Convenient for town

This is a conveniently located hotel for Georgetown, with efficient, friendly staff. The room was comfortable and of a good size, but was looking a little tired. I enjoyed the swimming pool, and breakfast was good.

The Traders is good value for money. It's free shuttle to the Golden Sands resort and free use of the swimming pools there is a definite plus. I would book this same hotel when I go to Penang next year.

Very good location.Most of the

Very good location.Most of the shops in the area aren't open early . A friend took us to Carnarvon Street to sample very tasty and cheap breakfast. There is a corner coffee shop that sells local hawker style breakfast like char-koay-teow, Loh mee, hokkien mee, Loh bak, koay-teow-teng for 3 or 4 ringgit each. It is about 10 minutes on foot. For hawker food style lunch, go to Old Town White Coffee on Burmah Road. It might take 25 minutes. Do not miss the hawker food on New Lane which is 10 minutes from Traders. My 19-year-old daughter got 3 pairs of shoes for Rm $39 each from Times Square,10 mins from Traders . There is a sauna and jacuzzi at the hotel for hotel guests without any extra charge . We will definitely go back to Traders again

Hotel was clean and we must congratulate the housekeeping team for doing such good job. However, we were rather disappointed that the 'Triple Room' we booked was actually a standard double room with additional bed. The size of the room and facilities was really not worth the price we paid. The hotel shouldn't try to pass off their double room as otherwise, by charging such high rates.

New shopping mall, 1st Avenue

New shopping mall, 1st Avenue across the road. Central location & easy access to most tourist location. The traders club is valued for money. Enjoyed the all day tea-cakes, esp the cheese cake at the club lounge.

Excellent location but very affordable

Excellent location but very affordable price. We stayed at the club room with dated decor. The club lounge is too small that is not attractive at all. We had our breakfast downstair at the cafe instead.

Great location, Great hotel!

The hotel was beautiful, no dought. The fower was big & new, the staff were absolutley fantastic & so friendly. One of the best tips that we got from staff was that we could catch their shuttle bus to one of their other sister hotels, The Golden Sands Resort, and we could sunbake & swim in the pool there which i have to say was so much better than the Traders pool. It was like a tropical resort with two massive pools, palm trees banana lounges and soft grass. Right behind our hotel was a big bus station which was good & there were two shopping centres. One night I requested a firm pillow from the staff which was perfect, but i have to say their linen wasn`t up to the star standard they say they are. We had a great time in Penang & at Traders & would recommend it to anyone.

Shopping tip: Short drive from hotel

Well for all you shoppers out there, the only shopping you must not miss is GURNEY PLAZA. There is a shoe shop there called Charles & Keith on the bottom floor, just heaven!!!!!
