G Hotel, Penang

I visited G Hotel last weekend and noted they have lots of funny funny chairs in their lobby. First impression that I have from the hotel was, geee... this hotel is so modern. Modern in a sense that their basins in their washroom unlike those typical basins. Unfortunately I do not have a chance to snap a few of that.

If you have a chance do check it out, ya?

The lobby and their lounge is all located at the ground floor. And, it's divided by this nice design and unique separator.


Look at the chairs that place in the lobby, isn't it nice?

This G Hotel Superior Room.

This is Mandarin Oriental Deluxe Room.

Oh ya, take a look at their superior room... their superior room is even bigger than Mandarin Oriental Deluxe Room. I also got to know from some friends that the hotel is not user friendly, for example when the guest arrived at the lobby, they do not greet the guest, and they do not face the guest by opening their car door. This is something I don't think Penang Hotels have such hospitality attitude.

Another complaint was, the LAN is underneath the working desk and you would have to collect the validation password from the reception counter. Don't you find this troublesome? They do not provide the LAN cable you have to bring your own. My friend has find this troublesome, un-user friendly.

Apart from that, the hotel is actually located next to a shopping mall, Gurney Plaza, where you will see lots of shoppers walk in to the hotel, take a look and also utilize their washroom. You will tend to see lots of youngsters, school children during weekends, after schools and school holiday.

Have I brought up the swimming pool?? No, huh?

Do you still feel like having a swim? The construction site is actually Gurney Plaza Phase II constructure where they planned to expand their wings to fulfill the local shopping needs.

Anyway, for those that like to stay next to a shopping mall and a sea facing hotel, with cheaper rate, perhaps this is the hotel for you.
