The Prestige Hotel Penang

The Prestige Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent
"What an impressive stay this was! Fahmi in particular was 11/10 on service. He looked after us from the minute we checked in till our final night with recommendations and helpful hints and tips. He was a pleasant smile every day when we got up and come back at night. Truely exemplary service at the hotel. Even to the point of asking the taxi driver to move the seat forward for my partners long legs in the back. Loved the water access in the room and convenience this gave us to be able to drink freely. Steamer and hairdryer in room. Welcome drink. Maybe a suggestion for a top sheet on the bed but otherwise truely 5 star hotel."
