Savv Hotel

Unclaimed

Amazing staff make this hotel so special. The room was a little small as we had a large case but that was our only miff. The bed was super comfy, the rainshower amazing, the pool small but well kept and the location great too with food courts easily walkable. Very quiet too considering a busy road. Best of all was the amazing breakfast!!!! May was a brilliant host/chef and was so passionate about the food she delivered. Amazing stay and recommended!

PERFECT. We had a booking on airbnb which was a disaster so we booked a room at the SAVV hotel at the last minute. It was the best decision ever. The hotel was so clean, staff is very friendly, great location near hawkers center to eat, and near tourists attractions. We definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Georgetown. Thanks a lot for the warm welcome

I ended up staying 7 nights here in two rooms types. Part of that time was with a friend. We spent 6 nights in a deluxe double and I spent 1 night in a single cabin room. The staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable. Since we planned to stay so long, we broke to booking into multiple reservations so that if the hotel didn't meet our expectations, we could easily cancel. But it met our expectations perfectly, and they were able to combine our deluxe-double bookings so we didn't have to switch rooms the entire time we were there. Also, I they helped me order something on Shopee that I would not have been able to get otherwise, because I don't have a Malaysian number and Shopee requires it. They were able to answer any of my questions to the best of their ability, abd even the cleaning staff was super friendly. Literally everything was spotless. If you want a clean hotel, this is the one for you. They clearly care about hygiene and still have hand sanitizer in the lobby and ground floor. The deluxe double was big with a lovely view over the clan jetties. The cabin room is on the first floor (really the third floor because there it the ground floor and lobby below it) and also had a view over the clan jetties. The beds are comfortable, but the twin beds in the deluxe double seemed more cushiony than the one in the single cabin room. The location is fantastic. You can walk most places on Georgetown within 20 minutes. There is also a bus stop around the corner. I didn't know until my last day, but there is a free shuttle bus toh can take to points within the heritage part of Georgetown. Also there were connections to other parts of the island. Take note of the following: -Reception is only open from 8am to 11pm, so if you have a very late arrival flight or train, you may want to inform them in advance. - Tap water is clean and safe to drink. They don't provide bottled water but I am ok with this. I would rather use filtered clean tap water than waste plastic bottles. It was a refreshing change to be able to just drink the tap water. - The hotel-wide wifi worked well when it worked, but they definitely have some sort of configuration error that wasn't properly assigning IP addresses because sometimes we would both get "connected without internet". The TV, which is connected via Ethernet cable, can act as a wifi hotspot when it's on. So that's a backup option if the hotel wifi stops working. However they should really look into what's going on with their main wifi. - All of the windows are locked shut. Maybe this is a safety issue from the 6th floor, but it would have been nice to at least be able to open the bathroom window for some air. - The TV can connect to YouTube and a few other apps, and you can sync your phone with the YouTube app. But there is no universal cast from your mobile device option, and there is no connect-your-netflix-account option, which would have been nice. Some hotels have smart tvs where your Netflix account settings are good while the TV is on, and you have to reconnect each time you turn on the TV. It would have been nice to have that option. Overall Savv was a wonderful choice for my weeklong stay in Penang. I wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

I loved my stay at this hotel SO MUCH! The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, the room was really pretty and spacious, the pool area so cute and it's a walking distance to everywhere in historical Georgetown. I also loved the eco approach of the hotel and the filtered tap water in our rooms was a major plus!

The hotel is in a very good location. Many Michelin-recognized restaurants are a few minutes' walk away. It is also near the water view and night restaurants. The staff is nice and very accommodating. The room is clean and the toilet and shower are amazing. If ever I go back to Penang, I will surely stay again at this hotel. Breakfast is included, and there is a small buffet with some Malaysian food and English-style breakfast.
