As an ex-Penangite returning for holidays in April 2012, was very impressed with the service and standard of G Hotel. From the spacious lobby that is so chic and classy,to the little things like complimentary ice-cream upon arrival, beautiful toiletries and generous different varieties of can drinks supplied free daily to the guest in the room fridge, it truly makes...

Upon arriving, our cab driver informed us that the G Hotel was a hotel that catered mostly to business people - but that is not what we found at all. The lobby was really beautiful and interesting and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was large - the bed was HUGE. There is an infinity pool that... More

I travelled to Penang and stayed in G Hotel with my family. The service at check in was not the best, they had problems in finding my reservation without my providing a reservation number. The rooms are a bit tired and sad. The location was probably great previously, but now the beach in front of the hotel has disappeared. It's... More

Stayed here for 1 week on a business trip. I've stayed at the Evergreen and Equatorial hotels on prior trips and I liked the "g" the best. The "g" has the best location - right on the water on Gurney drive, right next door to 2 malls, and right next to the Haka outdoor food court. The Equatorial hotel may... More

My wife and I visited Penang back in 2009 and stayed at G Hotel. We had a great experience last time and decided to give it another try during our recent stay on the 29th of April. Turns out it was the right decision and this trip was a testament that this is THE hotel to stay if you are... More

I spent 4 nights at G hotel this week, attending a business event. Food at the restaurants were top-notch. Service from front desk and the F&B folk were also excellent. In fact we had an after-party at the lobby lounge and they reopened the bar 3 times to make sure we had enough drinks. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. I... More

We were hoping that this rather large and nice upscale hotel would help us have a great experience in Penang. Unfortunately the service was horrible. Like several other reviewers mentioned, the check-in process takes much longer than it should. Rooms that are adjoined are not insulated. So if your neighboring room includes a crying baby, as did ours, then it... More

It was nice to provide complimentary snacks or sweets to guests only without ants on them. While I was tracing the ant trail I found that water started dripping down from the AC vents near the ceiling. I needed to remove my luggage to other place (the space for setting down luggage was right under the vents) because there were... More

Stayed here for 3 nights. Very good choice. Location was great, next to shopping mall. For overseas travelers, malaysia is the cheapest place to watch movies and we do that as much as we can when we go...other than eating, of course!
