      Room was clean and comfy, toiletries were provided except bathrobe. Breakfast spread was huge and variety was great. Just the interior design is slightly dated and there are some funny dark corners in the hotel, but all is good! The staff are polite and service is great. My sister was panicking because she left her iPod at the gym and only remembered one day later. When we returned to the hotel to ask, we managed to claim it from the lost and found at the counter. We thought we lost it for good and was surprised we could get it back! Mr Ajib who was cleaning the gym had picked it up and returned it. We will really like to commend him for his honesty and kindness! We are also thankful to him!! It really goes to show that the staff are very honest people. Would recommend staying here if you want to be close to George Town, the UNESCO heritage area. Around 10 min walk to the Chew jetty and nearby shops and stores.

      When I came there on a rainy day around chinese new year, the old guy at the reception shouted : ” fully booked” agressively, and then when I show him the booking on my phone from Hotels.com, he was a bit kinder, he grumbled about Hotels.com and then offered me a room without window without even offering a discount. I refuses because it wasn't what I had payed for, then he told me they had an other hotelandI could stay there but I had to wait for a guy with a car coming soon to drive me there, I waited for more than an hour then he drove me to the other side of the city to an hotel really crap (foto) and an other room wirhout window, I was really furious, I told then, then emailled them I wanted to cancel and get a full refund, they never replied. As soon I found a new hotel I contacted Hotels.com, they could not reach the hotel, they promised to do their best but 3 days later they had done nothing they even made a confusion with another hotel I had booked thru them, they send me messages every 5/6 days saying they still could not reach the hotel but they keep up trying, and then 2 weeks passed and nothing more, I asked them what was going on: They said they could not reach the hotel and in this case their politic was :no refund! And generously they offered me a 10$ credit! So on Hotels.com they can book for u a room in an hotel already fully booked, and then if the hotel do not reply at your request it can gleefully going away with the money and rent rooms that do not exist! In the normal world, in a justice suit if a party doesn't show up at the court he will lost, the absentee is always wrong, with Hotels.com it's the opposite!

      Absolutely terrible. I walk in at 10am, and the guy at the counter does not welcome me, but instead asks for over 100myr. Poor customer service from him, he maybe be new but it would be worth that he gets some training on how to deal with customers. My first room was very dirty. There were stains around the bed, there were stains on the towel, the bathroom had not been cleaned properly, it very disgusting. The cleaners did not look like official cleaners as they were not dressed in uniform. The cupboards were dusty. I asked to move room, and the lady was very kind and moved room. However this room smelt of cigarettes!!! It was vile. Again there was same problem with the room not being clean. I felt incredibly disgusted because whose spit and body fluid could In that room. I instead checked out and found that the manager was rude to his staff. I did not get a refund on my room but did end up with all the extra cash I had to pay.

      We booked this hotel via Booking.com using our credit card to secure the room On arrival, and after filling out the relevant forms we were asked for payment as expected, at this point they disclosed it was only cash and we could not use our credit cards. Even when we showed them the booking that had no mention of the cash only policy. So, it is now late in the day and they are the most unhelpful staff we have met during our current year long trip (that bad), they would not even give us access to the WiFi to arrange another room. After nearly 3 hours and constant calls to Booking.com we finally agreed no cancellation fee would apply despite it being the hotels mistake....they would not agree to the waiver of the fee until I would not leave. They even showed me an email their manager had sent to Booking.com showing this was a regular occurrence. There are many very good hotels in Georgetown...stay clear of this one. We moved to the Royale Chelung 10 minutes away... fantastic service by very helpful people... It may have been a nice hotel, however the management and staff do not care!!! STAY WELL CLEAR

      We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is a Chinese colonial mansion and had a UNESCO heritage feel. The rooms we had were spacious and comfortable with large bathrooms. We traveled with another couple so we enjoyed the common spaces so we spend more time together outside of our individual rooms. Access to to the kitchen and dining area was great. The best part of our stay was the wonderful staff. They were attentive and always willing to assist. The location was walking distance to the jetty and esplanade. There are many good restaurants nearby.

      I applied for a visa and stayed for one night. Housing with remote check-in, which was easier than with a person, the main thing is to get the password in advance, located in the center of attractions.

      Every review you read about Ren i Tang is true. It is both a living legacy of Georgetown’s rich history and a personal, elegant and soulful hotel. The Ren i Tang hotel is the best hotel we have ever traveled the world, and Karen’s generosity plus beautiful craftsmanship handmade Kashmir carpets, furniture with renewable wood, “holy” beds are all memorable experiences. The hotel is within walking distance to Little India with world-class food street. Ren i Tang is the place to meet you if you want a real, unique experience in Georgetown.

      The hotel is not far from chew jetty and street art, about 200 meters, walking comfortably. There is a bus stop next to the fire station, you can take a bus to Komta for only 2 stops, the fare is 1.4RM, and you can connect the car to travel to different places straight away. If going to the airport, take Line 102 airport, the fare is 2.7 ringgit per person. I've tried sitting around and it's very comfortable. And one more thing, there is a free bus only in George town as well.

      My elderly parents stayed at The Gurney during their medical checkup in Penang and accidentally left behind some documents. We emailed the hotel and left a message through booking.com to no avail. Then through a phone call, we got connected to Danesh at the Concierge Department, who then went the extra mile to coordinate among various departments within the hotel, and mailed the document through express courier service. His attentive service is highly appreciated.

      The hotel is good and clean, but the service of parking security is terrible, before we check in, one of the security was playing his phone and videocalling with his friend,so he didnt even notice our car,when he finally noticed us after my husband was leaving to check in first, he knocked our car heavily,and said this is not parking area,i said ok,just a second,he is checking in,the security was rolling his eyes and said it emphasisly again,asked me to move it and i dont even have driving license here. One minutes later ,my husband was back with room card,he checked and let us just parking right there!! can not believe there are rude staff in this fancy hotel! 这个酒店的保安无比地*****,我们车停在门口去checkin ,有一个印度保安当时在草丛里玩手机压根没看到我们,然后我老公刚离开座位,车引擎今年还开这,就听见有人猛敲我车窗,我吓一跳看见这个印度保安从草丛里跑出来手机不玩了,说这不是停车位,我说好的 等一分钟,他去checkin ,我们马上开走,他在那翻着白眼大声说这不是停车位! 我说我没驾照,不然你来开。他一副高高在上的嘴脸,站在我车门口,然后等我老公出来拿着房卡,他一看是酒店的客人,就说把车摆正,等我们下车他赶紧跑远了。酒店平时都没有服务态度的培训吗,他都把自己当这酒店主人了

      The white elevator is very unique to this elevator. Tho it was slow but I don’t mind bec it so chic with glass door. Very unique indeed! Love it though I wasn’t able to take pic. 😒 +++ white elevator, water refilling dispenser, very spacious room & bathroom +++ location was quite away from the main action but there are 2 bus stops nearby, komtar & chowrasta are 5-10mins walk +++ they provide dental kit, small soap, nice shampoo/conditioner & body wash, mugs, electric kettle, safe, ref, ac was functioning very well, room telephone, tv but i did not use it +++ free wifi was good —- reception is not very friendly except for 1 Indian guy who promptly answers whatsapp tho he mistaken me for a guy at first 😄, the chinese receptionist hardly smiles, indian lady seemed to not know anything when you ask about tourist spots (i think hotel people should equip themselves with some knowledge on tourism. I mean there should be basic orientation by management on this. Times had changed and you need to have these extra customer service, just suggesting). —- i was in the assumption that cleaning is daily but i was told every other day but i still need to remind them about it. Entire hotel can use some improvement in the cleaning — no closet inside the room, you just have to hang your stuff —- my view was a huge wall —- soundproofing is bad, very noisy when people close doors or children running around. You hear toilet flushing from nearby rooms —- it was raining when I arrive and nobody offered an umbrella except on the second day when the janitor heard me. That was appreciated very much. It also made me realize that umbrella is a weapon for solo travellers so that made the carrying a little easier —- towels smell mushy maybe bec of rainy season —- sometimes bathroom had some drainage smells —- food choices was a little limited in area unless you walk for like 5-10mins. Overall stay was still on the good side. I had way worst stays than this. I did enjoy my solo trip to Penang and would love to go back. I plan to stay next time near the street art areas where the actions are. I would still recommend le embassy to other travellers.

      Hotel is nice, however I highly recommend to change or move carpets in the corridor - they looks terrible and at first glance spoil the impression about the place. Rooms were clean, bathroom is new, hot water is very good. That is a pity you couldn’t open the windows, we have a view on the nearest building roofs, looks not bad. We had a problem with AC, cause it works from extremely cold mode, to slow fan and the worst it was located in front of the bad, so if you switch it on for whole night - you will be ill in the morning, and the room is in the sunny side, so it is quite hot during the day and night. I don’t know how to be with that, we choose to move one of the 2 twin beds to each other, it helped not so much :( now i have a problem with my throat. The hotel use new technology of check in, but a little bit strange to check out from the same room if you want to extend your stay. Price in the hotel too high, better to find good offers online.

We thanks to the hotel for the good services. Thumbs up and keep up the good work. We will definitely stay here if we go to penang again.

      It's a pleasant stay. We love the location as it's easy to travel around Georgetown, Penang Hill n even to Batu Ferringhi with the local bus! The New Lane Street Food is just less than 5 mins walk down the road n the famous fried fish n Bee Hoon in the morning. I especially love the 24 hours gymn. The staff in charge was quick to repair the weight lifting equipment n top up the supply of the mineral water. The only minus point is that the lighting can be a little bit brighter. As a whole, we are happy staying here n shall return in the near future.

      The location is great, walking distance to nearby mall & eateries. Room was spacious & decorated in luxurious style. Toilet was clean & equipped with bath tub which was a plus point for us. Love the breakfast spread that consisted of various nice food choices & the waitresses was very helpful especially to elderly. The only drawback was noise made by nearby hotel/ karaoke area at night. Overall, its worth the money i've paid.

      Good location and walking distance (maybe 5-10 min walk) to Komtar for The Top Entertainment (eg. Jurassic Research Centre, Observatory Deck), famous Teochew Chendol street and 10 mins walk to Newlane night street food. Clean and comfortable room with 2 kids. Breakfast is decent served variety of food (coffee machine, egg counter, yogurt and pastries). Will definitely come again for the convenience to the famous spot at Georgetown.
