The walls of the rooms can be a little thin but I don't think anyone's gonna throw a loud party in the Lodge anyway. Staff were courteous and quite helpful. Ok, breakfast wasn't fantastic - simply two toasts, a slice of banana cake, butter, jam, orange juice and coffee or tea but hey, YOU'RE IN PENANG!!! Just walk out, turn... more

Hutton Lodge is a hostel and is cheap by Penang hotel standards. It is also located in central Georgetown, not too far from shops and old town sights. Other than that there's not a lot to recommend. Our double room (one double, not queen, bed) was small with one thin blanket insufficiently large to cover two people. There was a... more

We arrived at about 6am from the night train. The night receptionist Jeremy was really helpful, we booked into our room early for a half night fee. We had a double bedroom with en suite shower room, plenty of hot water. Whilst basic it was clean with good air con. Other rooms have shared bathrooms which at a quick glance... more

Very centrally located, good sized rooms and great breakfasts. Do yourself a favour and stay here. It really is a comfortable guest house. more

As a couple of older travellers (around 60 ) we may not have fitted the profile of the average guest here, but we would be more than happy to stay again. Two of us paid a little extra for a triple en suite room which had air conditioning. This is not a four or five star hotel with all the... more

Stayed here with my girlfriend for 6 weeks while doing a placement at a hospital in Penang. Wanted somewhere cheap but safe and clean, and this place fitted that bill perfectly. The staff were friendly and everything we asked they responded to straight away. I think that any negative comments made about the staff by other reviews probably stems from... more

Our stay was pleasant indeed, except with a few matters which the owners need to look into: - reception staff looks rather scrumpy and in need of a good shave and grooming. And needs to get rid of the silly earring. He was also too businesslike, and kept on telling us that the hotel has strict maximum number of guests... more
