It was a last minute booking and we also had to extend our stay. The front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating. She deserves 5 stars.
Absolutely LOVE the location. (but beware, the Grab's GPS hasn't been entirely up-to-date so the drivers have struggled to find the place)
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.
Excellent Location, not too far from Tanjung Bungah & Batu Feringgi or from Pulau Tikus & Georgetown. Love that both bedrooms and master bath faces the ocean. Bathing with the sound of the ocean (wow). Place was well maintained and clean. Sea facing view from the living room sofa is absolutely great.
A tip for those who love to have breakfast by the sea, Oceano Symphony has the vibe, great food and view to satisfy all. Just walk abt 700m from the beach (tanjong point has a back door access to the beach). Or go in the evening for dinner, its low tide then. For breakfast hour, make sure you start walking before 8am for breakfast or the tide will cut you off the beach access after 9am. Price is a bit on the higher side but its a holiday... And you are paying for the view and good food. Otherwise, drive over to Biru-biru cafe located in Lost Paradise resort, Tanjong Bungah area.
Environment: The facilities are very new, and the bedding is good too.
Service: The front desk service is excellent, with staff on duty at night, which is convenient for check-in and check-out.
Location: Convenient, with many dining options nearby.
Transportation: It's located in George Town, a bit far from the Old Town on foot (but fine if you like walking). You can take the bus, but you have to wait 😓. Ride-sharing apps like Grab are convenient.
Security: There's security, and the elevator requires a key card, so it's quite safe.
Hygiene: For an apartment hotel, it's exceptionally good. Free daily cleaning is offered, but you need to inform the front desk.
Swimming Pool: Very good, many families with children were playing there.
Studio room type with 2 queen beds. Self-service hotel. Collect your own key from the locker, PIN information, etc. via WhatsApp. The place is still new. Renovations are still underway in the units on the left and right of the room. The location is close to Island Hospital (by walking 15 minutes). Cold AC. Good bed. Smooth shower water.
Great service from the reception, especially Mr. Sri
Restaurants, Chulia streets where most pubs are located are all within walking distance.
A bit tricky to find the hotel carpark as the entrance is under a shop house pillar with BIG word Honda at the side wall
Recommend to walk to Red garden food court, nice food and vibes with performance
The hotel looks a little old, but everything is really well maintained and clean. The facilities are great, especially the gym. It’s fully equipped with dumbbells, barbells and all kinds of machines for different workouts. There’s also a sauna, steam room and hot and cold jacuzzis, all in good working condition.
The location is perfect, right along Gurney Drive. Get a sea view room if you can because the view is amazing whether it’s sunrise or sunset. It’s also super convenient with Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon just a short walk away, and plenty of food options nearby. Taking a Grab to town takes only about 10 minutes.
Breakfast was really good too. There’s a wide mix of local and international dishes that change daily, plus an egg and roti canai station where you can order fresh.
Service was okay, though the staff weren’t as warm as I expected from a five star hotel. Overall, it was a comfortable stay in a great location with solid facilities and food.
everything is ok.. the breakfast food is delicious while eating you can see the sea.. the view is beautiful.. the location is good.. the beach is close to the hotel.. only the cleanliness is a little lacking in the room.. the bed sheet is dirty but a little.. the worst thing is the smell of the pillow is a bit less pleasant.. hope the hotel can make improvements
A big thumbs up to G Hotel Kelawai for their excellent service and thoughtful coordination! From the very day of booking, the reservation team impressed us with their prompt responses and attention to detail. A special thanks to Ms Thurga from Reservations, who ensured that every arrangement for my wife’s surprise birthday was perfectly taken care of. Her immediate follow-ups and genuine care made the planning process seamless.
We were also pleasantly surprised with a spacious room and a stunning city view, which made the celebration even more special. Truly a memorable stay — thank you to the team for making it so wonderful.
Flamingo Hotel by the Beach is a good choice for travelers who prioritize a beachfront location and a large, family-friendly pool. While some aspects of the hotel may feel a bit old, the beautiful views, good service, and convenient amenities make it a worthwhile option for a relaxing stay in Penang.
Very Good

GGuest UserStrongly recommend Sunway Georgetown. Tho 31 yr old, extremely well maintained, at least for my room. Location 5*. Just outside hotel bustling with activities n street food stalls in evening. Walking distance to Macalister Road, again bustling with plenty food choices/shops. I can’t find even 1 negative aspect of hotel! Staff very friendly n helpful. The shower water pressure was very strong, can aqua massage. The young male housekeeper always smiling. Also strongly recommend must visit, Kirishima Japanese resto in the lobby of Cittitel Hotel. For hotel setting, n qualify of food, esp sashimi air flown from Japan, can’t get this price n qualify in Singapore! So good that we went twice. Even their Otoro n chuotoro, charged by per piece or set of 5 thick cuts, not think slices, was value for $! Look for the manageress Jane Tan, a gem n star of the resto! Another must visit for morning snacks n kopi, Moh Teng Peow Nonya kueh. Very authentic n traditional setting. Kuehs are handmade in-house! Wonderful experience! The only negative is Penang island itself! Quite dead town, not much changes in tourist attractions from 30 yr ago. Penang hill, khek lok si temple, chawrasta morning market, Armenian street, Cornwall fort. Used to be popular komtar mall, even newer parangin mall are deserted with most shops shuttered! There are many old charm colonial buildings. Most McDonald’s are housed in such colonial buildings. Penangites are generally very friendly. We happen to be here during durian season. Macalister Road n even outside hotel are lined with durian stalls. Relatively much cheaper than in Singapore n I m talking about the AAA grade mao san wang cultivar. Fooding n bingeing is apt for Penang, not touristy spots tho, esp if u have been here before, even long ago. Attached pictures show day n nite views from same angle in the room.
SsnowcatThe E&O Hotel was definitely the highlight of my trip to Malaysia! Highly recommended! This 140-year-old heritage hotel is one of the world's three grand old hotels. Its architecture boasts strong British colonial characteristics, and the interiors are incredibly luxurious, adorned with numerous antique furnishings and artworks. Many world-renowned figures have stayed here. Every corner offers a picturesque photo opportunity, no filters needed! I recommend staying in the Legacy Wing to enjoy more exclusive hotel perks, such as the benefits listed in the last picture that we enjoyed during our three-day stay (the hotel even complimentary a bottle of nice red wine!).
Exploring the hotel itself each day was a delight, saving us from having to venture out in the scorching sun to find attractions. Three days wasn't nearly enough. The staff were all wonderful, and the hotel guests included many elderly Caucasian tourists from Europe and America, as well as many Chinese travelers like us, visiting during Golden Week. The staff were always smiling and treated everyone equally, regardless of their nationality. The breakfast selection was extensive; we tried breakfast at three different restaurants, each with its own unique charm, accompanied by beautiful scenery and antique furniture – very satisfying! 👍 The hotel has two pools: one on the ground floor by the sea, and another infinity pool on the 6th floor. Both are stunning. There were often many Chinese women taking photos by the pool, but not actually swimming, which left me plenty of space. I even learned how to breaststroke in just three days, haha!
The hotel is located in George Town, surrounded by the old colonial buildings of the old quarter, which are definitely worth seeing. Nearby attractions include the Pinang Peranakan Mansion (also known as the Nyonya Museum) and the Clan Jetties. If you're going to Penang, you absolutely must stay at this hotel!
HHongBaoWe have stayed in this hotel for 3 times in 4 years. The hotel hospitality and service make us feel like home-coming everytime. Special shoutout to Michelle from the front desk for her complimentary upgrade given for our birthday and anniversary celebration. Lastly thanks to Rubel from the housekeeping team for always checking on us if we need any turn down service. Never regret to choose this hotel as our preferred stay place whenever we come to Penang.
TThu thitsarLove it love it love it. I got a view to kill for. The service is great, check in was smooth, the staffs are friendly and professional. It’s a central area so main tourist attraction like Chulia street, Hin Bus Depot, Chew Jetty are walkable distance. I walk alone in midnight from chulia street and it’s pretty safe. Shopping malls are near by so can easily access. Breakfast was good. But I think the pool area can be improved to look lively. It’s pretty dull so I didn’t even go for swimming. Over all, this is definitely the place I will recommend and will stay again next time.
JJN768The PARKROYAL Penang Resort is highly rated, especially as a family-friendly, beachfront destination in Batu Ferringhi, praised for its excellent service and direct access to the beach. Guests consistently highlight the resort's great pool areas—including the Amazonia Splash water park—and the diverse, delicious breakfast offerings. While some older rooms might show minor wear or have noisy A/C units, the location is excellent, placing guests within walking distance of the famous Batu Feringghi Night Market.
GGuest UserThe location of this hotel is superb. Most of the attractions places are within walking distance. With lots of eateries around.
However, the hotel may needs to improve on their amenities such as the towels provided, the air con and housekeeping. I am very suprise that I was provided with towels that are badly torn and on most days it the towels seems used and old.
The hair dryer given also has some electrical problem and was arching which was a bit dangerous. But the hotel staff manage to change it after verifying that the hair dryer given is indeed spoil.
Overall, the only plus point are staffs who are very friendly and try to make sure we are comfortable and the location of the hotel.
11362171****Facilities: The internal facilities are great. It's close to the sea, and right behind the hotel, there's a coastal garden that's perfect for photos 📷. Inside, there are historical display corridors and some old Nanyang artifacts, which make for excellent photo opportunities.
Hygiene: The hygiene is impeccable.
Environment: The entire hotel is beautiful.
Service: The service is very mediocre. There's a noticeable difference in how they treat Chinese guests versus Caucasians. They even forgot to put bath towels in the room, and they didn't seem to have any apology for it. Breakfast was quite crowded with a good variety, but the taste was just okay. I even tipped, and they seemed to disdain it for being too little; I might as well not have bothered.
