It's located very near to the sea and gurney park, hence easy to make a soft walk for us there. Hotel room which we booked is quite spacious and pleased to see the sea view every day. Housekeeping is quite good and bellman too. But receptionists are seemed to be unforthcoming per my perspective point of view, the rest are very best and likely to visit there again.

My elderly parents stayed at The Gurney during their medical checkup in Penang and accidentally left behind some documents. We emailed the hotel and left a message through booking.com to no avail. Then through a phone call, we got connected to Danesh at the Concierge Department, who then went the extra mile to coordinate among various departments within the hotel, and mailed the document through express courier service. His attentive service is highly appreciated.

It started off rough. Got into the hotel early to leave our luggage and the guy manning the check in was cold, standoffish, and didn’t even bother replying to our pleasantries. When we returned, a misunderstanding ensured. Cos of my earlier encounter, I was just unreasonable. But thank goodness for Suhaila (I think) and her manager - they deescalated the situation with grace and aplomb. That bump aside, I had a lovely time. Was in room 213. Initially I was worried because I have read about noise issues coming from the club next door. But either the club was closed or the soundproofing worked, there were no disturbances. We slept like babies. The room was beautiful, and the location is amazing. This hotel is highly Recommended. Just don’t bother to pay extra for the breakfast. That was just too sad. We tried it on our last day in the hotel as we were leaving early for the airport. It was dismal.

DISGUSTING HOTEL. This hotel has BED BUGS. We stayed in room 308 for one night and discovered bed bugs (pictured) and we were moved to room 305 where we immediately found another bug in the bed. We took photos and videos and showed the reception and we checked out 2 nights early. They said they understand, gave us free coffee, and said they’d get us a refund by Monday. We have now been told we are not getting refunded for 2 nights we didn’t stay. This is appalling behaviour and has cost us over £200 in extra hotels. I would never ever recommend Lyf to anyone. We were covered in bites and now are worried we’ve got bed bugs in our luggage. DO NOT STAY HERE. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

We stayed with the Ascott group numerous times for its cleanliness and well-maintained facilities around the world, and Citadines Connect Georgetown is no exception. The building is renovated from a historical building which gives the hotel a mixture of cultural and contemporary vibe. It's a 3-story newly-built hotel and everything you see is brand new and tidy. The lobby is not large, but there are plentiful spaces to rest for a while. The room we stayed in is Studio Executive, and it's clean enough. The air-conditioning system utilized a touch panel for you to easily adjust to your liking. There are no drinking bottles inside the room but a water dispenser is just in the hallway, both environment-friendly and convenient. One of the things worthy of notice is the tap water system, where hot and cold water may be installed conversely. The hotel itself is located around minutes walk from Komtar neighborhood, and you can easily take buses to the airport or to other areas of Penang via the Komtar terminal. Several malls are also in this area to give you the convenience of shopping. The well-known hawker food centre at Lebuh Presgrave crossroad is also close by, where you can easily grab most of the famous and delicious local dishes here. CAT bus station is also not far from the hotel, and you can tour the UNESCO sites with it for a day trip. Overall, it's an excellent choice to stay here for its brand-new facilities, and its convenience regarding transportation, shopping, and dining.

The hotel staff are so friendly, attentive and helpful. I was constantly greeted with a smile and everyone offered their help when I looked confused. The room was clean, spacious for 2 people with 2 big luggage bags. The complimentary snacks in the room were a pleasant surprise. The pool is breathtaking and lastly I appreciated the 24/7 manned reception it made checking in and out so efficient. I will definitely stay at the Prestige when I visit Penang.

You have to contact the accommodation 1 day in advance, but it is not difficult. The accommodation is very good. There are all the facilities. I am very impressed.

Outstanding
AAngelynnWe had a relaxing and memorable stay at E&O. Our room offers a sea view which is great and feel peaceful. Although the hotel is a bit old, it’s generally well maintained. Staff are always smiling and willing to help. They provide new towels and bottled water every day. Staff service at the breakfast buffet are excellent. Sunset was beautiful.
EEsraa AttamimiSleepbox Penang offers a unique and budget-friendly experience right in the heart of George Town. I loved the modern, capsule-style concept that provides privacy and comfort without breaking the bank. Despite being compact, the rooms were clean and equipped with essentials like good Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
The location is fantastic, within walking distance of many heritage sites and local eateries. The staff was friendly and helpful, offering great recommendations for things to do in the area.
AAnonymous UserStrategic place in Georgetown, nearby to most of the famous foods. Walking distance. Nearby, 5 minutes walk is a night market selling char kuey teow, satay, chicken wings and many more.
Hotel is clean, staffs are friendly, able to assist in all our queries.
Parking is free, just get the waiver ticket from the lobby counter.
Overall great experience.
YYeapSTI had booked 4 rooms for 4 nights stay at St Giles Penang George Town, 6-10 Nov 2024. My group of friends totally enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and cosy. At the front desk reception, we received the prompt and friendly service from Karthy, ever smily and helpful. She had also helped to assign rooms together on the high floor as requested. At checkout, we were again served by her with warmth and smile. St. Giles has a wonderful staff. Location is central, excellent to explore the streets. Hospility we received at St. Giles is superb. Great views from hotel rooms.
Great job! St. Giles' Georgetown Penang team.
YYeo AnsonSuperb location and walking distance to famous eateries .. good service and the room features are exactly same as advertised. The pool view is nice which was facing the Komtar. Grab to the hotel from airport cost fr RM18-20. I will stay again when I visit Penang . Value for money
GGuest UserStayed here one night in family suites with 2 rooms with my 2 kids, the hotel is not far from Komtar penang. Parking is not an issue even for our MPV, their rotating car park with escalator can move the car into empty slot. Check-in is fast and we stayed at level 19th with nice city and some ocean view. Room is very big with a living room, master room with big washroom and changing cabinet, and another connecting room. Wifi is fast and there are 19 tv channels to choose from. Next morning we went for their gym at level 22, not very big but good enough with 5-6 workout machines. Breakfast is at level 21 buffet styles, choice is just nice, not many but food is ok with reasonable price, only RM21 per pax.
GGuest UserThe location of the hotel is great. Pretty close to Komtar and a lot of restaurants nearby including a variety of food choice. The hotel room is rather small but very clean and tidy. Clean up was done everyday. However, the lighting a bit dim inside the room. All in all, our stay was comfortable.
GGuest UserI have stayed in many hotels and even I'm also a hotelier. Requested for early check in at least 15 minutes earlier but the reception strictly allowed to check in after 3pm only. There must be some give and take with guest, then only we can thoroughly enjoy the hotel and service. If the room is ready, please allow the guest to check in abit early. It's not compulsory but it will help to make the guest happy with customer service.
AAndrewCscThe room and the bed were comfortable. The bathroom was big. Would be better if there are more hooks or hangers to hang the clothes and towels. The Breakfast spread was simple but good enough for us as the first meal. Service Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel location is within walking distance to popular locations like Campbell Street, Chulia Street Night Market, Armenian Street.
AAnonymous UserThe location of the hotel is remarkable, very good, convenient to go everywhere. Downstairs is next to a breakfast shop, the roast meat and white chicken are absolutely delicious, especially delicious.
The hotel is very clean, and the accommodation is satisfactory. It is a good choice to only sleep and mainly go out for fun. The only dissatisfied waitress who came down to open the door for us was thin and wearing a nose stud, very arrogant and impolite. The slightly fatter waitress responsible for checkin is very good, and the male waiter who cleans the room is also very good.
