Mid-range hotel
Neo+ is the practical pick for a self-driving or first-time visitor who wants a modern room and a car park in the middle of George Town, rather than the character (and the parking headaches) of a heritage shophouse stay.
Hotel Neo+ Penang is a contemporary, design-led hotel at 68 Jalan Gurdwara, run under the Aston/Archipelago group. It sits on the western edge of George Town's old town, right beside the Komtar transport-and-shopping hub and the Hin Bus Depot creative quarter, rather than deep among the Armenian Street and Chulia Street shophouses. The pay-off is a central base that is a little calmer and easier to reach by car, with the UNESCO heritage core a 15-minute walk or short ride away. There are 196 rooms across four room types, from a compact Superior (around 21 square metres) up to Family Rooms, all with a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee facilities, a work desk and free WiFi. On site there is a restaurant, a gym, meeting rooms, a 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security, and, unusually for central George Town, the hotel has its own multi-level car park. Airport transfers and laundry are offered as chargeable extras. Some of the city's most famous street food, the Penang Road chendul and the cafes around Lebuh Keng Kwee among it, is a short ride or roughly a 15-minute walk away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Hotel Neo+ Penang, and how central is it?
It is at 68 Jalan Gurdwara on the western edge of George Town's old town, beside the Komtar transport hub and the Hin Bus Depot creative quarter. The UNESCO heritage core, with the Armenian Street and Chulia Street shophouses, is about a 15-minute walk or a short ride away.
Does it have parking?
Yes, and it is one of the hotel's real advantages: it has its own multi-level car park, which is genuinely useful in George Town, where many heritage hotels have no parking of their own. It is a sensible base if you are driving around the island.
Does it have a swimming pool?
The hotel's own listing highlights a restaurant, a gym, meeting rooms and family rooms, but it does not advertise a swimming pool, so do not count on one. If a pool matters to you, confirm directly with the hotel before booking.
What rooms does it have, and is it good for families?
There are 196 rooms across four room types, including Family Rooms. The Superior is compact at about 21 square metres and rates start around RM180 (seen June 2026, so check current pricing); families or anyone wanting more space should book a Family Room.
Should I pick Neo+ or a heritage hotel?
Pick Neo+ for modern comfort, on-site parking and a central, easy-to-reach location. If your priority is old-town character, a restored shophouse closer to Armenian Street will feel more special, though usually without parking.
