G Hotel Gurney
4.7/5152 Reviews

G Hotel Gurney

George Town|0.29km from Gurney Drive
We had a pleasant three-day stay at this hotel. The hotel is in an excellent location, situated between two large malls with plenty of shops and restaurants and within a reasonable cab ride to both George Town and Batu Ferringhi. The room was quite spacious but a little bit dated and worn down. It could use a refresh. The bed was very comfortable, however, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent. We enjoyed using the beautiful infinity pool. Service was friendly and efficient. One area that could use improvement is the breakfast. Although there is a good variety of items offered, many just weren't very tasty. The best thing on the buffet was the homemade ice cream. Overall, this is a good place to stay when exploring the island of Penang.
G Hotel Kelawai

G Hotel Kelawai

George Town|0.49km from Gurney Drive
This marks my initial visit to this hotel, and it has proven to be a satisfying choice. Situated amidst Gurney Plaza and Paragon, the warm welcome featuring complimentary ice cream added a delightful touch. The room boasts a beautiful design, complete with a complimentary mini-bar and turndown service. A must-try is the breakfast, complemented by the welcoming and warm demeanor of the entire staff.

Penang Marriott Hotel

I am really satisfied with my stay this time. From the front desk staff to the restaurant, the security at the door, and the black guy who does the cleaning, they all treat guests very politely and the overall quality is very high.

Last minute booking. Had low expectation since it’s an old hotel. It is very well maintained and very clean. Amenities are very good as well. Their health club is really good, had the chance to use their gym, sauna and jacuzzi. Nice view!

Latest booking 2 hrs ago

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.

Breakfast

Berjaya Penang Hotel
3.8/5167 Reviews

Berjaya Penang Hotel

George Town|0.79km from Gurney Drive
I recently stayed at the Berjaya Hotel in Penang and found the experience to be a mix of comfort and inconvenience. The bed was notably comfortable, providing a good night's rest. However, my stay was marred by significant noise issues. It seemed like there was a lot of disturbance coming from the surrounding rooms, particularly when someone next door used water facilities. I suspect the main water compressor might be located near my room (2209), which contributed to the noise levels.The hotel, in general, shows signs of aging. While it maintains a classic charm, it would benefit greatly from refurbishment to enhance the overall guest experience. This update could really elevate the hotel to the standard one expects from a property in such a prime location.
Wang's Hotel Gurney Drive
3.9/566 Reviews

Wang's Hotel Gurney Drive

George Town|1.09km from Gurney Drive
The room is enough, friendly and helpful staff, necessary amenities, clean and tidy as well as really safe! Affordable prices in the heart of Gurney Drive itself. Walking distance to 2 famous malls (Gurney plaza and Gurney Paragon), as well as petrol station and eateries just a stroll away.
Hotel Waterfall
3.2/58 Reviews

Hotel Waterfall

George Town|1.5km from Gurney Drive
I stayed at Waterfall Hotel, Penang recently with my parents for a night. We were there for pilgrimage trip hence we decided to stay a hotel near to temples and this was a perfect place. The room is spacious, comfy and clean. It has two double beds as we stayed in a Superior Family Room. The room consists of all the basic facilities such as Hot Shower, Toiletries, Towels, Hairdryer, Fridge and Electric Kettle. Near by there is an Indian Restaurant which offer both Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian Food. There are also other cafes. Overall, it was good.
Vouk Hotel Suites, Penang
3.9/5391 Reviews

Vouk Hotel Suites, Penang

George Town|1.89km from Gurney Drive
First time staying at VOUK hotel. It’s definitely not the most luxurious hotel, but for the price point, it’s worth a stay. Pros: Location is perfect, with lots of local delights within the vicinity (2-3km away). Receptionist and all other hotel staffs are mostly friendly, except they are not very fluent in English and communication may be a little difficult. Cons: Amenities are not very complete, and cleanliness can be improved. The cups were not washed and carpeted floor was not vacuumed. P.S. I don’t recommend the oden from the lounge. We waited for 45 minutes even though we were the only customer in the lounge. The noodles were not cooked and the Tom Yum gravy was purely made of oil.
One Pacific Hotel and Serviced Apartments
4.4/557 Reviews

One Pacific Hotel and Serviced Apartments

George Town|2.5km from Gurney Drive
Quick check in and check out, friendly receptionist. Standard room is very large. It can put down a 3 person bed and a temporary extra bed. Very limited facilities. They only provide 2 towels, 2 small bags per tea and coffee, 2 small plastic mixing spoons. Stay away from the elevator near as it is a bit noisy especially during sleep time. Convenience store and laundry service are available, just downstairs. Halal food across the street is just around the corner. Free WiFi, good location, good for going to hospital. The island hospital is within walking distance, or you can sit on uber, as long as RM3 around.
Courtyard Penang
4.5/5151 Reviews

Courtyard Penang

George Town|2.8km from Gurney Drive
Arriving in the hotel and checking in was simple, friendly and fuss free. They were kind to my requests and assigned me a high floor sea view room, thank you. JASMEEN at the front office is very helpful, friendly and kind. My room is beautiful and the size is just nice, i only wish the bathroom has a view instead of sealed up in frosted glass. The spa and swimming pool is on the 11 floor, the pool is very refreshing to swim in the afternoon, but it would have been nicer to face the sea than the city. Breakfast is very delicious, the host Mr.BALU is always there, smiling and guiding you to your table. BOHARAJ also serves everyone with a smile. I enjoy my stay here very much for 5 days and 4 nights. I will stay here again when i come back to Penang. The location is very good as it is just a short walk away to all the great street food !

Gurney Coast House at Gurney Drive

Gurney Coast House at Gurney Drive

3.6/55 Reviews
This is a newly opened hotel. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, very quiet, and free parking at the door. The most important thing is that the boss is very nice, very enthusiastic and speaks Chinese! The location is also top-notch, it is easy to find, and there is a big night market at the door. I'm here to travel. The cause of the epidemic will not go away for a while. I have lived here for a while and I feel very good. I highly recommend it

The room and bathroom facilities are clean. The room number and key box password will be notified via email before check-in (it is not recommended to check in first time). There is no counter service, no contact during check-in, and the public space is relatively small. Surrounded by shopping malls, restaurants and bus stations.
Tropics Eight Suites

Tropics Eight Suites

3.9/544 Reviews
We stayed at a studio suite in tropics eight (room 805) for a week during our visit to Penang. The hotel staff are lovely and very accomodating, our room had a fantastic binder with all the information we needed to know about tropics eight, Penang tourist destinations and bus routes to get to them. Our studio was spacious and the bathroom was clean. The sofa was comfortable as well, and the location of tropics eight was perfect for us to walk to nearby places. The laundry room was very useful, but we unfortunately had to wait a while to do our laundry as only one machine was functioning during our stay. I only wish our room had a window instead of a small balcony so that we could have enjoyed the view all day long. Overall, it was a great stay. I would no doubt return to tropics eight again.
Family Suite Sunrise Gurney Penang

Family Suite Sunrise Gurney Penang

4.3/521 Reviews
Pros: spacious and suitable for big families. Kitchen is accommodated with lots of utilities and super nice view. Excellent wifi connection. 12 minutes walking distance to Gurney plaza. Cons: Check in process was very hassle. Trip.com didnt expose name or phone number of guest names. We ourselves had to get the contact number from the security guard upon arrival. The staff appeared at sharp 3pm to pass us the check in card and carpark. Booked 12 3A but ended up we got 8 3A on the same day. Cleanliness was 3/5 as we saw cockroach at living hall. Aircond at master room was dripping throughout the night and it really disturbed our sleep quality. When we called the pic, she informed that technician has repaired in the morning.
