Check in was nice and smooth and they actually give our ice cream, as you wait for that one minute of checking in. which is a Very good idea as the weather is hot outside. The concierge was great too, soon as our cab arrives they come and help with our luggage then delivered to our room. That was a great help. Room was nice and clear give a feeling of welcome. The fridge in the room have a sticker telling one that the drinks is on the house, lot of hotel don't have that. If one needs to choose a hotel in Penang this is one of the hotel I strongly recommend.

Stylish , modern and comfortable. The room is clean , the design feels fresh and the staff were friendly. Loved the rooftop pool and the views from the gravity bar . Great location close to malls, eateries and tourist spots. For me this hotel is perfect for business trips and work travel not really a resort style place.

This hotel maintains a good management of G Hotel team but with a more affordable rate. It is still close to the two major shopping malls. The amenities were good and the rooms were nice. We truly enjoyed our stay.
