Holiday from 5 to 8 June 2026
Pros:

Definitely a to go hotel in Penang. Though not in Georgetown, grab is always available. We had arranged for pick up services but the driver had sent us to G Hotel instead. The hotel staff was apologetic and helped us arrange the buggy to send us to G Kelawai Hotel. We were given free ice cream at the point of check in and we thought this was a welcoming and nice gesture given the hot humid weather. Most of the staff that we encountered was warm and friendly. The room was clean and there is free minibar (drinks and some snacks). There are many food options at both the nearby shopping malls. I will recommend this hotel
