Top George Town Hotel Reviews

Hotel NEO+ Penang by ASTON

Hotel NEO+ Penang by ASTON

8/10 Good
"My stay at Hotel Neo+ Penang was an incredibly convenient and professional experience. The location is highly strategic, as it only takes about a 10-minute walk to reach the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site, making it an ideal base for historical exploration. The surrounding amenities are excellent, with convenience stores located both downstairs and within the immediate vicinity. A major highlight for me was the supermarket situated directly across the street, which made shopping for local souvenirs and essentials remarkably easy. Additionally, reaching the famous food stalls at Lebuh Kimberley is quite manageable, requiring only about a 15-minute walk. The hotel room itself was very reasonable, neat, and minimalist, providing a clean and organized environment that met all my professional standards. I also had a chance to visit the rooftop pool, and surprisingly, I had the entire place to myself. It might have been because it was raining at the time, haha, but it offered a very peaceful moment during my trip. Overall, this hotel offers great value and a seamless stay for anyone visiting George Town."
