Well, today I was assigned to Penang, Malaysia, for a short business trip. A nice island with nice people. My company booked me an Executive Suite for me. At first, I thought "Ah... just another room"... Well, this hotel is situated next to a big shopping mall (Gurney Plaza). The staffs are all very pleasant. There is a very nice... More

Hotel Lobby is sleek and modern. Check in was super fast and nil fuss. I think there are enough reviews n it's excellent location and its proximity to Gurney Hawker so I shall not dwell on that. One of the nicest gesture of the room is the free drinks in the mini bar and they generously tip it up every... More

I stayed a night in a standard room just last week. Location is great, next to the shopping mall and within a 5 min walk to Gurney where I can get to sample the local street food.. Check-in was fast, efficient and the "welcome" ice-cream served was an interesting talking point.. The room was spacious and very clean and came... More

The hotel is located next to the Gurney Plaza shopping mall so there are lots of food and shopping options nearby. The pool area is lovely after a long day with great loungers and what... More

The first impression is good. The lobby is spacious, modern, located in the midst of a good shopping area. Rooms are stylish too and very clean. Breakfast was perfect. I went to the gym which was also very nice. I don't see any bad point to add, congrats G Hotel!

This is one of my favorite hotels in Penang. However, they have been resting on their laurels a bit recently. This hotel is almost always sold out, so no need to make any changes is the opinion I am forming. The rooms are large and spacious, but honestly the styling is rather drab. When you compare to the gorgeous lobby,... More
