This was not the first time for me to go to Penang, but it was the first for me to stay in the Gurney area. Indeed, the Evergreen is almost smack in the middle of the action - the water and the promenade was just in front, and it's surrounded by tall, modern and chic condominiums. The lobby is a... more

I wasn't expecting much as I know the better hotels are along the Batu Ferringhi stretch of beach. But surprise surprise, this turned out to be a very good hotel. In essence, it has everything one would need for a good stay. The rooms were quiet and spacious. There was a minibar with complimentary tea and coffee and space for... more

The key thing I demand from a hotel is a quiet night's sleep, and the Evergreen delivered - solid walls mean few disturbances. Quietest rooms are likely to be those at end walls - that's numbers ending 1, 4, 11, 14, 15, 18, 25 and 28. Maybe they would be fine but those ending 7, 8, 21 and 22 were... more

We were actually attending a wedding in Kedah but got bored so we took a cab to Penang, and made a walk-in reservation at the Evergreen Laurel. Thankfully there were two rooms available, although they were City View rooms. We spent two nights at this hotel, and it was comfortable. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel, but there's a... more

Bedding was very good and the beds very comfortable. Towels were big and fluffy and the room had slippers, bathrobes, and a safe. Complimentary fruit, bottled water,... more

First of all, thumbs up to the helpful staff. My reservation was strange, as I booked 2 nights through this hotel's website and 1 night though another website, same room type though. Initially they asked me to stay in 2 different rooms on 2 different floors, but after about 5-10 minutes of reasoning and clarification, we ended up getting a... more

Lovely hotel - very Chinese in a fun way. The locations great for Gurney hopping. The rooms are comfy with a nice bathroom. The staff are friendly and the band in the bar "Back 2 Back" are groovy - straight off "The Love Boat"... The Business Centre has the slowest internet known to man and the Fitness Centre has a... more

Checked in on 1 May 2009 and checked out on 3 May 2009. Swift checked in and out. This is more a business travellers' hotel. Has a nice compact small gym and a small but clean swimming pool on 2nd Floor. Have Japanese buffet dinner on Saturday, not much of variaties. Walking distance to Gurney Drive food court and three... more
