At Armenian Street Heritage Hotel, travellers highlight a central, walkable location, while noting spacious but dated rooms with thin walls, noisy or hard to control air conditioning, and mixed cleanliness and maintenance standards across different stays.
A rooftop space with views is noted, but amenities overall feel basic and the Wi-Fi can be weak. Parking is limited, first-come, and may require a daily fee. Service is often friendly and helpful, though a few reviews report key-card mix-ups, slow or inconsistent housekeeping, and occasional front-desk issues. Overall, expect budget-friendly convenience over polish.

It's located near Armenian Street, the surrounding area is walkable and easy to get food. There's also a parking space nearby if you're driving, but it's on first come first serve basis.

The best thing about the hotel is its location. From the first glance, the hotel seems alright. The room is comfortable, with a decent bed and a window that opens up to a charming view of the Armenian Street heritage area. The toilet bowl doesn't seem to have been scrubbed/cleaned regularly. The shower is clean, with good pressure. The check-in process is easy and painless. Parking isn't complimentary - you have to pay RM10/day for a spot, and it's given on the first-come-first-served basis. I stayed there for 3 nights - couldn't sleep very well each night due to the noise. The rooms aren't soundproof, the walls are thin. There are facilities such as the ironing board placed at the common area outside by the atrium, and at night, as late as 1230am, you can hear from your room the sound of families chatting loudly, kids running around, and doors being banged shut.

The room was perfectly sized and well equipped. The same goes for the bathroom - large, with a perfectly sized shower stall. The rooftop bar - great place with a great view. Very helpful staff. Perfect location - between the old and new towns. On the downside, the windows in the room didn't open fully, and the breakfast was average. But I still want to go back.

Stayed in this hotel for two nights while in Penang. The location is great with a lot of the street art attractions scattered in walking distance to the hotel. The hotel room was rather basic, but was overall relatively clean. Noise from surrounding rooms was loud through the walls. Our TV did not work but this did not impact us much during the short stay. Breakfast was included in our stay, this was on the rooftop and was nice but simple. Bottled water was provided daily, but fresh towels were not provided. Staff were friendly and helpful, and provided luggage storage.

The room wasnot in good condition, the walls are painted wuth different colours, the bathroom condition - MUST TO touch up. Even if you switch on air con, there is the smell of dampness, i washed some clothes and it never dried. The staff at the reception is helpful, i asked for umbrella and they helped, i asked to print some pages, they helped. The safety box in the room was closed upon arrival and i cannot use it. The breakfast restaurant is nice, on the roof top. The breakfast itself, can find the food for your choice, in general okay. The location is perfect, 10 kinutes to Komtar, few minutes to Penang street art. Few restaurants around, less small shops around, 7.11 around 10 minutes walk The only thing that they need to work on is room condition.

Location is excellent and walkable to visit the historic Penang district and food. Room and shower are roomy but carpet did not look like very clean. The price in the location was very good; it would be much better if the lobby downstair AC was turned on early so that the air was feeling fresh when we came down at 8am; there are also no AC in the upstairs hallways.

The hotel is very tired but considering the price it is good value for money. We arrived early and they managed to get a room cleaned up and let us check in early which was very helpful. The only complaint is our tea cups in the room were never cleaned in the 5 days we stayed there. there was a dirty tea cup when we went into our room and I washed it thinking it was an oversight. The hotel is in a great position within walking distance to restaurants, food courts, shops, shopping centres and bus terminal and ferry terminal to Butterworth. The hotel is in an excellant location to everything.

Hotel room had a very bad smell that we could not handle. Toilet was not working when we checked in. It took the staff 2 attempts and over an hour to fix the toilet. Lots of stains on the furniture and bed sheets and we felt it was just not up to the standards it should have been. The noises of other guests taking a shower or using the toilets could be heard through the walls right beside the bed. We had to leave this hotel and book elsewhere

We spent three nights in the superior double room during early August 2023. The room was generously sized, although it had a slightly musty scent upon arrival. The furniture appeared aged, and there were noticeable cracks in the floor skirting throughout the room. Fortunately, the window provided a pleasant city view. The hotel's standout feature was its exceptional location, allowing easy exploration of Georgetown with its proximity to various attractions- a great choice if you enjoy discovering places on foot. Additionally, the check-in staff was accommodating and friendly. Despite us arriving well before the official check-in hours, the staff managed to provide our room by efficiently rearranging those who had checked out early.

Armenian Street Heritage Hotel is well-located in the heart of George Town, close to heritage spots and eateries. Rooms are clean and decent for the price, but the beds are of poor quality and uncomfortable. Overall, it’s a budget-friendly option mainly for short stays and convenient access to attractions.

The building really showcases old colonial architecture. Near to all the tourist walks. That is the only great thing about the hotel. I had staff request that I pay the tourist tax, even though it had been paid via booking website. The rooms in poor condition, with the bed mattress springs popping when moving around while sleeping. The air con extremely loud. The bathroom good size and its the only positive about the rooms. Strained towels. Breakfast would have to be the worst I've had from years travelled. I ended up leaving 2 nights early shifting to another hotel, Citidines. I would say that the hotel is poorly run. The last thing you should be worried about is your accommodation.

The hotel was great, the only issue we had was with the air condioning unit. It was very noisy and on full blast all of the time. We tried just turning it off but the room quickly became very hot. We did ask to be shown how to turn it down, but the member of staff said that it was not possible. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious and comfortable.

La chambre 609 est grande avec une salle de bain rafraîchie. La chambre en aurait besoin un peu aussi. L'hôtel est tres bien situé. Tout le coin de Georgetown se fait à pieds. Le seul gros point négatif est qu'on entend tout. La configuration de l'hôtel fait en sorte que c'est très écho. Les murs sont en "papier".

Hotel was nice but I woke up at 1:30am with a man standing in my room. Apparently the staff had given him the wrong room key and he walked right in while I was sleeping. Then it happened again before I left. Twice in 10 days is pretty lame. Don’t forget to latch the second lock.

When I first checked in, another guest managed to open the door to my room. Upon my complaint, the counter staff gave me another room. I then realized that I could even use the new room key to open the door to my old room! Good thing was that with the new room, only the designated card was able to open its door.

Front desk service was rude and unfriendly. Service standards definitely need lots of improvements. Wifi was not available on laptop and not stable on mobile phone.

位置甚佳，距離市內景點、食肆、夜市場等也不遠，可步行前往。酒店有傳統英式風格，前台職員服務態度也很好。

Armenian Street Heritage Hotel is well-located in the heart of George Town, close to heritage spots and eateries. Rooms are clean and decent for the price, but the beds are of poor quality and uncomfortable. Overall, it’s a budget-friendly option mainly for short stays and convenient access to attractions.

It's located near Armenian Street, the surrounding area is walkable and easy to get food. There's also a parking space nearby if you're driving, but it's on first come first serve basis.

The room was perfectly sized and well equipped. The same goes for the bathroom - large, with a perfectly sized shower stall. The rooftop bar - great place with a great view. Very helpful staff. Perfect location - between the old and new towns. On the downside, the windows in the room didn't open fully, and the breakfast was average. But I still want to go back.

Breakfast feedback is inconsistent: some enjoyed tasty options and rooftop views, while others found it average or poor, with one report of spoiled soup. The rooftop bar or restaurant received a few positive mentions.

咖啡杯底沒洗乾淨，有污漬。早餐很不錯，簡單好吃，還可以賞景。地點很好，附近就有名店，吃印度菜，中華菜都方便。可走路去娘惹博物館，壁畫街，清真寺，觀音亭等等。入夜的巷子很熱鬧，也因此會有些吵。

Right besides the heritage George Town area, this property is conveniently positioned for the art lovers (with old world charm & art murals in the walking distance), as well as food lovers (with Kimberley street just at a walking distance). This is a value for money 3 star property, nice & co-operative staff & a good & tasty traditional breakfast. I loved the ambience & the hospitality.

Stayed in this hotel for two nights while in Penang. The location is great with a lot of the street art attractions scattered in walking distance to the hotel. The hotel room was rather basic, but was overall relatively clean. Noise from surrounding rooms was loud through the walls. Our TV did not work but this did not impact us much during the short stay. Breakfast was included in our stay, this was on the rooftop and was nice but simple. Bottled water was provided daily, but fresh towels were not provided. Staff were friendly and helpful, and provided luggage storage.

The room wasnot in good condition, the walls are painted wuth different colours, the bathroom condition - MUST TO touch up. Even if you switch on air con, there is the smell of dampness, i washed some clothes and it never dried. The staff at the reception is helpful, i asked for umbrella and they helped, i asked to print some pages, they helped. The safety box in the room was closed upon arrival and i cannot use it. The breakfast restaurant is nice, on the roof top. The breakfast itself, can find the food for your choice, in general okay. The location is perfect, 10 kinutes to Komtar, few minutes to Penang street art. Few restaurants around, less small shops around, 7.11 around 10 minutes walk The only thing that they need to work on is room condition.

Outside the hotel was not very tidy/clean. Transport early in the morning to the airport was difficult to get. The hotel restaurant has been leased and there is no room service. TV stations were very limited. Cleanliness and condition of the room has improved greatly. Staff is very helpful and courteous. I will stay there again..

We liked our stay here! Central and clean. Breakfast was simple, but ok. Kids loved the bunk beds formed as fire trucks and the play area by the breakfast. Nice roof top where we could relax a bit from the busy city life.

The hotel reflected the historical texture of the city, it was clean. The employees were friendly. The yellow cat was very cute, I sometimes gave him cat food, but it was as if there was a problem with his teeth, he was eating the food comfortably, but it was as if his tooth was broken. If I come again, I will stay again. Thanks
