Kimberley Hotel Georgetown

Excellent location. Very decent breakfast. Helpful, polite staff. They have filtered water on every floor so you can refill your water bottles and not use plastic. Good for the environment and your health - it's hot in Penang and good to drink lots of water.

The WiFi was virtually non-existent. Despite repeated requests to the front desk to address this issue it wasn't fixed during my stay. I simply wanted to go on Facebook to post pics of my walk-around tours of beautiful Penang, but their WiFi was so slow and weak it wouldn't work. I burned up the credit on my local simcard purchase trying to get this done and had to go buy another simcard due to this hotel's problem. Also, the room wasn't perhaps the smallest space I've ever stayed in - and I've lived and traveled in Asia for 6+ years. Lived up to that saying: so small you'd have to step out into the hall to change your mind. Literally had to open my suitcase by using the only flat space available by the door to the room.
