"The hotel location is great and near to many famous street and market, walking distance to many place。 Staff are friendly and hotel is clean, high tea provided and is quite nice. we book 5 room in total, one of the room check in 2 days later, but sad to say that near to kitchen, and is quite noise in the very early morning when the hotel prepare the breakfast. Hope hotel can consider this and do something to avoid frustration."

"My overall experience with the hotel is okay in terms of room cleanliness and the location. However, the hotel does not allow guests to add on additional amenities as they are chargeable. So means if your towel is wet, you’ll have to deal with it 😅. The staffs are friendly, except I met a female receptionist who’s cocky and spoke to me about chargeable amenities."

"Worth the price, room well maintained, nice hard and soft pillows. Allowed early check in before 3pm this is the best part after leaving luggage in the room, it's shopping time. Right and left shopping malls. Breakfast and facilities can cross-use with its sister hotel. Took the 2mins buggy ride FOC from Kelawai to Gurney for Breakfast which starts from 630am to 1030am."

"The Prestige Hotel is one of the very interesting hotels that we have stayed in. The staff explained how the design elements of the shower room came about and also the corridor walkway. I shall not disclose the information till you stayed in this hote. Overall, the location is good, and the hotel is comfy. We arrived early, but they allowed us to check in early as it's my birthday. The staff also send in-room a cake. Nice gestures and friendly staff. My son wasn't well and rested in the room. Upon hearing that, one of the female staff offered to deliver porridge to his room. Such great service. Thanks to all the staff, we had a great stay in Penang."

"First time staying at the Grand Ol Dame of Penang, celebrating its 140th anniversary. Stayed for 2 nights and the experience was great. Room was spacious and comfortable, facing the sea and you wake up to the sounds of crashing waves. Service was excellent. Breakfast was great, with cook-to-order char koay teow and roti canai, in addition to the standard eggs station. Hotel location was strategic, with plenty of food options a simple Grab ride away. The only thing lacking was the TV, coffee machine and fridge in the room, all of which could use an upgrade."

"Here’s a translation of your review into English:
It was a very delightful one-night stay. Upon arrival at the front desk, we were greeted with warm smiles and excellent service, along with a welcome ice cream. We were even offered a complimentary upgrade to a king bed room.
When we entered the room, we were pleasantly surprised to see that the hotel had thoughtfully accommodated my request made online to be near the elevator, as I was traveling with two young children and wanted to avoid walking too far. The room was very clean and spacious, and the bed was extremely comfortable.
To our surprise, the minibar included a birthday cake, as I had mentioned online that we were staying to celebrate my husband’s birthday. This thoughtful gesture truly touched us. Additionally, the hotel provided complimentary snacks and soft drinks, which were a lovely bonus.
We chose this hotel for its convenience, as it allowed our two children to rest easily after getting tired from exploring the mall. It turned out to be exactly as we hoped—super convenient. The hotel is also close to a famous food street, but unfortunately, we couldn’t visit due to the rain. Instead, we dined at one of the many restaurant options within the mall.
The breakfast the next morning was abundant and delicious, and since our two kids are under five, they enjoyed complimentary breakfast as well.
We have no regrets about choosing this hotel. Our entire family had a wonderful time, and we would definitely stay here again in the future.
Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!"

"It’s our first time staying here with 9yo child. We were given Block B room. Felt welcome by all staffs, always greet us with smile. Clear & helpful communication. Love the free coffee & simple snack service at the comfortable lobby. Swimming pool is acceptable at block B, could be better if there is someone to watch over as there were some tourist allow their child to go naked in the pool(not sure they pee inside or not). Love the free clean water dispenser service available near the lift. Although Breakfast could be better (omelette doesn’t taste nice), there are some dirty stains in certain parts of the toilet, overall our stay was comfortable & satisfied. Location wise is also consider convenient to many walking distance places, there’s a tourist map available for free at the reception, very helpful & thoughtful. Definitely will consider staying here again in future."

SSoloTravelAnnaI recently enjoyed a three-night stay at the Sleep Box Hotel, and I had a lovely experience! The room was cozy, and the bed was super comfortable. It came with an air conditioning unit, a TV, a chair, a small table, and hangers for my clothes. Plus, I appreciated having two towels and two bathroom bags for my personal items.
The bathrooms are located at the end of the corridor—there’s a blue one for men and a pink one for women. Just a heads up: you’ll need to pass through the blue area to get to the pink one. The showers even have a changing area, and they provide shampoo and body wash, which is a nice touch!
I also found washing machines in the bathroom areas, which was really convenient. And if you need to grab a snack or a drink, there’s a microwave, a water dispenser, and a fridge for guests to use. Overall, it was a great stay!

AAnonymous UserI want to be back!
🏅Reception staff - offered welcome drinks (cold grape juice) upon arrival. It was only past 10am but they allowed us early check-in! Called us after a few hours to ask if everything is alright with the room, or if we need anything...very proactive approach. The next day I called them to request some things we needed and they arranged it fast, with the help of Housekeeping. They were also very helpful with recommendations on where to eat breakfast. And yes, this hotel offer FREE shuttle service at popular breakfast hangouts. Just book your slot and timing with them.
Housekeeping - Sattar was assigned to our room and I have no complaints. I'm happy how he made our room fresh, replenished, and clean everyday. I made small requests if I can get some more of this and that, and he obliged very willingly!
Shuttle Driver - leaves on the dot. We always booked the 8:30am trip. This is a FREE service and there are 7 (I think) breakfast stops you can choose from. I love this service as it gives you plenty of options on what to eat, and Penang is truly a foodie destination. The hotel doesn't serve breakfast, I think that's why they have this service instead.
Location - no regrets! It's very central to everything. We did mostly walking tour to explore Georgetown and this hotel is close to many popular spots and streets. If you're tired of being outdoors, there's a new mall nearby, 1st Avenue, and some other older ones like Gama, Prangin Mall, and of course, TOP Komtar.
Room - very spacious for 2 persons! Everything we needed was provided. We really had a comfortable stay ❤️.
Pool - It has an acrylic bottom swimming pool with sweeping views of Georgetown. How cool is that! Gorgeous views from here!
Thank you to all hotel staff! It's not just the hotel itself, but your warm service is truly appreciated. Would love to come back again!

KKrystal TanWe had such an awesome time at Citadines Cecil! Although there is no breakfast, a food market is literally 1 min walk away, diagonally opposite the hotel. Its location is close to the main shopping areas, and most attractions are around 10-25MYR by Grab.
The rooms are clean and new. Toilet is great. Nice and cosy 🥰
Boyfriend loved how they have 24h coffee available all day!

GGuest UserThe buffet breakfast on the first day was great! The pandan chicken was our favourite. They have egg stations where you can order how you like your eggs, toasts, fruits, cereals n milk, coffee machine, dim sum baos, nasi lemak, noodles. Quite decent for the price of the room Inc bf. Had a nice chat w the guy manning the counter as we were there at like 7am n there were not other guests yet. Sit near the window if you are early and get a nice scenic view while enjoying bf.
Location wise no comments as we go everywhere via grab.
Room was clean, only wished they had bigger rooms for like 2 queen beds for families with young children. We had a king bed but cannot fit all of us. Shower lotion n shampoo not great so I used the ones I brought along for my children. It smelled like Mama lemon dish washing detergent. Aircon was cold n nice.
8.9/10
GGuest UserThe good:
No deposit upon checking in, check in and out was a breeze, parking provided, the room carpet is clean and centralised aircond cools the room very quickly, the bed and bedding is comfy, cleanliness is tiptop, there's a pool and gym that's nice, and the TV channels were decent
The bad:
Did not validate my car plate and upon driving out, i was charged rm60+ for overnight parking. this was sorted out very quickly but was a hassle, the entrance to room from the parking lot is weird and not disabled friendly.
Overall, i had a good rest at st giles wembley at a decent price. Joined the membership and got a nice cup of coffee at the lobby. I got a room near the lift, so there were noises outside thus the soundproofing is not very good. But felt safe and the clean room feels good. A solid 4 out of 5, could have been better if it came with breakfast minus the hiccup at parking fees.

CCalvan TanOur regular hotel whenever we visit Penang. Hotel is clean and just beside New Lane Night Market (except Wednesday). The only downside is the swimming pool comes with lots of crows and pigeons. Hope the hotel management can set up some netting or so to prevent the birds from coming to the pool. Anyway thanks everyone. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

RReenaa AmaranRecommended!
Great location which is very convenient. Nearby got convenience store, fnb, mosque. Clean room and very clean bathroom almost like new. They also provide a decent breakfast which tasted great.
Cons is the parking space is limited and narrow so your only choice is road side parking or paid parking. Room very narrow and no tables to place your luggage or to eat. Which is very annoying if you like to tapao food back to room.

7.7/10
AAnonymous UserThe location of the hotel is remarkable, very good, convenient to go everywhere. Downstairs is next to a breakfast shop, the roast meat and white chicken are absolutely delicious, especially delicious.
The hotel is very clean, and the accommodation is satisfactory. It is a good choice to only sleep and mainly go out for fun. The only dissatisfied waitress who came down to open the door for us was thin and wearing a nose stud, very arrogant and impolite. The slightly fatter waitress responsible for checkin is very good, and the male waiter who cleans the room is also very good.
