Review summary

Powered by OpenAI

This well-located hotel is praised for prompt and friendly staff, who even surprised honeymooners. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with ample space. The good breakfast value with sufficient selection is appreciated, along with the rooftop infinity pool area's nice city view.

Stains found in room and bathroom need improvement, according to some guests.

    “Exceptional”

    It was around 12:00 before check-in, but I was able to use the room right away. I received a Welcome ice cream. The room and the staff are very friendly and sophisticated. There are two shopping malls right next door, which is convenient. I stayed in Penang for four nights, and the breakfast here was the best. They provide very high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend it to everyone.

    “Perfect hotel for a relaxing getaway”

    The hotel is located in between 2 huge shopping mall and nearby the Gurney drive hawker center. There is a free buggy ride to and back Gurney Plaza mall. We arrive early and to our surprise the hotel allow early checking around noon. We were given a connecting rooms that are spacious, bright, clean, great view and with perfect comfy bed. The hotel comes with a rooftop infinity pool that has perfect view over the hills over Penang and some sea view. Breakfast was exceptional good with plenty of choices with great taste. Hotel staff are top-notch at the front desk, maintenance and even the breakfast area.
