We had two nights at this property. Hotel has free parking. Hotel is nice and staffs are very friendly. Room 1514 seaview was spacious and clean and located 30minutes walk to Gurvey hawker centre. The nearest supermarket is in Gurney Paragon and Gurvey Plaza about 20mins walk. There is Gurney Walk next to this hotel but no supermarket to buy fruits.
It was alright for us as we drove around and the view was my main attraction.

Our company organized a team trip to Penang and chose George Crest as our accommodation—and it turned out to be a great choice. The hotel provided a comfortable and stylish setting that worked well for both rest and informal team bonding.
Rooms were clean, modern, and well-equipped with everything we needed after long days of team activities and exploring the city. The ambiance of the hotel struck a nice balance between heritage charm and modern design, which everyone appreciated.
The staff’s customer service was professional and attentive throughout our stay. They made check-ins smooth, assisted with local recommendations, and ensured our group’s needs were met efficiently.

Location is super near to a very big mall which is Gurney Plaza, just walk less than 2min after exit hotel lobby
Cleaniness are well maintained. Super friendly staff, feels welcome the moment u stepped in.
I took the executive package which comes with free flow drinks, food, and also simple dinner and free flow alcohol in the evening. However if you are planning for food trip around Penang you might want to opt out this.
Free parking, decent size swimming pool for children, great gym with lots of equipment but might be a bit cramp, great variety for breakfast buffet.
They share facilities with nearby G Hotel Kelawei like swimming pool, gym and lounge. Besides Kelawei has a pool party which is free to play. They have a buggy to bring you there too.
Cons
I got a room with bad working AC. Took some time to get it done.
I took the buffet dinner at 168 but not much choices and even though the theme is crab but the crab always gone the moment they refill and you need to wait min 10min till the next round. Would recommend to go outside for a better dinner.

Best hotel!!!!
The hotel is superb! Very clean and tidy from the entrance to the rooms.
The room was sparkling clean, the cleanest room I’ve ever stayed in (cleaner than other well known 5 star hotel brands). The floors were spotless and the bathroom looked brand new.
There is also a mini kitchen in the room with a microwave, kettle, fridge, sink and four person dining table. The kitchen facilities are spotless.
The dressing area and walk-in wardrobe make it easy to unpack and there is also an iron and ironing board provided.
Great breakfast with lots of choice.
The hotel is new but the staff are all knowledgable and helpful, with impeccable service.
The best hotel of my trip, I would love to stay here again!

First time staying at the Grand Ol Dame of Penang, celebrating its 140th anniversary. Stayed for 2 nights and the experience was great. Room was spacious and comfortable, facing the sea and you wake up to the sounds of crashing waves. Service was excellent. Breakfast was great, with cook-to-order char koay teow and roti canai, in addition to the standard eggs station. Hotel location was strategic, with plenty of food options a simple Grab ride away. The only thing lacking was the TV, coffee machine and fridge in the room, all of which could use an upgrade.

CChung For CindyExtraordinary location. Professional and friendly staff. Clean and comfortable room with full set of kitchenware and appliances, including detergent pods for washer and dishwasher.
HHidudeDefinitely the best hotel in Penang🔥🔥🔥
I spent a very nice night here. The staff here were very helpful. They always smiled and chatted with me in a friendly way. I came a little early on the day of check-in. Not only did the staff not refuse my early check-in, they also upgraded me to a super spacious room with very retro furnishings and a large bathroom with two sinks! I was very pleasantly surprised by all this!
The public area decoration of the hotel is also very casual and suitable for checking in. I personally think it is much better to take pictures than the Nyonya Museum in Penang. If you don’t like to clock in, you can also stay at the dining table in the public space to dine while admiring the scenery of the hotel.
The breakfast in the hotel is also very delicious. I had a big breakfast, which was very filling. There were also some breads and cereals to choose from. The breakfast lounge is a Chinese-style space, and there are fans to keep you cool. The whole breakfast is satisfying and comfortable.
When I left, I asked the staff to store my luggage for me until the evening, and they readily agreed. I am very grateful that they were willing to store my luggage for me even after checking out. I am very grateful. The experience of staying here is first-class. It gave me a very good memory in Penang. If I have the opportunity to visit Penang again, this place will definitely be my best choice!
