Racecation In Penang

Review of G Hotel Gurney
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 20 Oct 2019via mobile
The location of the Hotel is on the high end street of Penang Island with 2 major shopping centres Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon with lots of shopping, F&B and entertainment choices to choose from.

If you are feeling hungry but in need of a local food fix; Glutton square food night market is just a walk away.

The hotel rooms are big and spacious, beautiful view of the East Indian Ocean but the sound proofing of the room is not that good. I could hear clearly the varoom varoom of the high power motorcycle in the middle of the night even I am in at the 8 floor of the hotel room.

Has stayed in G hotel Gurney on many occasions. Clean and comfortable room, good service, nice breakfast, executive lounge is great too! Walking distance to 2 big shopping malls. So far it’s all good except this time. I was assigned room 1405 and it’s the worst stay. 1405 is one floor below the executive lounge so every morning from 6am onwards I can hear footsteps walking to and forth from the ceiling of the room. Unless you are a morning person who wake up at 6am or someone who sleep deeply, please avoid this room. I didn’t have a good sleep and after calling the reception to feedback, nothing is being done. So the footsteps continued the whole morning. Overall sound proofing is good for the other stays except for this time.

I have experienced staying in the hotel twice! And both are beyond expectation. They say you pay for what you get and that is what G Hotel is all about.

Warm friendly staff (Although there was one doorman who was teasing me in Bahasa thinking I didnt understand the language, I am a Malaysian)
Room is super nice
Bed is super comfy
Breakfast is amazing
Everything is amazing'

So no complaints except that doorman should keep his comments to himself.

I like how the staff were attentive and helpful. Kudos to Mavrick (unique spelling there) for being outstanding in his service. The same could be said of the other staff. Only gripe is the facilities need more improvement. The light switches in the room are confusing. Took us a while to figure it all out. There could have been more cupboard shelves available outside the bathroom too (room 1806). Hot water in the shower was not stable too. Oscillates from scalding hot to icy cold.

Still, despite these minor inconveniences, hubby and I agree it's a value for money stay. And the warmth of the staff made the experience more pleasant. Would definitely come back again. Hopefully the water issue would be fixed then.

G hotel overcharged my stay from my credit card. The blling is confusing. Service in the front desk is bad, no greeting and no proactively communication. Staffs at the font desk are lack of hospitality experience.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for staying at G Hotel Gurney and sharing your experience on TripAdvisor.

It was disappointing to read that this was a less than satisfactory stay. The areas you have highlighted, in particular the lack of attentive services by Reception Team is certainly alarming and goes against everything we consistently strive for. I sincerely apologize for this and can assure you; proactive measures have been put in place to ensure this does not occur in the future.

In regards to your billing issue – I have reviewed the matter and would like to highlight that as per Malaysian Government agencies, the Tourism Tax must be collected separately from the room rate – we do apologize for any confusion.

Once again, thank you for bring this matter to my attention and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future to show our commitment of service excellence.

Kind regards
