Guest Reviews
- Martijn (10/5): -
- Kean Guan (9/5): Excellent service and comfort. - Location near mall. Comfortable bed. Excellent staff service. Quite expensive for Penang non-resort property.
- David (10/5): Wonderful facilities, and fabulous staff make for a great stay. - Second time at this hotel.
Great location, the rooms are large and really well equipped.
Great staff that made our stay exceptional
The rooftop pool is wonderful.
Great hotel for relaxation. Sometimes the music on the rooftop was a little loud! But staff did turn the volume down when asked.
- Satoshi (10/5): 親切なスタッフとよいロケーシィン - 親切なスタッフとよいロケーション。ガーニープラザまで徒歩3分
朝食のブッフェも美味しい なし
- vidhnesh (7/5): Good for short stay - Near malls Breakfast and cleanliness
- Julian (10/5): Excellent hotel for a fortnight stay. All the staff are friendly from the helpful security on the door who open the door - It’s a well maintained modern hotel with cool lobby area, well proportioned bedroom and an excellent rooftop pool and bar with great views over the city especially at night and also surrounding countryside. Nothing
- Joshua (10/5): - Great location next to malls and lots of great food N/A

- Gary (8/5): Excellent location, nice rooms, great staff, still needs attention to some details - Nice modern furnishing and great location, not on Gurney Drive as that is often very noisy with traffic but still close to many food & shopping options. The pool area was dirty with cigarette ash all over the floor where guests use the floor as an ashtray. Can only assume it was from the previous night when the roof top pool bar is open.
The pool beds were infested with insects which you can feel constantly bite.so made relaxing rather unpleasant.
The breakfast although offers plenty of ‘local’ choices it’s a buffet and the hot food was luke warm at best, one particular staff member at the egg station was miserable and it was a chore to get them to cook eggs how I like them!!!
- Connie (9/5): Will definitely be my first choice in my next trip to Penang - Location is great
Room is modern and comfortable.
- Louise (8/5): Very new and well maintained hotel, the bed is top range comfort, pillows are great, the hotel is pleasant and I would r - Very quiet and private yet it is close to so many amenities, best part is the buggy shuttle service between the two G hotels and Gurney Plaza, made the commuting much more convenient. Waking up In the morning to the sound of a symphony of your neighbour closing their doors. Also the toilet door is not 100% sealed as there are quite a bit of light coming through in the night when I left the toilet light on (as I was traveling with an elderly) but with the door closed.

- Vanessa (10/5): Amazing service from the front desk, allowing us to check in early and check out late which was a godsend while travelli - The hotel is located between 2 large malls, Gurney plaza and Gurney Paragon. Made our stay with our 5 month old baby very convenient, being able to pop out and then back to the hotel room in a few minutes. Room was spacious, air con was strong, everything new and clean. Great service and attentiveness from the staff. We look forward to staying here again Nothing, everything was perfect

- Gilbert (10/5): -
- Jeffrey (9/5): Wonderful stay - Modern, nice amenities, great location, efficient staff
- Paulina (10/5): - Lovely hotel, great room, fantastic breakfast, pool was amazing, perfect location. There is no drink service by the pool until 5 o’clock in the afternoon. (Alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.)
- Marc (5/5): war ok, aber würde nicht erneut dort buchen - Zimmer und Hotel waren ok Preis Leistungsverhältnis passt nicht. Zimmer in die Jahre gekommen, Frühstück ok (Kaffeemaschine bzw. Kaffee zu bekommen, dauert ewig/falls möglich) Pool und Aussicht ok, aber Musik „vor allem Abends - Live Musik“ viel zu laut / Konzert Style.
- Danilo (10/5): -
- Kelly (8/5): - Location was the most important consideration.
The hotel fulfilled all our requests. Pricing was high for the time of year.
- StevoM495 (8/5): Nice place to stay and always helpful - The hotel is nice and the staff is great. They attend to my requests really quickly. They come in pairs as well to assist and ensure safety is prioritized.
There are not enough hooks or hanger in the toilet. Makes hanging 2 person's towel and clothes difficult. Also, the drainage and sink flows very slowly. There isn't a business center here for hotel guest. There is this Workzspace but the staff at the front desk is not able to advise me how to use it. They ask me to call the number on the door but nobody picks up. But they did provide alternative like where in the hotel I could go to quietly take a business call conference.
- Bingqing WONG (10/5): -
- 171JanetW (10/5): Excellent hotel - We had a great 3 nights here the hotel was very clean and our room was huge with a lovely bathroom and great views. The breakfast choice was excellent. The rooftop pool was stunning and we enjoyed drinks at the pool bar in the evening. The bartender Jordy was so friendly and professional. Our only regret was the distance to the heritage part of George Town meant a taxi each time we would have preferred to be nearer

- GelatoBrothers (10/5): Great stay - convenient to the malls and walking to historic areas. - We moved from our Airbnb that was not well laid out in the heritage section of town to this hotel during our visit. It was a great upgrade. Great showers and bath, and spacious rooms. Service was excellent. Highly recommended by these American travelers.
- MrRichard59 (10/5): Great Place to Stay in George Town Penang - Fantastic hotel..... I stayed for 3 weeks in January, and it is such a complete experience. Breakfast: amazing variety. Room is comfortable, large walk-in shower, bed is massive! Roof-top bar and pool, perfect for relaxing outdoors in the evening. Hotel staff very professional, helpful, welcoming. Great proximity to two shopping malls (within 3 minute walk), also great for food outlets: Din Tai Fung my favourite. I highly recommend.
- moses (10/5): - everything nothing
- jmccaughan2026 (10/5): GREAT SERVICE! - From the time that icecream was handed to me at check in, this hotel delighted me. The staff were always at the ready. From the front doorman who was forever helpful, to the fun golfbuggy ride to the mall, the wonderfully spacious premium room, the extra comfy beds, and the great housekeeping services....the list goes on.
Location is fantastic.
A must stay experience!

- Benjamin Daniel (10/5): - Staff were fantastic the hotel clementines was exceptional complementary mini bar,,buggy to go to the front 24hours when ever you needed it,,but I left my passport in the safe was half way to Kuala Lumpur when the hotel rang me to say they had it safe and sound and within two days they had delivered it by DHL to my home house best hotel I’ve stayed in south east Asia in 13 years will be back again soon
- Emilia (10/5): - Lokasi strategis,staff ramah -
- MGD150 (6/5): Slamming doors - The positives ... spacious room, comfortable bed, staff are very nice, and there are two malls right next door (Holy Guacamole is a great place for dinner). The big negative is the noise from doors slamming closed - this seems to be a combination of guests (large family groups visiting each other's rooms) and staff. The door slamming is frequent and it is loud (so loud that you can hear the doors slamming on floors other than your own).
- Kishor (9/5): Spacious and comfortable and the staff very friendly and obliging - Very comfortable The sliding door on cupboards kept coming off rails
- Alan (10/5): -
- LI (9/5): We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return. - My husband and I stayed here during our holiday in Penang. The hotel is perfectly located between Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon, just a 2–3 minute walk.
The room was clean and well maintained, with complimentary bottled water and snacks provided daily. We really appreciated the early check-in and the high-floor City View room, which even offered a distant view of Kek Lok Si Temple.
Breakfast, gym, and swimming pool were all very good.
- radenwijaya2024 (10/5): Excellent People at G Hotel Kelawai - The facility is already a guarantee for a comfortable stay during Penang trip, but the people the staff there are the one who made it wonderful and memorable, from the gentlemen at the driveway the minute we got off the car, the concierge, the receptionist, to the housekeeping crews. Eveyone was exceptional.
- Franck (9/5): -
- Alan (10/5): Lovely hotel in a good location - Lovely hotel in a nice position. Clean and very well presented. Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel has a lovely pool and roof bar with music on some evenings. Breakfast very good also. There is also a mall next to the hotel which has very good shopping and a good selection of cafes, bars and restaurants. Highly recommended. Nothing.
- Andrew (9/5): -
- Cristof (9/5): Ein super Hotel für einen Aufenthalt in Penang - Besonders hat uns die Freundlichkeit des Personals, das Frühstück und das wirklich tolle Zimmer gefallen. Auch die Rooftop Bar und der Pool waren außergewöhnlich schön.
- adelinen529 (10/5): G for good - Good location. Super clean. Most of the staff are really friendly and helpful especially housekeeping and front desk.
- Sylvia (9/5): -
- Lily_Foong (10/5): Relaxing and Comfortable City Stay! - We spend 6 days and 5 nights at the G Hotel Kelawai and enjoyed our stay throughout the week. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was great to be able to explore the facilities at the sister hotel, G Hotel Gurney as well. The location is convenient, being walking distance between Gurney Plaza and Paragon which provides ample food options throughout the stay. Both hotel bars are also a must visit!
- Tiffany_Hun (10/5): Highly recommended stay! - It’s located right next to gurney plaza which makes it easier for us to eat and shop! It has a lovely pool, room was spacious and staffs were are friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was pleasant too. Love that parking is available too! Would definitely come back again for our next trip.

- bmclo (10/5): Comfortable Stay - The Hotel is in a safe and convenient location, Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon are nearby within a couple of minute walk. The room is spacious and clean, and staff are friendly and helpful. We stayed for 6 nights and were very happy with it. Highly recommended.
- Maryalor (8/5): Exceptional location. Good services. - Everything was very good.
Located in the middle of two great shopping malls.
Staff were very polite, helpful, always greet you with smile.
Just had one experience that's not good for us. On our last day we had our early flight, we went to have our breakfast at 0605h, unfortunately the staff there ignore us and made us wait (at the waiting area) We were in a hurry so we can catch up our flight. We went downstairs to the reception and the manager helped us go through to dine. It was meant to be open at 0600. I also recommended to set the temperature of the aircondition in the dining room to be in a normal temperature. It was too cold that all the hot food were easily get cold as soon as it reach the table.
Otherwise, our trip was very good. We will be coming back and still recommend your premises to our friends and families. Thank you
