Was an impromptu trip for my boy who us on holiday. Traffic was good, tourist were minimum...the hotel was not busy during our stay. Which was great as we didn't have to struggle with check in etc. Pool was great, a bit deeper would be great. I wasn't fond of the pool with sand, but I guess it creates a beach effect...altho the beach was just like 15 meters away...from check in to housekeeping, all the staff were more than happy to assist. Thank you hard rock!!

Upon check-in, we were warmly welcomed with two delicious chocolate chip cookies, which was a lovely touch. The hotel offered stunning sea views, and there was a convenient walkway providing direct access to the beach. The breakfast buffet was impressive, featuring a wide selection of both local and international cuisines. The swimming pool was spacious, well-maintained, and perfect for children to enjoy. Overall, we had an exceptional stay and would highly recommend this hotel to families and beach lovers alike.

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.

Five-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.

A stylish and classy hotel, strategically located near Little India, art area, food museum, all are a few minutes away. The jetty is about a 15 minute walk. However as a solo female traveller, all the adjacent streets are dark and quiet so didn’t feel comfortable walking around after 21:00. Room was cosy and nicely designed, bed was comfortable, and the free mini bar and sweets left in the jar daily was a lovely touch. Breakfast was ok, but the in-room food service was excellent and meals were fantastic. The room also has a water filter, saves buying bottled water. All staff were pleasant and helpful. The views from the rooftop pool are great, albeit the pool is on the smaller size. Enjoyed my three nights and would recommend the hotel.

Tucked away in an idyllic spot along Penang’s coastline, Lone Pine is Batu Ferringhi’s only luxury boutique hotel. Renewed and rejuvenated after a lovingly undertaken restoration, Penang’s favorite beachside boutique resort re-opened its doors refreshed in design and facilities, but still infused with the same colonial spirit and idyllic charm that has made it one of Penang’s legendary hotels. Returning guests have fond memories of yesteryear and the hotel continues to maintain its charm with celebrants who have attended elegant soirees, wedding dinners, annual dinners and parties here. Our Penang resort continues to charm everyone who walks through its doors with its gracious past carefully nurtured to soothe the soul of any modern-day traveler.

SSights and Eats2nd 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.
KKrystal TanWe 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!
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.
SSJongNice location smack in the centre of George Town. Decent buffet lunch that's reasonably priced. The breakfast spread is good too. Room is comfortable and I'll definitely stay at JEN for future visit to Penang.
HHenry.AngRoom 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!
NNoorI love everything about this hotel, We stayed during hari raya week, overall it was a very great vacation with my kids, they really enjoyed the slide and mini waterpark, personally for me i enjoyed the panoramic view around the hotel , every place is instagrammable, the pool was so big and clean, divided to kids pool and adult pool, alot of small hut and beach chair around the hotel , ample of car parking , i will come back again soon.
Suggestion for improvements:
1. Never say to guest anything about “makanan dah habis” when we paid for buffet. Buffet means the foods must always there.
2. Breakfast at the beach bar. We were asked to go there as the main restaurant was full and we were told that the food is similar to the main restaurant and it was actually not. It seems the main restaurant has more variety of foods.
GGuest UserQuite a nice hotel. I arrived sharp at 3pm to check in, however my room was not ready. Mr Firdaus the receptionist was kind and well explained. And giving me a token was a plus point.
Breakfast was good however do come before 8.30am as if you come late, the bright sunlight will disturb your breakfast.
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.
WWynnie8585The hotel has a great location, but there’s still room for improvement.
The staff are okay, and the service and facilities are average. During Ramadan, the buffet breakfast is replaced with an à la carte menu. The food tastes average—just enough to fill your stomach.
The hotel is quite old, so there are visible black stains and mold in the room. While it’s not exactly dirty, the age of the building makes it hard to maintain cleanliness. The bedsheets also had an unpleasant smell, so I think the laundry staff may need better training.
On the bright side, when I shared my feedback with the front desk, they informed me that the hotel is currently undergoing renovations.
Overall, considering the price, it's still an acceptable stay.
MMyranI stayed for 1 night on Saturday.
1st, I came in, Reception wearing kebaya with sour face. But, she did check-in process overall OK.
My very frustrated point was, we went out for our dinner and came back to hotel at 12midnight. Unfortunately, parking space was full. And, as in-house guest, we need to park our car outside from hotel coverage which across the street (beside Lebanon Restaurant). To me., as in-house guest, we are NOT supposed park our car far from hotel coverage.
In fact, i spoke to parking staff whereby i wanted to do double park & leave my phone number to them, but strictly denied by those staff which again I felt very down. I dare to offer for double park because I will leave the hotel as early at 8.00am next morning.
When we checked-out at 8.30am next morning, all of the cars still not moving. SO, THERE'S NO HARM IF I DID THE DOUBLE PARK !!
Common sense la management !
