Small clean room with a small price
This is a reasonably priced accommodation in a good location. The rooms are tiny, but clean and well maintained. Housekeeping is limited to every other day.

Front desk staff approachable and helpful. Overall, value for money. I liked the multistorey car park, as it was not on street level. Location was good.

The sink was clogged. We told the staff, and they said they will send a maintenance staff to look at it but it was never done. We ended up asking to change to a different room on the following day. We came back one day and saw the door was left open and unlock after the room was made. We'll never consider Cititel Express in future.

Decent stay
I booked this hotel due to its proximity to KOMTAR bus terminal for convenience of my Penang Bridge International Marathon travel. Room was quite small but facilities were good. Check in/out had to be done at The Wembley’s lobby. No free breakfast was included in my package.

The plus point of this hotel is location.
Total stayed 6 nights, 2 separate booking 4n + 2n
2nd day - got locked out fm my own room
3rd day - rushing out for my mum funeral, safe cant open. Lame reason was too many stuff in the safe (1 laptop, 1 ipad, 2 passports & prayer red pkts)
5th day - returned fm tiring prayer, got locked out fm room again. Reason was I supposed to checkout. I already extended & paid tourism tax on 2nd day of my stay
