Surprised by how clean it was despite being an old hotel in the area. I am overall satisfied with the hotel and my room, especially the cleanliness of the toilet and tub area. If I have to be really fussy and pin point a thing I did not like, it would be that the blanket is slightly thinner than I would normally prefer a hotel blanket to me. However, this is just my very fussy side speaking. Overall, I would give this hotel a 4.9 out of 5.
I had booked a room with breakfast during my two days there for a workshop. Both days are somewhat the same, food was decent. The workshop provided lunch which led me to again dining in the lunch buffet section, overall it was pleasant. I like it that the hotel provided a variety of Penang food over the two days. My fav was the rojak which I took a photo here haha! Hub enjoyed the pool and hot & cold pool (sadly the sauna was under maintenance).
Before I checked out, I also happened to be part of the Penang heritage launch ceremony. So, I got to see some of the really beautiful art work and nyonya clothing items on sale at the pop up stalls at the lobby too. The hotel also was serving nutmeg juice and Penang famous snack 豆沙饼.
I must mention too, that I got a sea view room which allowed me to see the extension project by MBPP. There was a very happening and lovely park opposite the hotel just minutes walk away. I couldn’t help to bring myself over and was really happy to experience the joy of the families enjoying the facilities there. Huge slide, lots of climbing equipment and a very decent skatepark! Running track was very nice too! You must check it out if you’re in Penang!
It was overall a pleasant stay in all.

The Millen is an elegant hotel, beautifully crafted to make us feel like we'd stepped into one of the HGTV designed homes! We'd booked a room with seaview on 6 July 3025, and were given a high floor. It was so great to wake up to the sun reflecting on the sea. The bathroom with 2 vanities was so big and spacious, and the bathtub was right beside the window with the magnificent view! The hotel incorporated modern technology to make our stay so user friendly - a tap of the room card in the lift sensor will bring us directly to our level (there are only 4 buttons to press to go to the public areas). The curtains in the room opened/closed with the touch of a button too. We enjoyed the breakfast main courses at the Lili. All the staff were friendly and helpful; they decorated our room for husband's birthday, and served us a slice of cake upon check-in (and welcome drinks at the reception). We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and relatives!

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was beautifully designed, with a filtered water faucet that added extra comfort and convenience. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.
The location is perfect for anyone looking to explore George Town. It’s just a 10-minute walk from the jetty, making it easy to get around. There is a convenience store and several cafes located on the first floor, which made grabbing a quick bite at the end of the day super convenient.
The gym is on the smaller side, but it’s well-equipped with all the basic necessities for a decent workout. Overall, a wonderful place to stay, I’d definitely return!

Location is super near to a very big mall which is Gurney Plaza, just walk less than 2min after exit hotel lobby
Cleaniness are well maintained. Super friendly staff, feels welcome the moment u stepped in.
I took the executive package which comes with free flow drinks, food, and also simple dinner and free flow alcohol in the evening. However if you are planning for food trip around Penang you might want to opt out this.
Free parking, decent size swimming pool for children, great gym with lots of equipment but might be a bit cramp, great variety for breakfast buffet.
They share facilities with nearby G Hotel Kelawei like swimming pool, gym and lounge. Besides Kelawei has a pool party which is free to play. They have a buggy to bring you there too.
Cons
I got a room with bad working AC. Took some time to get it done.
I took the buffet dinner at 168 but not much choices and even though the theme is crab but the crab always gone the moment they refill and you need to wait min 10min till the next round. Would recommend to go outside for a better dinner.

Had always been contemplating whether or not to try G Hotel Kelawai. Bit the bullet and here's my review;
Room is spacious and comfortable, bed is top notch. Free minibar (replenished daily) is a plus. Swimming pool is nice although a bit shallow, and Gravity is a nice place to chill at night with view overlooking the island and Bukit Bendera.
Is it worth the money? Yes. Location? Perfect. It'd be hard to find another hotel in Penang that checks all my boxes, and this could be it.

Pleasant stay! Like the kitchen design concept, can dabao food back hotel and eat at a dining table. Do remember close the door else will the aircond will turn off automatically for energy saving. Very spacious room, also like the extra fan in the room so can use if the temperature is too cold. The breakfast also nice and variety option. Swimming pool is endless view. Still waiting gym to open. Hotel location also strategic, convenient to go the nearby famous food stall. The only thing to me is the bathroom door, it will be good if is more privacy. Haha. Overall, definitely will be back again!

AAnonymous UserWe had a pleasant experience and loved staying at the accommodation. It was well equipped with amenities (smart tv, air purifier) and well located with eateries and convenience store nearby . The sea view from the apartment was amazing. Additionally, the host (Yeoh) was extremely helpful in providing recommendations to go or eat within Penang and was prompt in answering queries related to the apartment. In summary this is a hidden gem worth staying .
GGuest UserFive-star facilities, five-star front desk service, but one-star doorman service. I leave this review for all non-white potential guests: There's evident racial discrimination in the concierge service here. The doormen exclusively assist white guests by greeting them, opening car doors, and handling luggage. My family felt uncomfortable about it, so I can no longer ignore their experience. While the hotel itself is beautiful and all the rest staffs are friendly and professional, I strongly recommend standardizing your SOP or replacing the door team.
British colonialism ended decades ago.
HHidudeDefinitely the best hotel in Penang🔥🔥🔥
I spent a very nice night here. The staff here were very helpful. They always smiled and chatted with me in a friendly way. I came a little early on the day of check-in. Not only did the staff not refuse my early check-in, they also upgraded me to a super spacious room with very retro furnishings and a large bathroom with two sinks! I was very pleasantly surprised by all this!
The public area decoration of the hotel is also very casual and suitable for checking in. I personally think it is much better to take pictures than the Nyonya Museum in Penang. If you don’t like to clock in, you can also stay at the dining table in the public space to dine while admiring the scenery of the hotel.
The breakfast in the hotel is also very delicious. I had a big breakfast, which was very filling. There were also some breads and cereals to choose from. The breakfast lounge is a Chinese-style space, and there are fans to keep you cool. The whole breakfast is satisfying and comfortable.
When I left, I asked the staff to store my luggage for me until the evening, and they readily agreed. I am very grateful that they were willing to store my luggage for me even after checking out. I am very grateful. The experience of staying here is first-class. It gave me a very good memory in Penang. If I have the opportunity to visit Penang again, this place will definitely be my best choice!
