BETEL NUT LODGE

Stayed here for 2 nights and the service was beyond amazing! Thank you to the owner and staff for being so kind and generous during our stay, providing chrysanthemum tea and tidbits even when we didn't ask! Will definitely be returning whenever I'm back in Penang.

We saw the good reviews but were still pleasantly surprised by how wonderful this lodge is! We stayed in the Frangipani room with two single beds. It was small but had everything we needed and was very clean. The AC worked very well. The street is not touristy and overall was quiet but had several places to eat across the street for breakfast/lunch. We booked directly on their website which I highly recommend for the best value, and they even included a small breakfast with local toast and jam, and tea. Every afternoon we came back to rest and they gave us tea and a sweet treat. Such a special place.

We had a pleasant stay here. The owners/staff were very hospitable, accommodating, friendly and very helpful. Our room was cleaned daily (by default) with fresh flowers (mostly orchids grown by the owner himself) to perk up the room. The Teaffin Cafe downstairs is where we could relax and have a good cuppa with cakes/pastries. Location is close to many local eateries. Should you need anything, just ask them and they will try their best to help/accommodate your request. Would we come back and stay again? YES, we definitely will!! Thank you Cheah, KC and staff of Betel Nut for a wonderful stay!

Great hospitality. Clean. Super comfy bed. Strategic location. The cafe is a perfect workspace, with soft jazz music in the background and drink for order. The match latte is nice. Welcome tea was a nyonya kuih, real pandan 😋! Installed with a soundproofing window, and it's on the quieter street, very few noise at night. Be mindful that the establishment does not receive children below certain ages. It's the right move to keep the tranquillity of other guests.Not suitable for elderly with knee problem. If you arrive with a car on the weekend, time yourself after 3, it's easier to find street parking.

The manager was incredible, a fantastic host, very welcoming. He provided great information on restaurants and events. Please follow his recommendations, you won't regret it! The staff was great, so helpful. |The hotel has a boutique character charm to it, and is situated at an excellent location, walking distance to food night markets, nice restaurants, museums and more. |My room was comfortable and clean. Everyday, it was nice coming back to my room after a long day of sightseeing and finding fresh cut flowers and receiving a complimentary hot tea with a treat. Magnifique! ||I highly recommend Betel Nut Lodge, and will definitely come back when I'm in George Town.

Room basic, location is ok. My wife forgot her compact but the hotel refused to check further. The room is too dark.

Stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Penang. This place is located in an old colonial building in the historical center. Most of Georgetown attractions are within walking distance. The room was just average but comfortable. The hospitality of the staff was great. The manager greeted me with recommendations and a map marked with the best stops. There would be fresh flowers in my room everyday and the staff brought me complimentary afternoon tea. I am happy that I stayed here!

We had a wonderful stay. It's very well located, the rooms are comfy and have everything you need and the lodge is nicely decorated with antiques showing a glimpse of the history of the building. They just opened a cafe in the common area where they serve excellent coffee and delicious cakes. Finally, the manager was very welcoming. He is a very well educated man and he seems to know most if not all of the restaurants in the area so be sure to follow his advice if you want to truly get to know what Penang has to offer!
