The hotel's location is great if you wish to visit the heritage sites in Penang and frequent the numerous hidden bars and hawker centres in Georgetown.
The room was clean and comfortable, except for some stained sheets and bath towels. These were promptly changed after putting in a request with the operator. The drawback of the hotel is that parking space is extremely limited, the carpark was full on our second night due to what seemed to be an event. Fortunately, there was a security guard on duty to guide us. Also, the lack of lift access from the carpark to the lobby was quite an inconvenience.
Staff were OK but standoffish. Walked past multiple staff (housekeeping, bell staff, etc.) and were consistently ignored. Would have expected even a smile or simple hello. Was queuing up at the checkout desk and there was a front office associate standing about awkwardly right next to us, who didn't even acknowledge we were standing right next to her.
In spite of this, I'd probably return to Hotel Jen Penang in the future.
