Best hotel we stayed at in Malaysia.
If you want to enjoy Pinang in comfort - this is a great choice.
Large well equiped rooms, fantastic shower, great location - convenient with or without a car.
I picked this hotel because of its great reviews and they are well deserved.

I stayed six nights in early February. Because the location was great, I walked to restaurants and shops in Georgetown. My room was big and had a sea view. The cleaning crews cleaned my room twice a day. The front desk staff was friendly, polite, and helpful.
However, during six nights of staying at E & O, I have had some negatives feelings about this hotel. First, some guest were pretty rude. They talked so loudly in the hallway, and their conversations woke me up a few times. I was not sure...

We wanted to stay in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Old Town and his hotel has great reviews and was uniquely designed to showcase the local culture compared to other more modern hotels. The hotel was a former business/residence that was converted The breakfast buffet was nice, the room was big, clean and the bathroom was modern. It was just a few blocks away from good eateries. There is only 8 rooms in this hotel and was a nice boutique hotel. Well worth the stay.

The hotel simply great, we paid a fair price and the conditions were amazing.
There are two G hotels, located near each-other.
You can simply walk to mall (5 minutes) or take a buggy from hotel there as they do a shuttle between the hotels. Go another 5 minutes and you reach the night food market, it opens after 6 PM with a great variety of food. The prices are ok, we tried a lot of "weird" food, some is good some is bad, depending on your taste.

The hotel is superb! The beds were comfortable and the rooms were nice and clean. The staff was very helpful as well. I only have positive things to say about the hotel.
The location is the only thing I didn’t like. This was our first time to Penang and this part of the city is not walking friendly at all. Very dangerous between the lack of sidewalks and 1 foot wide by 2 feet deep drainage that is along the sidewalks. Be very careful walking here or take a grab to places you need to go...

What a gem! Staying at the Muntri Mews was like lodging in a 19th century cultural museum. The hotel is part of the George Town Heritage & Hotels group, and it was the second one of the group I have stayed in. The previous experience was good, but this one was outstanding. The room was actually a two-level suite, and perhaps a bit much for a solo traveler, with three king-size beds available, but the affable manager Linda gave me a small gift that she admitted was a bribe to make sure my wife...

An absolutely amazing place. From the ultraspacious room to the extraordinary bathroom to a private pool overlooking the ocean. Beautiful decor and stylish everything. Couldn't have been better. Just wish i was there for longer.
