Top Kek Lok Si Temple Hotel Reviews

Ascott Gurney Penang

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay!!"

OZO George Town Penang

8/10 Good

"Couldn’t ask for a better location! OZO is located in the heart of George Town and it is so close to many restaurants and cafes. 7-11 is just a stone’s throw away; as well as a self service laundromat. The room is kept clean everyday and the staffs are so kind and helpful. Breakfast buffet is definitely worth it- the menu changes all the time so no boring food there. The only thing lacking were the in-room amenities. For a hotel that is rated at least 4 stars, I would have expected it to at least have conditioner and shaver in the toilet. However, everything else makes up for it. Will I stay at OZO again? Absolutely."

The Millen Penang, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful, new hotel with wonderfully helpful staff. Rahul at breakfast and the rest of his team were especially nice. Offering takeaway items without us having to ask which was a nice touch. Location was really good but we loved Penang as a whole anyway. Message wasn't the best but can't fault anything else with the hotel. Nice poolside too, would definitely return."

DeView Hotel Penang

8/10 Good

"The stay was rather disappointing. It used to be an amazing hotel when i first visited many years ago. But after the name change, the standards dropped. "

Eythrope Boutique Villa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 4 days enjoying the kind and thoughtful hospitality provided by Brendan Hamid and Hamada. The recently restored bungalow was fully equipped, very comfortable and had lovely touches like a library of recent books on Penang history its buildings and gardens, flora and fauna. We stayed in a large room on the ground floor which was spotless. The views from the balcony of Georgetown and Butterworth were wonderful. The hotel is very conveniently located close to the Penang Hill funicular station, restaurants and cafes. The Eythrope was an excellent base for an extremely enjoyable relaxed stay on Penang Hill. "
