You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when staying in Downtown George Town. Gurney Drive is a good place to kick off here, but there are many other interesting attractions to visit. Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang Hill, and Pinang Peranakan Mansion are not far from the waterside pathway and will top off your day nicely.

8.6/10 Excellent! (342 reviews)
This property is looking fairly tired. We had a superior room with incredible views and lovely high ceilings, so the room was spacious and easy to relax in. It is, however, in need of some maintenance - chipped laminate, water damaged skirtings etc. The staff are exceptional, very friendly and helpful, super respectful. There was one waiter in particular we would like to give a shoutout to - my apologies for misspelling his name, which I believe is Jhorarule - he was absolutely lovely; even if he wasn’t serving us himself, he would come over and say hello and make sure we were okay. It was the staff who really made our stay so much better.
