Really beautiful hotel in a great location. Staff friendly and welcoming. Lovely feel to it and well decorated. However we paid for breakfast to be included - but on arrival we found there was no breakfast. Instead we were given lunch vouchers of small value to use somewhere else, which wasn't useful to us. This is the only thing I didn't like about the hotel.

6/10 Good

Customer service staff was pleasant and kind when serving. Room wise, since it’s near the road, it gets very noisy when cars or motorbikes drive past and may disrupt sleep if you’re a light sleeper. Other than that, just a simple room to sleep in. Can’t watch the TV. Shower facilities, water flows smoothly and strong pressure.

Perfect location
Perfect location. Character accommodation. Slightly soulless as one gets the key from the restaurant opposite and no contact thereafter. Also one of our rooms was street level and bordered the street so very noisy. The upstairs room had character and was quiet. Value for money

Great hotel, great location, little limitted space, but nice and old school. Clean, but need to take shoes off at the entrance. Nice and helpful staff, but they run between several locations and were barely available at the reception.

Overall a pleasant stay and accessibility is good. Loft room is big, very spacious and clean. A few comments - no matter how small and gentle steps, noise can be still heard on movement. Lighting to be improved, it’s rather dim and tough to put on make up... Possible to have someone remains at the reception counter till later in the night? Ran out of toilet rolls and couldn’t get replacement. Will be good to have a mini fridge inside the room. It will be perfect if the above points are address. Anyway will consider coming back to Sweet Cili for my next Penang trip. Thank you!

The Heart of Hokkien Foodie Paradise
Just a short walk away from the Chew Jetty, CF Market, Little India and the hipster neighborhoods around the street murals and coffeeshops that inevitably come when a city is discovered by backpackers. You know people who fly all the way to Penang but want to eat acai bowls and avocado toast over roti canai for breakfast. If you're not like these heathens then I'd say you are in luck. The Sweet Cili Hotel is surrounded by amazing food spots in every direction for 15 mins of walking or a $2 Grab taxi. The hotel itself is very charming in its look and feel. My wife was constantly taking photos for home decoration ideas after we got home. The TV is mostly Malay TV channels but there's a HDMI cable if you are packing an iPad and invested in the HDMI connector so you can watch Netflix anywhere. The only tricky part is in scheduling an early checkout but this might have been a one time challenge for us.

Why this place?
Right in the heart of the walking trails. Easy to navigate, locate food and street art. No fuss to check in or out. Just noisy due to early morning traffic.

Staff very accommodating, let me check in at 1 am and leave my bags in their care on the last day until I left for the airport. They upgraded me to a double ensuite room, unfortunately with no window to the outside but then I didn't want to spend much time there. Shared guest kitchen and fridge but a kettle in the room (seems standard in Malaysia).
