Had a smooth check in and got my room fast (probably coz i checked in around 5.30pm). Room was spacious and well equipped. It has a functioning kitchen with induction cooker, oven, dishwasher, pots pans, knife, cutting board, can opener, kitchen scissors, utensils, plates bowls including serving plates/bowls, strainer, dishwashing soap and sponge, dish rag and dish rack. A washer dryer (need to bring own detergent), microwave etc. Master bath is equipped with bath tub with sea view. Kiddies pool has slides and is covered with canopy so kids can play all day while being shaded. Place is nearby to main attractions and malls and the gurney drive is a great place to jog. Below has a small connecting mall with nice cafes. I will definitely come back here again

The room was quite spacious, but the bed was small, and there was a lot of wasted space in the bathroom. This time I requested a high floor, and the view was great. Breakfast was just okay.

A very nice hotel with spacious rooms, right by the sea. It's about a 10-15 minute taxi ride to the city center. This time, our room even had a washing machine, so my mom didn't have to worry about our clothes getting smelly in the summer anymore! **Environment:** Great. The restaurants nearby are also affordable and serve delicious food. **Facilities:** Quite new.

we paid in advance for breakfast services, but when we arrived the following morning, we were informed that our names were not on the list. This caused significant embarrassment for us! Despite confirming our payment and providing the necessary details, we were repeatedly asked to verify the payment again, which further delayed the process and inconvenienced everyone involved.please improve your front desk and backend communication with each other!

Ascott Gurney Penang exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort, cleanliness, and overall experience. What made the stay even more memorable was the exceptional service from Mr. Khoo Min Jie. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was well taken care of. His attentiveness, professionalism, and warm hospitality truly stood out. Staff like him are a great asset to the hotel. Thank you for making my stay such a wonderful one.

Location: Situated right by Gurney Bay, it's about a 10-15 minute walk to Gurney Plaza, or a 5-6 MYR taxi ride. Getting to the old town costs around 7 MYR by taxi. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and a small mall next door with a mini-supermarket and restaurants. You can cross the road to the beachfront for a walk or a run. Facilities: The room was quite spacious with a great sea view, and the bedding was very comfortable. The bathroom was also huge with a separate wet and dry area. Bottled water isn't provided, but there's a purified water tap. The swimming pool is fantastic with lovely views. Service: I was particularly impressed by a young lady and a young man at the front desk who both spoke Chinese and provided incredibly gentle and thoughtful service. They even helped us solve an awkward problem. The security guard at the entrance was also super enthusiastic, helping with luggage and always greeting us warmly. The restaurant is spacious, and breakfast offers a wide variety. The young man who makes the noodle soup, who also speaks Chinese, had an absolutely wonderful attitude. Cleanliness: Everything was thoroughly cleaned, with no hidden spots or strange odors found anywhere. This was the most satisfying hotel of our entire trip.

A great stay at the Ascott hotel! Fantastic facilities - pool, gym, laundry room, large kids play room and covered kids pool with slides. Rooms were super spacious with a high standard of finish. Daily housekeeping always did a great job and the toiletries provided were good quality. Comfortable pillows and beds and large windows. I would recommend this hotel for business, families and couples and it meets everyone’s needs well. Breakfast was also great - although we stayed over Christmas so was quite busy..but despite this, the pool area was never crowded. Beautiful views from the pool too. If I return to Penang, I would stay here again.

Great breakfast, not a huge amount for western tourists but more than enough to keep you full. Our room was spacious with loads of storage and a huge shower with great views.
