Loved everything about this hotel, was convenient to get to places and explore Penang 's street food. The room was clean and comfy. Bedroom slippers were cute. We could use the TV 's apps to cast YouTube shows. One thing I didn't like was the bathroom ventilation, the space doesn't fully dry so it constantly felt damp in the bathroom.

Whenever we come to Penang, we always choose this hotel. Room is very clean and comfortable. All the staff are very friendly. The location is also very strategic. It is easy to find food nearby and close to GAMA supermarket. Will be back again.

Generally Jen is a great hotel where I usually stay when I'm in Penang due to the location. What didn't please me was due to the water disruption issue, the hotel immediately shut down the use of the sauna & steam room. I really didn't appreciate this. When a hotel does this, guests should be compensated in other forms.

I had the most pleasant stay here. The hotel staff were very friendly & accommodating to my request from housekeeping to reception. Room was clean, I had the family room which had a sofabed for my children. The hotel is within walking distance to avenue mall & prangin mall, so convenient. Overall, it was great!
