I had a decent time at Ag Hotel Penang, with cozy and clean rooms that provided a quiet environment. The location was alright, with food options and a bus stop nearby, but it wasn’t super close to attractions. The staff was friendly, but they could’ve been more knowledgeable about local attractions. Overall, it’s a budget-friendly option, but there are some downsides.

I had a mixed stay at Ag Hotel Penang. While the location was strategic and close to various attractions, my room had some significant issues including a lingering smoke smell. On the bright side, the hotel features a lovely rooftop garden and a cozy café. However, the overall cleanliness and amenities left much to be desired. 🌆☕

I was intrigued by the upcoming spa and appreciated the basic amenities. However, the lack of a mini bar and phone in the room was a downside. The parking situation could also be improved.

I stayed at Ag Hotel Penang and found the location pretty convenient, close to some eateries and a bus station. However, my room had serious cleanliness issues, which made my experience disappointing. The hotel staff were friendly, but they couldn't provide much in the way of tourist info, and the noise from the corridor kept me awake.

My stay at Ag Hotel Penang had its highs and lows. The location was convenient, with a few food options nearby and a bus station just across the street. However, the room cleanliness and maintenance raised concerns, particularly with a smoky smell lingering throughout. Overall, I would say it was an average experience, but I might consider looking elsewhere next time.
