Guest Reviews
- Stella (7/5): - Location good 👍
- Jayasree (9/5): - Overall Aircond no cooling
- Chin Suk Kuan (10/5): - 👍🏻 Don't have fridge
- Heng (7/5): - 出入方便 泊车位少,房间小了点
- Agnieszka i Leszek (1/5): - nic, ponieważ ktoś włamał się na moje konto i zrobił rezerwację, a Booking.com to totalnie zignorował wszystko, ponieważ ktoś włamał się na moje konto i zrobił rezerwację, a Booking.com to totalnie zignorował
- Chong Nock (7/5): -
- Keong (9/5): -
- Ashraff (10/5): -
- Danny (9/5): Great location and view - The hotel is located near several hawker centres, malls and a bus station in walking distance.
I had the room with a balcony on 5th floor. Good sized room. It was clean and you havea good view of the area. I saw several mold spots in the area. I think there was a leakage.
No water in the room, however you can go to the 1st floor to get water. I was able to get water on the 1st day. The rest of the time i was unable to get water due to renovations on the 1st floor.
Luckily there were some stores in the area to get your water.
Staff could be friendlier. I don't need them to act like we're friends, but be more welcoming and a smile never killed anyone.
- Nick (7/5): - Nice location where I can look for foods and shops around Penang, walking distance to bus terminal and nice food location. Room is clean, cozy. Toilet are clean, wifi is working. Limited car park space where first come first serve, espcially during renovation period. The receptionist area smaller than I thought, thus will be crowded if everyone is gather at the area for registration or check out.
- PENG JOO (7/5): Satisfactory - I like the Location & Cleanliness Construction
- Ezzaq Syahzreen (8/5): Excellent stay - The water shower pressure so good Nothing
- Lai Hock (8/5): -

- Ching Kee (4/5): - Week Wifi. Most hotels at this rate would provide 2 complementry bottles of water but not YAN Hotel. Can only see TV Malaysia in Malay language. The Chinese TV show, muteI. I spent 4 nights and never once did the hotel make the bed.

- Jeffyfong (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vaibhav (8/5): Very good -
- Sonia (6/5): Pleasant -
- Bernard (6/5): - The room was clean. The only thing that I wasn't happy about is the bed. It was too hard and the pillow was extremely soft. I was unable to sleep. But other than that, it was a good stay.
- Patrick KC (8/5): Good location with delicious food around - Location is very good, near to komtar. The new lane food street is jusr a street away with lots of famous street foods. Many food courts along the main streers too. Only that the towels used in the hotel is not absorbent. No toothbrush is supplied.
- Wei Siang (8/5): Room - Overall is ok. But room not as clean
- Mnda (8/5): - Basic and clean. Value for money especially during peak period.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Everything was just good enough except if the room is soundproof.. no sound come out should be 100% fine
- Beng Hoa (10/5): - Nice. Clean. Affordable. Walking distance to good bakut teh and zim sum dim sum restaurant.
- Bigbaa (8/5): Cheap and got a lot street food - hotel it's ok for sleep room quiet small but bed still comfortable . aircon was cool you don't need to worry (sometimes it's too cool i think lol) this is not first time for me here . wifi was changed last time too slow now wifi is faster than before . around hotel got a lot thing for you to eat .
- Kirstin (8/5): - Good, basic, budget hotel. Noisy so if you are sensitive do not recommend. Shower/restroom small but ok.
- Harry (6/5): Budget lodging with minimal amenities. - Good reception staff, close to Georgetown sites by walking and close to transit hub. However, no cable tv, no face towels, or face soap; room cleaned only if card placed on door handle to request it. Small room, size of a cruise ship cabin. It was annoying that staff would knock on door in the mid afternoon to ask if there is any garbage needing to be disposed.
- Ben (10/5): Fantastically worthwhile stay - Strategic location. Very clean. Good value. Good service. Highly recommended.
- Paul (10/5): Excellent value hotel in good location - The hotel is great value. Room was well equipped, clean and in good condition. We booked a room with a window which was worth the extra money. Hotel location is fairly good, a bit of a walk to the historic centre of town, but there is a good bus service and malls / restaurants nearby.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice Budget Hotel - Overall good but the room was definitely only for 2 people. Compact & proper budget room. Not complaining but just stating the facts. :)
- Verified traveler (8/5): 1 night stay - I only stayed for a night but for the price and location, the stay was pretty good.. everything was clean and pretty quiet at night.
- KC (6/5): Central but amenities lacking. - A reasonably new hotel. Room is compact but fine. It's clean. Bed is firm. Location near to food and shops and within walking distance to a number of tourist destinations. I booked the room for 2 persons but only one toothbrush given. I asked Housekeeping and they say only one is given and if needed extra to request from Reception. Also noted no soap provided. Again asked Housekeeping they do not seem to know what I am talking about. Asked reception, they confirmed no soap provided so you need to bring your own soap or wash with either shampoo or body wash.
- TK (8/5): Business trip - It was my short stay, it location smack right on George Town with all the hawkers stall around. Worth the money, room is clean overall is very good.
- Adventurer (8/5): Hotel with good location - Clean budget hotel. Very convenient. Plenty of street food and eateries along the main road. Walking distance to bus terminal KOMTAR where there are buses to airport and all other areas in Penang.
- Laura (10/5): Perfect in Penang - Super clean. Good location. Close to downtown plus quiet. Great shower head. Tv had some English channels tlc and Axn. Excellent wifi.
- chan (8/5): - Basic facilities for short stay. Worth for the price paid. Room is clean. Shower curtain is installed in shower room now. Good improvement.
- asmah (6/5): comfortable - okay
- mina (4/5): bad smell room - i wis ivei never come accross this hotel. the testimonies were fake i presume.
- Kayatri (6/5): - Everything was good except the WiFi. The WiFi was so bad that we couldn’t book an Uber to places instead took taxis which cost a fortune. Kindly consider to having a better WiFi!
- michelle (8/5): cozy place, no frills & we will come again. - Definitely a good choice .
For it's price range, good value in my opinion.
- Andrew Eng Lok (8/5): Cleanliness - They don't mop the floors, bedroom floor was greasy
- Gobinath (8/5): Good comfy room - Nice hotel with comfortable room..the setback is no breakfast..
- Roger (8/5): Clean basic facility hotel and centrally located - Good experience, just what I expected, clean, secure and close to town.
- Bern (8/5): Worth for it's price - For it's cheap pricing per night, it offers just the right basic necessities for those who are not that picky. Besides that the only less comfortable experience is the room size and probably having 2 chairs instead of 1 would be good as well. Cleaniness is decent and acceptable. Bed is comfortable
- CC (8/5): Clean comfortable hotel conveniently located - Nicely maintain hotel with clean comfortable room. Great shower with strong pressure. Evening turndown service available as well. Quiet but conveniently located just off the main Macalister road with good food nearby walking distance. In fact walking distance to few shopping centers ie KOMTAR, Prangin Mall, First Avenue, Times Square, etc & also Georgetown major tourist attraction. Only gripe is the not so fast wifi.
- Amer (8/5): quite and calm hotel.. - ive been here for 4th time and the hotel is very simple but satisfy. All the basic needs you can get there..Also its a walking distance to go anywhere around the town. The service is very good as i get upgrade to the bigger room.Nice stay and enjoy it eventhough my stay is just for overnight.
- Chong (8/5): Good location - Perfectly clean and in tip top condition. Good location. Book early to enjoy great rate. Yes, I rate it overall 4 out of 5 for unrated hotel.
Observations: Cold air conditioning in the room. Basic toiletries except body lotion, cotton tabs, face tissues and comb. Small room but good enough for 2 persons.
- geoffrey (6/5): Staff as cold as the airconditioning. - Not the best position in Georgetown but close to the night markets.Staff were uninspiring and need to undertake a hospitality course.A smile does help!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Location is very good. The air cond blows to my face while I sleep and was not something that could be adjusted.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - nice comfortable accommodation, and near to eateries , very strategic
- Verified traveler (10/5): Peaceful hotel i found. - feel so relax and easy to access stall or any 24hour minimarket.
- Omar (8/5): Quiet location and central to everything - Front counter staff were welcoming and overall stay at the Heliconia was pleasant.
Most facilities are within walking distance otherwise Uber will always be within 5 minutes to get you to your location
- carl (10/5): relaxed - this hotel was very nice and i had 5 very good night sleeps here.It was very clean and modern,great location and a night food market at the end of the road some nights.It is in a very central location and many resturants close by, also always taxi's around I would recommend for sure.
- HN (8/5): - The room is very comfortable. The location is good. But, we felt hot because the air conditioner might have some problems during that night. Limited private parking lots but they will help us to find a parking lot at nearby if the private parking lots full. Still will consider to come back to this hotel next time! :)
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nice hotel & staff - hotel facilities were good and very friendly Chinese receptionist. Security guard also excellent in taking care their guest car parking location.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Bathroom curtain has been added to prevent water splitting out from shower, however dustbin is better to have garbage bag for hygiene purposes.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The place got good location. Walking distance to komtar, new lane food hawker stalls, times square and etc. It is just beside the hotel sentral georgetown which you can use to direct the car or cab for easier journey. The room is very quaint and neat. No breakfast though. They cleaned the room without replacing or cleaning the cups. No fridge provided. The reception is on the 1st floor so you need to take the lift or stairs to get to it as the ground floor is for parking. Overall, it is a good place and would consider to come back here.
- Chuen Cheng (8/5): Heliconia Hotel stay - The location of the hotel is excellent. Cannot expect much as it is a 2.5* hotel. But wish that the wifi should be much better as the signal was bad and the speed was slow for the room I stay.
- Michael (10/5): Good value! - Good value for price paid. Would like a better choice of tv programs, like news. Need a chair and a refrigerator would be nice.
- Zulkifli (8/5): Comfortable stay with easy access - Great location with easy access to all areas of interest. Recommended for repeat stays.
- jess (8/5): Good. - I love this hotel. Been here a few times already. Good location, room is clean. Staff very helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): close to food centre walking distance - easy parking and good location near to shopping center and food centre
- Annie (8/5): - very convenience for dining & location
- lai (8/5): Convenience and conford - Overall is satifitory, only the wifi signal very weak and poor
- Verified traveler (6/5): nice hotel but.. - I requested to have 2 key cards. They said only 1 key card allowed per room. And no shirt iron as well
- jlow (6/5): Air conditioner problem - I booked two rooms. I was given two rooms on the same floor above the reception floor.
Two of these rooms had air conditioning problem that is both rooms were not cool at all.
Later I found out another guest on same floor had the same problem as my two rooms. The technician came but the problem persisted. Finally I told hotel that I needed to check out one of the room as it was too hot and unbearable.
Only then the hotel decided to let me have another room.
Question is how they could sell the rooms( whole floor) air condition not working properly.
The second night the air con was in order..
We suffered the first night on the two rooms
- Joohan (6/5): Budget hotel that fulfill basic needs. - Stayed in Roo 507, many small ants on table. TV channels reception are bad. Walking distance to Komtar at Jalan Keng Kwee (Famous Teow Chew Chendol). Move around with Uber/Grab or car would be easier.
- Verified traveler (10/5): The best hotel in Penang! - The hotel was quite clean, staffs were nice and the location was more than perfect! I will definitely choose this hotel again if i get a chance to travel Penang again.
- Khusman (10/5): Convenient and clean hotel - Room is clean and new. Maintenance staff react quickly to handle electricity.
- HQ (10/5): - I like Penang very much
I can see the sea of clouds from Penang Hill
and I like to walk around George Town
- William (10/5): Clean, efficient, and very convenient. - Good staff and good location for walking, restaurants, and street foods.
- Jaycee (8/5): Perfect Location - The hotel was perfect for everything. When you're hungry at night you can just go out and tada food market! Restaurants everywhere! 1-2hrs walk from Chulia St, Armenian St, basically to almost all attractions. Areas that needs to be improved: bathroom and tv. Bathroom needs to have a anti slip mat as it slippery. Tv channels is limited. But overall it was great.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Comfortable 3 star hotel - Hotel room's condition is satisfied , just the staff ( wearing glasses) need more smile.
- William (8/5): Clean comfortable, good location, helpful staff. - Everything was done right, and for a fair price. Internet access was a bit slow, but not sure if the problem was internal or neighborhood.
Liked it enough add extra days.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Not bad for the price. - Hotel is generally great. There is a night market just 2 minutes walk away. It is near to most of the locations we wanted to see. Room was clean. Generally, quite quiet at night, or maybe because we were staying at the last room. However, like all other reviews have stated, there really should be a door between shower area and rest of toilet. Other than that, we are very pleased with the stay. Hotel staff was friendly too.
- Arthur (6/5): Poor and slow reception services, noisy room - There was constant noise of hammering and sawing until 02.00am in the room above me. (room 507) Despite the fact that I have some evidence that the room was being used as a common room by the staff, reception said the room was unlet
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice Hotel. Walking distance to Komtar. - Very good hotel on budget. Very clean. Good staffs. Just the room space is not adequate than necessary. But that is OK for me considering the rent.Overall satisfied.
- Shahrom (8/5): Nice budget hotel stay - Cheap by Penang standards. looks new. No breakfast, but near to good eateries like Roti Canai/Roti Bakar Transfer Road. Late check-out given until 12.20p.m. Bathroom no hand-held shower. Parking limited
- SIEW (8/5): Budget but great value - Friendly and helpful staff. Good location the room is small but is clean we book last minute with good price
- FENY (8/5): Strategic Location, great services - Strategic Location near Komtar, just walking about 5 minutes and great location for finding breakfast and dinner
- Linges (10/5): Nice and cozy - The deal was what takes me there n I found excellent
