I had a mixed experience during my stay at Hotel Penaga. While the staff were incredibly hospitable and accommodating, the room cleanliness left much to be desired. The hotel's central location was excellent for exploring George Town, but I was disappointed with the breakfast options and some facilities.

While I loved the idea of having a jacuzzi, it wasn't clean, which was definitely an issue. The pool was also under maintenance during my visit, which was disappointing as I had looked forward to swimming.

I had a lovely stay at Hotel Penaga, with its stunning architecture and local charm. While the breakfast could've had a bit more variety and the WiFi was hit or miss, the comfortable rooms and attentive staff really made my visit special. I appreciated the hotel's eco efforts, too, and would definitely come back again!

Breakfast was decent, with eggs made to order and fresh fruit, but I think a buffet setup for the breads and pastries would improve the experience. Overall, the dining area had a cozy vibe overlooking the pool.

The pool area was a perfect retreat from the heat, and I enjoyed the complimentary afternoon tea and evening wine. However, the WiFi was inconsistent at times, and I wish there were more seating options around the pool.

I had a mixed experience at Hotel Penaga during my recent stay. On one hand, the location was great and within walking distance to many attractions, which made it convenient for sightseeing. On the other hand, I faced some issues with the amenities and service that brought down my overall impression. The decor and boutique character of the place are lovely, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

The hotel no longer has a swimming pool, which was disappointing since I was looking forward to that. However, the koi fish pool was a charming touch.
