Stay @ Cititel Penang 23rd February 2013

In our recent Penang trip we stayed at the Cititel Penang hotel located in the heart of George Town.

Here are my thoughts:


Price: Came to about MYR 200 nett through Agoda.com. If you browse on a regular basis, chances are you can get better ones.

Amenities: The basics. Limited parking space (But there are a few outdoor lots owned by privateers nearby) Restaurants/bar at the lobby floor.

There's a rather small indoor pool and a tiny gym at your disposal. The pool is not ideal for a serious workout swim as it's less than 10 meters in length. However, if you can be creative, chances are you CAN work out a sweat. Reasonably-sized Steam room and Sauna for use. Important thing is that everything is clean. As of end of February 2013, refurbished health center will be up and running.

Room: Small but not cramped with 2 single beds (Standard Twin Share Room). I guess I am spoiled with Gurney Hotel's. Overall, the room is clean, that's all that matters. A bit shameful about the sheets though, I had to request for a change for 2 beds as the sheets were stained with small patches of blood (Previous tenants popped acnes perhaps?) and I even found urine stain on my bed-padding. I had that removed.

Good news is that all rooms come with pretty good wireless broadband connection. Woot~

Service: We weren't fussy, and the staff who have attended to us for the above sheet changes was friendly. Overall- ok.

Surrounding: Smacked right in the middle of town. Stone throw away from the nearest mall/eateries and other attractions. With 24-hour marts to cater for your needs. A++.

Ratings: 4/5.
