Hotels With Pools in Penang, Malaysia

Our stay in the Coast Suite was great! It had two separate rooms, which was perfect for our group as we had different schedules and didn't disturb each other. We shared a bathroom. The hotel facilities were complete, and toiletries were promptly replenished. We noticed the toilet was leaking after checking in, and maintenance sent someone to fix it right away. The Indian housekeeping staff was polite and enthusiastic, and the front desk receptionists were attentive and responsible.

This hotel boasts an excellent location right in the heart of George Town. It's directly across from the bus terminal and offers easy walking access to the Seven Streets Market (Chew Jetty), Kimberley Street Night Market, and the Street Art area. The front desk staff are warm and welcoming, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the facilities are comprehensive. It's definitely our top choice for accommodation when visiting Penang and comes highly recommended.

View from the apartment was amazing and just need to look through the window and you see the blue sky and ocean. Just that the apartment they gave us has 3 rooms and if you book 2 rooms they will locked up the one of the room. The issue is that when we checked in they just let the 3rd room open and we thought we could used it until the security guard came and knock the door and said he has to lock up one of the rooms.

I wasn't expecting this level of comfort and amenities for this price. The room was very clean and had everything you need, even an EV charger. I managed to get help from security to help access it. There's convenience store next to reception too, if you need to grab something. The location is perfect too, it's a walking distance to many eateries and bar. I'm not sure if this constitutes a negative but I find the parking very narrow. You'll need to make a few spiral towards level 4 and every point of the way, I felt I will probably scratch the car along the way. Even the turning once you reach the actual carpark is very tight.

A Studio apartment vibes, nicely renovated unit. Location is very good and central. Grab is affordable—around RM7–RM20++ to most places for 6 pax, and usually under RM30++ to the airport. Walking distance to vegetarian food like 8 Morality Vegetarian Restaurant, desserts at Four Beans, and close to 1st Avenue Mall, so getting around is easy. Unit is on level 29 with a nice Penang view. Morning sun comes in, but curtains are provided. Facilities are simple—a small gym and a swimming pool on level 36 with a good view. Security is good, with access card required everywhere, including your own floor. Essentials are well provided: Steamer, hair dryer, fridge, and even a wok if you want to cook. Hot and cold water dispenser is available—this is a super plus point. Shampoo and body soap are provided; please bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. Tv, ceiling fan and aircon is available. 4 charging points available at bedside. Table with 3 chairs for cozy lunch or quick bites. Grabfood very convenient, just collect it at the lobby will do. Check-in is at 3pm and check-out at 11am, which is reasonable. Instructions by MC Home are clear and easy to follow, as they are super responsive. A few small downsides: occasional plumbing smell near the lobby (around Bila Bila Mart, not inside the unit) - management should solve this and also no washing machine cum dryer is available, and the unit is close to the lift so you may hear some noise at night (once or twice — which is fine for us). The apartment is very new (completed mid-2025), so there may be some ongoing renovation works during the day. Still highly recommended! Had a good family staycation!

Facilities: The hotel has a full range of facilities, though I didn't use the laundry service. Hygiene: Decent. Environment: Pleasant scenery, close to the sea. Service: The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. Room service was also of good quality.

Although the hotel doesn't look new or modern, the interior is mostly wooden and painting. The hotel room was very clean especially the toilet. The breakfast buffet is delicious with a variety of choices.

I did not book room with breakfast but decided to hv it the next morning. Upon paying I ask for receipt but was told no receipt will be issued. Wonders why? Restaurant staff hv language barriers. Either they dont speak or understand which is seriously annoying when you ask for something and they think you are talking in a foreign language when it’s just simple English. Checking in out is way too long, only one staff manning the reception.

We stayed in G Hotel Kelawai for 5 nights. The hotel is between two shopping malls - Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon. Excellent location. Another hotel nearby (about 400m) is G Hotel Gurney. Both the hotels' guests are given the option to use each other's facilities and guests are given the flexibility to have their breakfast at either hotel without any advanced notice. By the way, G Hotel Gurney is the older hotel and is directly connected to Gurney Plaza, whereas G Hotel Kelawai is less crowded and quieter, which we liked. The breakfast variety is acceptable for guests who are on a short stay. Out of curiosity, we wanted to try out the breakfast at G Hotel Gurney but were prevented from doing so because of the heavy rain. Upon request, hotel guests can commute between the two by the hotels' buggy. The 25-m swimming pool and gym in Kelawai were hardly used. Clean and well-maintained rooms.

Location : This location is very superb. The seaview was astonishing. Food stalls are everywhere nearby. Services : Arrived late night to check in. The receptionist is not that helpful and not explaining much. Got some issues with breakfast where my room suddenly not breakfast included while we paid together for it when booking. Try to explain to the Indian F&B manager but at first he refuse to trust me and ask me to go to lobby. Thanks to Mr Vincent he sincerely apologise for the misunderstanding from the system. To the Indian F&B manager, you need to learn to apologise sincerely from Mr Vincent and learn some manners as I heard you talk bad about other customers as well. Food : Not much choice but the food was good. Overall, will be coming back in the future and I wish the services will be a lot better. TQ
