Top Wat Buppharam Hotel Reviews

OZO George Town Penang

10/10 Excellent

"We had the double superior room which was perfect for a teenager and adults. The door between could be closed, if needed. Good location, good sized rooms. Check in was excellent, we were able to get in 3 hours early for a small additional cost. The rooftop pool was fantastic."

The Prestige Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a nice upscale hotel right next to Georgetown and in particular quick access to a large number of Michelin rated restaurants. It is also very close to a variety of historic sites that you can easily walk to. It has a lovely roof top infinity pool overlooking the straight. The hotel rooms are all super clean and well appointed and modern. The staff was always very helpful and got to know us by name. It is also far enough from the more touristy party centres so that you feel like you are visiting and not touring. We walked to other hotel areas to see if they might be better but we concluded that when we return to Penang, we will stay at the Prestige again."

Gurney Bay Hotel, A PARKROYAL PARTNER HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is clean, comfortable and convenient. Staff are professional and courteous and helpful. Cleaner is conscientious and responsive. Overall a very pleasant stay. Thank you!"

Tropicana 218 Macalister

8/10 Good

"The property itself was quiet. Didn't hear neighbours at all, but the area around the building is very noisy. There seemed to be a nightclub with loud music and singing every evening from about 7.30pm to 12 midnight. Not just weekends, every night. We were on the 26th floor and it was still easily heard in the room. Otherwise the room was OK. No reception desk, though."

JEN Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La

10/10 Excellent

"The place is nice and staffs are helpful. Love it. Recommended place to stay"

Penang Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"Feel very welcomed. Awesome staffs from front desk to breakfast room to housekeeping. TV and the kettle didn’t work on first night and they sent electrician the next morning to get it fixed. They also gave us a plate of fruits for our trouble. Small gestures but made us felt valued. Room was very nice, bed and pillows so comfortable and shower was wonderful. The gym was slightly underwhelming thought it would have more equipments. Breakfast was nice with lots of choices. Slightly disappointed with the location. I imagined it to be right in town with lots of shops and eating places but Gurney Drive was not what I remembered fifty years ago!!! Probably better off staying in the heritage area of George Town. But it is fairly easy to get Grab and reasonably priced too. Dont go to Bali Seafood nearby, it is expensive and mediocre, I don’t understand how it get Michelin award at all!!!"

Ascott Gurney Penang

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay!!"

Courtyard by Marriott Penang

"The check-in staff were not very friendly but all other staff were excellent. The breakfast is superb, the lunch and dinner menu is great. The pool is okay but lacks atmosphere as there is no service up there."
