JEN Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Close to a mall and lots of restaurants."

Gurney Bay Hotel, A PARKROYAL PARTNER HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second stay in this hotel. Location is perfect, nearby to town and also not too far away from Batu Ferringhi area. Although the hotel is a bit old, the staff truly make the difference. Housekeeping staff were very helpful and friendly, providing us with ample items upon request as they knew we do not require any housekeeping service during our stay. Concierge staff Badrol truly caught our attention, as he always smile at us and other guests. We could tell that he really take pride in his work and is a true epitome of what good service is about. Do extend our sincere appreciation to him. Looking forward to our next stay soon, thank you!"

The Millen Penang, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We booked the sea-view room and had a superb experience. The room was spotless, and the housekeeping was truly top-notch with great attention to detail and beautiful decorations throughout. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and everything looked and tasted great. On weekends, they even have a live band performing at the bar, which added a really nice atmosphere to the stay. As for getting into the city, we used Grab, and it was only about a 10-minute ride."
