Sweet Cili Boutique Hotel

Very cute and cozy hotel and room located very central in George Town - very sweet staff that provided a room for us on the 1st floor as we wished for, and super easy communication via WhatsApp. The air condition worked perfectly!

Beds were comfy and clean, location is great as all important sights in Georgetown are close by to reach by foot. One person of our group got sick, so that we needed a doctor. It was no problem for hotel to let doctor come in many times during the night for patient-care. Very uncomplicated! Free water bottle refill in reception area. Nice bar (Gatvic) next to hotel.

The staff were nice, they let us see the inside of the hotel rooms before we booked. There is a common room (pantry) area for us to have some coffee or water. Wish they prepare some biscuits or sell some bread or kuih there, would have been nice. My daughter accidentally broke a glass in the pantry area, but the staff was very accommodating and helped cleaned up. The unit is tastily decorated, my family loved it. Would have been good if there is 2 toilets :) We walked to some festival nearby and scoot around with electric motorcycles. We loved the overall experience, might come back - but maybe we might also want to try other hotels nearby next time to see how it compares

Stayed at Sweet Cili Hotel for 3 nights. This is a delightful little boutique hotel, about 5-10 minutes walk from the main attractions and eateries in Georgetown's Chinatown. 30 minutes ride from Sungei Nibong bus terminal and 45 minutes from Penang Airport. Room is tastefully done - we got room 1 on the ground floor. There is not much natural light in the room unless you open the side curtains completely. The toilets and linen were spotless, though we though that the floor was slightly dusty. The bathroom has nostalgic red oxide floors. Shower strength is good. The main lobby is nice and has good seating. However, the aircon makes it quite cold. There is access to a common fridge as well. Reception staff is friendly - they helped book a taxi for me in the wee hours to the airport. Wifi was good throughout. There is unlimited supply of water and coffee.

incredible location (really close to main attractions in George Town), beautiful room, friendly staff, clean, space to store luggage while waiting for checkin.
