Sunway Hotel Georgetown
Thursday 21 December 2006
I stayed at the Sunway Hotel, Georgetown last December and was quite impressed with the hotel. The hotel is situated at New Lane in Georgetown, Penang and is a 5 minute walk away from KOMTAR. Whilst KOMTAR is in quite a pathetic state considering that it used to be THE shopping centre, there is still one supermarket there in case you need to grab something.
The room was clean and spacious and check-in was done quite fast. We were given a room facing the Penang Bridge...and a Hindu temple. The ringing bells from the Hindu temple was a bit of a bother in the wee hours of the morning though. Unfortunately, I think the windows were not double-glazed for sound-proofing. I won't blame the temple devotees but I thought the hotel could have been more thoughtful.
Anyway, just two doors away from Sunway Hotel are 2 restaurants / coffee shops selling great Penang hawker fare - Rojak, Char Kuey Teow, Prawn Mee, Fried Oyster (O chien) and such. We were there for one night only and could not find enough room to accommodate all the great food available.
Presently, Sunway Hotel is offering rooms from RM180 nett with breakfast for 2. That was what we paid for the last time we went. Breakfast was not too bad either and we had the luxury of using the club floor cafe (which was on the same floor as our room) with personalised service.
