Great food, great atmosphere, great staff, and very generous space in the rooms. The breakfast is a highlight, looking out over views of Penang Hill. The rooftop pool is also great … nice food, and the staff - Jordy and Silen in particular, were fantastic.

We organised an event called lunar streets of shanghai for 3 days and hired this bartender by the name of Jordy. We had quite a grand event and Jordy hit all our expectations of Danai Medi-Wellness. He's friendly and bright energy interacting with customers and members allowed for a good time for everyone. Drinks were top-notch and made fast. no one waited more than 1 minute for their drink and we hope for that kind of efficiency as well as quality.

Had a really wonderful 4 day 3 night stay with my wife. The concierge Jonathan went above n beyond the call of duty, assisting me to buy local SIM phone card, booking a rental car, and advising what Mobile Apps I need for Penang. There is a rooftop pool with great view of all of Penang n 2 basement car parks
