Penang Island, Malaysia hotel rooms at the Independent

"Stayed for 3 nights with my mom to celebrate her birthday. We've visited Penang multiple times and have been trying out different hotels. This is by far one of the best and, in terms of value for price paid, this is the best! Location is great, just a stroll away from 1st Avenue mall which meets our shopping needs. And the hotel has daily morning shuttles to our favourite breakfast haunts! Though it's only a short Grab ride away, every dollar saved is every dollar available for shopping :) The staff team is great too, from the bellhop to the receptionist, all smiley and friendly. A big shout out to Wardina for arranging for a birthday surprise for my mum! Thanks so much! We had the one bedroom suite which has more than ample space for both of us. The room is very clean with very comfortable beds. Shower pressure is also excellent! Will defintely stay here again without any hesitation. Thanks again!!!"

"Overall was a great experience from the staff to the beautiful ambiance of the hotel! So clean and aesthetically pleasing, thank you!"
