This hotel need some tender loving care. The list of things that were wrong and went wrong is fairly long. Door handles falling off, lights not working and lifts without lights to name a few. Took over 24 hours to get at least one one the lights fixed in my room and another wasn't even fixed during my 7 night... More

We certainly regret that Reviewer Malcolm T seems to have a number of problems in our Hotel. While we would like to thank him for pointing it out to us, it would have been better if he had reported it to us at that time so that it can be rectified. Our records show that one standing lamp was fixed... More

This hotel was formerly known as Berjaya Penang Hotel. The hotel takes up one of the two tower buildings joined by a podium block. There is a shopping center in the podium block which is quite dead with only a few shops operating and the other building looks unoccupied. We could also see a water park which has been closed...

We would like to thank MalaysianAged28 (MA28) for his very detailed review of our hotel facilities & amenities. We believe it does give other guests an idea of what to expect and what is available.

I have no doubt that in its day when the water park next door was operating and the mall next door was full of shops that this hotel would have deserved its four star rating. Our experience was to arrive at 1pm and be told rudely that check in was 3pm. We then asked another staff member about free WiFi... More

We truly regret all the inconveniences Clubjed went through during their stay with us. We hope Reviewer also understand the fact that some of the issues were due to some sort of miscommunication with trainees and foreign staff (eg. at check in time and about being asked to check out early). We also hope that Reviewer can see that most... More
