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.

Restored heritage stay

Really enjoyed our stay. We were given a welcome plate of local snacks on arrival, and the owners and staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. Our room had a ceiling fan, AC, flatscreen TV and a wet room bathroom. Great location close to shopping malls and a night market/street food vendors. It was nice to be somewhere with more local charm than a hotel chain. Be aware that as it is a restored heritage building, some noise does get through the street-facing windows when the neighbourhood wakes up.
