Gurney Bay Hotel, A PARKROYAL PARTNER HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Nice view. Great breakfast. Not super modern but great for the price."

The Prestige Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"What an impressive stay this was! Fahmi in particular was 11/10 on service. He looked after us from the minute we checked in till our final night with recommendations and helpful hints and tips. He was a pleasant smile every day when we got up and come back at night. Truely exemplary service at the hotel. Even to the point of asking the taxi driver to move the seat forward for my partners long legs in the back. Loved the water access in the room and convenience this gave us to be able to drink freely. Steamer and hairdryer in room. Welcome drink. Maybe a suggestion for a top sheet on the bed but otherwise truely 5 star hotel."

Eastern And Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic place! Bedrooms were spacious, comfortable and spotless. All amenities were well appointed and maintained. Breakfast and dining options were excellent as well as the bar - very cozy. Location was excellent too. Everything we wanted to city in town was within walking distance or a short Grab ride away."

Areca Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was very kind and concerned about our experience. The hotel is beautiful and located on the edge of the historic area. The rooms are comfortable. They serve an amazing breakfast and tea. When on the first day, restaurant staff learned I was a vegetarian, they went and made special food for me! Then, afterwards they checked in with me to make sure I had a good selection. Quite amazing. A wonderful choice in Penang."
