Big and beautiful room with sea view. Everything looks new and functional. We stayed 3 nights here. Really enjoy our stay. Location is a bit far from George Town, but we travel with Grab cars at affordable prices.

Well recommended: convenient to gurney plaza mall. By grab less than 10rm. Receptionist is polite and efficient. Bar staff are friendly and polite. Room is big, clean, spacious. Our room leaked aircon water badly on the first night. They immediately, like we didn’t even have 5 mins to pack up, came to apologise, carry our luggage and upgraded our room. This service is unbeatable. Pool is big, nice and a hit with the kids. Kids room is small but functional. Made friends with a local on staycay. She suggested going the Top Komtar. We did: the view and walk is superb. Staff are friendly and polite. They made sure not to touch girls / get a female instructor, even for my little 5yo girl. Thanks to them for being so professional. Price quite worth it. Expect to spend 2-4hrs if getting the entire package to play. She said no need go downtown Georgetown for Penang chendol. Gurney plaza 4th floor food court has the exact same one. She also mentioned going Song Garden to eat, but we didn’t try. Think it’s an outdoor food court area style. Sells durians there too. She says watch your bags if going out on Georgetown streets. A lot of pickpockets. Best to skip it. We also went gurney drive food.. think we ordered wrong stalls ahh.. not very nice all the food we had. Should have done more research haha. They also charged us 200rm cos we broke the hair dryer tip omg.. I could have gone to jb with that price. Our fault I know but some sg hotels gave us a chance and didn’t charge when we broke glass cup and even showed concern whether we stepped on it. Bye bye 200..
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your detailed review! We're pleased you enjoyed our convenient location, friendly and efficient staff, and spacious, clean rooms.

Room space is big enough and good location which is located at gurney drive. Breakfast variety is nice and besides hotel breakfast can opt for other cafe choices which is just next to hotel and there’s plenty of choice for restaurants and convenience store as well. However no mineral water bottle in room as they go green, and drinking tap is provided in the room.
Response from Property: Dear Ng, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the spaciousness of your room and appreciated our convenient location on Gurney Drive.It's great to know that you found our breakfast variety enjoyable and appreciated the option to explore other nearby cafes for breakfast.

Very nice hotel, very clean, the room I stayed in had a mini kitchen. Bathroom was spacious and clean. Bed was comfy. Excellent room indeed. However the room smelled a bit fishy literally. And somehow I couldn’t find an electrical outlet in the bathroom or near the closet mirror so it was hard drying my hair far from the mirror. Aside from that and the fishy smelly room, everything was excellent.

Choose Ascott Gurney due to the rooftop infinity pool, and it doesn't disappoint, good size with great views. Room also has one of the best views in Gurney. Amenities will be perfect if only have sauna and jacuzzi/onsen. Location is walkable from the malls in Gurney, but on hot days it can be quite tough, through wide road and not too covered sidewalks. Breakfast buffet is quite huge, but I feel taste can still be improved for certain items. Bath amenities: shower gel, shampoo, smells really good and nice. Park in front of the hotel just recently opened and it adds an attraction to Gurney's visitors and also traffic, especially on weekends/public holidays.

Really nice and spacious rooms with a good location. HOWEVER, service staff at the check in was horrendous. Promised us a check in at 3:30 for our 3 rooms on the same floor but rooms were not even ready at 4:30. The front desk staff was also extremely rude and sarcastic when telling us that our rooms weren’t ready. Ruined our experience at the hotel to be honest.
Response from Property: Dear Zayden, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We deeply regret to hear about the disappointing experience you had during check-in. Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay and for the unacceptable behavior displayed by our front desk staff.We understand the importance of a smooth and efficient check-in process, and it's clear that we fell short of your expectations. Rest assured, we take your concerns seriously and will address them with our team to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.Your comfort and satisfaction are paramount to us, and we're truly sorry for any inconvenience or frustration this may have caused. We hope to still have the opportunity to welcome you back to the hotel for a much-improved service in future. Best regards, Serena Chau Assistant Residence Manager

Our experience at the hotel was extremely disappointing. We encountered bedbugs in our room, leading to bites. When I brought this up at the front desk, the attendant simply changed the sheets and, only upon my insistence, moved us to another room. Moreover, she denied the hotel's responsibility for the bedbugs. In our new room, we were dismayed to find hairs of various types on the bed. Exhausted, I refrained from requesting another change of rooms. I expected a meaningful resolution from the supervisor, but the following morning, all they offered was a complimentary lunch for two, with no genuine apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience and discomfort we experienced. The service was remarkably poor and unaccommodating.
