Overall Ratings & Reviews The Gallivant Hotel

Overview: The hotel is okay for the price. Pros: - Clean - Room is enough for 1 or 2 people - The hotel smells good when you enter, so it's quite impressive - There is a steam iron in the lobby, so it's very convenient for ironing Cons: - The location is a bit far from the center of George Town. It will take you about 20 minutes if you walk (it's best to book a Grab because it's quite cheap) - The room is clean but there are some places that show signs of being old - The power outlet is still a 3-square outlet, so you need to bring an adapter - My room doesn't have a hair dryer, so I have to proactively contact the reception to borrow one - There is no drinking water in the room, you can get water in the lobby If you ask me if I will book again when I come back, the answer is yes. Although it's far from the center, in return the room is clean, comfortable, and you can rest

Very nice place, can try stay here

Ok, friendly, good, close, affordable.

The hotel no provide water bottle, tissue inside the room. Limited parking for weekend . Around 15car park lot only. Do suggest have the microwave or oven for the dining area. As least, customer can heat back the food

The location is very far from the hospital 🥲

Stayed at room 202. I cannot complain about anything since it was all good. Recommended hotel! Definitely will stay here again next time.

Suitable for couples trip and backpacker. Cozy and clean.

Good location for bus stop, bedroom very clean and free flow mineral water from Coway dispenser. Bathroom very clean and the hot water consistent, but around the hotel lack of food stall.

I really like how the hotel looks inside hahaha, all the staff is very friendly and fast response. I would like to go back if I visit Penang again.

they have water dispenser in every floor near the lift. the room is very clean.

The room was spotless clean, the staff was friendly. The location's quite far from the tourist attractions.

The hotel is really good, clean, tidy, quiet. Only the wifi is a bit slow. It keeps turning off and on.

beautiful, clean and cheap place😍

The AC cannot be controlled via remote, it is a bit difficult to ask for the room to be cleaned (it hasn't been cleaned for 2 days? & the room is a bit less soundproof).

Clean, strategic location, easy check in and check out.

During my 3 days visit in Penang, I should say staying at The Gallivant was the most convenient one. The room was clean and the bathroom was well maintained with basic amenities provided. There was a small wholesale store nearby. It was Very convenient. I would come back again.

I had a pleasant stay at The Gallivant Hotel Penang. The hotel is clean and looks exactly like the pictures, which is a big plus. The room is not very spacious, but it’s comfortable and just the right size for two people. For a budget hotel, it offers great value for money. However, one thing to note is that the hotel does not provide a Qibla direction, so Muslim guests may need to check it themselves. Overall, it’s a good choice for a short and affordable stay in Penang, and I’d recommend it to budget travelers looking for a clean and well-maintained hotel!

strategic location, quiet and comfortable

The highlight of this hotel for me.+ their bed and pillow, its so comfy. Since I changed hotel few times (in a month stay in penang) this one the best.- booked a deluxe twin I thought it will be the same room like in the picture with window and curtain, but the room I got (404) just have very small window.

Overall, everything is fine. However, there are some areas where cleanliness could be improved, such as the corners, where there is a noticeable buildup of dust, especially around the phone and beverage tray. The room did not provide tissue, hand towels, hand soap, or a refrigerator.
