This place is old and outdated.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.

The single biggest selling point of this hotel is the guarded
car park.

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
0.5
Hotel is opposite a night club so sleeping isn’t an option without ear plugs and even then it remains difficult to sleep. We had visits from hundreds of ants and several cockroaches in our room… gross. Also, the “security guard” seems to be friendly with the men who sleep on the floor just in front of the hotel so you will get strange looks and feel very uncomfortable at night coming in and out of hotel. 0/10 absolutely do not recommend.

Friendly and helpful staff, however, the Internet was extremely poor.
1.0
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

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.

Reception staff very friendly, always with a big smile and helpful. Very clean and spacious. Only setback is you have to go to the 6th floor to collect your hairdryer and flask in order to have hot water for making drinks. Bring own shampoo coz they supply bath foam only.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
