Highly cost-effective hotel”

The hotel is located in the city center, very close to Komtar. There is a bus terminal here, so it is very convenient to go anywhere. In addition, there are famous street foods of Penang everywhere nearby, making it very convenient to taste the local delicacies.

The Wembley Hotel.”

The location of the hotel is excellent and provides easy access to all areas. It takes only 25 minutes to reach the hotel from Penang Airport, and the check-in process is very fast and efficient. The hotel is clean, and our room had a beautiful view of the seaside. There is a bus station opposite the hotel, making it easy to travel around. Additionally, there are many different restaurants nearby to choose from. We highly recommend this hotel for your stay.

Pleasant stay until a bad experience with the taxi booking”

Overall, was a pleasant short 3 day stay at Wembley Penang. Had experienced good experience at St Giles in KL and this was on par in terms of service. However, the hotel may want to pay more attention in curating the taxi drivers hired for airport transfers. There was a miscommunication internally and one of the staff forgot to confirm with me about my airport transfer arrangement that was to take place in the wee hours of the morning. Her colleague kindly suggested for me to book a grab and he will help me to book a transfer if it fails. Due to the miscomm, definitely no fault of the staff, taxi driver arrived and was upset I had already booked a Grab. It was a frightening experience as he badgered me to cancel my Grab booking and insisted I took the airport transfer which was more than double what I had to pay as compared to Grab. I felt threatened and unsafe as he continued to pester and blamed me, which was no fault of mine or the kind staff who had no idea at all. I told him to talk to the hotel but he kept on blaming me. It was 5 am in the morning, I am a solo female traveller and really felt super unsafe. A lesson learnt not to take airport transfers via taxi because 1) expensive 2) feels rather unsafe 3) poor or bad service. Suggest Wembley to screen the drivers before booking a taxi for airport transfer for hotel guests, it really does reduce the good experience from 5 to 4 or below.

Great place”

Great place in a great location. 3 Malls are just at walking distance. Close to many attractions as well. Walking distance to many food areas as well. Hotel is comfortable, great view of the sea. Bed is comfortable, room is cozy and spacious. However, bathroom is a bit tight, even for a solo traveler or single user. Food is just so so, but their Chinese cuisine is good. Others are pretty normal. Staffs are friendly and polite. Great service by them. But it was a waste that swimming pool was not available due to the ongoing repairs at the hotel. Only found out during the check in day, such a pity. Otherwise, quite a good place to stay.

House-keeping service ”

This hotel has an unfriendly house-keeping policy. The rooms are cleaned on alternate days. If you are an overnight guest, it's fine. We booked for 5 nights. On the second day, we were out until 4:00pm. We returned to a room that wasn't cleaned, even though we activated the makeup room sign. As guests who always stayed in hotels for many nights each visit, we are used to returning to a clean and fresh room. Hence, this hotel's house-keeping policy is a turn off. The least we expected was for the room to be cleaned and basic necessities be provided. (We are expected to reuse towels which are wet. Are we supposed to clear the rubbish bins ourselves? Why do we pay hotel charges if such basic service is not provided?) After speaking to the reception staff, we finally got them to clean our room for the remaining part of our stay.

We apologise for the housekeeping oversight during your stay. Our policy is to clean rooms every other day, but we understand this may not suit everyone. We appreciate your feedback and will review our procedures. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
