I've stayed in the Traders 6 or 7 times on work trips. It's wonderful- extremely helpful and welcoming staff, who take pride in giving a personal service. If you want a sun-and-sea holidy, you might prefer the Shangri-La, but the Traders is central for business and 'real life' Penang. Turn left out of the main door and visit the Komtar Centre or a modern shopping mall, or turn right, go up two escalators, and visit a real Malaysian market. A few yards more takes you to Penang Road which is full of real people buying and selling all manner. It's quite an experience- sights, sounds and smells! For the tourist things you can go on an organised trip, and a shuttle bus (no charge) runs between the Traders and the beach.
I had a club room with lounge access. It had a king size bed, a wardrobe, minibar and coffee tray, chest of draws with television on top, desk with chair, suitcase stand, bedside tables, sofa and coffee table. I find it hard to criticise in the light of the prices.

When I check-in to Traders Hotel, I was told that my booking was made for 2 Adult despite of my confirmation booking through your office clearly stated as TRIPLE. Breakfast and Club Facilities was only provided for 2 during my stay. Initialy they wanted to charge me for the extra bed. The staff also suggest that I should made booking with the Hotel direct in future. Quite disappointed with the First time booking arrangement.

Always try and select hotels where broadband access in the rooms is part of the room price. Slipped up here as had extra charge to pay.
