Find hotels near Gurney Drive in Penang, Malaysia

Arrived here after a long bus trip from Singapore to find this hotel very welcoming. Staff display professionalism in all aspects from bell boys to reception to housekeeping. Happy faces greeted us at the front door and reception on arrival. We were upgraded to a deluxe room with wonderful sea views . Our room was spacious & very clean...signs of a good maintenance schedule. Room amenities were top class with free Wifi provided. Bathroom & shower facilities are excellent. It felt good to be in the room. Location along Gurney Drive is convenient as there is a great shopping mall nearby with lots of coffee bars,cafes and seafood specialist restaurants dotted all along Gurney Drive. There is a 'must visit' area of food stalls at the end of Gurney Drive which has a wide array of offerings to please and at very affordable prices to boot. Left some valuable jewellry behind in room at checkout. It was so pleasing to find out that housekeeping staff had handed the items in for safe-keeping until we can return to collect. Returned we did after a visit to Langkawi and stayed another 2 nights. Most impressed by what we found at this lovely hotel. Definitely coming back here when we next in Penang. Keep up the great work.

the g hotel is an asset to penang. it has a nice and modern trendy decor with selection of designer pieces in the lobby. it has nice local touches like bicycles for hire and souvenirs including the penang sketchbook. and it is in a very nice location that allows easy access to the city (if you are driving) i stayed there only for a day when i needed to extend my stay in penang because of work. moving from another hotel in gurney drive the g hotel was a step up. the location next to the gurney plaza shopping mall (a nice modern and comprehensive shopping complex) with lots of choices for restaurants) was ideal for the family to do some shopping before we left penang. the waterfront is ideal for morning jogs and the hawker centre a hundred meters or so away is convenient for those looking to sample some penang hawker fare at night. the swimming pool was also very trendy with nice areas for children and wooden decks for those in pursuit of a sun tan. unfortunately the pool itself was not so clean. my daughter and i went for a swim and found pieces of plastic floating in the pool and the water somewhat murky. other than this i would still strongly recommend staying at the g hotel for those who can afford the slightly premium rates.

Pros: Excellent location in Gurney in between 2 malls, Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon Excellent customer oriented staff who greet you whenever you walk past the reception Nice spacious rooms, staff were accommodating to our requests Good air-conditioning unlike some hotels where the air con is too cold or warm Comfortable bedding and quality toiletries Good breakfast buffet Cons: Minor stuff such as limited range of toiletries, slightly faulty handle of the bathroom door Overall, an excellent experience, will return to stay if I need a hotel in Gurney Drive.

It a new hotel, everything new and can see management put effort for the decoration. Love their open-air car park concept but not hot, nicely decorate lobby. Comfy room with working space in room. Fine dining restaurant just beside hotel and suitable for those lazy to go out for traffic issue. Nearby gurney drive, with both shopping mall-gurney plaza and gurney paragon. Great stay choice for vacation, outstation and gathering. Definitely will come back again, highly recommended.

A VERY Attractive hotel location. big room and jacuzzi provide at the room.in the morning or night u can see thru the seaview very nicely.Beside. There jia a Big food court with more than 20 stall which u just crossover the road and walk about 3 minutes to reach the food.court,business time until 12.Provide a big double bed which mention that by hotel,but them just combine the two single bed into one double,wish this can get improvement if next time visit.Walk around 15-20min u can reach by the gurney drive food stall,food around ! Siam and thai temple was just 500m for the hotel,we walk thru there maybe just need 20minutes. Will choose again the hotel if visiting Penang again.?Taxi charge u rm12 if u took to gurney drive food stall.Penang road quite far away from this note, u need take taxi to reach Penang road which famous with cendol .

That's 4 rooms in 1 unit for sharing a huge spacious living room and dinning room. U will get surprised to the huge spaces and the view of balcony which facing seaside of gurney drive is gorgeous. Very satisfied the room cleanliness meanwhile the bed and pillow are very comfortable for u goes to deep sleep. Unfortunately, during heavy rain the ceiling has some *click click* sound which quite annoying. a huge spacious living room and dinning room.

The room was clean. New hotel. I stayed for 4 days 3 nights on the 4th floor, the room view was a carpark but its ok. Quiet room. There is room amenities from 5 star service, WIFI is strong. The best part is its near to Gurney Drive Walking distance around 10 minutes - 15 minutes. I recommend you to use Linkbike app ( a bicycle services) that allows you to get around the town, there are two stations (linkbike) infront of the hotel sides. All you need to do is download the app and scan the bike docking station to retrieve your bicycle. You can cycle to the city center, it takes around 2- 3 Km (20-30minutes) Travelling by bicycle is the best choice to find local tourism sites and food location. The only set back is the you need a phone GPS to guide you around.If you lost your way, just get a GRAB taxi to bring you back to the hotel.. Another place to recommend to get around is using a rental motorcycle LA Vespa Bike rental 440-B, Chulia St, Georgetown, 10200 George Town, Penang

1.) This is not a hotel, is a personal properties that lent out like airbnb, so dont expect 24hr services like u get in hotel Good : Located in a very strategy place, near to gurney drive and george town. It might seen very far from penang hill on the map, but it is actually just 15 mins drive!! Room is super clean, it come with two room and one toilet. One room is attached with the toilet so it can consider is a shared toilet. Each room equip with fully functional air conditioner. Living room also got one air conditioner, super cold even in 3pm! The person in charge Uncle pang is a very nice person, surround the building got many parking but Uncle pang can reserve one parking for you too! Others : Microwave, fridge, Television with DVD player(No remote control for DVD player, so use ur phone instead. ) Bad : Since the toilet is a shared toilet, the toilet door should be can lock on both side, to protect privacy. The room attach to it cannot lock the door inside the room. The curtain of each room windows is drop down style, so it cant fully hide from outside, u can see through the room via the side of windows. Hence, privacy is not protected well enough. U can stick it to the wall by using tape though Anyways, I will still recommend to my friends but will recommend more if the windows curtain issue fix first!

The hotel is a very good place, clean and comfy. Only 1 km to the Gurney Drive Hawker food stalls, very near to one of my all time favourite nasi kandar place in jalan burma. Grab also very accessible in this place. The highest fares that i paid for was only rm 19. But be reminded that you have to pay deposit of rm 100 but u will get your deposit back during your check out. Overall a very good experience. Worth the money.

Decent clean and comfortable homestay with strategic location, very near to gurney drive where gurney paragon, gurney plaza and gurney drive hawker centre are just nearby. The homestay is equipped with water dispenser and snacks available at pantry. We took a double room with bathroom attached and with water heater. Visited the common toilet, they are clean and well maintained. There are 6 rooms on ground level and 4 rooms on first floor, it is found out that we could get through to the house next door which is another homestay with the same floor plan layout. Free wifi is available. There are a few carpark spaces available in front of the entrance. The host, Ms Teo is friendly and helpful. An overall happy stay, will recommend to friends if any of them plan for a trip to Penang.

The unit has a nice view of the sea from both storeys. The location is good in that there are a few kopitiums (local cafes with nice bak kut teh - Pork Ribs in broth) right next to the building and it is a 10 minute walk to two large malls, namely Paragon and Gurney Plaza. Another 5 minutes will get you to the famed Gurney Drive hawker center. The unit is clean with a great hot/cold filtered water unit, but it is missing a few essential items, like bench top/table top spaces for the main bathroom and the bedrooms. Both main bathroom and ensuite are also missing some hooks for hanging clothes/bath towels. The sound proofing is also lacking as noise from outside including the lift corridor and the nearby mosque with loud speakers easily gets inside the unit.
