Chulia Heritage Hotel

“Central location and clean”

We stayed at a standard double room. It was clean and the air conditioner worked well. Two bottles of drinking water was supplied each day. The location was good and access to many eating places.

We stayed at a standard double room. It was clean and the air conditioner worked well. Two bottles of drinking water was supplied each day. The location was good and access to many eating places. You can walk around the Heritage Area. This is a budget hotel and there were no amenities such as a swimming pool or cafe in the hotel. There was also no fridge and safe in the room. The bathroom is very small. There was no separate section for the shower and it hovered above the toilet. So after a shower the whole area is wet. Walls are a bit thin so you can hear your neighbors. There is a TV showing a limited selection of channels.

“Try a heritage of Penang”

I think the most impressive is the tourist tax comprising of Rm 2. No concierge and bell boy so u need to bring your own luggages. If u wanna learn the heritage of Penang, this place is recommended. The weakness is I dun know why they just only provide 1 key & insist open for you if we are leavin… more

“Chulia Heritage Hotel stay”

Stayed here for 2 nights. The rooms are a little bit compact but you would not be spending most of your time in the room. The plus point of this hotel is its location.

“Clean, Good Price and Location”

You can’t get much more Central- set back from Chulia Street so very close to most if the bars and restaurants but not noisy even though it was Chinese New Year. Strange layout- I’m guessing it wasn’t built as an hotel. Rooms are small and have frosted windows so you can’t see out. No fridge in roo… more

You can’t get much more Central- set back from Chulia Street so very close to most if the bars and restaurants but not noisy even though it was Chinese New Year. Strange layout- I’m guessing it wasn’t built as an hotel. Rooms are small and have frosted windows so you can’t see out. No fridge in room but air con works ok. Hot water in shower which is right above the toilet. Bed was large and very firm mattress. All very clean, room cleaned daily which you don’t always get in budget hotels. Staff were friendly and helpful especially the Indian girl who works reception in the evening who helped us with ferry bookings. In summary I was happy for the price.

“Room average but Reception Service poor”

Room was average and clean but the ground floor level window security fittings were flimsy. Front desk / Reception service was a bit haphazard and when it came to returning my deposit the staff member initially claiming that the desk would not be staffed when I wanted to check out after 7am on the Friday the day I wanted to leave. I was told that my deposit would be left with the security guard for me to collect when I left at about 8.30 to 9 am. The hotel advertises that the reception is open 24hrs . In the end I collected my deposit at 7 am on that Friday but was then told I had been mistakenly undercharged for my room and was required to pay half the returned deposit to settle my bill. I will not stay at this hotel again.
