MalaysiaGreat scenic design fusion of asian and british. Our room facing the ocean which my husband even slept at the coridor just by listening to it. Love love love the room so much. And hotel prepares complimentary birthday cake for my husband, that is very thoughtful of them. High praise for the hotel
MalaysiaI had a 50th birthday party celebration and arrived for a weekend. Loved my sea view room, amazing bathroom tub and the hairdresser salon did an amazing hairstyle for my party. I arrived by myself usually I travel with my family but I thing this place will suit a family as they pools are amazing. Usually we stay in Rasa Sayang in Batu Feringue as it has nature and beach access.
United KingdomThis is my first time staying at georgetown area. Usually when we go to penang, we will book ferringhi area, so we want to change up a bit. The location of the hotel is very near to all the food places that we want to go. Very convenient. If we dont want to drive, we can easily book grab to go sight seeing. The hotel is so nice and great.
MalaysiaWe loved our room with the sea fronting balcony. The staff were excellent- very polite and friendly. We needed a birthday to be made within two hours and they actually managed to do it !
MalaysiaWe loved the view, the space and the privacy of our room. The swimming pool and the grounds were lovely.
United KingdomA beautiful hotel, well maintained and impeccable service. Great hospitality from Lini and team from the Cornwallis Lounge
MalaysiaFront desk manager excellent care and pack for us take away breakfast due to our early check out. Appreciate!!!
MalaysiaI just love the hotel location which located in town. Near to go to attraction places. The thing I only not enjoyed is the breakfast is not served buffet. Probably due to covid19, they need to follow SOP. However, overall my staycation was good!
