Iconic Marjorie Hotel, Penang, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Modern and thoughtfully designed hotel with great amenities, courteous and helpful staff, and a hip vibe that belies the neighborhood. The bathroom was well stocked, the shower a pleasure, and housekeeping was unseen but we always had clean towels and water. Every request we made of the staff was handled promptly and personally, kudos for the outstanding service.
The location is, unfortunately, not ideal for such a premier property. The area is not really walkable, there isn't much to do around the neighborhood, and Grab drivers spent way too much time making u-turns due to the poor road layout around the hotel.
The blackout curtains were very effective but sound dampening could have been better.
All-in-all, five-star hotel in a two-star neighborhood."
Penang is a fantastic destination for active travelers, offering a variety of activities that cater to fitness enthusiasts. Start your adventure with a hike up Penang Hill, where you can enjoy stunning panoramic views once you reach the summit. The well-maintained trails provide a great workout while immersing you in the lush greenery of the rainforest. Next, consider cycling through Georgetown, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can explore its vibrant street art and historical architecture on two wheels. For water sports lovers, the beaches around Batu Ferringhi offer options for jet skiing, parasailing, and paddleboarding, ensuring a fun-filled day on the waves.
