    “Excellent stay. ”

    Booked Premier Deluxe - bay view for 2N. Room 3607. Located at the top floor. Room was ready at 11am and we allowed early check in on a Tuesday morning. Wide window - great view. Room was clean and spacious. A reasonable sized wardrobe area with full length mirror. Bed was exceptionally comfortable - firm and the other person not disturbed when one turned in bed. Great sleep. Quiet room. 2 pillows each. Love the sitting area ( 2 chairs plus a small round table) next to the window - great for 2 to dine in with view. Have a kitchenette - plates, bowls, utensils, microwave and best of all, 3M filtered drinking water from tap. Superb love the convenience of the drinking water from tap. Bathroom was spacious - lots of counterspace for 2 to put our toiletries and shelving for our clothings. Water pressure and temperature working v well. Facilities were great - infinity pool, gym, yoga room - enjoyed the gym very much. Frontline staff from the door, reception, staff manning the gym/ pool were friendly and polite. Breakfast was average but doesn't bother us - they can perhaps expand the variety. Overall, excellent stay - definitely recommend to stay there. Really appreciate the hospitality of the staff at the hotel, excellent bed, great sleep, great bay view, awesome facilities.

    “Spacious and clean room with sea view!”

    We were upgraded to a sea view room and enjoyed our 2-nights stay so much! Appreciate this kind gesture especially on a Valentine’s Day. Check in and check out was smooth and quick. The room was very huge and spotlessly clean. We loved walking up to the beautiful sea view in the king sized bed. Shower pressure was great and the bathtub with 180-degree sea view was heaven! I have nothing to complain about the room. The only downside is probably waiting time for lifts can be a bit lengthy coz it has a lot of floors. The hotel is next to a mini mall which can be quite convenient to grab some quick bites. Opposite to hotel is a seaside walk which is newly opened and it has a large playground. The road in front of hotel can be quite congested at night since it’s situated along the same road as other malls and bar areas. I’d highly recommend to stay in this hotel if you enjoy having beautiful sea view and new facilities. We’d definitely be back again if we’re in Penang!

    “Excellent stay”

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at Ascott Gurney Penang! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality, and the check-in process was smooth and efficient. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. The room was spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, with breathtaking views of the sea. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities provided made my stay extra special. Breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of local and international options. Everything was fresh and well-prepared, giving me a perfect start to my day. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning for another stay.

    “Clean room, service could be better”

    The good: 1. Near to Gurney Plaza and Mall 2. Clean and tidy room 3. Comfortable mattress, comfortable sleep 4. Huge rooom! Need to improve: 1. Check-in process could be better. The guy at the counter seems to be new, the way he handled check-in is kinda slow. The counter beside me already handled 2 check-ins, but he is still processing mine. 2. Toilet plug is broken, tried to call the front desk but nobody pick up, in the end I had to fix it myself. 3. Pillow is a bit too tall for our liking. Not sure if there is an option to switch pillow, perhaps can ask the front counter if you don't like the pillow. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and will come back again if we were to visit Penang. By far it is our top hotel choice in Penang.

    “Best for family with kids”

    Super love the tranquil view of gurney walk and the sea from this hotel. Most memorable was the kids club and kids pool. It’s a haven for small children. The room was HUGE, clean, and comfortable. Just thought it would be walking distance from the malls (eg. gurney plaza) but with small kids and a stroller, it’s not that near so we needed to take a grab going to and from the hotel. All else was perfect. We enjoyed our stay!

We’re also glad you loved the spacious room and the tranquil sea and Gurney Walk views. We understand that while the malls are nearby, traveling with young children and a stroller can make the distance feel longer. We appreciate your feedback and hope to make your future stays even more convenient. Looking forward to welcoming you and your family back soon! Best regards, Serena | Assistant Residence Manager
