St. Giles Wembley Penang

My first time staying here in St. Giles Wembley Penang. The location is great. Rooms are ok. Breakfast is good.

Wife and I started developing rashes after day 1. We don’t think it’s bed bugs but the bed sheets may not have been cleaned thoroughly. Hotel environment was overall okay.

For a 4-star hotel, the room interior and amenities don’t really look like a 4-star hotel. But the price and location are quite reasonable. The bed is comfortable, the hotel breakfast is very nice, and the service is good.

I had an excellent stay at St Giles Wembley. The hotel was super clean, and everything was well-maintained. I experienced no issues during my stay, and the service was smooth and hassle-free. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others and look forward to staying here again! Psst.. this is my 3rd times staycation here

St Giles Wembly is a great hotel to stay in. I stayed for 3 nights and it felt like home. Sheets and bed were soft and comfortable, floor and furnishing were kept clean after housekeeping cleaned, and the lifts come really quickly. I also loved how the front desk and the staffs were always very welcoming and warm, making every interaction like speaking to a friend. While the hotel looked old, furnishings are very well maintained. For instance, the ventilation in the toilet was so good that the floor dries after a few hours. My only gripe is that while the water pressure is strong, the hot water doesn't come immediately, instead it takes a good 5 mins of running water before I get some form of warm / lukewarm water. The waiting time does get longer after midnight, where the water is just ice cold. Weirdly, the bath tub water gets warm faster than the shower? Which was kind of weird. I also had the opportunity to try the breakfast buffet. While I saw plenty of reviews commending that the breakfast is good, I believe it was sufficient for a local taste, and provided enough quantity. However, the buffet setup was quite cramp and unevenly spaced. The hotel also hosts a bar on the roof, which had a nice view of the city. I ordered a Guinness Stout and got the server to pour for me. I ended up getting a flat stout 🫠🫠🫠. Nevertheless, my stay at St Giles has been great, and I would love to return in the near future.

Parking is convenient and immediately leave the parking place without need of verification at counter. View is superb with City view and Penang Bridge. Plus point is the swimming pool with Komtar view. Staff is helpful and always with smile serving your needs.
