Room was clean and neat. Abit of stench that comes from the carpet, but was not too bad. Was glad that the hotel water usage was not affected during this period. It was near to alot of the eateries and shopping areas. Staff at the breakfast lounge was great. Very friendly staff and interactive but I did not manage to get his name. Thumbs up!

Had a wonderful experience yet again at Ascott. We'll appointed rooms, lovely infinity pool and great accessibility make this a good choice. Above and beyond everything else, the service from Mr Yau was immaculate. Felt like a home away from home. Thank you Mr Yau!

Great location, easily walkable to various tourist spots/local destinations for food, leisure, shops etc. There’s also a ban heang conveniently located across the hotel (5 minutes walk). Those who are into clubs, there’s also one just downstairs the hotel - midnight black.

A very comfortable and nice hotel, spacious room and comfortable bed.
Location is at the central of Georgetown but not at the busy street. There is a foodcourt just across the road.
Breakfast is complimentary and good enough.
Services is excellent! We arrived early and were allowed to check in early, also given extended hour to check out.
Only problem is the sound proofing is poor, I can hear people slamming doors early in the morning.
Even though it was a non smoking room, smell of smoke was heavy when we check in.

We had such an awesome time at Citadines Cecil! Although there is no breakfast, a food market is literally 1 min walk away, diagonally opposite the hotel. Its location is close to the main shopping areas, and most attractions are around 10-25MYR by Grab.
The rooms are clean and new. Toilet is great. Nice and cosy 🥰
Boyfriend loved how they have 24h coffee available all day!

Overall, I had a wonderful stay at Gurney Bay Hotel. The bed was super comfortable, and the room was spacious and cosy—plenty of room to relax. They provided lots of amenities too, so all I really needed to bring were my clothes!
However, I found that most of the food lacked strong flavours. I’m guessing the hotel might be going for a healthy concept, or perhaps trying to suit international palates. But as a Malaysian who loves bold spices and a good kick of salt, the food didn’t quite hit the mark. For example, the nasi lemak tasted more like plain rice—missing that creamy, rich coconut flavour.
Also, I have to mention—they might need to work on their rice game. It just wasn’t soft enough, which made the dining experience a bit less enjoyable.

The good:
No deposit upon checking in, check in and out was a breeze, parking provided, the room carpet is clean and centralised aircond cools the room very quickly, the bed and bedding is comfy, cleanliness is tiptop, there's a pool and gym that's nice, and the TV channels were decent
The bad:
Did not validate my car plate and upon driving out, i was charged rm60+ for overnight parking. this was sorted out very quickly but was a hassle, the entrance to room from the parking lot is weird and not disabled friendly.
Overall, i had a good rest at st giles wembley at a decent price. Joined the membership and got a nice cup of coffee at the lobby. I got a room near the lift, so there were noises outside thus the soundproofing is not very good. But felt safe and the clean room feels good. A solid 4 out of 5, could have been better if it came with breakfast minus the hiccup at parking fees.

2nd time staying at this hotel. The queen bed room is smaller than double bed room. It’s a little difficult to fill the glass bottles (provided by hotel) with water at the water dispenser, so suggest guests to prepare their own wide-neck bottles to refill drinking water. Location is fantastic! Families with babies/toddler can request for a baby bath tub.

GGuest UserFive-star facilities, five-star front desk service, but one-star doorman service. I leave this review for all non-white potential guests: There's evident racial discrimination in the concierge service here. The doormen exclusively assist white guests by greeting them, opening car doors, and handling luggage. My family felt uncomfortable about it, so I can no longer ignore their experience. While the hotel itself is beautiful and all the rest staffs are friendly and professional, I strongly recommend standardizing your SOP or replacing the door team.
British colonialism ended decades ago.
BboogeyjaneThe only good thing I have to say about this hotel is how helpful the concierge Mr Ganesan was. He recommended amazing places for us to visit, always stopped to chat with us and was very friendly. Everything else in this hotel was awful. Hotel was clean and new but pool was filthy.. full of leaves and twigs. Both my partner and I had eye infections from swimming. Front desk staff were all rotten with zero customer service skills. One lady told me my room extension request was confirmed on the day I checked in but the following shift insisted that they had no extension request and simply refused to do anything to help saying they were on full capacity until I escalated it to the higher management and then miraculously the room became available. Asked in room dining for cutlery 5 times before they sent it. Upon checkout, they tried to charge me for breakfast for 2 days which I did not even eat or ask for in the first place. Hotel is clean and new but front desk staff are the worst I’ve ever come across in all my years of traveling.
EElinbb cheoyWorth the price, room well maintained, nice hard and soft pillows. Allowed early check in before 3pm this is the best part after leaving luggage in the room, it's shopping time. Right and left shopping malls. Breakfast and facilities can cross-use with its sister hotel. Took the 2mins buggy ride FOC from Kelawai to Gurney for Breakfast which starts from 630am to 1030am.
SSoloTravelAnnaI recently enjoyed a three-night stay at the Sleep Box Hotel, and I had a lovely experience! The room was cozy, and the bed was super comfortable. It came with an air conditioning unit, a TV, a chair, a small table, and hangers for my clothes. Plus, I appreciated having two towels and two bathroom bags for my personal items.
The bathrooms are located at the end of the corridor—there’s a blue one for men and a pink one for women. Just a heads up: you’ll need to pass through the blue area to get to the pink one. The showers even have a changing area, and they provide shampoo and body wash, which is a nice touch!
I also found washing machines in the bathroom areas, which was really convenient. And if you need to grab a snack or a drink, there’s a microwave, a water dispenser, and a fridge for guests to use. Overall, it was a great stay!
GGuest UserThe buffet breakfast on the first day was great! The pandan chicken was our favourite. They have egg stations where you can order how you like your eggs, toasts, fruits, cereals n milk, coffee machine, dim sum baos, nasi lemak, noodles. Quite decent for the price of the room Inc bf. Had a nice chat w the guy manning the counter as we were there at like 7am n there were not other guests yet. Sit near the window if you are early and get a nice scenic view while enjoying bf.
Location wise no comments as we go everywhere via grab.
Room was clean, only wished they had bigger rooms for like 2 queen beds for families with young children. We had a king bed but cannot fit all of us. Shower lotion n shampoo not great so I used the ones I brought along for my children. It smelled like Mama lemon dish washing detergent. Aircon was cold n nice.
WWandy goStayed at this hotel and had a pleasant experience! The hotel is super clean and located right in a strategic area—surrounded by heritage spots and amazing local food. The room and space are quite small, but it’s well-maintained, clean, and the facilities are good. For the price, it’s definitely worth it!
RR...AThe hotel is very old located in the center of George Twon closer to seaside. I have booked family room. Space and lay out is ok but 2 issues, 1 the inner parents room has a large empty space by the window (seaview the say but hardly seeing tho) we were puzzled why no pair of sofa chairs with a tea table, what is this space for? Super odd...
2 the connecting door for two rooms doesn't close well, not saying the lock doesn't work, no no, the door can't even able to be fully shut.
Services is almost zero. Don't count on it. All in all besides the location and fact has family room options, I don't have anything else to write home about this hotel. Oh and the sound proof is zero too, not saying between our 2 rooms. I basically had bad sleep whole 4 nights stay cos outside in the hall almost never stopped having doors open/shutting and people loudly talking/walking by noises...
Won't book again.
Aana sarda1. Easy and fast check in

5. The swimming pool also good. Not too wide..but it was fun.
6. Parking at basement of hotel, before out, go to reception for stamping.
7. Overall was good.
DDANNY HEE CHEE SEONGMore then 5 times when I come to Penang short trip holiday I am staying this hotel due to location very convenient and easy to look for amenities, but hotel need to improvement internet line not so good some room wall very dirty. Hope can considering renovation
GGrace Ling SEThe hotel is like 5-7 mins drive to Komtar, the town center. Easy to find food around, walking distance around 3-5 mins from the hotel. I stayed in room 205. The room was spacious but without a window because it's in the center. The bathroom space was just nice, bathroom ”wall” was a piece of large glass covered with blinds. Toilet exhaust fan doesn't seem to work. The room aircond took some time to get cold but it's not very cold although already put to 16°c, full fan speed or turbo mode. Maybe it needs some servicing. For those who are driving, they have a small basement parking with 6 parking lots and the front of the hotel can park up to 3 cars.
