i love this hotel”

I stayed at Berjaya Georgetown hotel and here are my feedbacks: (1) Hotel is opposite the Adventist Hospital so it is very convenient for foreigners, especially Indonesia from Sumatra, seeking treatments at the hospital or relatives visiting the patient there. This is the only reason I see why this hotel can still 'survive' until now. (2) Check-in was smooth and fast. The front-desk was friendly. The lift was working just fine. (3) Although I booked a single room for 1 person, I was very surprise by how small the room was. (4) The room's carpet was not very clean and smell strange. (5) The air-condition keeps making this awful noise that it won't stop, and I was not able to control the temperature in the room as the controller was not working. (6) I was given a high floor as requested, with partial view of the beach front. But on the other side, it was blocked by this condominium next door whereby you can see every actions that is going on on the other side if you don't draw up the curtains, and vice verse. Really lack of privacy. (6) Another horrible noise was the constant slamming of doors in the morning or night when the gusts goes out or comes back. Not recommended for any businessman that needs a good night sleep. (7) The breakfast was the SAME every day. The coffee or tea was only available (from the kitchen) upon request. Overall my stay was rather depressing. Everything is OLD and not lively at all. One would expect Berjaya Group which has the famous Times Square at KL to have some kind of basic standards and reputation to maintain."

3rd time berjaya”

if we came back to penang we would definately stay at the berjaya, very good value for the price of the rooms, compared to other hotels in penang, within the town. we have stayed at another hotel in georgetown which was not a patch on the berjaya, in reespect of the friendly staff

Bad Exterior Image but Good Service”

We recently went to Penang for medical purpose. We thought Berjaya is near to Island Hospital. But we were wrong. Berjaya is the most suitable place if you are visiting Adventis Hospital. However, we had a pleasant stay. The staffs are friendly, the room is clean and even our booking is without breakfast, the hotel only charge us additional RM12 per person for buffet breakfast. The breakfast at RM12 really surprised us as it has many selections and the price is just too good to be true. At the beginning, we were disappointed as the exterior does not reflect a 4 star hotel but we ended up feeling satisfied.

Old facade but amazing room”

berjaya penang hotel, not very impressive when i just arrived. building facade looks old. receptionists and doorman was friendly and helpful as this was my first time to penang. but after i checked into the room, im very impressed with the room size! its huge! bathroom was alright only but well who sleep there? just next door, there is a small shopping mall, 24 hours minimart, hair saloon, thai massage, chinese food eatery shop, all amazing! it's really recommended. there are free shuttle bus service to island and gleaegleas hospital and as well to gurney shopping centre. everything was easy accessible at this hotel, truly recommended!!

A Value for Money Hotel”

I chose Berjaya Penang Hotel during my family's recent spur of the moment visit to Penang because of its room with internet package deal. The kids loved the wireless internet service which was easy to connect to and worked smoothly. I love its central location, near enough to Gurney Drive and Georgetown center without being too congested to move in and out of the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and we even had a good view of the sea. The food was better than the usual hotel breakfast fare. All in all I must say this hotel is value for money and I am glad we chose it. The only complaint I have is its carpark which I think is too old and need urgent upgrading plus better security.

Lovely rooms at a very decent price”

my daughter came down with a high fever on our way to penang. thankfully, the georgetown city hotel was right opposite the penang adventist hospital, and we were able to easily visit the pediatrician twice over the next 3 days. the large rooms (we had a junior suite) were really comfortable and at a reasonable price. the location of the hotel is fairly central to most places we planned to visit. drivers in penang are horrible, just so you know :)

Pleasant hotel with good service”

I enjoyed my stay at Georgetown City Hotel, Penang. At first, we were given a smoking floor despite our request for non-smoking floor online. However, the hotel receptionists were very efficient and they helped us to change to non-smoking floor the next day. Although the hotel location was not very close to any shopping centre, the hotel provide excellent taxi service. Breakfast at the hotel was good too with reasonable price. The room was very clean and neat. Overall, it was worth staying at Georgetown City Hotel. I must thank the hotel staffs for making our stay a memorable one.

Convenient hotel”

Berjaya Penang Hotel is a hotel to stay. The hotel is well-equipped with comfortable bed, TV, and nice bathroom. Furthermore it's accessible and nearby to small shops and restaurants. So far it's one enjoyable stay and we were very delighted and satisfied. This hotel is highly recommended for family trip.

Nice Hotel with affordable price and 5star service”

Nice rooms and I didn't find any significant wrong on this hotel as I was worried about after I read the review on Agoda.com. The only problem was the AC, as the temperature control did not work, so the AC was so cold all the time unless you turn of the AC. The bellboys were friendly and everytime I asked something, they will explain to me very detail and with smile. And this hotel just a cross away from Adventist hotel and they have access directly from the ground to your room to avoid the highly stairs in the hotel main entrance. Highly Recommended Hotel in Penang with affordable price.

Another pleasant stay at Berjaya”

This was the second time this year that I stayed at Berjaya. I was so impressed with the resort in January that I opted to stay there again. The only problem I had was that one morning, I did not receive my requested wake up call as the operator had wrote the wrong room number down to call. Due to this, I missed the breakfast buffet, but the manager was kind enough to upgrade my room to a suite immediately thereafter. I grabbed a meal next door at the Satay Hut which was very satisfying. If I happen to visit Penang again, I intend to stay at Berjaya once more.

Penang Trip”

I visited Penang with my family. During my visit, I had a nice and comfortable stay at this hotel. This hotel is really close to traditional and authentic eating places that provides great traditional and yummy foods such as nasi kandar, rojak, nasi lemak, nasi briyani, etc. besides that, this hotel has a very easy access to public transportation and to a nice shopping place; Plaza Gurney. It is also very close to Gurney Drive and Adventist Hospital. I highly recommend this hotel for a great, comfortable and fun stay in Penang. This hotel is also affordable especially if you do the reservation via Agoda because you can use your Agoda points and get a great deal :)

Good roomn and friendly staff”

I had a stay recently at the berjaya penang hotel. Its is 10 mins walk to gurney plaza and just beside it is the gruney good centre. There are convience store, KFC and a bus stop just when you walk out of the lobby. The staff are very friendly and helpful. always with a smile! recommened to stay!

Great location & superior hospitality”

Before I booked this hotel, I read the review in Agoda. As much I'm tempted to book another hotel, I found this hotel is within my budget. I haven't been to Penang for more than 10 years and I don't know what to expect. Surprisingly, this hotel is a rare find, despite its shabby exterior, the rooms provided were more than sufficient for our families! Even though booking through Agoda doesn't include breakfast nevertheless the hotel is conveniently located to 24-hour convenience store and a shopping complex which is not as big as in my hometown, but I did find things that I wanted. Despite not having any food taken at the hotel, it was easy to find food stalls/restaurants to our liking which is quite near to the hotel. We booked junior suites and I was pleasantly surprised with its rate which is quite affordable for me.

Berjaya Penang Hotel”

It was a great stay with Berjaya Hotel. The location was just about right not too far away from the town. The first impression from the parking lot of the hotel was pretty backward in the sense that it was still a rather dark and small parking lots. The walk way up to the hotel is really untidy and a repainting would best suit the hotel. That way, it will improve it's first impression of the hotel. Moving up to the lobby, the hotel gained back it's poorer impression and when you see the room, it was a great relief and I would it was over my expectations. Overall, I would say I'm happy with my visit and if ever I go back to Penang, Berjaya Hotel will be my choice.

Wonderful Town”

The Berjaya Georgetown sits midway between the beaches in the north and the town centre in the south of Georgetown. It is well serviced by both buses and taxis. We even had a ride in a rickshaw! The hotel staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable. Although we were on a smoking floor, the room did not have a noticeable odor and the views from our room were quite nice.

Clean and confortable hotel”

The hotel price is reasonable, clean and tidy. Just a bit confusing as the name of the Hotel had change to Georgetown Hotel and previously was called Berjaya city hotel. Yhe only proble me and my famaly facing is the the deal we had is without breakfast and there were no food store nearby the area. Basically my children loves the Hotel and of cause that make my holiday a pleasant one.

Georgetown City Hotel Penang”

The Georgetown City Hotel is well located for easy access to many places. Hotel GPS location is: N5, 25min, 59.1968; E100, 18min, 24.3182 The hotel setup is great, the Wireless access is good not like other I been to. The room is big (I took a Suite) and have high floor excellent view to the Penang Bridge. Room is very well arranged and setup is just excellent. The hotel provides free parking. Next to the hotel having a shopping mall where you can buy you daily essential items and food stores. There is a bar/pub/disco that beside the hotel and it is a great place to hangout after a long day work or out. About 10mins walking distance to a night hawker food store, where I have enjoy my steamboat dinner. The store GPS location is : N5, 25min, 47.1496; E100, 18min, 44.2584 I have enjoy my stay in Georgetown City Hotel, I hope you will too.

Good location but reception not enough manpower. ”

generally, our stay at berjaya penang hotel are comfort and nice. good location within 10 to 15 minutes to penang town and 5 to 10 minutes to gurney grive. rooms are quite big, comfort and clean eventhough extra bed is added. nice view of penang's bridge through our room's window and also night view that really catch my eyes with it.

Nice rooms, Great View”

Even though I lost my reservation documents check-in was very straight forward. Nice room on corner of 14th floor with great views out over Penang and Georgetown. Gym and Pool were small but both very functional. Good value and fast room service. Good public transport (buses) to Batu Ferringhi, and Georgetown center. Would stay again.

Great location next to the hospital”

for those traveling to penang for medical purposes (esp. at penang adventist hospital), i highly recommend berjaya penang hotel. it takes only a ten-minute walk to get to adventist hospital. very convenient location.
