Informing us of the best places to visit etc. we were given an upgrade when we arrived which was amazing. The room was clean, modern, comfortable and the WiFi was strong.

Lovely place and I would highly recommend it as it’s very central to everything such as restaurants, food courts, shops, clinics, hospitals, bakeries, coffee shops, etc. It’s very spacious, clean, and the staff there are extremely helpful!

Great location to eating places. All within walking distant. New lane, Kimberley food street. Chowraster markets, Clear Line Nasi Kandar .. all nearby. The hotel is an heritage venue.. the suite are actually adjoining rooms which gives good space and privacy for 4 pax. The wooden antiquity wardrobe doors creaks. And toilet doors creaks too. We stayed at the ground floor rooms facing the parking lot. Could be noisy at night when people talked loudly at the carpark. But it’s just our lock on that particular day. Otherwise it’s super convenient to walk from street to the room.

After 24 hours solid travelling the Terraces was a welcoming sanctuary for us to recover on the first night and thereafter a well located base for our visit to George Town. The hotel only provides rooms which is no problem with so many good eating places around. Everything was very good quality and well maintained. The artwork in the lobby was fun. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.

Great little hotel, very boutique focused, great street art throughout the lobby. Lisa the manager was extremely helpful and gave great advice on where to go and where to eat. Only downside was no bar or anywhere near by to go for a drink but saying there’s plenty of fabulous eateries very close. Would recommend if you want a small and quiet place to stay right in town.

I really enjoyed the property; it was so clean, artistic, and felt like a museum. Also a plus everyone was so helpful. Parking easy right in front in spots, but I didn't drive, and I literally walked to everything while I waited to get check in. Can't wait till they open a bar upstairs. Also if you need car service or tours, they have it for you right at the desk so don't book anything online.

This was a rare find. We loved the coziness of this hotel. Lisa at the front desk was exceptionally helpful pointing us to places we could go and eat. If you are after local hawker fare they are just a 10 min walk away. Parking can be an issue as there are limited spaces but otherwise, this is an excellent little boutique hotel in the city.

Ive stayed at macalister terraces three times so far! Definitely my goto lodging whenever i visit the beautiful island! What keeps me coming back is the friendly and professional staff, the convenient yet peaceful location - close to everything i need yet away from the noisy, maddening crowd, the ease of commuting - safe and secure parking right in front of the hotel, and the fact that it is also fairly easy to find a grab. Clean and spacious room with good shower water pressure, comfortable mattress, and a very relaxing, tastefully decorated lobby. They also provide an air filter upon request! In terms of hospitality and pricing, macalister terraces is without a doubt one of the best hotels on penang island! I love how they try to support local businesses - instead of the standard nescafe and lipton, macalister terraces offers complimentary sachets of the Salute brand, ha Jun Pai, and boh tea bags in the rooms. They also showcase malaysian artists, with their artwork adorning the walls. I also appreciate how they still provide bottled water and bathroom slippers, which most hotels have stopped providing in order to be environmentally friendly. The only thing that keeps me coming back is the friendly and professional staff, the convenient yet peaceful location, away from the noisy, maddening crowd, and the ease of commuting, safe and secure parking right in front of the hotel. Also, there are some minor signs of wear and tear, such as the bathroom door locks and shower heads. Which did not affect my stay at all.

What i like -1. The atmosphere, a mix of modern and reminiscent of old penang 2. The room and bedsheets are all clean. Sufficient space. Elderly friendly for those who cant walk stairs can stay on the first floor. The location is considered very good if for younger people who can walk. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. Thank you to the hotel and staff for providing a free upgrade for my elderly parents. Overall, i am very happy with the hotel. I couldnt find anything negative to say about this hotel. Travelers looking for a good place to sleep for the night, this is the hotel, unless amenities like dining, swimming pool, etc. Are on your agenda.
