Sweet Cili Boutique Hotel

We recommend this hotel based on its value for money for a hotel room in Penang. It is located in Georgetown and very near the tourist destinations that we intend to visit. It feels like home in this hotel. It offers free water and coffee in the common area. The staff members at the desk are accommodating and nice. However there's no breakfast available for this hotel and shoes need to be removed by the door. Overall, it was a nice experience.

I was actually looking into properties that are located in the center of Geoergetown Penang, and since it’s holiday season, it’s quite difficult to find good accommodations, or if available, they can be overly expensive. After careful review, I decided to book myself here at Sweet Cili Hotel. Parking was quite difficult here if you come by own transport. I’m lucky to have found myself a public parking spot by the roadside (MYR 6 per day, paid using Penang Parking app). Checking in was quick, and no security deposit was taken. As obligated by the local govt, only a MYR 2 heritage tax was charged upon check in. Shoes are not allowed beyond the reception area, and it’s a walk up property. Room was spacious, and with vintage vibe to it. It’s equipped with a flatscreen tv, filtered bottled water, kettle , iron, security box, basic toiletries, and mosquito repellent. I love that the room has a concept, not boring looking. Mattress was of firm type, and pillows are basic (medium firmness), so sleep quality was average. Shower water pressure was fine, and water heater worked well. Coffee, microwave and water dispenser was provided at the common area downstairs, and unlimited.
