We had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Ascott Gurney Penang. The hotel offers great amenities, the rooms are comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is very welcoming and relaxing. One of the highlights of our stay was the excellent buffet breakfast with a wide variety of delicious food choices each morning. We would especially like to recognize Sity and Jensen at the restaurant. They truly went the extra mile to make sure we were well taken care of. Their warm hospitality, attentiveness, and dedication to their work really stood out. You can clearly see the pride they take in providing excellent service, even while working very hard during the busy breakfast hours. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay such an enjoyable experience. We would gladly stay here again when visiting Penang.

the hotel has a very good location, comfortable, clean, spacious room and tea kitchen. The room staff, the bathroom staff and the breakfast staff and the staff at the entrance are very nice and helpful. The reception is mixed, the quality of service depends a lot on the receptionist, in general a little more kindness would not hurt, it would greatly improve the overall image and atmosphere of the hotel.
