The hotel is close to the hospital. There's a delicious restaurant next door. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I got an upgrade to a family room upon check-in. Taxis are also easy to get.

My three-day stay at Macalister 288 was very comfortable. It's conveniently located near Island Hospital, my destination for my emergency room, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I was upgraded to a family room, which was more spacious. While breakfast wasn't provided, it wasn't difficult to find due to the hotel's convenient location, and the Onya restaurant next door serves delicious, affordable food. I'd definitely stay here again if I were in Penang again.

The hotel is close to Island Hospital Penang. The rooms are comfortable for resting, but the elevator is a bit small. But overall, it's okay for the price, worth it. Thank you.

Overall, everything was good. The location is strategic, and it's close to the hospital of choice. The only downside is the elevator, which can accommodate three people and is very slow. Otherwise, no complaints.

(+) Friendly staff, can speak English, can leave luggage after check out, clean room, cold AC, right next to a really nice restaurant. (-) The elevator can't fit many people (3 people) and so the wait is long.
