Enjoyed our 2 night stay and appreciated the excellent service which started with initial email contact and helpful directions/options right through to be available for all our needs and questions. The cozy, historical feel was unique. Location is excellent. Would certainly stay here again.
Clean, comfortable and a great location to explore George town. Lots of good information provided about local eateries and shops. Really friendly and helpful manager and staff.
I am glad I picked this hotel to stay in in Penang. The location was idea as it was very close to the heritage sites and the staff could not have been nicer people.
Staff offered to bring complementary hot drinks with a pastry to your room. On departure I was given a small bag with a bun and carton of water.
Room was clean and comfortable with soft pillows. Nice and quiet.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
outstanding staff
There is abt a 5 minute walk to Komrar, wet convenient with lots of delicious coffee shops nearby for meals.
what sets this lodge apart for us is the outstanding attitude of the staff, York and Soomtag ( hope I spelled it correctly). Both go out of their way to make our stay comfortable.
Their almond tea at the end of the night was a bonus.
Betel Nut is well located just outside the main heart of old Penang, near some beautiful areas, alleyways, walkways and street art. The staff are exceptionally friendly and very helpful - the hotel is quite quiet, almost like a homestay more than a typical hotel. It would probably suit couples and travellers spending most of their time away from the hotel, rather than business travellers, just because the room is a bit small to work in (and there wasn't a desk). But one of the friendliest places I've stayed in a while.
Lovely and quaint. Great hospitality and good location. Really good food just across the lodge. Only downside is that you have to climb stairs (perhaps not so good for seniors), and the washroom is slightly small.
Staff and owner are very friendly and helpful. They even tell us where to have good food and places to visit. They even provide almond milk and biscuit every night and ask for the time to be sent to our room. Owner even serve us home made pastry when arrival and during the stay. Surprise token given to us on the day we checkout. Excellent service and will recommends to friends. Definitely will stay again next visit.
Our stay in this small boutique hotel was perfect for our 4 night stay in Georgetown.The location in the heritage section of the city was excellent with numerous examples of street art, restaurants and street food nearby. The owner of the hotel provided exceptional help when we were having difficulty purchasing a flight to Langkawi (as the ferries were all booked). The afternoon and evening teas and biscuits were lovely.
