#favouriteitinerary Nestled along the iconic Gurney Drive in Penang, Gurney Bay Hotel, A PARKROYAL Hotel, is a delightful blend of modern comfort and coastal charm. Just steps from the bustling promenade, this 368-room retreat offers stunning ocean or Penang Hill views, promising a serene escape. Recently rebranded under Pan Pacific Hotels Group since September 2024, it’s undergoing a glow-up with renovations to elevate the experience. With international cuisine at The Café, a relaxing Lobby Lounge, and top-notch facilities like a pool and gym, it’s a perfect base to explore Penang’s vibrant culture and food scene. Hey there, fellow travelers! I just got back from a stay at Gurney Bay Hotel in Penang, and wow, what a spot! From the moment I walked into the grand lobby, I felt that laid-back luxury vibe. My room? Spacious, clean, and that view of the ocean was pure magic—perfect for sipping coffee and watching the sunrise. The staff were super friendly, always greeting me with smiles and helpful tips. I loved chilling by the pool (though it was under maintenance during my visit—bummer!), and the gym was solid for a quick workout. The Café’s breakfast spread was a tasty mix of Western and Asian goodies—those fresh apples daily were a nice touch! Location-wise, it’s a winner. Gurney Drive’s hawker stalls are just a stroll away, and I couldn’t resist the seafood at nearby spots like Bali Hai. The only hiccup? The Wi-Fi was a bit spotty, and the decor felt slightly dated in places. But honestly, with the ongoing renovations, I bet it’ll be even better soon. If you’re after a comfy stay with easy access to Penang’s charm, this place is a vibe. Can’t wait to return once the upgrades are done! #GurneyBayHotel #PenangTravel #HotelReview #GurneyDrive #PARKROYALHotel #PenangVibes #CoastalEscape #TravelPenang #HotelStay #MalaysiaAdventures

Good and affordable stay. hotel is refurbished so carpet floor, door and sharp Aquos TV are old. aircon is also old and has continuous sound throughout the night, no issue for me as I am heavy sleeper. Power socket require three pin and is not beside bed, no USB charging as well. bathroom is new and spacious but has a lot of excess space beside the toilet bowl which is likely a space for showering section before renovate. walkable distance to gurney shopping district but it’s around 10-15mins along a road with heavy traffic have to be careful when the road becomes narrow. Booked a grab pick up from gurney hawker but have to cancel it due to heavy traffic and it’s faster to get back by walking. Not located in Georgetown but can grab over between RM7 to RM19 depends on traffic. Or can cross the road to take bus 101 which is often packed. Gurney bay is under construction of new Westin hotel, has a section of the park that is still opened. #gurneybay
