Excellent choice for Georgetown

Lovely hotel in a great position in Georgetown. Easy walk to all the cute streets and restaurant. It has a lovely breakfast with a good selection of many different foot styles. The staff are friendly and always helpful.

Lovely hotel with lovely staff. A bit dated perhaps but that's to be expected for an old hotel! Everything else was great.
Steven, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

AC worked well and room was pretty quiet. We did not have housekeeping every day. The day we did, we did not get wash cloths replaced and we had to ask for them.

An excellent location, close to all that George Town has to offer. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean and very comfortable rooms with all the facilities you might want. And a tasty and varied breakfast offering as well. A great choice.

Janice, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Enjoyed staying at Royal Chulan. The only issue was that there is no alcohol sold on premises. This is not advised on any of the hotels information when booking which is a bit disappointing.

Nicholas, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for 3 people for 2 nights and it was comfortable. The only thing that bothered us was that there were only enough cups and glasses for 2 people.
Mamoru, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff at Royale Chulan was very hospitable and made our stay very pleasant!
Christopher, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Unfortunately the view from our room was that of a dirty ledge and a huge building blocking everything else. It is a clean facility but quite worn with time. The staff tending the rooms were very friendly and welcoming.
