My wife and I had the pleasure of a review stay at Hotel Neo+ Penang on 26-28 May, 2017. We arrived around 8:45pm that evening (because we had to attend a dinner earlier that evening). Parking was on level 3 of the hotel building. We just need to collect the parking ticket from the machine and have it validated when we check out. In between, shuld we need to leave the hotel, we just need to use our room keycard to exit and re-enter to the car park.
The room given to us, 2317, is on the highest floor of the hotel, just below the swimming pool level. It offers gorgeous views of Penang Island as far as Gelugor and Penang Hill.
The room was very comfortable, though quite small. Nevertheless, considering most rooms at Hotel Neo+ Penang cost less than RM200, it is still good value since it is right within the city centre. In the evening, we went for a walk to check out the vicinity. The hotel is near to GAMA department store, so shopping is convenient. Across the road is Komtar, where one can do more shopping.
The next morning, we had our breakfast at Lemongrass Restaurant, where we were met by the Public Relations Manager of the hotel, Miss Stephanie Lee. We had a lively time talking and get to know each other.
During our stay, I had a chance to explore the various facilities, such as the swimming pool on the 25th floor of the hotel (there's no 24th floor). From there, we could enjoy a panoramic view of George Town, with the Komtar Tower looming beside us.
All in all, we had a lovely stay at Hotel Neo+ Penang, and we thank the hotel for giving us the opportunity to review it.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
