Enjoyed our stay. Very nice, polite & helpful and accommodating staff. Gym was adequate and better than a lot of other hotels I've been to. Breakfast buffet was quite good with a nice change of food daily. Only terrible thing were the fruit juices esp. the OJ. Would definitely highly recommend and stay again.

Amazing Stay At Royal Chulan Penang
Excellent reception by Mr Ganesan! Very helpful and friendly. 5 star employee
Maison, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pros: Our room was large, clean & pleasant, and we were allowed early check in and late check out. The location was very convenient. Cons: The restaurants were closed (apart from breakfast buffet restaurant) and the room service menu only had a fraction of the dishes shown on the menu. The TV service had a very limited selection of channels of interest to a European.
Peter, 10-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Like - nroom is clean, breakfast is good, Dislike - a lot of cars parked on car ramp which makes driving in & out very narrow and dangerous A request - can I have official receipt as none was issued to me during check out. Thks
LIM, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The property is oirdates and many facilities are not working, like the business centwr. My room smelled of smoke, as did many of the hallways. The attempts to cover the smell with airfresheners resulted in a terrible smell.
Jamie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Older, but still nice, courteous staff, good spot
Room was nicely appointed in terms of furniture. Hotel staff was extra helpful in multiple ways. Food service was good. Downtown historical districts and shopping are walkable. Some minor negatives: TVs are broadcast only with limited selection (i.e. no Youtube or Netflix). During my stay there was a lot of trouble with the WiFi. While bathrooms were remodeled and mostly modern age was showing in some cracks.
Ervan, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel must have been grand in its day. It is tired and run down now. While the staff are generally great, some laundry went missing and it was a nightmare to resolve - right up to the point of our departure. I did not like the breakfast at all (we only went once). If I was travelling alone, I would not have liked the location of the hotel in terms of access when walking (the actual entrance is tucked around the back, off the street).
