1. Kimberley Hotel, George Town
Located on the fringe of George Town, Penang’s famed UNESCO World Heritage Site Buffer Zone, just down the main thoroughfare from KOMTAR Tower, is Kimberley Hotel. KOMTAR is an acronym for Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak, named after the second Prime Minister of Malaysia.
2. lobby
The well-maintained whitewashed heritage building with bright lights shining from the lobby definitely attracts much attention. Nevertheless, a visitor could easily miss its entrance, as it is located by the side of the building, facing Auction Rooms Café, an adjacent building, also a sister property of Kimberley Hotel.
3. Kimberley Queen
The refurbished pre-war structure has a modern charm to it, whereby all 117 rooms and suites across four floors are elegantly appointed.
4. Deluxe King
Standard room or suite amenities include a safety box, mini bar, tea and coffee making facilities, bedroom slippers, ironing board, clothes hangers, as well as a hair dryer, which is available upon request.
5. Wellesley Suite
Kimberley Hotel’s most popular room category is Kimberley Queen, its entry-level category.
6. Wellesley Suite
A tad modest in space, it does the trick of providing comfort to guests who seek a good night’s rest after a long day exploring George Town and the greater area of Penang Island.
7. Raffles Suite
Guests who are willing to pay slightly extra can enjoy a larger space making accommodation more comfortable in Wellesley and Raffles Suites.
8. Raffles Suite private balcony
In fact, Raffles is possibly the only suites in Penang which can accommodate four pax. They are ideal for families.
9. cosy corner
Both Wellesley and Raffles Suites come with their own private balcony, perfect for couples who prefer some quiet time over a drink as they enjoy a view of George Town.
10. internet corner
Kimberley Hotel’s best kept secret is possibly its Sky Bar, a new social venue that is large enough to host modest gatherings, such as cocktails and private parties.
11. Sky Bar
As mentioned earlier, Auction Rooms Café is a sister company. Therefore, guests are welcomed with a complimentary drink at the café from 3pm until 6pm, upon checking in.
12. bar counter of the Sky Bar
Complimentary breakfast is also served at Auction Rooms Café for rooms that come with it.
13. view from the Sky Bar
Although Kimberley Hotel doesn’t come with much frills, it is a hotel that serves tourists to the island very well, and it is not only because of its extremely strategic location.
14. Auction Rooms Café
Car park is available to guests, albeit in limited lots, at the back of the hotel building.
