Macallum Central Hotel Managed By The Ascott Limited

The hotel is basically a series of self-contained units, each with its own entrance. We were upgraded to a 2 bed unit, which was great because the front of the unit faced a very busy road and we were able to sleep in the back room which was a lot quieter. The unit was spacious, it had a washer/dryer combo machine, it had 2 TVs, it had an induction cooktop and a full sized fridge. The location was fine, close to Pasar Lebuh Cecil (hawker centre on Cecil, excellent for breakfast), walking distance to local shopping malls. It was easy to arrive and leave by Grab (the local Uber equivalent, be sure to download the app and set it up), but just need to walk a few metres as the driver might not be able to safely stop right outside the hotel (busy road). Overall it was a comfortable stay.

It looks antique outside but very modern and comfy inside. The whole suite is spacious with one king size bed in 1 bedroom and queen size in the other. The building is naturally cold too, just like typical old building. It's clean and has many amenities just like an apartment does. Staffs are friendly and helpful, they confirm our arrival time beforehand so we don't have to wait for check-in; self check-out is easy too. Great location, of a walking distance to Lebuh Cecil Market, some famous restaurants, and grocery shop (Village Grocer at 1st Avenue Mall). The window soundproofing is not so good but the road itself gets quiet during the night so we have a pleasant sleep. Overall, it's a great stay

We arrived past midnight; there was no one at reception, but a staff member arrived within minutes of us calling them to tell them that we had arrived. The location is central to where we want to go. It is a known address for Grab food delivery. making it easy for us to order our food on days that we decided not to go out.

It was great to have an apartment with lounge and kitchen including a washing machine. Location was fantastic, close to a big shopping centre and bus station.

okay, let me just write a couple of words towards this amazing facility. we have been traveling across Malaysia for a family holiday, and we visited many cities and stayed at many many hotels ranging from seven stars to private apartment accommodations. Macallum Hotel is the only property my wife asked me to praise precisely!!! we were moving accommodation and making last moment changes when we decided to book this hotel. a concern was there as the time lapse between checking out from existing property at 12 pm and the check in time at 3 pm at the hotel! (peak hours for tourist travelers). i dropped a message to the hotel 12 pm requesting for an early check in, if possible! surprisingly, in no time Emma has responded back the room will be ready after half an hour 😍 - outstanding customer services ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ By the time we grabbed a cap and reached to the location the room was ready, and the check in process was no way easier, smoother, or faster ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ the facility itself is a piece of heaven in the middle of the unpleasant surroundings (city centered location-you know what I mean). So, yeah, the hotel is in q brand new condition from inside out. spontaneously clean and shining. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rooms are soooo spacious and super comfortable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We booked our stay on a last minute deal by booking, so we literally paid one third of the room price. Value for money ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if by any chance, we will be visiting Penang again, this hotel will be our first and foremost choice 👍🏻
