Gurney Bay Hotel, A PARKROYAL PARTNER HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed there for 3 weeks and we had a great time. Great foods, buffet or non-buffet at the hotel, friendly and helpful staffs, clean. Its located within walking distance to major shopping malls, Gurney Plaza, Gurney Paragon, hawker stalls. Plan to stay here again on our next trip."

Sunway Hotel Georgetown Penang

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but I find the racks in the bathroom is far too high especially for Chinese elderly who are less then 5.5ft tall. Very good cooling air-conditional even in the big lobby. I like the shower area. Big enough and has a structure to sit although the floor is very slippery. The staff are very friendly especially the security personnel that bowed and greeted each time we moved in and out of the hotel. Good location that access to the famous food street. Also nice local delicacies around the vacinity."

The Prestige Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"Prestige Hotel was one of the best hotels we stayed at during our trip. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. The manager even came outside to personally welcome us and thank us for choosing to stay there, which made us feel truly valued. The staff went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had a wonderful experience. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, and the gentlemen working during breakfast service provided outstanding customer service. They were friendly, professional, and made every morning enjoyable. I felt so comfortable throughout our stay and only wish we could have stayed longer. I would absolutely recommend Prestige Hotel to anyone looking for an exceptional place to stay. 10/10 !"
