My usual hotel in Penang . Convenient .
Room is clean overall but I have to say the hotel is getting a little older . Some of fixes can be a little more well thought to honest but overall still a comfortable stay . It used to be a vip property under hotels.com so it’s a pity the partnership of that has ceased

Location is good close to Gurney Plaza and Paragon Mall. Staff very welcoming right from arrival through to the time to depart. Rooms are well sized and very comfortable. Highly recommended if you are wanting to stay in Penang instead of the beach area at Batu Ferringhi.

The entire stay was incredible, from check-in to check-out.

Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a selection of ice cream flavors to help beat the heat a thoughtful touch that immediately showcased the hotel’s attention to detail.

The room was spotless and beautifully maintained. The complimentary minibar was a lovely surprise, and we really appreciated how clearly the additional amenities available upon request were listed. another great detail.

Breakfast offered a wide variety of vegetarian options, and the F&B team was exceptionally attentive and welcoming.

The swimming pool was top-notch, very clean and perfect for a relaxing dip while enjoying the view.

Overall, it was an outstanding stay. Thank you for making our experience truly memorable.

Check in was nice and smooth and they actually give our ice cream, as you wait for that one minute of checking in. which is a Very good idea as the weather is hot outside. The concierge was great too, soon as our cab arrives they come and help with our luggage then delivered to our room. That was a great help. Room was nice and clear give a feeling of welcome. The fridge in the room have a sticker telling one that the drinks is on the house, lot of hotel don't have that. If one needs to choose a hotel in Penang this is one of the hotel I strongly recommend.

Great hotel, very poor food and beverage.

Hotel is great and house keeping very good. The food and beverage is quite poor for the build of the hotel. The menu is tiny and not great. The drinks are quite poor. Also the staff are not attentive. Theres entire cafes with just no one in attendance at all. It is quite bizarre and they are clearly losing a decent share of money from this. If you went up to me when I was at the pool and asked if I wanted anything I would have, even from the limited menu. The cafe downstairs has never got any staff. If thats the case then just delete the cafe. It is far worse to have a bad, zero service cafe than it is to have a non existent one.

Whoever is in charge of the F&B at the hotel really is doing an exemptionally poor job. The rest of the hotel is great. From the door staff to the housekeeping. But the F&B is actually a wonderful example of how not to do something.

I booked this hotel because Expedia said it is a 5 star property. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The room was average; certainly not luxurious. The linens were low grade cotton and the towels were thin and similar to something you’d find at Marriott Courtyard. The soap, lotion and shampoo were also low quality and were locked down. The bathtub and shower were across the room from each other so if you wanted to use soap in the tub you had to move back and forth, or dispense soap into a cup and carry to the tub. Genius.

The gym was disgusting. Equipment was covered in recently deposited sweat. And while attendants occasionally showed up in the gym; none of them ever cleaned a thing. They’d attend to paperwork and then leave. Meanwhile the equipment and floor was dirty and there was hair everywhere. All 3 days.

I paid separately for breakfast. It was ridiculous. I know oatmeal is not necessarily a fan favorite but it should never have the consistency of a pond or a lake. This place never got the memo. While there was the customary piles of bacon and an omelette station, the fruit was sparse. I couldn’t get a banana two of the three days during my stay. Watermelon came with the rind, for free.

I take the blame for this mess too. I should have stayed at the Eastern and Oriental but it was substantially more, and again, Expedia told me this place is a 5 Star. My fault for believing this B.S. I am reminded that you get what you pay for.
