Great location. We did have a big room to begin with but found quite a few ants so was moved to another block in a much smaller room - not much of an issue as the room was lovely with comfortable bedding. Great location to explore.

Staff are friendly. Amenities are adequate. Location of the hotel is good with restaurants and shops nearby. However, bed linen and towels seem "yellowish" which leaves a bad impression.

Great central location, close to many famous eateries, walking distance (10-15min) to the famous mural streets, and only steps away from two grocery stores for souvenirs. Friendly staff and room is fairly clean. My only small complaint is the room and its bathroom are quite small, no counter space for toiletries and not enough hooks in the bathroom to hang towels and clothes.

Great location, breakfast is average but good enough to start the day. Photos of the swimming pool can be deceiving as the pool is in the shade during the afternoon

From our welcome at check-in through to our final day, our 12 day stay at Cittadines Connect Georgetown was a pleasure. The spacious foyer with plenty of seating options and coffee on hand, set the tone for our very comfortable King room. Buffet breakfasts were enjoyable with plenty of options. All staff were very courteous, friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this hotel!

Close to good food.
A very small room. Space is very limited. The shower water pressure and the temp were inadequate. A thumb up is the good location to good food, the room cleanliness and the hotel provides free filtered water for drinking.

Overall very good experience in the hotel as staff was friendly and check in was smooth and fast. The hotel is also at a very convenient location, walkable to centre of Georgetown and restaurants.
Bed was comfortable but wish there was thin and thick pillows to choose from. Shower head was leaking and bathroom door cannot be closed initially during our stay. Housekeeping did not replace hand towels on 2nd day and 3rd day.

Excellent!
Starting with a warm welcome by staff on arrival and check-in, our stay was perfect. Location is convenient and within walking distance of local
food, supermarket and shopping mall. The exquisite black and white tiles on the footpath along the entrance of the hotel are reminiscent of the heritage of Penang. . Tea and coffee are available free of charge in the lobby at all times. The room is spacious, well designed, and very clean with daily service. It is well lit for reading or putting on makeup! There is a long wall mirror — perfect for the ladies. Filtered drinking water is free flow.

Good Location
I would have given it a 4 star if they had given us a king bed and 2 single beds as indicated during my booking 3 months ahead of check-in. We were given a King bed and a queen bed which is not appropriate for our family of 4 adults.
Although they managed to separate the king bed into 2 single beds ( in the bigger master bedroom), the queen bed ( in a very small room) was still positioned next to a wall making it inconvenient for us ( 60plus yrs old ) to get out of bed safely. It was a inconvenience for the older parents.
Location is very good as near to shopping malls and restaurants.

Average stay
It was an average stay - reception staff could have been a bit more friendly! Doorman and housekeeping staff were great.
Amenities in the room could be improved - it would be nice to have had some water waiting for me in the room when I arrived. Instead I had to go into the corridor and fill up a jug for myself. Also no iron or ironing board, which was frustrating.
I think the biggest issue I had was the breakfast - probably the worst breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. Chaotic, terrible quality of food. Thankfully I had added breakfast on to my booking when I arrived - so after the first morning I requested a refund for the remaining days. It was truly a terrible breakfast - I’d really recommend they improve this!

The check in was easy and fast. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Only thing to improve is to ensure to brief the guest on the facilities like where is the pools and gym and also the free coffee. We were not told of these until we went to found out.
Location is quite awkward. A little off from the many good foods (Kimberley street and Penang street). But overall still reachable. The plus point is there is a good local biscuits shop around and a supermarket nearby. Hin Bus depot is also within walking distance.
The lighting at the pool can be improve. Quite dark at night.
The Aircon in the room was not really controllable. We tried to set it at 25°C but after awhile, it automatically jumps back to default setting.
Overall renovation is modern and cozy. Gives a nice welcoming feeling at the lobby.
