Top Downtown George Town Hotel Reviews

The Granite Luxury Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was excellent. Beautiful big rooms, a wonderful infinity pool, kind staff, and a shuttle service that took guests to breakfast spots in the morning. Walking distance to the main streets in Georgetown. Would stay again with no hesitation."

Muntri Grove

8/10 Good

"This is a little hidden gem in the heart of Georgetown - perfectly located for exploring and enjoying the enthralling historic city. The staff were fantastic, the room was very spacious, functional and clean - the highlight being the clever use of the legacy building and the decoration and features to match (with modern touches, including aircon). Some will find the sound of the nightlife till the small hours off-putting perhaps, and the amenities are basic although they include a lovely little pool/patio area. The lack of onsite catering is an irrelevance as there is a plethora of options right on the doorstep, with helpful advice & guidance available from reception. A really comfortable and relaxing base for a Penang adventure."

G Hotel Gurney

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at G Hotel Gurney Penang. What stood out to us most was the warm and friendly service. The team was always responsive, attentive and proactive, which made us feel very well taken care of throughout our stay. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable, with good amenities and everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Breakfast was another highlight, with a very good spread and plenty of choices to start the day. We also enjoyed the convenience of having good restaurants within the hotel. The location is excellent too, with Gurney Plaza just next to the hotel, making shopping and dining so easy. Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable stay with lovely hospitality, good food and a great location. We would be happy to stay here again."
