Is Nio Hotel worth it?
The property at 100 Jalan Burma, George Town, now operates as Nio Hotel. It was Tune Hotel Georgetown Penang until a rebrand that booking sites date to 2026, and Tune Hotels no longer lists a Penang property. It is a budget, no-frills hotel: air-conditioned en-suite rooms with free Wi-Fi and a safe but no television, a 24-hour front desk, mini-mart, free coffee corner and paid on-site parking, walking distance from New World Park and the Lorong Selamat hawker stalls.

The hotel at 100 Jalan Burma in George Town now trades as Nio Hotel. It ran as a Tune Hotel for more than a decade: Tune Hotel Penang opened here on 3 February 2013 after a refurbishment of an existing building, was renamed Tune Hotel - Downtown Penang, and then Tune Hotel Georgetown Penang, before the change to Nio Hotel that booking sites date to 2026. Tune Hotels no longer lists any Penang property on its own website, so if you booked here expecting the Tune brand, that brand no longer operates the property. It remains a plain, functional place to sleep rather than a hotel with resort facilities: air-conditioned rooms with en-suite bathrooms, hot showers, free toiletries, bed linen and towels, an in-room safe and free Wi-Fi. Rooms have no television, though there is a TV corner and a free coffee corner with unlimited refills in the public areas. The 24-hour front desk will help with tour arrangements, and there is a mini-mart on site, a lift, luggage storage and private on-site parking for a fee. The location is the main reason to stay: you are on Jalan Burma in central George Town, a short walk from New World Park and the Lorong Selamat hawker stalls, with the UNESCO heritage core and the Komtar area a few minutes away by car.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this still a Tune Hotel?
No. The property at 100 Jalan Burma now trades as Nio Hotel, with its own site at niohotel.com.my. Booking-site name histories record the change from Tune Hotel Georgetown Penang to Nio Hotel in 2026, and Tune Hotels does not list any Penang property among its own hotels. Some listings and directories still carry the old Tune name, so expect to see both.
Where is Nio Hotel in Penang?
It is at 100, Jalan Burma, 10050 George Town, Pulau Pinang. Booking listings give the fuller address as 100, Jalan Burmah, Section 15, George Town, 10050 Penang. It sits in the central George Town shopping district, roughly five minutes' walk from New World Park.
What was here before Nio Hotel?
Tune Hotel Penang opened on this site on 3 February 2013 following a refurbishment of an existing building, and was Tune's Penang property for over a decade. It was listed as Tune Hotel - Downtown Penang and later as Tune Hotel Georgetown Penang before the Nio rebrand.
Do the rooms have a television?
No. Booking listings for the property state plainly that rooms do not have a TV. The hotel's own site describes a TV corner in the public areas instead, alongside a coffee corner with free refills.
What is included in the room?
Air conditioning with a fan option, an en-suite bathroom with a hot shower and free toiletries, bed linen and towels, a personal safe, a desk and free Wi-Fi. Listings also mention a hairdryer and bedside sockets. Daily housekeeping is provided.
Is there parking?
Yes, private on-site parking, charged. Booking listings describe it as limited and payable per day, while the hotel's own site says it offers plenty of parking for guests, so the two do not agree on how much space there is. Accessible parking bays are listed.
What is nearby for food?
New World Park hawker complex is about five minutes' walk, and the Lorong Selamat char koay teow stalls are within walking distance. Red Garden Food Paradise and its night market are roughly fifteen minutes' walk. There are many more places to eat on and around Jalan Burma.
How far is it from the airport and the heritage sites?
Listings put Penang International Airport at about a 30-minute drive and Batu Ferringhi about the same. Komtar and the George Town heritage core are described as around a five-minute drive. Penang Adventist Hospital, Gleneagles Penang and Island Hospital are all within about a 10-minute drive.
