    Hospitality at its best, sparkling clean”

    I love how they meticulously cleaned the room to ensure safety and health of the guest in their premises during this pandemic. The room is clean, staff is friendly and willing to help at all time. Check in was smooth, less than 10mins to get the key to our room. Kudos to staff at the front office (Leena), concierge and housekeeping staff for Level 14. Breakfast is so-so but the crowd was under control. The downside only the parking, saw many guest didn’t know they can drop off the luggage first at the lobby / concierge rather than bringing all the luggage to climb up the stairs to the lobby. Room : Classic touch and minimalist. Not very spacious since we only booked deluxe room and just nice for two of us. They have all essentials in the room, the pillows are comfortable and easy to sleep on. Note: Always request to room near the lift. Haha cz it will get very quiet at night.

    An Excellent Hotel When Visiting Georgetown in Penang”

    I can't say enough of how wonderful this hotel is! The Hotel Jen Penang is a modern, clean, and excellent hotel that is steps away from all of the attractions in Georgetown Penang. The hotel is very clean, the staff do everything they can to not only make you feel at home, but also to make you feel like you are being pampered! My wife and I had an excellent stay there, and really enjoyed the hotel, amenities, and the food in the hotel. Try the buffet, it is actually really good fo the price! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

    The hotel surprised us a cake for our anniversary celebration. It was very sweet and thoughtful action. As we did not expect the hotel will take our request seriously. As our request often got ignored by the hotel based on past experience. The breakfast was great as there are many choice of food. The location was prefect as it nearby all the attractions in the Georgetown. The cleanliness and the amenities was great. No excessive sound can be hear from outside the room. The staff was helpful in assisting us tk print out the boarding pass without any charges.

    The service is on TOP!”

    The reason why we prefer 4 stars hotel is to get something better than usual hotel. This hotel just provide us all the things we need, comfortable bed, room was so clean, good facility, great location, and the unforgettable one is the friendly and patient staff when we printed out parking receipt and paid for RM 80 accidentally. My bf was curious and asked the staff how could be? we didn't realize that we just need the verification before leave the park, but they were patient enough to find the parking receipt that we paid. finally our RM 80 was refundable on spot, we really appreciated it :)

    Friendly and helpful staffs who alway wear a smile when greeting or talking to you. Room is big, clean and comfortable. Also good hotel location, as behind hotel is the Pargin Mall, on the right is 1st Avenue Mall, on the left is the famous Komtar with the bus terminal under it. Bus terminal has buses to Kek Loi Si Temple, Penang Hill, Batu Ferringhi and other places of interest.

    Prime location, friendly staff”

    Pros: - It's located in prime location as just right next to 1st avenue and driving distance to food stall/cafe just within 5-10 minutes. - Room was clean with basic amenities. - Free parking with first-come, first-served basis. - Front desk staff, William was being very helpful and attentive all the time. Cons: - Check-in was taking pretty long time. - Soundproof wasn't that good as I can hear people talking/walking/closing the door. - Care pack with face mask, sanitiser was given 1 person per room, but we checked in 2 rooms with 4 pax.

    Excellent stay!”

    The hotel location is superb as it is surrounded by food and shopping mall within walking distance. Staff service is excellent, living up to the name of Shangri-La standard. But there are some thing I would like the hotel to improve in the future. Lobby lounge tea time food selection can be improve, instead of fried bihun, why not pasta? But the chicken skewer is very delicious. Also, check-in counter should also implement QR code payment on top of your current CC and Cash. It is very common nowadays to use QR payment. I am surprised this hotel doesn't have this yet. As I stay at club floor, one of your elevator Club floor button isn't there. I have to wait for the elevator to leave 1st floor and call other elevator again to go to my floor. Which shouldn't be a thing that can happen in the first place. All in all, except the point that I stated out, the stay is good.

    We travelled with elderly and young kids. The location of this hotel is at the centre of attraction. Grab only at about 6-7 ringgits to nearby museum (upside down museum, magic, glass, wonderfood, etc), restaurant, and other atractions at georgetown. Located near to 3 malls, 1st avenue, GAMA, and Prangi malls. Room are cleans , modern and spacious. The extra bed is big. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there and definitely will stay at Hotel Jen again for our next trip.

    A really clean, new hotel for a budget stay. Room amenities were all quite new and clean. Room was small but ok for two, the only downside will be the toilet, as it is too small. Location was great as it was really near many popular spots (of walking distance). Staff were nice and friendly. They even gave us a free cake for our anniversary. Will definitely stay again when visiting penang!

    The location of the hotel is great, especially if you are in Penang for the amazing street food. It’s just a ten minutes walk to most of the recommended food stalls. There are also several malls and supermarkets located near the vicinity as well. Both restaurant and counter staffs are very polite and pleasant, the room is very comfortable and clean too. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Penang!

    Great Hotel!”

    Jen Hotel is located right in the heart of Georgetown. I booked a room for 3 (1 king and 1 sofa) and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room. The bed was very comfortable. The sofa bed was clean and very comfortable too. The most important thing about the room is that it's very clean and modern. Bathroom was adequately size and they are very generous with the bathroom amenities. Wardrobe is a little small but adequate enough. The good thing about the room I got was a towel rack hanging from the wall next to the wardrobe. This is fantastic when you have 3 occupants with wet bath towels,. The rack can accommodate 6 towels easily. The staff are very friendly especially at the reception. They made me feel extremely at home while checking in. Parking is free for guest. You just have to validate your ticket at the concierge before you exit from the car park. Getting a Grab taxi is extremely easy and most great eating places are within walking distance. Overall great hotel

    We enjoyed our stay at hotel jen cos the location is perfect. We took cab to different places of interest for photo spots and good food and we are so glad that these places are mostly around the hotel. Sometimes we travel a little further out but it is so easy to get a cab at the hotel lobby because the location is very central. Went for this trip with elderly in the family and they were also able to walk the short distances to the shopping malls and street food around this hotel. Highly recommend this hotel to others!

    I booked JEN because I brought my elderly parents to stay with me. I had to leave the hotel for professional meeting and work for 3 days, and the staffs especially the concierge, reception, dining and housekeeping departments help looking after my parents welfare. They help them book Grab to go to Chowrasta Market and surrounding areas, their breakfast and lunch, attending to their certain specific requests and more. I would definitely come back whenever I'm in Penang. Oh ya, the only thing is parking is limited and no lift from parking are to lobby/room. Covid precautions are in placed and enforced well.

    I would highly recommend this hotel. The bedrooms were spacious and cleaned daily. The bedrooms had comfortable beds, air con, wifi and hot water. The breakfast buffet in the morning was great, wide range of western and Asia foods. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional at all times. The in room service menu was good quality and price. The hotel had a swimming hotel, pool table, gym and table tennis table to keep children busy. The hotel is in a great location. It is 5 minutes from the shopping malls, kompat and 1st avenue. Then a 15 minute walk to love lane and all the street art areas. As the spa in the hotel only has one lady, we decided to have a massage across the road at wellness sanctuary, which I would highly recommend DO NOT go to the Thai sanctuary in the 1st avenue mall. I loved penang and staying at Hotel Jen made it even better.
