Trip.com A Wedding Gift Made More Special by the Reservation Team I arranged this stay as a wedding gift for a newlywed couple. PARKROYAL Penang Resort holds very special memories for me. I previously celebrated my wife’s birthday here with the newlywed couple, and my son still remembers his experiences at the kids’ pool and kids’ club. Because of those wonderful memories, the newlywed couple themselves chose this resort for their stay to celebrate the beginning of their marriage. I personally contacted the Reservation Team by email with a simple request for a few thoughtful touches to make their stay more memorable. My sincere thanks to Reservation Manager Ms Leow Lee Fong for arranging the thoughtful touches, including a stalk of flowers, pralines and a beautiful swan towel arrangement in the room. My appreciation also goes to Reservation Supervisor Ms Nurul Hazwani and Ms Maniarasiy for their assistance in coordinating the arrangements. A special thank you to the receptionist for making their arrival smooth and welcoming, and to Mr Faris from the Bell Team for his kindness and assistance. The flowers planned for their arrival could not be provided as arranged, but I completely understand that such things can happen when arrangements involve different teams. There was no issue from my side, and I truly appreciated the team’s effort to make their stay special in other ways. Thank you also to the Housekeeping Team for preparing the room and having it ready when the couple arrived at around 2.30 pm. The couple shared that the room was clean and comfortable, with an unobstructed sea view that made their stay even more enjoyable. From my own experiences with PARKROYAL, both in Penang and at other destinations, I have always found the service genuinely warm and welcoming. In my opinion, PARKROYAL Penang Resort is a wonderful choice for special occasions and stays, with a beautiful resort setting, lovely sea views, good swimming pools for both adults and children, enjoyable food and an excellent breakfast. Once again, my sincere appreciation to Ms Leow Lee Fong, Ms Nurul Hazwani, Ms Maniarasiy, Mr Faris and everyone working behind the scenes. Thank you for your kindness, attention and effort in helping make this wedding gift a more memorable experience for the newlywed couple.

My husband and I took a leisurely stroll along the beach at Laoshu Park, enjoying the romantic sunset. 🏖️ We then relaxed on beach chairs, listening to the soothing sound of the waves. 🥰 The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly, and the food was delicious. This is a great place to relax, and we look forward to visiting again! 👍

We had a very pleasant stay at Crowne Plaza Penang Straits City. The hotel is modern, clean and comfortable, with well-maintained facilities and a relaxing atmosphere. The room was spacious, beautifully designed and very comfortable, making our stay truly enjoyable. The staff were friendly, courteous and helpful throughout our stay. The service was efficient and professional, and we felt genuinely welcomed. We also enjoyed the hotel facilities and the overall ambience. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a great place to stay in Penang. We would definitely consider staying here again and would happily recommend this hotel to family and friends.

I had an excellent stay at G Hotel Gurney in the Executive Suite. The suite was spacious, modern, and beautifully maintained, with a comfortable bed and a great view. It was the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring Penang. The hotel’s location is fantastic, right next to Gurney Plaza and within walking distance of many popular eateries. The staff were professional, friendly, and always willing to assist, making the entire stay even more enjoyable. The Executive Lounge was a great addition, offering a quiet and comfortable space to unwind with complimentary refreshments. Breakfast was also excellent, with a wide selection of local and international dishes. Overall, everything from the room quality to the service exceeded my expectations. I would definitely choose G Hotel Gurney again on my next visit to Penang and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and luxurious stay.

The room was absolutely beautiful, with a spacious bathroom and a bathtub. The pool was huge, and everything about this place was amazing. There were also plenty of mirrors in the room, which I loved. Definitely a place I’d come back to again.

This is a guesthouse-style hotel with complete facilities, including a washer-dryer combo, refrigerator, kitchenware, microwave, and a water dispenser with both hot and cold purified water, which is very convenient. There's a pool and gym on the top floor, and a convenience store downstairs, making it ideal for long stays. However, for short stays, it might be less convenient as there are no disposable toothbrushes, and the toiletries provided are quite basic. The cleanliness could also be better. When we first checked in, our room on the 28th floor had a slight smell of new renovation. We switched to the 20th floor the next day, and it was much better. I assume the lower floors were renovated earlier and thus have less of an odor. Overall, I highly recommend it; it offers great value for money. 👍🏾

My stay here was very satisfying. The hotel's location is excellent, close to all the attractions in the Old Town, making dining and shopping very convenient. I stayed in the Heritage Wing, which has historical artifacts on display in the common areas, perfect for a quick browse if you're interested. The staff were friendly and responsive, providing daily newspapers and updating the mini-bar. The breakfast is made-to-order, and while the selection isn't huge, it's served piping hot, which is a big plus. They also offer complimentary afternoon tea and evening cocktails. The only downside was a strange noise in the room at night, and the soundproofing between floors wasn't great. If that's a concern for you, perhaps try the new building; I haven't stayed there, so I can't comment.
