If you are in Penang and is looking for an budget accommodation that is located in the heart of Georgetown, then look no further .. we are here to share with you our experiences at the Summer Tree Hotel Penang by VHM Hotel Group. Summer Tree is the new budget brand of VHM Hotel Group and there are currently two Summer Tree Hotels in Malaysia – one here in Penang while the other is in Melaka.
Although it is a budget hotel, Summer Tree Hotel Penang is bright and clean and very cosy. The location of the hotel is ideal in Penang ~ located on Rangoon Road, where you can find lots of good food within a 15 minute walk and within a 15 minute drive will get you most of the places of interest in Georgetown.
The lobby of the hotel is nicely done up with a lot of wood features, but yet gives you the modern feel. Check in is rather quick and simple and you will be off to your room.
There are only two room choice at Summer Tree Hotel Penang – the Deluxe Twin Room and the Deluxe Double Room. Room sizes are similar, just 20 sqm but it is a room that you won’t feel too cramp in probably because of the big windows with the city view.
The room comes with a comfortable bed, work desk, an LED TV, and complimentary WIFI. The bathroom is attached and comes with a separate shower stall to keep the bathroom dry all the time.
Accommodations at Summer Tree Hotel Penang don’t come with breakfast as there are a lot of good places for breakfast around the hotel. However, if you want to eat in, there are vending machines at the lobby as well as a shared pantry if you would like to prepare some simple food. There is also a hang-out place for the hotel guest at the lobby area which I felt is great to meet people who are traveling here in Penang to exchange ideas.
In summary, I would say if you are looking for a budget place to stay (rates here starts from under RM 100), this is a good choice as you get bright and clean room that is located centrally in Georgetown where you are easily accessible to all the places of interest in the city. The living area in the lobby is very creative and nice and ideal for you to chill over a can of coke or cuppa of coffee after your day out in the city.
Only challenge I see here is that the complimentary parking is rather limited in the basement but then there are always paid parking on the road.
