My flight was later in the evening but late check out timing will be 12 pm the latest. In this case I will be out without room for quite a number of hours. To my surprise, the hotel does cater a room for guests to rest and sit in after check out. This room is provide for guests who has check out but flight is much later, to have a place to rest and relax before proceeding to the airport. This is a very thoughtful action. Thanks.
The counter service name kelvin was so thoughtful by helping my mum to change room because her room side 1217 got indian temple chanting during midnight 4am to 9 am and make her cannot sleep thus kelvin the hotel stuff help her to change to lower room ( 1006) which is bigger , cleaner and no sound during midnight my mum and sister was satisfied and able to sleep well
Thank you once again to kelvin and hope he will be promoted to higher position ❤️👍🏻
Staffs were friendly and helpful. Able to get corner room with good Komtar tower and sea view. Check-in/out process was done fast and smoothly, no deposit collected. Room very spacious, comfortable king bed and 4 big pillow provided. Location is in main road to many attractions and local restaurants and free city bus stop no. 7 just in front of the hotel. Breakfast was splendid with very good variety of local, Chinese and Japanese meals. Really recommended!
Very new hotel an very fun vibes.
Room was very spacious and clean, though could still see some renovation leftover stains. The bathroom door could have been a better/heavier door, the current one feels too light and a little cheap. The bed is huge and comfortable! Balcony in our room is perfect for hanging swimwear to dry! Car park height restriction is 1.7m so larger cars need to park outdoor, but security does a great job to make sure that there’s space! There is no lift from car park to the lobby which was a shame, but it’s a work in progress. The walk from drop off to lobby is filled with steps/fairly steep ramp, so it’s tricky for people with weak knees or in wheelchair, though kids full of energy will find it very fun! Overall very good sty and friendly staff in the hotel. Xmas decorations were amazing and insta friendly!
hotel was quite new some of grab driver said us this hotel was built this year(2025) so clean.
easy access to every sightseeing by grab and 5-10mins walking can find local restaurants.
satisfied.
service quality was bad. hotel staff communication skill was no good .
The customer's request could not be fulfilled properly, and the apology was incomplete and unpleasant.
Beautiful heritage hotel with a touch of colonial charm. The location is convenient, within walking distance to many attractions and eateries. Room was spacious and clean, and the staff were polite and attentive. Breakfast spread could be slightly improved, but overall it was a very pleasant stay.
This was our first hotel in Malaysia, located half an hour's drive from the airport. The lobby is beautiful with live singers, creating a strong resort atmosphere. There's a large shopping mall nearby and it's not far from the night market. There are also many reputable currency exchange shops in the area. We booked a triple room, which was essentially a double room with a sofa bed added. Although a bit small, it was enough for our family of three.
The hotel is more than 40 years old and the rumour is tjt a new management has taken over and a major renovation is about to happen in 2026. The only thing we really enjoyed was the view from the rooms overlooking the sea and the Penang bridge. We were here becuase we attended a wedding and wanted the convenience but the Banquet team did not provide us with the best service for the event area and we have sent a separate email to address that.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel!
The location is perfect — very central and convenient. For travelers like me who don’t drive, this place is incredibly ideal. You can easily walk to many spots, and getting around is completely hassle-free.
The room was clean and comfortable, and the whole experience was wonderful. I would definitely come back again!
Indicated for birthday celebration, ignored remark, no service or extra wow service.
Requested for bouquet to deliver to room upon receive, reception keep it till evening until we call to request and reception request guard to deliver to us.
Overall hotel grade conventional hospitality. No wow service or beach grade 4 stars feel.
Parking need to walk very far to next building of you reach on weekend and if there is event.
Noisy and dirty beach due to abandoned wood branches and no maintenance
Very Good

GGuest Userthis hotel is good overall, but when we arrived, they told us that we didn't have a booking with them and they couldn't locate our booking and details. the room was also said to be taken, and they are waiting for a cancellation in order to get our room. There is a lot of confusion among staff. some visitors were told to leave their rooms once they have entered. we waiting 1 hr 30 min to get our room. so check in was at 4.30pm. parking was also very inconvenient, as we had to park at the basement, which was impossible to even get one if you came into the hotel late and a T&G card was also needed to get validated before leaving the hotel if we wanted a free spot. Room was very spacious and clean. the tea and coffee was hard like its never been changed.

GGuest UserI absolutely love this hotel! It far exceeded my expectations. Initially, I just wanted a value-for-money option for my Penang trip, but staying here turned out to be amazing. The location is very convenient for exploring George Town’s attractions. The breakfast is fantastic! On my last day, I had to catch an early flight and paid for breakfast—never expected the variety and quality of food to be so worth the price. The staff are friendly, and the housekeeping team is polite and welcoming. The night view through the floor-to-ceiling windows was my favorite moment each night. I’ll definitely choose St Giles again when I return to Penang!
GGuest UserOverall we are satisfied with our stay, the room is big. Cons - basin located outside of the toilet and no handwash provided, it is inconvenient for us. Also, we never expect we will be charged for RM10 per day for parking. Pros - the hotel is quite Instagrammable and good to have simple kids play room. Funny fact - hotel will give free drinks everyday but you need to redeem the voucher at the reception EVERYDAY, it is really funny, why don’t just give a total vouchers and state the day there?

MM326936****The room was quite new, it was an apartment. The pictures listed are actual photos, so you can trust them. We stayed in a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment for four people. It's located a little way from the city center, so we took taxis for everything. If you're staying in the city center, the apartments are quite old, so it's not necessary. I think this place is quite nice, and there's even an infinity pool on the rooftop. Highly recommended.

YYatie.OthmanThis was my 2nd time here, thanks to the kind receptionist cos my room was upgraded to sea view level, my kids were so happy and really enjoyed the slides and mini water park, i personally love the breathtaking view from the hotel room and the sea view , breakfast was great, ample of car parking, for sure i will come again with my family.
IIsabelleyishaThe hotel location is right on the hot spot of Georgetown. But it goes with noise at night until 2am. So if you plan to be partying at night it's ideal and walking distance to Love Lane and all Georgetown touristic areas.
But if you wish to sleep and relax after midnight definitely not the right hotel for you.
The room was OK in terms of size but a lot of mosquitoes coming from the bathroom drain. I've killed at least 50 of them thanks to a mosquito raquet 🤣 The tip is to close the bathroom curtains so they don't get in the bedroom.
Humidity in the room had the paint peeling off.
For the price I don't think the room quality was enough. Specially for the humidity and mosquitoes combination.
The breakfast menu was not available but you can easily go down the street and eat at ease or order with the application grab. No bar available in the hotel.
The shared areas are clean. Loved that you have to take off your shoes at the entrance.
There are stairs to get into the hotel but they help you with your luggage. The first time you arrive you need to ring the bell for them to come open for you. Small door not easy to spot at first. I suggest to the hotel to stick the name directly on the door at eye level and big to avoid confusion. I've uploaded a picture of the door for you to not get lost.
After you check in they will give you the door code so easy for you to get by.
Staff has been helpful when asked but not interacting or giving you suggestion or asking you how things are going.
I've rated cleanness average because there was a lot of hair in the bathroom when I arrived. Had to literally take it off during 5 minutes. Thick long hair... Not sure how they didn't spot it.
Apart of that they were cleaning all right the rest of the stay.
Internet was not easy to get when in the room but in common areas or close to the door of the room works better. Don't save on a sim card and buy at the airport for having internet at all times on your phone. Will help you with maps and outside anyway.
The taxi from the airport was very convenient only 30 minutes and I ordered with grab came within 5 minutes.
Hope this information helps 🌹
