The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. The location is close to Island Hospital. There's a restaurant downstairs, and the food is delicious. The rooms are clean. Overall, the hotel is okay.

It's a right decision to stay at Macalister 288 when I'm in Penang for 3 days. It's near to Island Hospital. The room was so clean, comfortable, and there's a free flow water dispenser. Just right below the hotel, there's 2 restaurants that was so good also, my favorite one is Onya.

This is my first experience staying at Macalister 288, a medical trip and I stayed overnight from Thursday to Tuesday, initially our room was upgraded to a family room type without any additional charge, the room was comfortable and clean even without a balcony, in the last two days I moved to a deluxe room with a balcony which was equally comfortable and clean even though the only problem was the unique lift that had to be taken turns but there were also stairs that were quite helpful in the middle of the hallway to access 2 very delicious places to eat, a pleasant experience when I went to Penang I will return to Macalister 228 hopefully the cleanliness of each room and its comfort will be maintained.

The elevator takes a while, but the location is very strategic. The walls are thin, so you can sometimes hear conversations in the next room.

The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, there are 2 restaurants next to the lobby, the hotel location is strategic near the Island Hospital, for culinary it is not too far, 5 to 10 minutes by Grab.

The location is close to Island Hospital, only 5 minutes walk. The room is clean and quite spacious. The amenities are complete. Downstairs there is Kia Kopitiam. Must try! Really delicious for breakfast.

I booked a room with a balcony, but I got a room without a balcony at the back with a view of the parking lot and trash 🥲. Although I got a bigger room, I hope next time I will be given a room with a balcony as per my booking.
