Guest Reviews
- wani (10/5): -
- Piers (9/5): Superb budget stay in Georgetown - This property definitely exceeded my expectations. The hotel is in a great location in Georgetown, not far from some amazing eateries and bars as well as plenty of heritage sites, temples and other attractions. For the price I paid I was really happy with the cleanliness of the room, the fact it had a window, the great AC, the comfy bed and the hot shower. It even had a desk with a chair! Additionally it is quite modern with a fast lift, a water machine in the corridor and an automated check in/check out experience. Finally, the check-in lady was really friendly and helped me to use the machine as well as greeted me when I came in and out of the hotel. I was very impressed and if I'm on a budget again I will be sure to check out this property. I think there could be a bit of artwork on the walls- the rooms were clean and simply decorated but a bit of artwork would make it even nicer. This is not the fault of the hotel per se but there was a sewage smell in the area which you can smell in the room. Again, I don't believe this is anything to do with the hotel but it is something to be made aware of.
- Nhi (9/5): - nice and comfy enough nil

- Jin Shing (9/5): -
- Chiara (8/5): - La struttura si trova in un'ottima posizione, centrale vicino alle attrazioni principali. La stanza era abbastanza spaziosa e pulita. Se noleggiate auto o moto la struttura ha a disposizione un parcheggio coperto e costudito
- Mattia (10/5): -
- Michi Unterwegs (9/5): - Sehr gute Betten, Dusche mit Druck und warm wasser. Trotz Fensterlose zimmerbuchung war immer noch ein wenig von außenlärm zu hören. Zum Glück waren nicht viele Zimmer in meiner nähe belegt.

- Flavia (7/5): - Die Lage ist super und auch das Personal sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Es ist wirklich extrem ringhörig und für leichte Schläfer ist es nichts. Wir mussten immer mit Oropax schlafen. Diese werden auch kostenlos an der Reception abgegeben.

- Azham Shah (9/5): Friendly faces and atmosphere - Friendly staff with friendly smile and greetings. She took effort to provide umbrella since it was raining when wanted to out for dinner. The room was clean and reasonable in terms of space. There is wifi in the room and can ask for basic amenities like toothbrush if needed. There is a dedicated place at the hallway to iron clothes with place to hang the clothes which was quite helpful during ironing. The location is quite near to eateries, self laundry and convenient shop, and a walking distance to certain tourist spots. The mattress seemed to be a bit soft on one side (head) so felt a bit uncomfortable when lying down.
- Kenya (3/5): 値段に合っていない、もっと安ければ納得 - ロビーは涼しくてきれい。部屋はおばあちゃんの家のような匂いがした 値段の割に古くて汚い
ディスカウントされている金額が通常の値段のようだ

- William (8/5): A good affordable stay close to the food action of Penang. - The location was really good, plus the room had top aircon and a cosy bed. There is no gym or social area (barring the reception seat). As a solo traveller it would have been nice if there was a bar.
- Najah (9/5): Awesome - The locations was nice. Near to restaurant and other. Hotel pun bersih. Tak sempit sangat and tak luas sangat. Parking. Limited parking space.

Property is centrally located between Old town and the Foreshore, and easy walking to most tourist spots, markets and shopping. shoutout to the reception team especially Super, whos professionism and local knowledge, led me to extend my stay extra days.
Plan to return with my full family later. Nothing
- Zil (9/5): - I recently stayed at The Journey Hotel, Penang, and was very impressed with the overall cleanliness and comfort of the hotel. From the moment I checked in, I noticed how spotless the lobby and public areas were. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the check-in process was smooth.
The room was modern, minimalistic and very clean. The bed sheets and towels were fresh, and the bathroom was sparkling. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in housekeeping, everything was in place and the room smelled pleasant and well-aired. The shower had good water pressure and hot water, and toiletries were provided.
Although the room is compact, it is very functional and well-maintained. The hotel provides basic amenities such as a kettle, hair dryer and bottled water. Wi-Fi was stable and fast and making it easy for me to get work done.
The location is also convenient, just a short drive to George Town and nearby food spots. Parking is limited but manageable if you arrive early.
Overall, The Journey Hotel is an excellent choice for travelers looking for a clean, quiet, and affordable place to stay in Penang. I would definitely return and recommend it to others!

- Tina Naeela (10/5): - Our experience at The Journey was fantastic and beyond our expectations. Angie at the front desk was warm and helpful, and we were pleasantly surprised with an early check-in after noting our arrival time. The suite was spotless, beautifully designed, and very comfortable. The location couldn’t be better, we walked to almost all our destinations. Highly recommended! Nothing
- Hamed (7/5): Good hotel and good location but with some noise issue and guest control - Room and bathroom were clean and good size and modern. Location is very good too. Friendly staff as well. There was no mini-fridge in room. In hot and humid conditions, there should be a fridge in room .
- noise problem between rooms. : there was no noise problem from outside but unfortunately there were very rude and disrespectful guests that booked few rooms in same floor and used hotel as their child playground and use hallway as their communication . All other guests had nightmare . Nobody could rest or relax with their noise. Very bad experience and memory for nice hotel that we pay over $50/night in Malaysia.
- Attaudomporn (9/5): Thank you for being a part of making this trip a truly memorable one filled with smiles. - The location is very convenient, with plenty of convenience stores and dining options nearby. All staff members, from the reception to the security team, were warm, friendly, and courteous. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and the room was clean and fully equipped with necessary amenities. The walls are relatively thin, so occasional noise from doors opening and footsteps in the hallway can be heard. There was also some noise from other guests on the same floor.
