5-Star Hotels in Penang, Malaysia

We had a wonderful stay at park royal. Special thanks to Rafli, Maisarah & Melissa ,they were friendly and patiently taking time to answer all of our questions since this is our 1st time staying here.. Their hospitality truly made our experience more enjoyable. The breakfast is outstanding with a lot of variety. It was definitely the best breakfast i ever had. The hotel also provide a cake for complimentary as requested via email before arriving for my friend. It was sweet & memorable gesture. Highly recommended & i would love to come again!

Always my prefer hotel whenever i go Penang. However the location is far away from street food so usually we will walk around city area & eat dinner only return to hotel as it's far from city area. Love this place because of the quiet and peaceful location & the hotel has a private beach side. It's kids friendly too as they have a kids pool area as well as kids clib room area. The room is spacious & the bed is facing seaview. Their breakfast buffet is amazing....lots of variety & delicious. Staff are all friendly too. Highly recommended.

Had always been contemplating whether or not to try G Hotel Kelawai. Bit the bullet and here's my review; Room is spacious and comfortable, bed is top notch. Free minibar (replenished daily) is a plus. Swimming pool is nice although a bit shallow, and Gravity is a nice place to chill at night with view overlooking the island and Bukit Bendera. Is it worth the money? Yes. Location? Perfect. It'd be hard to find another hotel in Penang that checks all my boxes, and this could be it.

We had a night stay with 3 rooms including breakfast. Check in is smooth and receptionist is friendly with smile. Kids had enjoyed the swimming pool. There’s just a few steps to walk out to the beach. Alongside has newly opened cafe and restaurant. Breakfast has variety of choices but you need to queue if you are going at peak hour after 9am. Yes, queueing is the most unbearable part. I have never encountered such experience before you need to queue and split table for having breakfast which kinda spoil of mood. Staffs easily get annoyed when you asked for help. Not sure if I am bias but the treatment seems like a bit different compared to the white. However, the food is the salvation and nasi lemak is the signature that you must try. Cleanliness is a big issue that need to be improved. Location is not really strategic if you wish to explore Georgetown and find nice local food. Overall, it’s an okay choice for us for this stay.

Brand new facility. Great breakfast with variety of choice, 10min to the airport which is a perfect choice for business traveller

Excellent stay. Gorgeous room offers privacy and fantastic sea views. Buffet breakfast with a good spread and best of all the staff was attentive and friendly. Efficient service throughout and the beautiful grounds were well maintained. A little dated but still a 5 star rating. A special mention for a special staff, Ms Revathy. Courteous, knowledgeable, helpful and genuine.

Excellent overall!First of all,the room is very spacious with sea view and there are two water taps. everything needed is provided!! Secondly,the air conditioner is very good and there is nothing to complain for the bathroom which the water pressure is pretty good. Thirdly, the facility is decent,the only thing that could be improved is the air conditioner of the gym room. The breakfast is good at last!! This is an excellent experience with reasonable price,will definitely come back again!!

Pro Location is super near to a very big mall which is Gurney Plaza, just walk less than 2min after exit hotel lobby Cleaniness are well maintained. Super friendly staff, feels welcome the moment u stepped in. I took the executive package which comes with free flow drinks, food, and also simple dinner and free flow alcohol in the evening. However if you are planning for food trip around Penang you might want to opt out this. Free parking, decent size swimming pool for children, great gym with lots of equipment but might be a bit cramp, great variety for breakfast buffet. They share facilities with nearby G Hotel Kelawei like swimming pool, gym and lounge. Besides Kelawei has a pool party which is free to play. They have a buggy to bring you there too. Cons I got a room with bad working AC. Took some time to get it done. I took the buffet dinner at 168 but not much choices and even though the theme is crab but the crab always gone the moment they refill and you need to wait min 10min till the next round. Would recommend to go outside for a better dinner.

All perfect from check in until check out. Nice room and very clean, staff friendly, facilities good. And many choice of breakfast and the taste so good. The most important many spot for taking picture because the resort so nice.

Surprised by how clean it was despite being an old hotel in the area. I am overall satisfied with the hotel and my room, especially the cleanliness of the toilet and tub area. If I have to be really fussy and pin point a thing I did not like, it would be that the blanket is slightly thinner than I would normally prefer a hotel blanket to me. However, this is just my very fussy side speaking. Overall, I would give this hotel a 4.9 out of 5. I had booked a room with breakfast during my two days there for a workshop. Both days are somewhat the same, food was decent. The workshop provided lunch which led me to again dining in the lunch buffet section, overall it was pleasant. I like it that the hotel provided a variety of Penang food over the two days. My fav was the rojak which I took a photo here haha! Hub enjoyed the pool and hot & cold pool (sadly the sauna was under maintenance). Before I checked out, I also happened to be part of the Penang heritage launch ceremony. So, I got to see some of the really beautiful art work and nyonya clothing items on sale at the pop up stalls at the lobby too. The hotel also was serving nutmeg juice and Penang famous snack 豆沙饼. I must mention too, that I got a sea view room which allowed me to see the extension project by MBPP. There was a very happening and lovely park opposite the hotel just minutes walk away. I couldn’t help to bring myself over and was really happy to experience the joy of the families enjoying the facilities there. Huge slide, lots of climbing equipment and a very decent skatepark! Running track was very nice too! You must check it out if you’re in Penang! It was overall a pleasant stay in all.
