I am a frequent traveler and I have stayed at many hotels and resorts ranging from 3 star properties to 5 star luxury resorts. I must sincerely say here that The Gurney was my WORST experience ever! These were just a few of the problems at this hotel: 1. Poorly maintained carpets in rooms 2. Air cons that were not... more

We arrived hotel almost past midnight & everyone was extremely exhausted as I drove many hours all the way from Langkawi. Despite this lethargy, we approached the female Malay counter staff for check-in as we've prior booked our rooms online. the lobby was empty at this hour & we walked directly facing her yet she could not be bothered of... more

Well, I have been to this hotel both for business and leisure trip. Everytime I check in, well I just a wonderful feeling. Location is near Gurney Drive...plenty of local foods available and all pubs, seafood restaurant are easily reached in walking distance. The sandy pool just excite my kids and that recreation floor just provides quite a number of... more

In light of our experience we would not recommend the Gurney Resort Hotel to anyone expecting good service and a clean, well maintained hotel. This hotel promises a great deal but does not deliver. As you enter the sweeping, grand space that forms the lobby of the Gurney Resort & Hotel it is not immediately apparent that this is one... more

We booked the 2 bedroom suite via their website at a very good deal.. about RM600+ for 2 nights. The suite is very basic, no frills but clean. Sad to say, the rooms are in need for a revamp as the curtains are torn and some of the furniture are quite old and weary. However, they have one of the... more

Plus: We stayed in a 2-BR suite with jacuzzi in the main bedroom bathroom. We had a nice corner suite with great views of the sea - good size bedrooms with good beds, lounge, dining area, kitchen, 2 nice bathrooms. Although not a new hotel we found it adequately maintained. We liked the location as we could walk to nice... more

Blue sticky tape in toilet... more

Great hotel for the money - excellent location, friendly staff. The hotel isn't the newest or trendiest, but they make up for it in size of the rooms, and overall value. more

We stayed in the Gurney Resort Hotel for our very recent trip to Penang last weekend, from March 7-9 and it was our second stay there. As it was a long holiday weekend, the streets of Penang were quite crowded and the hotel was also quite full. The Gurney's location on the Drive with the same name made it an... more

Stay in a 5 star hotel for the first time, it's been a great holiday for me... Everything works very well from the very first day I step into the hotel although is a Thaipusam festival that time which makes the whole Penang road jammed all day long. Inside the room is quite a large space where I get a... more
