Feel very welcomed. Awesome staffs from front desk to breakfast room to housekeeping. TV and the kettle didn’t work on first night and they sent electrician the next morning to get it fixed. They also gave us a plate of fruits for our trouble. Small gestures but made us felt valued.
Room was very nice, bed and pillows so comfortable and shower was wonderful. The gym was slightly underwhelming thought it would have more equipments. Breakfast was nice with lots of choices.
Slightly disappointed with the location. I imagined it to be right in town with lots of shops and eating places but Gurney Drive was not what I remembered fifty years ago!!! Probably better off staying in the heritage area of George Town. But it is fairly easy to get Grab and reasonably priced too. Dont go to Bali Seafood nearby, it is expensive and mediocre, I don’t understand how it get Michelin award at all!!!

The room is super clean, the staffs are very friendly, the location is near to many eateries.
Extremely glad that we chose this hotel on this trip to Penang. Room was very nice clean and with lovely sea view. All the staff especially at the club were extremely nice, warm, helpful and very friendly thus made our stay welcoming.
There is one staff in particular that stands out is Mr Samson from the club lounge. Thank you.
Breakfast and cocktail food and drinks were very good clean and very well presented.

Very nice shower. Clean and comfortable beds. Excellent stay.
Room was beautiful and had a great view. Comfortable bed and great shower pressure. Bar/lobby had good drinks and cafe had amazing pastries. Breakfast was a great spread and they make so many things for you. Wish we had more days here.
Stayed 4 nights from Jan 2 - 6th. Quality service overall given the its busy holiday season. Price was slightly on the high end as there were options elsewhere, just wanted to try it given its location on Gurney Drive which was an attraction.
Overall a great choice for us: good location on the waterfront with a large park right across the street, many good food options and shopping malls within waking distance, easy and cheap Grab rides to area attractions, friendly and helpful staff, decent breakfast buffet, room service food that exceeded our expectations, nice outdoor swimming pool and sitting area with a view.
Penang Marriott was everything we hoped for - great people, great room (with a fab shower), great location, lovely pool and plenty of dining options. The hotel definitely lives up to every one of its 5 stars…we loved it!
Your staff are amazing,polite,welcoming and well trained. A particular shout out Areef in Club Lounge who is a fantastic person,friendly,engaging and so helpful. A real asset to the Marriott and will surely go far.
