Pros:

Our room was ready ahead of time! Ms Khalieda Loyalty Manager was there to greet us on arrival (we want to believe it was intended :-)) - she was very friendly, knowlegeable and informative. The welcome cocktail and complimentary drinks in the room minibar was a pleasant surprise. The welcome card greeting us in the room from the Housekeeping PIC - HiMon was a very personal touch. The room was beyond our expectations - finely furnished. Exquisite tub and shower. The sea facing window gave us the wide view of the new esplanade, Penang Bay and Gurney Drive - waiting for us to have a breezy evening stroll or jog in our next trip. Breakfast was wonderfully elaborate with broad local and international options. Ala carte dining @ Sago Level 2 was sumptuous and have generous portions. We are happy to find a new home in Penang. Do expect us to return!

Overpriced hotel with poorly designed rooms in a fairly good location
Pros:

The location and the room size

Cons:

1. The wardrobes in the room did not have enough shelves to arrange our clothes

2. Electric switches were hap hazardly placed. One bathroom light switch in the bathroom controlled a bed side lamp waking us up every time the bathroom was used!

3. The shower area did not have anti skid mats and the floor was slippery

4. There was a mosquito in the room on the last night that woke me up.

5. We were told that children are not allowed in the executive lounge between 5 and 8 pm and did not let our 14 year old go. However we saw young kids there during that time.

6. No fire escape or evacuation plan visible in the room.

7. Not enough hooks or racks to hang wet towels in the bathroom

8. Not worth the price. Other hotels in the George Town UNESCO Heritage area are better. This hotels location is hardly an advantage as it only takes a few minutes to travel from Gurney to the Heritage area and cabs are very cheap

Je suis un professionnel réservant pour des collaborateurs et je suis face à un établissement de la catégorie palace qui est incapable de me fournir une facture pour ma société, ce qui reste un mystère

Worth stay
Pros:

Center town
Spacious parking

Cons:

Complimentary for the miscommunication is not worth it
Gave us fruits to share for 6 of us
2 rooms ( 1 plate each with 2 slice pineapple + 2 slice water mellon + 3 berries ) - we expect full plate
Misscomm issue - we booked 2 rooms with sea view & requested to be next door as we have kids that will keep going in out both rooms but was told room avail only with diff floors ) Nobody call us to inform the unavailability buy we did called 3 times to remind our request
Upon check in & insisted to our request your frontline officer managed to gave us room 1426 & 1422
I hope you ll be more professional handling this issue to make sure it wont happen agan
Overall ok

Best hotel in Penang for tourists
Pros:

Very clean, amazing sea view, convenient location, friendly staffs, scenic infinity style pool, delicious breakfast buffet (fresh roti and noodle station). Would 100% stay again.

Cons:

Avoid early breakfast when there’s a conference, as it gets crowded.
