The host was friendly and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp. Self check-in and check-out was convenient. The location is near convenience stores, food places, and even a laundromat. The place is also near USM, so it's good for anyone staying just for a while to attend a conference. If there is anything you need, you can chat with the host. I recommend this place 👍.

I like its situation, very close and strategic to main attractions in Georgetown. The design is a combination of the authentic classic vibe and simple modern ones. The living rooms are very comfortable, and if you are lucky, you will meet new friends for a variety of conversations. Take your time for relaxing here.

I had few tiny hiccups during check in but the friendly and attentive staff made it all a lot easier. Had a great view. The avatar garden just next to the hotel made my stay a lot more special. Even the car park uncle was super friendly and kind. Great place for affordable price. Definitely staying here again.

Tune Hotel Georgetown Penang

I had a wonderful stay at Tune Hotel Georgetown! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome with their warm smiles and helpful attitude. They were always ready to assist, and their awareness of guests’ needs was impressive. The location is absolutely strategic—it’s right in the heart of Georgetown, close to local eateries, cultural sites, and convenience stores, which made getting around super easy. The hotel itself is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering great value for money. I especially appreciated the comfortable bed, strong Wi-Fi, and overall cozy atmosphere. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly stay without sacrificing comfort, convenience, and service, I highly recommend Tune Hotel Georgetown. Definitely be coming back!

Hotel Sentral Georgetown @ City Centre

This is my favorite place, I will for sure stay here every time I come to Penang. The location is near New Lane street market, several options of minimarkets, dim sum place, pharmacies, and durians. The staff is friendly and helpful, the room is clean, and all amenities are provided. They have service for those who are coming to Penang for medications, they provide free shuttle from and to several hospitals, and allow early check-in or late check-out if you still need time to complete your visit with your doctors.
