Top Penang Island Hotel Reviews

The Prestige Hotel Penang

The Prestige Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent
"This was a beautiful hotel and the bedroom was spotless - as were all the communal areas. The Glasshouse was a lovely place to eat and drink and the staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. There are roadworks around the property right now but this is not really an issue once you’re inside so don’t let this put you off."
