When i walk in hotel,I feel they are very friendly. Check in also fast, when i open room that is fresh & clean room, can see half seaview half cityview. The pillow very soft & whole night sleep very well. Not only that i like, I also like their shampoo like a orange /lemon smell. That is a good place for relax, opposite is a gurney bay park can go to walk around, if don't like walk there also have bicycles rental. Then nearby also have a feel Malay& Chinese restaurant. Morning breakfast have a lot of choosing, including roti canai, egg, rice, mee, porridge, salad, fruit, yoghurt,& dessert.

We had a wonderful stay at the Ascott. It was at a good location in Georgetown which was not too far from town and yet not too busy with the view of the ocean just in front of the hotel. Our room booking came with daily buffet breakfast which was the highlight of our stay despite Penang being a food haven. Overall, a great experience and we look forward to returning in the near future.

A bit of a let down for a 5 ⭐ facilities. Breakfast : 3/5 Bed : 1/5 (Very hard, had to ask the housekeeping to add on a topper) Facilities : 3/5 (a bit disappointed on the creaking sound of the door) Parking : 2/5 (basement parking is not stroller friendly) Kids room : 0/5 (there’s a smoking odour in the room maybe from the ventilation) Front desk : 1/5 (lack of professionalism, complain from 7am, attended at 8pm,the staff that help me checked in couldn’t speak in English properly and not even in Malay, very let down for a 5 ⭐) I will rate it as good value for money if it wasn’t a 5 star hotel for the overall amenities which are much more available than a normal boutique hotel. But overall not worth the price paid. Background, I am a heavy traveler and had more than 20 trips per year on hotel alone so I believe my opinion is justified knowing the differences. We even extend the trip by booking at their partner hotel (boutique) and had better experience in fact. Hope they can look into this😌 but I thanked the housekeeping and maintenance for attending to our needs 🩷

Room was big and clean. Hotel provides filtered water via a dispenser at the sink, which is great for travelers. Hotel was not able to provide late check-out and have rooms on the same floor. Quite disappointed by that.

Location is great, very clean, spacious rooms, huge varieties of breakfast, beautiful swimming pool The only thing I would comment is the extra bed, it is sunken in the middle, so it was very uncomfortable to sleep in. We didn’t ask for a change as at that time the hotel was very full and extra bed was very limited But we let the receptionist know when we checked out
