Overall hotel is very old and outdated. Housekeeping needs to improve on cleanliness. The first impression shows signs of aging. The guest toilet is another area which needs major touch up. When I entered to use I did not feel a hotel standard but more of a public facility. Kudos to the chef. Food is delicious. Towels and pillows and mattress need to change. Do not keep for the next generation. They have a lifespan. Rates have significally increased since my last visit but does not match with the product. Time for an upgrade and restore to her former glory days.

The front office staff was not polite . We paid for three nights but the receipt was written only for two . She distracted us by giving horrible rooms overlooking an apartment complex and also being nasty. When you have traveled for one whole day you need to front office to be polite and nice . Never pay cash . Always pay with your credit card as you have evidence of your payment. This was done to several others who came for the conference from different parts of the world . Management should take note of this as you will loose customers. Thank you

We had the very unfortunate experience of staying at the Berjaya Penang Hotel for 3 nights in August 2023. The room was undoubtedly the most unclean hotel room we have seen in any hotel anywhere in the world. The pillows were heavily stained, there was food remnants in the drawers, lampshades were stained with what looked like coffee or tea spillages, swatted insects still on the wall… and the level of dust in the room was unbelievable. We complained to the hotel reception on two occasions, but our complaints obviously ‘fell on deaf ears’… The hotel has 3 very small and slow lifts which try their best to service about 30 floors, however, they are nowhere near capable of providing an acceptable service.. waiting times were often in the region of 5 minutes.. totally unacceptable!! The location of the hotel isn’t great either, as it is situated within a mainly residential area. I’m trying, but struggling to find something good to say about this hotel.. So to end my review, I’d say that it provided a very very average breakfast service..

GOOD: - Vegetarian Breakfast Buffet - Location ROOM TO IMPROVE: - Elderly friendly (Inconvenient for elderly as you need to walk up the stairs from lobby to hotel) - There should be an outlet near bedside (For phone charging) - Room was smaller than expected. The toilet door was faulty.
