Layover-one night stay”
Stayed here for one night before my next flight the next morning. Saw this hotel a few time everytime I come to Penang. So, decided to try it. Beautiful hotel, spacious lobby, lots of lift, easy check in and checkout. I loveeee the room! I had such a pleasant stay here. The room was big enough for atleast 2 person, the bathroom was as well spacious. The bed, pillow, comforter was so comfy and fluffy. Managed to try the breakfast. They had different types of food. Not the typical hotel breakfast. The food was of course super yummy! I surely recommend this hotel for anyone who wants a relaxing staycation. Location was superb. Walking distance to a lot of places. There’s a rooftop bar although the food choices were very limited. There’s also a rooftop bar opposite the hotel so it’s okay. I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. Hoping next time I get to stay for a longer period.

Love everything about this hotel!”
The hotel is very new, clean and they have awesome staff. Room cleaning is on alternate days though. There’s a mall opposite with a supermarket and some shops for shopping and food. The hotel is very convienent and located within walking distance to popular destinations. There’s a coffee shop beside the hotel. The pool at level 11 is awesome! And there’s a massage centre very good and affordable. Will definitely come again!

Virgin trip to penang and looking forward for the next one”
Like the title has said, browsed thru many different hotel options and decided to choose The Wembley and am impressed with their hotel cleanliness, staff service/ attitude. Key takeaways: 1. High tea menu was pretty decent and the sweet and salty desserts are pretty well made 2. Being able to deposit our luggage with them for the time being as we are only departing at night 3. Prime location in georgetown (walkable distances to many food spots) 4. Amenities were great

Love this hotel”
The receptionist was so nice to give me the room at 25th floor facing the sea. Every morning i wake up looking at the sunrise and calming view. Bed and pillows are so comfortable, bfast options are good, i love their salad and coffee sections, and not to forget the chef made the best omellete ever. Hotel is also near to the mall, so just a walking distance. I had some work during this visit, so i spent most of my time in the room, go out for a while to settle some stuffs nearby, come back to hotel to continue my work online, and after work i just walk to the mall across the road to get some jco donut and coffee. I will definitely come back if i get the best deal from this hotel. Tq st giles penang!

Convenient location and good value”
Stayed one night and check in was smooth despite front desk said that my booking wasn’t in their system. Their staff smoothly handled it and we were checked in quickly. Room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Lighting was dim and sheets were stained but was comfortable enough. There’s also free parking so those who are driving to Penang will find that convenient. Overall, a convenient and comfortable hotel for a short stay in Penang.

Convenient location”
The room definitely seem a bit worn out compared to my first stay five years ago (when it recently opened) but most importantly, it is clean and comfortable. They provide prayer mat in the room too for Muslims. A good variety at breakfast - even sushi! The Wembley is more affordable than the hotel across it. Convenience: If you prefer walking to the heart of the city for chendol, you can cut through Komtar. But as a female solo traveller, it can get too quiet in the morning in the old mall. You can Grab from hotel to the touristy areas for RM5-8. There is a mall across the road for Starbucks, JCo, movies, H&M, pharmacies, etc. A lot of shops are not opened probably hit by covid. A local major supermarket is opening soon too. There is a massage parlour in the same row as the hotel, near the traffic light.

Best location, worth the money”
Husband and I stayed for 3 days, 2 nights at the hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was all worth it! The hotel is located at the heart of the city making it accessible to famous tourist destinations in Penang. The Top is just 3 mins walk from the hotel. Other attractions like George Town Street Art and Blue Mansion is like 5 mins grab car. Check in and check out was very smooth. Breakfast has enough variety of food, the hotel staffs see to it that health protocols are followed like distancing and wearing gloves upon getting food in the buffet section. We were also lucky to be given hotel vouchers that got us discounts on food in the hotel’s cafe where we had our lunch on our last day. The room is clean but not quiet big as I expected. I wished for 4 pillows instead of just 2. The downside I think is not making up the room daily. They have a new guideline to curb covid that the cleaning will be done every other day only. So we ran out of bathroom tissues, refilling the tea bags would have been nice as well. Shower also takes time to get hot so need to bear the cold water. Nevertheless, we were satisfied by the hotel’s service, nice staff, and its accessibility.

Amazing service!”
This is the 3rd time we booked this hotel. Fast check in although long queue. We booked Executive Deluxe room it’s worthy. Room was spacious and bathtub was clean. Mineral water and soft drinks and fruits were provided at the room. Complimentary hi-tea at 530pm to 730pm you shouldn’t miss out. There were variety choice of the breakfast. Cons - the Wi-Fi network was too weak.

4D3N wonderful stay at The Wembley ”
It was our first time in Penang and glad that we chose to stay at The Wembley. It is located in the middle of the city and surrounded by shopping malls. About 10 minutes driving distance to touristy area like Penang Art Street, Gurney, Padang Kota Lama, Upside Down Museum, P.Ramlee Museum, etc. A lot of local eateries surrounding the hotel too, like the Penang Rd Famous Teochew Chendol. The whole check-in/out process was such a breeze. Plus point for their unlimited entry free parking. They informed us beforehand that housekeeping is only done on the 3rd day but we were fine with that as the staff responded fast with any other housekeeping calls. Overall, a very pleasant stay at The Wembley.

Comfortable stay”
Stayed 3nights in the hotel and we really enjoyed ourselves. Room is clean and well-kept, just that bed is a bit soft, had some sore back by the 3rd night. There are 6 lifts in the hotel, so waiting for lift was just less than 1min!(we stayed at 18th floor) Hotel breakfast is so-so; food choices considered plenty, however taste-wise is just OK. But I must commended that the Wembley Cafe staffs are really good,hard-working and consistent, services are professional and helpful! They ensure patrons adhere to SOP, reminding patrons that forgot to put up their masks to do so, check MySejahtera status before entering cafe. Hotel location is great too, as its at the center of town, food and malls are easily accessible within walking distance. There are mini marts near to hotel too. Overall we're glad we choose Wembley Hotel for this CNY trip, will surely recommend to others.

Great Location, Friendly Service.”
The hotel is strategically located near to Komtar, Prangin Mall, Penang road kopitiam and also Presgrave street food areas. The stafffs are helpful and friendly. I managed to have an early check-in because there are rooms available. It helps a lot unload my luggage. The room is clean, has a small fridge too to store my cold drinks after a warm outing in the city. I had a breakfast buffet on one morning. The selection is good, the service crew is helpful and I enjoyed my meal there. I enjoyed my stay there, 4 days 3 nights :)

Dated Rooms in Very Strategic Location with Great Service!!”
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely well-trained and welcome us with smiles, regardless of the request. The rooms are spacious enough. Value for money. Very very strategic location with free parking. Hotel will give season parking card for the period of stay. Most of the heritage roads and lanes with famous food and architecture are within walking distance. Rooms aren’t as new as we expected or bright like the pictures. Generous with 4-6 bottles of mineral water, without asking! The room facing the sea has amazing sunrise view!! Wake up early and be amazed. The service with a smile is better than E&O’s staff.

Wonderful stay at this hotel!”
We had a wondeful stay at The Wembley - A St Gules Hotel Penang. The Executive Deluxe King room was totally worth every penny and was comfortably spacious, sophisticated and clean. The breakfast had a good spread of food. The location is awesome as we could easily walk to the various tourist attractions or grab easily to places. Would definitely stay at this hotel in my next Penang trip! Thank you to the staff of the hotel too for their great hospitality and allowing us to early check-in and late checkout by a few hours!

Great and Worth the money”
We found our perfect hideout hotel in penang which is the Wembley! and we even extended our holiday for one more night. We got a deluxe bedroom with king bed. Pro The room is spacious and nice enough for two. We can see the KOMTAR building from our window which is a nice view + I can see the sea and bridge as well which is cool. Got bath tub and shower, and love love the bath shower gel, I love the classic smell of hotel bubble bath that I used to smell when I was young plus with additional green tea smell which is great. Love the chocolate brownies with ice cream, I ordered for the in-dining room service - two nights in a row. that's how good the brownies is. i wish the brownies are bigger tho. yum. oh and the best of all, the omellete i got during breakfast for the first night was awesome. The chef uncle, gave me a lot of cheese as I asked and make it wiggle wiggle . its so good, and it put my faith back in the presence of good omelete. Cons Because the hotel is beside the main road, so sometimes it can be a bit loud- as in you can hear car sounds. not too loud, but its apparent enough. Toilet shower is quite weak. Unless you use the shower in the bath tub, which will then lead to wet floor. My last day of breakfast was spoilt, coz the awesome chef uncle was not there, and the younger replacement really put a downer on my omelete faith. it was quite bad, the eggs not runny, its just not properly cooked, the outside is a bit burnt tho.. lulz. but i guess it depends on your luck, maybe he's learning. I guess having a great omelette really need luck for me. Anyway overall, it was a great stay, and worth my money. Thank you
