Disappointed with the stay

Overall it was satisfactory. But for a 5 star hotel, they are really below mark. I think the service providers did their best within their means but there could be lack of proper supervision, management and leadership in this hotel. Rooms were clean, bathroom was clean, but the restaurant service was poor and also during breakfast time. Eg the waiter used his hand during toasting the bread. Also I gave the ice pack (used to store some special medicine while travelling) to be kept in the freezer as there was no freezer in the room. The refrigerator was inadequate to keep the ice pack cold. On the 4th day when I got it back, the ice pack had already melted as they did not put it in the freezer. The instruction that I gave to the Duty Manager (Farish) was not complied with. It was quite shocking. I would not recommend this hotel as a 5 star hotel mainly due to poor service and the attitude of the staff at the front desk who did not show the due care when I complained about the ice pack. I got the answer “the management having meeting”. I expected as least someone from the management should quickly come up to hear my complain when it is fresh. Feedback like this was very useful to the hotel but they lost the opportunity.

Food is good. However, hotel needs some upgrading works. 1) room smells musty. Probably because carpet is old 2) have some difficulty accessing room floor because hotel card doesn't work in one of the lift 3) room door knob needs repair

マレーシア科学大学に隣接するコスパの良い高級ホテル

ビジネスで３泊。空港からアクセスがよいが、このホテル周辺にはコンビニなどはない。そのため、基本的にはホテル内あるいはとなりのゴルフコースで過ごすことを前提とするか、あるいは、ホテルからタクシーあるいはgrabで街に外出することを前提とする場合の宿泊とおもう。客室はきれいに清掃がされており、清潔である。シャワーにお湯がでないということはない。浴槽も広々としている。アメニティは歯ブラシ、シャンプー、リンス、スリッパ等一通りのものは揃っている。バルコニーからはジョージタウンを一望できる立地。マレーシア科学大学には5分歩けばキャンパスに到達する。ロビーから客室までが若干遠い。バーやレストランが併設されており、ビールも飲める。コストパフォーマンスがよい高級ホテルである。

Overall, a very nice property. A bit far from Georgetown but close to the airport. Nice and quiet and costs only about 20 Ringit using grab to hit downtown. Nice pool. Squash court paint peels but this is a minor complaint.

A beautiful property where the indoor and outdoor merge. Beautiful greenery and decor. Lovely rooms with views over Penang. A choice of restaurants and a lovely pool area. Really enjoyed our stayed and extended it twice! Service in one of the restaurants was slow. We are vegetarian and breakfast buffet was not accurately labelled. Not leaving enough towels in the bathroom. Not near any amenities so needed to get a taxi everywhere but taxis are so cheap! Other than this would highly recommend staying here and would stay again. Great value for money!
