Personnel accueillant

Le personnel était très serviable. Très bon accueil. Salle de bain et chambre endommagée à cause de l’humidité qui se voit sur les murs. Salle de bain inondée à chaque passe. Dommage. Eau chaude mais aucune pression de l’eau. Silencieux et bien climatisé.

Staff offered to bring complementary hot drinks with a pastry to your room. On departure I was given a small bag with a bun and carton of water. Room was clean and comfortable with soft pillows. Nice and quiet.

outstanding staff

There is abt a 5 minute walk to Komrar, wet convenient with lots of delicious coffee shops nearby for meals. what sets this lodge apart for us is the outstanding attitude of the staff, York and Soomtag ( hope I spelled it correctly). Both go out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Their almond tea at the end of the night was a bonus.

Nice heritage building, lovely staff

Betel Nut is well located just outside the main heart of old Penang, near some beautiful areas, alleyways, walkways and street art. The staff are exceptionally friendly and very helpful - the hotel is quite quiet, almost like a homestay more than a typical hotel. It would probably suit couples and travellers spending most of their time away from the hotel, rather than business travellers, just because the room is a bit small to work in (and there wasn't a desk). But one of the friendliest places I've stayed in a while.

Lovely and quaint. Great hospitality and good location. Really good food just across the lodge. Only downside is that you have to climb stairs (perhaps not so good for seniors), and the washroom is slightly small.

Excellent location near to local life

Staff and owner are very friendly and helpful. They even tell us where to have good food and places to visit. They even provide almond milk and biscuit every night and ask for the time to be sent to our room. Owner even serve us home made pastry when arrival and during the stay. Surprise token given to us on the day we checkout. Excellent service and will recommends to friends. Definitely will stay again next visit.

Outstandingly Helpful!

Our stay in this small boutique hotel was perfect for our 4 night stay in Georgetown.The location in the heritage section of the city was excellent with numerous examples of street art, restaurants and street food nearby. The owner of the hotel provided exceptional help when we were having difficulty purchasing a flight to Langkawi (as the ferries were all booked). The afternoon and evening teas and biscuits were lovely.

Would love to stay there again!

I highly recommend this hotel! The location is well-centered but quiet enough. A room is still new, well-maintained, and clean. There is no desk but they offer a lovely common room. Wifi works well, too. If there is a flip top for a W.C., I'd be happier(W.C. and a shower room is same there )Staffs and the owner are super-friendly and kind! The map they gave us is full of local food information, that was quite helpful. They offer a few piece of cakes and a pot of tea every afternoon and a cup of almond milk for night time, it made me happy and feel at home. Overroll experience was amazing!! I would love to stay there again.

Stylish affordable accomodation

We arrived for our 3 night stay after midnight and were greeted on the street by a staff member who was listening out for our taxi. This was the beginning of the warm personalised service that is the hallmark of Betel Nut Lodge. Rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated. The spacious ground floor guest dining room and lounge give a beautiful sense of the building's history and are lovely and relaxing to return to after a day out in the hustle and bustle of Georgetown. I can't recommend Betel Nut Lodge more highly. I will always stay here on future visits to Penang. If you are coming to Penang to experience Georgetown then this is absolutely the best place to stay.

A nice chance to stay in a heritage building

This is a beautifully restored heritage building, which has been converted into a lodge for travellers. We were made very welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed the almond milk and biscuits at bedtime which I'm sure contributed to the good nights sleep. The lodge is in a good location and we were given plenty of information on the different landmarks and eateries

An outstanding choice indeed!

This hotel definitely deserves its "outstanding" guest review rating. The location is very good in the historical old George Town UNESCO area. The owner is friendly and helpful with lots of good suggestions. The rooms are small but comfortable and well appointed.... everything works and super clean! Beds are also comfortable with great quality linens. You can easily walk to anywhere in the historical district from this hotel. I recommend this hotel without reservation.

Welcoming and helpful staff

Betel Nut Lodge is an excellent guesthouse. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms clean. The staff were extremely helpful and organised laundry and taxis etc. They were also very helpful with restaurant suggestions. On arrival back to our room each evening we were offered almond milk and this was delicious! Also brought us tea and home baked buns/pastries, plus a snack lunch to take when we left Betel Nut. An excellent find! Thanks to all staff.

Most Satisfied stay ever!

離有夜市的汕頭街只5分鐘走路距離，正對面有好吃的鴨肉粿條湯早餐。光大與愛情巷都在合理走路範圍內。 飯店的床很舒服，重點是飯店人員太棒了!!!! 非常熱心的介紹景點，有提供用手工標註的地圖，主動願意幫忙查資料，晚上怕我們兩個女生出門危險，陪我們走到按摩店門口。 睡前泡了有蓮子的杏仁奶，隔天下午回來還有點心！雖然我們check out了，還讓我們使用公共區域的淋浴間，可以幫忙訂去機場的計程車。 我都要哭了，溫情滿分！ 如果再來檳城絕對會再次入住！
