Hotels With Pools in Penang, Malaysia

Room is cozy. All amenities function well. Got hot shower. Superrr near to every viral spots in Penang, max is 11 minutes. Got 7eleven across the street and a small mart at the lobby. Hostess is super nice and room is clean and comfortable for my 3 nights stay. Downside: lift is SUPER small. Peak hour you have to wait at least 20mins for the lift cause its soo full. Infinity Pool is small.

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.

View from the apartment was amazing and just need to look through the window and you see the blue sky and ocean. Just that the apartment they gave us has 3 rooms and if you book 2 rooms they will locked up the one of the room. The issue is that when we checked in they just let the 3rd room open and we thought we could used it until the security guard came and knock the door and said he has to lock up one of the rooms.

Environment: The facilities are very new, and the bedding is good too. Service: The front desk service is excellent, with staff on duty at night, which is convenient for check-in and check-out. Location: Convenient, with many dining options nearby. Transportation: It's located in George Town, a bit far from the Old Town on foot (but fine if you like walking). You can take the bus, but you have to wait 😓. Ride-sharing apps like Grab are convenient. Security: There's security, and the elevator requires a key card, so it's quite safe. Hygiene: For an apartment hotel, it's exceptionally good. Free daily cleaning is offered, but you need to inform the front desk. Swimming Pool: Very good, many families with children were playing there.

A Studio apartment vibes, nicely renovated unit. Location is very good and central. Grab is affordable—around RM7–RM20++ to most places for 6 pax, and usually under RM30++ to the airport. Walking distance to vegetarian food like 8 Morality Vegetarian Restaurant, desserts at Four Beans, and close to 1st Avenue Mall, so getting around is easy. Unit is on level 29 with a nice Penang view. Morning sun comes in, but curtains are provided. Facilities are simple—a small gym and a swimming pool on level 36 with a good view. Security is good, with access card required everywhere, including your own floor. Essentials are well provided: Steamer, hair dryer, fridge, and even a wok if you want to cook. Hot and cold water dispenser is available—this is a super plus point. Shampoo and body soap are provided; please bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. Tv, ceiling fan and aircon is available. 4 charging points available at bedside. Table with 3 chairs for cozy lunch or quick bites. Grabfood very convenient, just collect it at the lobby will do. Check-in is at 3pm and check-out at 11am, which is reasonable. Instructions by MC Home are clear and easy to follow, as they are super responsive. A few small downsides: occasional plumbing smell near the lobby (around Bila Bila Mart, not inside the unit) - management should solve this and also no washing machine cum dryer is available, and the unit is close to the lift so you may hear some noise at night (once or twice — which is fine for us). The apartment is very new (completed mid-2025), so there may be some ongoing renovation works during the day. Still highly recommended! Had a good family staycation!

Perfect location, its easy to walk to the old town from the hotel , and its easy to get a grab bike. The room is very comfortable and clean!

It was superb during our stay at Gurney Bay Hotel! Thanks to the team for preparing an anniversary cake and decoration for us. A thing to highlight that they have also prepared the baby cot as per requested before our arrival❤️ They also prepare a cute Christmas gift for us. Location: the hotel is near to those attraction with great food and 3D art museum. Also, there is a nice park just opposite the hotel. It is really a relaxing trip staying at this hotel and will definitely come back again!

I did not book room with breakfast but decided to hv it the next morning. Upon paying I ask for receipt but was told no receipt will be issued. Wonders why? Restaurant staff hv language barriers. Either they dont speak or understand which is seriously annoying when you ask for something and they think you are talking in a foreign language when it’s just simple English. Checking in out is way too long, only one staff manning the reception.

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.

Location : This location is very superb. The seaview was astonishing. Food stalls are everywhere nearby. Services : Arrived late night to check in. The receptionist is not that helpful and not explaining much. Got some issues with breakfast where my room suddenly not breakfast included while we paid together for it when booking. Try to explain to the Indian F&B manager but at first he refuse to trust me and ask me to go to lobby. Thanks to Mr Vincent he sincerely apologise for the misunderstanding from the system. To the Indian F&B manager, you need to learn to apologise sincerely from Mr Vincent and learn some manners as I heard you talk bad about other customers as well. Food : Not much choice but the food was good. Overall, will be coming back in the future and I wish the services will be a lot better. TQ
