Our stay at Berjaya Penang Hotel was truly enjoyable. The hotel location is very strategic, with plenty of restaurants nearby, and it is conveniently situated right in the heart of the city. We were very satisfied with the Family Room. It was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our family of 4. The bed linens and duvet were clean, the beds were large and comfortable, the room had a beautiful view, and the bathroom was also very clean. The customer service was excellent. All the staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to fulfill all of my requests. Thank you Berjaya Penang Hotel for making our stay such a pleasant experience. Special thanks to all the wonderful staff!

This apartment provided a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly accommodating, allowing a late check out. The apartment itself was spotless, comfortable, and boasted spacious rooms. The view was breathtaking, and the location was perfect, with numerous dining options nearby. The fact that it's situated by the roadside ensured a safe and well-lit environment. Highly recommend! Will definitely come back again.

My mom and I enjoyed our stay in this hotel. The location is very strategic, close to Gleneagles where my mom had her MCU, close to Pulau Tikus market to enjoy the local breakfast, and very close to the beach park as well. The room is very clean; they do the housekeeping every day as long as you put the sign on the door knob. We will definitely try this hotel again when back to Penang.

Great stay at Wayton Cottage! The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more pleasant. The location is convenient, especially if you need to be near Penang Adventist Hospital, and there are also food options nearby. I also liked that the place has useful facilities such as a shared kitchen and drinking water. Overall, it was a comfortable and affordable place to stay in Penang. I would recommend Wayton Cottage for anyone looking for a simple, clean, and convenient accommodation.

More about hotels in Gurney Drive

Where to Stay on Gurney Drive

Gurney Drive is George Town's best-known beachfront strip — a curving coastal road in Penang lined with hotels, malls and, most famously, the Gurney Drive Hawker Centre, one of the island's biggest open-air food courts. It's less a heritage-quarter stay (that's George Town's UNESCO core, a short drive away) and more a comfortable, modern base with the sea on one side and Penang's food scene on the other.

The hawker centre

The Gurney Drive Hawker Centre sits right on the waterfront and has been named among the world's best streets for food by international travel media. Expect char kway teow, oyster omelette (or chien), rojak, satay, Hokkien mee and lok lok skewers from dozens of stalls — it's busier and pricier than hawker stalls elsewhere in Penang, but the range and the seafront setting are the draw.

Where to stay

G Hotel Gurney (on Gurney Drive itself) — a 5-star, 312-room hotel with the hawker centre practically on its doorstep, Penang's most recognisable modern hotel address.
Ascott Gurney Penang (Gurney Drive, George Town) — serviced residences with full kitchens and an infinity pool, aimed at longer stays and families who want space to self-cater.
Wangs Hotel Gurney Drive — a straightforward budget option on the same strip, for travellers who'd rather spend on food than on the room.

What Gurney Drive is known for

Food, first and foremost — it's one of the most concentrated hawker experiences in Penang. Beyond the hawker centre, the strip has Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon malls for shopping, a seafront promenade for an evening walk, and easy access (10-15 minutes by car) to George Town's UNESCO World Heritage core if you want street art and colonial architecture on top of the food.

Ready to book? Find hotels on Gurney Drive or check flights to Malaysia to start planning your trip.

What is Gurney Drive known for?

Its hawker food, above all — the Gurney Drive Hawker Centre is one of Penang's biggest and best-known open-air food courts, right on the seafront.

Is Gurney Drive part of George Town?

Yes — it's a coastal strip within George Town, on Penang Island, about 10-15 minutes' drive from the UNESCO-listed heritage core.

Do Australians need a visa for Malaysia?

Australian passport holders can generally enter Malaysia visa-free for short-term tourist stays. Entry rules can change, so confirm the current requirements before you travel.

Are there direct flights from Australia to Penang?

AirAsia runs direct flights between Perth and Penang. From other Australian cities, the usual route is to connect through Kuala Lumpur.

How far is Gurney Drive from George Town's heritage area?

About 10-15 minutes by car or Grab, making it easy to base yourself on Gurney Drive and still visit the UNESCO heritage core for street art and colonial architecture.

Is Gurney Drive good for families?

Yes — between the hawker centre's variety, nearby malls, a seafront promenade and hotels with pools, it's an easy, comfortable base for families.

What food should I try at Gurney Drive Hawker Centre?

Char kway teow, oyster omelette (or chien), rojak, satay, Hokkien mee, lok lok skewers and pasembur are all local specialities served across the hawker centre's dozens of stalls.

Do I need a car to get around Gurney Drive?

Not for the strip itself, which is walkable, but a car or Grab ride is useful for reaching George Town's heritage core and other parts of Penang Island.
