Hotels With Pools in Penang, Malaysia

The room's hardware facilities are quite good, offering high value for money. It's definitely a hotel worth staying at. However, the hot water in the room isn't great; if two people shower, there needs to be a long gap, otherwise the second person won't have hot water. Also, the promised daily cleaning didn't happen; we stayed two nights, and there was no housekeeping service on the second day.

Check in lobby was hard to locate as it was at the side of the hotel block. Upon check in, I was given third floor. When I asked if I could have higher floor as indicated in my booking request, staff said I need to top up. This was clearly upselling. I was not willing as the price for each room was not cheap in the first place. Staff knew that i was aware it was the bottom tier room & mentioned the freebis in the room was npt charged. I was not impressed as I do not come all the way to Penang for some freebies. Hptel staff obviously did not know what hospitality is all about.Entering the room, it was not too bad. When I opened the window, I almost flipped out. It was rubbish (attached a pic). I then confirmed I was given the bottom tier room. Opening the wardrobe, there was a musty oily smell which obviously was not aired for a while. Stay at room was not comfortable. Badly lit and no way to open window to rubbish view. I guess the only good thing was the shuttle to the various shopping/ eating spots. Upon check out, i was asked if stay was good. I indicated to the staff my stay at the hotel was disappointing due to the above reasons. Staff said i could email the hotel in advance in my next visit indicating the reason above. But I will like to tell the management this -- no way am i coming back to this hotel that only know to upsell & missing out on what true hospitality means. There are hotels out there that offer much better services without breaking the bank. Thanks but no thanks.

The accommodation is in a convenient location, easy to travel to, and there is a convenience store at the hotel. The hotel is near the sea, has a good atmosphere, and the receptionists are friendly and provide detailed information about the room. There is a room deposit of 100 ringgit, which will be returned on the check-out day.

I wasn't expecting this level of comfort and amenities for this price. The room was very clean and had everything you need, even an EV charger. I managed to get help from security to help access it. There's convenience store next to reception too, if you need to grab something. The location is perfect too, it's a walking distance to many eateries and bar. I'm not sure if this constitutes a negative but I find the parking very narrow. You'll need to make a few spiral towards level 4 and every point of the way, I felt I will probably scratch the car along the way. Even the turning once you reach the actual carpark is very tight.

Central location that is close by to both local as well as touristy food options. Very new building. The communications from the contact person were clear and simple from the get go. The bedding was firm and good. Perhaps two areas of improvement is that the chairs were a lil too ”loud” when you push it in/out without lifting (a leg cushion would have been good to drown out the noise). The other was that the Aircon was somewhat directed at one side of one of the beds. Otherwise, the stay was good from start to end.

The hotel is more than 40 years old and the rumour is tjt a new management has taken over and a major renovation is about to happen in 2026. The only thing we really enjoyed was the view from the rooms overlooking the sea and the Penang bridge. We were here becuase we attended a wedding and wanted the convenience but the Banquet team did not provide us with the best service for the event area and we have sent a separate email to address that.

- The staff took off their shoes when entering the room, which was a nice touch. The room was cleaned promptly; some 5-star hotels don't even clean until 3 PM, and we were staying multiple nights, so they treat repeat guests well. - Booked a sea view suite, the room was very spacious, the living room was very comfortable, and the price was great for such a beautiful view. - There's a children's play area upstairs, which is great for toddlers. - Breakfast was excellent and abundant, and the curry was incredibly delicious.

everything is ok.. the breakfast food is delicious while eating you can see the sea.. the view is beautiful.. the location is good.. the beach is close to the hotel.. only the cleanliness is a little lacking in the room.. the bed sheet is dirty but a little.. the worst thing is the smell of the pillow is a bit less pleasant.. hope the hotel can make improvements

We stayed in G Hotel Kelawai for 5 nights. The hotel is between two shopping malls - Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon. Excellent location. Another hotel nearby (about 400m) is G Hotel Gurney. Both the hotels' guests are given the option to use each other's facilities and guests are given the flexibility to have their breakfast at either hotel without any advanced notice. By the way, G Hotel Gurney is the older hotel and is directly connected to Gurney Plaza, whereas G Hotel Kelawai is less crowded and quieter, which we liked. The breakfast variety is acceptable for guests who are on a short stay. Out of curiosity, we wanted to try out the breakfast at G Hotel Gurney but were prevented from doing so because of the heavy rain. Upon request, hotel guests can commute between the two by the hotels' buggy. The 25-m swimming pool and gym in Kelawai were hardly used. Clean and well-maintained rooms.

It is a beach front hotel. The reception staff is friendly and nice. There is a shop opposite the reception . You can buy shop batik clothes, souvenirs, swimsuits and jewellery there. There is a lounge too with open sea view. You can feel relaxed with music and enjoy drinks there. The room is clean and spacious. There is a swimming pool for kids . It is a nice beach for children to play and swim too . Guests can park car in the car park. The is a gym with swimming pool views. But it is small and not lots of equipment. There are some restaurant in walking distance.
