with the bed, toilet, fridge, etc were all darn old. Felt eerie entering the room. The door knob to the room came out and it took a few hours for them to decide to give me another room. I would recommend to top up another 100 for a much better room with better facilities and service.
Decent and well kept
Decent hotel. Old but well maintained except for the surrounding area. Got RM30 car park summon although valid parking coupons were displayed on my car's dashboard - and on Sunday morning!! All hail MPPP!
hotel can not be rated as 3 star
Stay for 4 nights.only room 807 satisfactory but too cold. Some rooms no shower curtain. no slipper and i have to buy it myself.
No shampoo or body lotion
