Great location! Inside the UNESCO heritage zone, lots of local eateries nearby, public transportation and other attractions. Great budget-friendly option in the heart of Penang! The hotel decor is a little dated but overall nice and clean, with comfortable beds.

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!

Accommodation value for money

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.

Good value

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.

This place is old and outdated.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.

Alot of renovation works needs to be done!

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.

Too noisy and disgusting lack of hygiene

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.

Room good, but too many problems

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.
