Ropewalk Piazza Hotel Managed By The Ascott Limited

“Comfortable 2-bedroom Suite, near with everything, worth a money.”

It was a short Grab car drive from my previous hotel to the Ropewalk Piazza Hotel, less than RM5. The whole building is actually owned by Ropewalk Piazza Hotel.

It was a short Grab car drive from my previous hotel to the Ropewalk Piazza Hotel, less than RM5. The whole building is actually owned by Ropewalk Piazza Hotel. Some of the units are rented by the other shops. All the suite is located upstairs. Unfortunately, no carpark is available at this property. So you can park your vehicles along the road next to the hotel. Once you got your parked your car, my advice, if you want to go around the city, use the GrabCar Service. You can pay your park using the apps of PenangParking, which cost only RM0.80 per hour. In their website, there is map guide of suggestion where to park your car Surprisingly, it is only less than 5 minutes walk from Prangin Mall, KOMTAR, 1st Avenue Mall and Chowrasta Market. As I was using bus to go back to Kuala Lumpur, the Bilion Star Express office only 3 minutes walked from the hotel. So convenience. As the hotel is located on the center of heart of the city, it is easy to go everywhere. The check-in process was smooth and with the modern design. A few sofa at the lobby for you to chill. Basically, you only walked through the lobby only during the registration and checked-out. There will no room card provided, instead you will giving the room keylock number. If you see at the hotel building, there are many doors along the corridor, it is actually a guestroom door. You need to opened the door using the keylock number given (no room key/card), and that's it, the door is opened. So, you will need to memorize your key number, so snap a photo of your keylock number card or you can bring a card with keylock number on it. No need to worry if you lost the card. Once you opened the door, there is a stairs welcoming you. It is quite high to be honest. So, all I can say, it is not really suitable for senior citizens, the one need special assistance also the young children as you worried they will fall down. I love the living room, there is a sofa bed, television, microwave, water heater, and fridge. It's a normal amenities for the apartment style hotel. But unfortunately, no kitchen provided. Microwave is really convenience for you to heat up the food. There are 2 bedrooms provided. 1 king bed in master bedroom and 1 queen bed in other room. So actually total of 6 adults can stay in this apartment. So it is worth the price. The master bedroom is really spacious, provided with another television, make up table plus the big size of wardrobe cabinet. All I can say everything is complete inside such as security box, iron, and etc. Another room is just basic, with very comfortable queen bed plus the wardrobe. All is excellent for me. Unfortunately, I was alone during my stay, so I just hang out in my master bedroom as it is so cozy. The bathroom has the luxurious vibes a little bit as there is no bathtub provided but I like the vibes which I can't explain. Love the amenities provided by the Penang Hotel Collections. Love the gold color theme of amenities as its look classy. The rain shower has the excellent pressure which make you did not realize that you already in the shower for a long time. Wifi is excellent, fast speed and working fine, I am really reliable with the Wifi as my phone signal is really week when I am the room. As I am working during the travel, love their makeup/working table in the master bedroom. It is really spacious and I can work comfortably. So I think place is suitable for you if you are looking to work from hotel. No breakfast provided. As microwave is provided, I think it is excellent as you can heat up your food. During this pandemic, it is a good idea to take away your food, avoid crowds and eat with your families at the hotel room, more comfortable and convenience. Plus the hotel location is near with every restaurant, and it is easy to order your favorite foods without waiting to long. When you are in Penang, you can forget to have a breakfast in hotel. Penang is a food heaven itself. All I can say, it is not suitable for 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧/𝐎𝐊𝐔 𝐒𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐲: as it has a really high staircase in each unit.

“Sacrificing the lux hotel amenities for large, comfortable family space and location was worth it”

Pros: Loved the convenient location that was both easy walking distance to foodie streets and super cheap/easy taxi distance from everywhere else we needed to get to. Loved the space of the 3 bedroom suite as my mother and bro had their own rooms but we were still able to commute in the large living area and share meals - having 2 bathrooms also helped. Housekeeping cleaned rooms efficiently everyday even without asking, and did a great job. Also liked that you can WhatsApp reception for your requests at any time. Cons: The space as a little worn and dated, but clean and acceptable. Reception/lobby area was locked and unattended almost all the time we needed them. Although you could WhatsApp customer service anytime, we weren’t able to get a lot of basic hotel services like laundry, breakfast or room service to the suite. Even requesting deliveries or things to be left at front counter while we were away was impossible. Lastly, if you’re bringing elderly parents or require wheelchair access, this is not the right place as the stairs are very steep and narrow. At the end of the day, my family didn’t come to Penang for a 5 star luxury resort. We came to catch up and eat all the best local foods this town is known for, so this hotel (besides laundry services and coffee before 8am) gave us everything we needed for a pleasant, safe and comfortable stay.
