Stayed in EGL 2 weeks ago .... I used to make fortnightly trips to Penang in the 80s - staying in most of the Batu Ferringhi hotels and lastly at the Equatorial Hotel. For the price that I am paying - US$100 a nite - there is no reason to complain about EGL. The check-in was pleasant and the staff... More

Heading back to Penang for the Chinese New Year. Decided to book my stay in this hotel as the usual place really up their prices during this super peak season. We're in Penang so there was no need for breakfast. I got a room by the lifts on the 11th floor, and it was really clean and neat. For a... More

I first stayed at the G Hotel when I came to Penang in April and was most impressed. Despite the temptation to stay at the G Hotel when I returned to Penang full time in July I decided to give the Evergreen a shot, primarily to compare it and write a review. So, that's what I did, stopping at the... More

We stayed there only because our heritage B&B had overbooked us and relocated us there for one night. Clearly they got it wrong in terms of why on earth would we want to sleep in a 200 rooms concrete hotel instead of the charming little heritage place. Anyways we slept well. That's at least that. For the rest, really, if... More

Good staff and relatively big room with full seaview. Hotel is a bit dated, but has compensated by friendly, cheerful staff. Sales team was helpful with my last minute booking, and most of the hotels were almost full. Fantastic location for holiday makers or business trips. Easy access to restaurants along Gurney Drive.

Evergreen Laurel Hotel, Gurney Drive, Penang is strategically located along the Straits of Melaka. It's majestic appearance gave me a good first impression of the hotel. However, appearances may be deceiving. For a five-star hotel, the reception service should have been better. It took my family and I approximately half an hour just to check-in the hotel. I wasn't sure... More

This was our fifth visit. Anyway, for those who are considerin staying at Evergreen, this is my review. The room; the... More

It was a good base for our 3D 2N do- nothing- Penang vacation. The location was perfect on the esplanade where we watched the sunset and enjoyed the breeze.It was 1.5km walk to the Gurney Plaza where you could get everything - shopping, food & the latest movies. The hawker stalls for Penang favourites are just next door to this... More

Very good location, the rooms are standard hotel rooms, do not expect a designer touch here. The bathroom was on a big side, no separate shower but everything was working perfectly. We liked that the Do Not Disturb sign is not a paper copy but a switch! Would reccomend. More
