The Prestige Hotel Penang

We recently enjoyed our second stay at The Prestige Hotel Penang, and once again it absolutely lived up to its superb location and incredible value. We were thrilled with the upgrade to both an executive deluxe and a premier deluxe room—my cousin was so impressed that she's already set on returning and staying there again in March 2026! And I am going back in October! The hotel’s service is top-notch, and we loved the complimentary daily breakfast and the super convenient access to the Cutters Lounge. It made popping in for a quick refreshment so easy. We also indulged in their signature massage this time, which was a highlight. The massage chair was a clever piece of equipment—it looked like a regular chair at first, but transformed into a foot soak tub and then a fully adjustable massage bed. The heated pad on my back and the perfect pressure from the therapist made it an absolutely blissful experience. And not to forget the lovely turndown service every evening—it’s those thoughtful touches that make the Prestige feel like a home away from home. Overall, it’s definitely a gem of a hotel and we’re looking forward to our next stay.

We were very happy with our one night stay. The staff were all exceptionally helpful and friendly, and made us feel very welcome. Our Deluxe King Room was very clean and tidy, and well appointed. The shower is an interesting design in that it's a standalone glassed-off area within the bathroom floorspace, with a curtain for privacy. The toilet is separate, on the opposite side of the entrance to the room. The complimentary beverages in the minifridge were a nice bonus. No noticeable noise from neighbouring rooms.||The top-floor pool has a fantastic outlook over the harbour, and the adjacent outdoor area has seating under shade. The fitness room is small and lacks equipment.

If you’re looking for a clean, friendly, safe, and comfortable stay in Penang, I highly recommend this hotel🩷 As a Bonvoy member, I spent quite some time deciding among the various marriott properties in Penang and im glad i chose here. I highly recommend here especially for couples and friends. The greatest strength of this hotel is its staff. Every single one of them was kind and courteous, which made my experience truly enjoyable. Because of this, I would definitely stay here again if I return to Penang. 📍The location is conveniently close to many of Penang’s main attractions, and there are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast🍳 there were 9 main dishes available every morning, and on top of that, there was a noodle bar and a few other rotating options that slightly changed daily. We loved the curry noodle! I didn’t use many of facilities personally, but the infinity pool had a beautiful view and was never too crowded, which made it very pleasant. The room was spotlessly clean, and I really appreciated the welcome snacks and complimentary minibar. The bathroom has a glass-walled shower, but since there’s a curtain, it wasn’t an issue. Soundproofing could be improved, but it wasn’t bothersome overall. I’d like to thank the staff who always greeted us with a smile😊. It made my stay feel warm and welcoming.

We wanted a night in Georgetown to explore as we live in Batu Ferringhi. We chose the hotel for its location. The staff, hotel, room and facilities were excellent. The rooms are comfortable, quiet, well equipped and filtered water is provided. The common areas are very clean and extremely comfortable. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The on-site car park was easy to use. Breakfast was plentiful and again the staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again if we needed a night away in Georgetown to explore:) thank you.

Kudos to Mr. Ooi (GM) and the team. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the hotel’s stunning design and attention to detail. The property is beautifully maintained, modern yet full of character. What made the stay truly memorable, however, was the exceptional staffs — warm, attentive, and always going the extra mile to ensure comfort. Every interaction felt genuine and thoughtful. The service was seamless, and it’s clear the team takes great pride in what they do.||A truly wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend The Prestige Hotel to anyone visiting Penang. we look forward to returning on my next trip!

We stayed in this wonderful hotel in early August 2025. I loved white painted walls reminiscent of the old colonial style and i was surprised to find that it was more recently built. The hotel and rooms were spotless with staff always around cleaning and greeting generously. Our room was a split room with the bedroom on a raised level. The room was regularly topped up with supplies. The swimming pool was ample size and clean. The breakfast served were a good start to the day and the fresh juices a treat. The staff were always willing to assist and friendly. Overall this was a great hotel that we stayed in for a week

Nestled in the heart of George Town, this charming boutique hotel offers an ideal location bustling with an array of restaurants serving exquisite local, French, Asian, and Western cuisines—all just a scenic walk away. Experience impeccable service and tastefully furnished rooms that beckon relaxation, complete with complimentary TWG teas and freshly brewed espresso from Nespresso machines. Plus, enjoy free drinks from the mini bar as part of your stay. Perfectly suited for those seeking tranquility, this vintage gem provides a serene oasis amidst the lively city.

We stayed for 3 nights for my birthday and we had a great time. |Upon arrival, we were met by smiling faces from the security/door man, to reception. |We stayed Premium King on the second floor. The room was clean and loved the rose gold and the design of the room. Breakfast was nice too. A member of staff would go around offering guests local sweets to try.|The pool was a good temperature, it wasn't as cold as most hotels in hot countries can be and it gave you a great view of Penang Ferry Port (a 5 minute walk) and the mainland. |We ordered room service for 1 night and the burgers were amazing. There's also a huge selection of movies too.|I would stay here again

Absolutely stunning gem in the heart of the city UNESCO site! Easy to get around, easy to see all the sites, and easy to see the places to party and dance! The service was exceptional and consistent! Great for providing extra bowls to providing open door service!

The Prestige has many positives, but it doesn't live up to its lofty ratings. Undoubtedly, the staff is very nice and professional, and the location is optimal for George Town. But even the largest suite is still pretty cramped. And we had a broken toilet, so we had to walk to the end of the hall and use the pool bathroom instead. The television audio on both televisions is shockingly quiet even when the volume is turned up to the maximum. The shower is oddly located in the living room. And the only view from our suite was of an abandoned-looking construction site. The pool is nice but small and crowded. But with a suite comes access to the Cutters Lounge on the first floor. That was a lifesaver when we returned overheated from a walk and found icy air-conditioning and complimentary cold waters, soft drinks, and snacks! The breakfast buffet is incredibly small. The hash browns are very soggy, and the meat dishes are not kept appropriately hot. But thankfully, there is ample water provided at each table, a rarity in Malaysia. And an excellent rendang one morning was replaced by a fabulous curry the next morning. The honeycomb is also quite refreshing and the charkoi is excellent as well!

The Prestige is a fantastic hotel in a centrally located touristy spot. It's close to a lot of the nightlife scenes without being exactly in it. The street it's on gets quiet at night which is great if you are looking to relax at the end of a packed day. Room was spacious and clean with all the modern amenities. My only gripe was about the amount of carpet in the room (some bits are stained) and the weird set up for the see through standing shower stall (guess that's a talking point). Staff were friendly and helpful.

100% hands down the perfect cross-section between tropical and Christmas-y with a hint of upscale-mod design for your winter getaway. I found this hotel right on Expedia and let me tell ya, the pictures reflect the hotel in itself. The rooms are spacious and immaculate. I absolutely love the white and gold accented hardware such as the bathroom faucets and room sconces. The bathroom also comes with extra toiletries in case you forget such as: toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, shower cap, and shaving kits. In addition, there is a separate 3M faucet you can use for drinking water. Special amenities include access to all the drinks in the mini fridge which is normally an additional charge- but you sure do get your bang for your buck here. The grounds also includes a lap pool, cabanas, restaurants, coffee shops, and some lounge areas with couches and armchairs. What I also love about this location is that there are famous Hawker stalls nearby and its a short drive to the charming Georgetown. Overall, I was so impressed with the service and amenities here. It was a magically Malay Christmas!

In general hotels in Penang are a fraction of the costs compared to SGP, we were fortunate to snatch a room in one of the newer nicer hotels by the coast. Overall we were impressed by the hotel staff and its amenities, especially impressed by its mini infinity pool. Room: 8/10, we got a spacious well lit king size bedroom overlooking the street, everything was spanking new: nice comfy king bed and pillows, beautiful bathroom with rainforest shower, separate toilet room on the other side of the hallway which was an odd design. No closet but there was an open rack that had plenty of hanger space, 2 sets of bath robes for us to wear to the infinity pool; water kettle, Keurig machine with coffee and TWG tea bags, there was a safe to keep your valuables, a cute round table and 2 chairs by the window completing the furnishing. There were some semi-permanent coffee stains on the table top, the only blemish in this otherwise ultra clean room. Hotel facilities: 8/10, we absolutely loved the mini infinity pool on the second floor. It overlooks the tranquil harbor and the ancient coastal neighborhoods, with lounging chairs on the side for guests to chill, towels already provided. It might not be massive but adequate for a 162 room hotel. We tried the Glasshouse restaurant for breakfast buffet and found it unimpressive: very basic western fares and pastries, some curries and basic local items, the coffee machine broke down 3 times during our session so I only had 1 cup and it was just ok. On the same ground floor there were other restaurants and even a SF coffee shop which we did not try. After all we were in Penang for a food tour. Location: although it was not immediately next to any major hawker centers or street foods, most of those food spots were no more than 2 miles away via taxi or Grab ride app, other attractions such as the city hall, upside down museum (not a real museum), street arts and Komtar Tower were all only about 1 to 2 miles away. The nearest hawker stand was Sri Weld food court which was relatively small but had descent Ali's Nasi lemak, claypot chicken rice and other stuffs. Hotel staff: 10/10, extremely courteous, professional and engaging, they seemed to go out of their way to make all their guests feel welcome. Value: 10/10, we couldn't believe it was less than $70 USD per noc for this newly renovated hotel. Overall we were very pleased with our stay in the Prestige Hotel and would def consider staying here again on our next visit.

I find this hotel really cute and my hotel room was clean. I love the interior and I felt really safe staying here especially when its my first solo travel in Asia. Although there's no view in my hotel room, It seemed like its a part of the building that needed to be developed. I got to check in at 12. Its in a great location and its walking distance to a lot of places.

Rooms were beautiful and great to stay in. Gym was very dIsappointing, gym with 0 weights!! Otherwise everything else was good
