G Hotel Kelawai is an excellent choice for a stay in Penang. The location is perfect, conveniently near the big shopping mall Gurney Plaza. We were greeted with a welcome ice cream upon arrival, which was a nice touch. The rooms are spacious, well-maintained, and comfortable. The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly, always greeting us warmly when we returned to the hotel. We requested extra water, and it was delivered promptly. Overall, a fantastic experience—great job, G Hotel Kelawai!

Travel with my mom to Penang first time. The hotel was chosen because it’s just a few steps away from Gurney Plaza. Free ice creams were served when we arrived and checked in hotel. The room at high floor is very spacious. However, the facilities are quite simple consider it’s a five star hotel. The washroom is not user friendly especially for oldies. First day after showering, we found bath towels got stains. We informed hotel service staff, they came to changed them immediately with apologies. The room has sea view, the breakfasts are nice and tasty. It’s a pleasant stay overall, will consider to visit again next time!

The best thing about Gurney Bay was the sea view and spacious room. It was clean, dated but comfortable. The breakfast buffet had a wide range of food.
The reception service could be more welcoming. The receptionist was wearing a face mask. I was surprised that he could not let me know if I could have a later check out time the day before the check out. Was told that I needed to ask on the check out day. Also noted that the service staff at the breakfast restaurant needed to call the office to check if breakfast was included for my room. This process could be improved.

A very good location. Overall consider jot too bad, if the aircon is functioning well. Our room got an issue of aircon water leaking, after feedback to receptionist, they send technician to repair within 10mins, but it happen again next day morning. Other than this are good.
Comfort enough to have a good rest. Just some of times feels like staying at budget hotel because of noise come from outside room and toilet's door give a loud sound when open & close 😅😅

Check in process very fast. Roadside parking. Room cleanliness is ok, just the sofa has stains.

Suitable for travellers, walking distance to all the tourist spots.

Outstanding
GGuest UserExcellent quiet location with a private waterfront. The outdoor infinity swimming pool is partially shaded and overlooks the strait of Malacca. The hotel has a classy heritage vibe with distinguished visitors such as Charle Chaplain and King Charles. The breakfast buffet is the best in town with made to order noodle soup and stir fried noodles. There is also a hot food station, omelette station, roti station, fresh fruits and bread
Vv|ncheck in was smooth, rooms were big and comfortable. 11th floor 2 bedrooms really can hear lift moving. coffee machine wasnt maintained properly, lots of stains. alot of complimentary snacks, tea and coffee bags.
GGuest UserHighly recommended.

Free lounge access and drinks.
Nice lounge setting,cozy,relax,served cake and fruits too.
Staff friendly.
Small pool.
AAtasan 09It's a cosy hotel suitable for all age range travellers.
Be it cleanliness, or the services, I like the environment there alot.
I also like the washing machine and dryer provided in the big bathroom.
Only suggestion is should put 1 bottle of mineral in room in case Traveller cant find the water dispenser right after the lift.
IIpohiteThe front liners were friendly and helpful. The stalls selling popular food like char kuey teow are just a few steps away (New Lane). A popular local biscuit outlet is just opposite the hotel for those who want to buy back. Within walking distance, are the iconic Komtar and Gamma. Behind the hotel, one will find the local market. Easy to get Grab services too to places like Kek Lok Si temple.
YyuyudaLocated in the heart of George Town, the hotel offers a blend of modern luxury and local charm, making it a great base for exploring Penang.
Check-in and Service: The check-in process was quick. We able to early check in because the room was ready.
Rooms: The highlight for me was the view from my room—overlooking the bustling city. The rooms were quiet, ensuring a good night’s rest.
Facilities: The hotel features a beautiful outdoor pool with great views, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. I also had the chance to visit the fitness center, which was well-equipped. The on-site restaurant offered a variety of both local and international dishes, and I found the breakfast buffet to be particularly impressive.
Location: The hotel is located in a prime area, just a short walk from Penang’s vibrant street art scene, and it’s easy to explore nearby cafes, shops, and cultural sites. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler to Penang, the location is ideal. Public transport also easy to access since it was near to Komtar
Overall: St. Giles Wembley Penang offers fantastic value for money with its top-notch service, modern facilities, and central location. Whether you're in town for business or leisure, this hotel is a solid choice for your stay in Penang.
GGuest UserStaying at Ozo hotel was amazing! The rooms are big and spacious with a nice city view of Penang. The bathrooms are squeaky clean. The sound proofing is great as I can't hear other rooms at all and lastly the service provided by staff was great. This will be my go to pick of a hotel if I visited Penang again!
MMOHAMMAD AMIRUL SHAFIQ BIN MOHD AZNANThe room and hotel itself meet my expectations as affordable accommodation. Spacious room, with bathtub in the bathroom, tv is functional, iron and iron board are provided as well. Great stay.
DDixon ThumI recently experienced a stay at Apple Hotel Penang, and it was a journey filled with both positives and drawbacks. Situated in the bustling heart of George Town, the hotel's location stands out as a significant advantage. It's within close proximity to key attractions like Penang Times Square, Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar, and 1st Avenue Penang, making exploration convenient and enjoyable.
The hotel offers free WiFi, but regrettably, the signal strength was notably weak during my visit. This may pose a challenge for guests relying heavily on a stable internet connection. Moreover, the availability of free parking, while a welcome feature, comes with a catch—it's extremely limited. Securing a spot can be a bit of a hassle, particularly during peak times.
In terms of accommodations, the rooms at Apple Hotel Penang provide basic amenities, including a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries. However, the cleanliness fell short of expectations, and the overall condition of the rooms didn't meet the standards for a truly comfortable stay. There were dust webs around little corners. While suitable for a brief visit of one or two nights, an extended stay might not be advisable based on my experience.
On a positive note, the 24-hour front desk service was commendable, ensuring assistance was readily available whenever needed. Additionally, the option to engage in a game of pool added a touch of entertainment to the overall stay.
Summing up my personal experience, Apple Hotel Penang offers a budget-friendly option in an unbeatable location. However, guests should be aware of the limitations in terms of cleanliness, weak WiFi, and limited parking. It's a matter of weighing the pros and cons based on individual priorities and preferences. If you prioritize a clean and comfortable environment, exploring alternative options in the area might be worthwhile.
IIsabelleThe hotel location is right on the hot spot of Georgetown. But it goes with noise at night until 2am. So if you plan to be partying at night it's ideal and walking distance to Love Lane and all Georgetown touristic areas.
But if you wish to sleep and relax after midnight definitely not the right hotel for you.
The room was OK in terms of size but a lot of mosquitoes coming from the bathroom drain. I've killed at least 50 of them thanks to a mosquito raquet 🤣 The tip is to close the bathroom curtains so they don't get in the bedroom.
Humidity in the room had the paint peeling off.
For the price I don't think the room quality was enough. Specially for the humidity and mosquitoes combination.
The breakfast menu was not available but you can easily go down the street and eat at ease or order with the application grab. No bar available in the hotel.
The shared areas are clean. Loved that you have to take off your shoes at the entrance.
There are stairs to get into the hotel but they help you with your luggage. The first time you arrive you need to ring the bell for them to come open for you. Small door not easy to spot at first. I suggest to the hotel to stick the name directly on the door at eye level and big to avoid confusion. I've uploaded a picture of the door for you to not get lost.
After you check in they will give you the door code so easy for you to get by.
Staff has been helpful when asked but not interacting or giving you suggestion or asking you how things are going.
I've rated cleanness average because there was a lot of hair in the bathroom when I arrived. Had to literally take it off during 5 minutes. Thick long hair... Not sure how they didn't spot it.
Apart of that they were cleaning all right the rest of the stay.
Internet was not easy to get when in the room but in common areas or close to the door of the room works better. Don't save on a sim card and buy at the airport for having internet at all times on your phone. Will help you with maps and outside anyway.
The taxi from the airport was very convenient only 30 minutes and I ordered with grab came within 5 minutes.
Hope this information helps 🌹
