nice location next to gurney mall and 250 metres or so walking distance to the famous hawker stalls which opens every night and usually packed with a lot of locals and tourists. The hotel looks quite impressive at 1st due to the nice deco of the lobby area but room is a bit of a let down on deco. Bathroom... More

Perfect location for food lover and shopper, Gurney Drive just right in front and the shopping center just next to the hotel. Everything just around the corner, morden decor, room is big and comfortable. I booked the spa package from the hotel which is good.

Very centrally located walking distance to food courts, shopping malls and restaurants makes it very convenient for guests. Once considered hip and trendy, it looks a bit tired. However, the lounge and chill out music piping through the speakers in the lobby and common area was nice. Staff that attended to my check-in had an attitude. Lack of smile and... More

This hotel is a good 20 minute drive from the airport. The staff across the hotel; reception,restaurant,house keeping, and bar, are all very attentive and friendly. I especially like the large downstairs bar, and spaciousness of the hotel in general.

G Hotel is perfectly located. Just far enough away from the main bustle of the city, yet near enough that a cab ride won't set you back. Just next to Gurney Plaza and a stone's throw away to the famous Gurney hawker. (Try the Penang laksa at stall 11!) Room is very spacious. I think a family of 5 can... More

My partner and I stayed her for 4 nights. We wanted to stay somewhere out of the Georgetown cluster of hotels where everyone stays, but still within easy distance of all the attractions.
