2/10 Poor

Not worth the price
I picked this place because of it's location in Georgetown and the pictures they provided in the hotel bio. Those pictures had to have been taken about 15 years ago because the room didn't look exactly as it did in the pictures. I will say had the room been in good condition, it would look like a decent room with a lot of character. Unfortunately the room was run down and in need of refurbishment. All the furniture including the safe was damaged as shown in the pictures. The bathroom had moisture damage on the ceiling as well. The room had beautiful hardwood floors but it was so slippery I could skate on the floor with my bare feet. The room was full of mosquitoes and I had to kill about 3 of them but there were still more. To make matters worse, there was a man that worked in the building making a lot of noise. He loitered in the lobby on the couch all day yelling at some woman on speaker phone. I am not exaggerating when I say this man was on the phone ALL DAY... Must have been some really important conversations because at first it didn't seem like he worked there. They advertised a rooftop lounge area at that top of the building but the security guard that worked their refused to let us go up there saying it was closed. Definitely false advertisement in their hotel ad and you can get something a lot better for the price they charge.

Close to Langkawi ferry. A 5 - 10 minute walk. Entrance to hotel a little tricky to find as it’s a narrow door and then up some stairs to reception. Hotel is not wheelchair accessible (from main entrance at least). Reception doesn’t take credit cards and if you have pre-paid for your accommodation you will be asked to pay a deposit in cash which they will return to you when you check out. The hotel does not contain a restaurant or bar but there are close-by outside options. Including, unfortunately, a karaoke bar that is quite audible from your room. Sometime after midnight, things quieter down. The hotel needs a little paint in the common areas and our room had peeling paint in places and water stains and damage to the ceiling plaster. The room furniture needs a little TLC with for example knobs missing from a dresser. There’s no serviceable WiFi in the hotel and little of interest to traveler on the TV as There was no active subscription to the premium (read not local Malay) channels eg HBO, BBC, Discovery. If you have time to kill, you’ll have to go out for entertainment. Also worth noting there is no mosquito netting over the bathroom window — which is permanently open to the outside. I would recommend keeping the bathroom door closed at night. All that being said, the room and linens were very clean. The reception staff were bright and personable. For an overnight stay, Chambers Hotel is acceptable.

Amazing
The staff are friendly, the room is clean, spacious, and as you enter, you'd be greeted with a refreshing smell of citronella which helps in relaxation. This boutique hotel is very well equipped. It even has a safe box for those who needs it. The staff are friendly and the location is amazing. The cafe below serves amazing cakes. Quite a number of museums are within walking distance of this Hotel. This hotel is also just 2 minutes walk from where I need to go for work. So it's all good. I will definitely recommend this hotel and I would book again in the future.

Decent hotel
Located at the edge of Georgetown, it's close to a few places of interest and, for meals, there are a 7-11, a Subway and a cafe called Constant Gardener Coffee next door, and a restaurant inside that opens till midnight. The receptionist was helpful and friendly, and the check in process was smooth and efficient. The room was spacious and nicely furnished, but was rather dim. They definitely tried to remedy the mosquito infestation mentioned in previous reviews, but the three repellents in the room and the mosquito coils burning in the lobby still failed to completely prevent them from staying in the rooms. It was not pleasant to go to bed only to find a mosquito chilling on the pillow. Since the source is outside, there really isn't any other way to solve this problem as far as I know. By the way, the repellents also used up most of the available power outlets in the room, leaving just two for use, one of which was rather inconveniently located behind the couch. They also reduced the noise from outside with all the layers of windows but the occasional bass from somewhere nearby can still be heard at night, not to mention the general traffic noise given the proximity of the windows to the roads.

Large, comfortable room
Located on the edge of Georgetown, the hotel is about 10 mins walk from the ferry terminal if you are coming from the mainland. We stayed overnight before leaving for Singapore in the morning. The hotel itself is in a heritage building with nicely restored features, although there was a slight damp smell in the corridors. I believe there is an attached restaurant on the rooftop although it is very close to the Little India area and Chulia Street, both of which offer a plethora of tasty and budget-friendly local food options. Georgetown itself is very picturesque, and worth spending at least a few hours in. The room was extremely spacious, with a huge bed and sofa. There is a 7-11 just below the hotel if you need snacks and drinks.

A great unexpected find. Room was spacious and well appointed. Nice antique furniture. Good-looking bathroom. Only bad thing were the mosquitoes. Room can be noisy because of the street it faces.

Nice room but full of mosquitos and traffic noise!
Room is very specious ok comfortable; strong cold A/C. New LED tv with satellite box. But the big problem this guesthouse is full of mosquitos! After enter the room spend 20mins killing more than 15-20 mosquitos! Receptionist provide bug spray but it’s not safe to use before sleep! The main road outside is traffic noise non stop all night, hard to sleep. Disappointing experience given the nice decor.

Clean and Comfortable in a Great Location
My husband, 13 year old daughter and I stayed at the Chambers for 5 nights and we were very pleased with our stay there. I had initally booked 3 nights, checking in Dec 30, 2017 and checking out Jan 2, 2018 but after our first night we were so happy with the hotel, location, and staff that we asked to stay 2 more nights. The room was large and had a big window that faced the ocean (partial view) and a big grassy public area called the Padang Kota Lama, Fort Cornwalis is across the street and 2-3 minute walk to Little India, 5 min walk to Kwan Yin temple, 7-10 min walk to Chulia St. There is WiFi in the room but very sluggish at times, we went to the Constant Gardener coffe shop right downstairs for WiFi and coffee which worked out great. The hotel is small and charming, the staff was kind and attentive. There was one staff person who spoke very good English and was a great resource for activities, buses, taxi in Penang. Also if you ask, the hotel will do laundry, during our stay 8 RM (about 2 USD) per kilogram, which I thought a good price for not having to lug laundry around to find a cheaper place. I gave the laundry to the person at the front desk about 9 am and we received it that same evening. Overall I highly recommend The Chambers.

Nice location, friendly staff, reasonably price
We booked a family room for 3 nights. There are 2 queen-size beds and big bathroom. The staff there is very friendly. We're very happy with the service and the room. It's beyond our expectation. There is only one small thing; the floor in our room is quite dusty.
