Savv Hotel is not like the usual hotel, it gave us a homey and modern vibe. The room is spacious and kept very clean. The staff are all kind and friendly. Kudos to reception staff Syukur who attended to us multiple times with patience and kindness despite it was already quite late at our final night. Thank him greatly for his great service. We were also touched by Aunty May at the cafeteria who was so friendly and caring. We werent aware of the breakfast time and reached there late but she cooked for us and chatted like a friend with us. The food was also very tasty and heartwarming. The meal was a perfect wrap up to our stay. Lastly, the location is great - it's walkable distance to the tourist attraction and has a bus stop nearby. It's not in the midst of the town so it's not too noisy as well.

FAQs about hotels in Penang

A Palm-Lined Pearl

An island and part of the mainland make up the small Malaysian region of Penang, also known as the ‘pearl of the Orient’. It has long been coveted and the capital Georgetown has many elegant Colonial buildings. The observation deck of the KOMTAR tower – the tallest building – offers spectacular views of the town and surrounding mountains.

A funicular railway goes up to Penang Hill deep in the forest. Nearby Air Itam has one of Asia’s largest Buddhist temples - Kek Lok Si – lit by hundreds of lights at night. Another fantastic temple is Taoist Kong Hock Keong in Georgetown.

Penang Airport is near southern Bayan Lepas, and across the Malacca Strait is Pulau Jerejak, a peaceful island where trees merge into ocean.

In the much livelier north, Batu Feringghi is the largest resort, with lots of Penang hotels on the beach, plenty of bars and a night market. East, green mountains slope down to blue waters at Tanjung Bungah, where several high-rise hotels overlook the palm-lined beach towards the Floating Mosque just offshore.

On the mainland Butterworth is the departure point for ferries to Penang island, and has a bird park housing a large number of Malaysian species. Wherever you decide to stay, Booking.com has a fantastic range of Penang hotels and apartments to choose from.

    One is filled with a sense of history in old George Town.

    One is filled with a sense of history in old George Town. The unique "Straits Eclectic" architectural style of the myriad shophouses in various stages of disrepair and rejuvenation is awesome. We enjoyed great meals at the Firewood Restaurant and SOOD by Chef Ton with exemplary service, decor and fine food. George Town comes to life at night with plentiful bars, eateries and live music venues, both outdoors and indoors. Chulia Street, Beach Street and Love Lane are all worth visits after the sun sets. The Upside Down Museum is hilarious. And don't miss breakfast at Darling Emily on Penang Road.

    I lived in Penang for a couple of years in the early 80s, as a kid, and visited again as an adult in 1994 - Batu Ferringhi seemed to be much nicer back then. On this visit, it seemed to be lacking atmosphere - although we did find some nice restaurants. If I went to Penang again, I would be more likely to stay in a hotel in Georgetown (preferably one with a pool).

    I stayed one night in Bukit Mertajam and overall, it was a decent short stop. The town has a quiet, local charm and isn’t too busy, which made it quite relaxing. There’s not a whole lot to do, but it’s a good place if you just want to unwind or try some local food—there are definitely some hidden gems when it comes to hawker stalls and small eateries. That said, it’s not really a tourist-heavy spot, so don’t expect major attractions or much nightlife. It’s more of a laid-back, pass-through kind of town. For one night, it was okay and served its purpose as a quick rest point.

    What I liked:

    What I liked: The hotel was clean, the staff were friendly, and the location was convenient for getting around. What wasn’t the best: We stayed in a triple room, and the bathroom only had a single sliding door, which offered very little privacy. This setup felt unsuitable for multiple guests and made the stay a bit uncomfortable.

    Lift service was poor and shared with Cleaner and laundry team. Delayed the whole process of the lift service which takes 20 to 30 minutes each wait. Noisy and the wall too thin. Can hear every movement of the children jumping and their walks running screaming crying till late nights from neighbours. Toilets are dirty and too small. No closet and plates.

    I like it because it is away from the traffic of Georgetown on the one side and from touristic Batu Ferringhi on the other. A handful of decent restaurants supplement the many informal local huts, giving all levels of cost and quality for variable dining. All the local folk are courteous and kindly, though English is universally poor to incomprehensible. Excellent modern buses connect with Georgetown etc. on a frequent, low-cost service. Car hire is not expensive and a liberating device for island discovery. Pop-up Fruit stalls abound for an exotic breakfast in your hotel room or on the beach. Meridien Hotel has the cleanest beach!
