The Traders Hotel in Penang has the feeling of a once good hotel that has fallen into slight disrepair. I spent two nights here on a business trip to Penang in April. The service is excellent, as you would expect. However, the hotel is a 1970s high-rise that has not aged well. The rooms are well furnished, but somewhat rough... more

We had a very nice stay at this hotel. The staff is friendly. They aren't starting a chat with you, they are formal, restrict to answering questions and polite. The room was clean and comfortable. Very nice. Too bad the wireless internet isn't free of charge. Location is not too far from the mail tourist attracts, but we did take... more

I stayed here on a busy weekend of festivals in Penang--nearly every room in town was booked. I arrived at the hotel to find that my cold water wasn't working. Suddenly a torrent of brown water blew out of the faucet. It turns out that someone was working on the pipes next door. I called the front desk, and since... more

Traders Hotel, how do you rate it? It does all the basics well, rooms are clean, comfortable and very well equipped. There was a TV with satellite channels, kettle, fridge, safety deposit box, iron, ironing board, hair dryers and even a flashlight in the room. Room was a bit small but more than adequate for anyone's needs. So no major... more

Stayed there for 3 days in Jan 2008 this year. The hotel is excellent, the rooms are really clean and good standard. The best part is the breakfast, I have travelled round the world and stayed in many hotels but never have I seen such a vast spread as in Traders hotel. We really got a good deal by booking... more

When I arrived at the Traders I was first given a very tiny room, looking out to the backyard onto a mall. Below on a roof were piles of garbage. I requested the front desk for another room, which then had a better view, but still was quite dark and very small. Only stayed there for one night and then... more

We stayed at this hotel during chinese new year and it was fine. The open air pool was nice but everything else was just as you'd expect. more

The hotel is a very good choice for the money you paid for it. The front desk staffs are nice. At least good in manners. They are pretty helpful too. I ask them where to get things i want, they will tell the location and tell you how to get there. Thanks for that, Traders. The room is good. Its... more

Stayed in Penang 5 days on business. The hotel arranged for pick up at the airport (less than $10). The rooms are small by western standards, but comfortable, and clean. The hotel restaurants specializes in all you cna buffets for dinner. Most opf the evenings it catered towards Japanese guests. I'm on a low salt diet, and they were sort... more
