This hotel is owned by the Taiwanese Evergreen shipping line which also own EVA Air. This hotel is not new but everything seemed very well maintained. Location wise it is at Gurney drive, food is plentiful and Georgetown is just a short trip away. Overall, no complains. Good value for money too. Would not hesitate to stay here again. more

This was not the first time for me to go to Penang, but it was the first for me to stay in the Gurney area. Indeed, the Evergreen is almost smack in the middle of the action - the water and the promenade was just in front, and it's surrounded by tall, modern and chic condominiums. The lobby is a... more

I wasn't expecting much as I know the better hotels are along the Batu Ferringhi stretch of beach. But surprise surprise, this turned out to be a very good hotel. In essence, it has everything one would need for a good stay. The rooms were quiet and spacious. There was a minibar with complimentary tea and coffee and space for... more

The key thing I demand from a hotel is a quiet night's sleep, and the Evergreen delivered - solid walls mean few disturbances. Quietest rooms are likely to be those at end walls - that's numbers ending 1, 4, 11, 14, 15, 18, 25 and 28. Maybe they would be fine but those ending 7, 8, 21 and 22 were... more

We stayed at the Evergreen for 4 nights and were glad we chose there rather than Batu Ferringhi beach...the rooms were very spacious with a seaview and a view of the boardwalk..only about a 15 minute walk to the Gurney Plaza and the hawkers market where you can get all sorts of local food at really cheap prices. The beds... more

I've stayed at this hotel many times over the years since it opened and will continue staying here for all my trips to Penang. Needless to say, every time my experience has been positive. The rooms are always clean, neat and well kept. Despite not being one of the newest/modern hotels around, it is very well maintained and staff are... more

After more than 5 years since i stayed here, i came back for a pleasant surprise. The check in was fast and efficient. In a matter of 5 minutes, i was ushered to my room. I stayed for 2 nights at the deluxe seaview room which was clean, neat and looked brand new. Everything provided in the room befitted a... more

Stayed at the Evergreen in Penang for three weeks on business. Rooms were above average with a great view of the ocean. Location was walking distance to Starbucks, Subway, The Coffeee Bean. The chinese restaurant next door (Corner Club) was absolutely horrendous. Service was terrible and food was tasteless, and worst of all, flies! There's a bunch of open air... more
