The air along the corridor is stuffy. The bathroom is poorly maintained and conditioners is not replaced with new ones. I can't believe these days a hotel is still using a plastic ...

Our personal credit cards, £1000.00 + local currency were stolen from our room. The thief was caught(ex-maintenance man who had cut a master key)and helped himself to our personal cash. ...

We enjoyed the rooftop pool with a view on the town. Convenient taxi service on premise and helpful front desk staff. But I don't recommend the attached massage service. Overall this hotel off... Mr. Fleury, Bernard Sat, 25 Apr 2009 05:06:59 +0100 http://www.asiarooms.com/Malaysia/Penang/174143--hotel-reviews/914140.html I think for the services and Facilities of the Grand Continental Penang the prices were too high. A double room was much smaller than a standard size .

The swimming pool also looks deserted and neglected.

Sadly not in this case as I suspect the staff are probably not being looked after by the senior management. Just ...

My only real complaint is the dinner menu is quite limited for Western tastes. Of the few choices available the food was well cooked and portions generous.

The hotel is so old, so poorly maintained; the walls are stained, the lift shakes a lot when moving, the floor is so dimly lit, it looks sleazy. The floors sm...

The room i got this time was far better than the one i got the first time. The only 2 thing`s i didn`t like,was the mounting that held the shower nozzle up on the wall was broken,so had to hold the nozzle whilst showering. ...

Although I requested that I get the non-smoking room, I got the smoking room instead. The room was dirty due to trace of tar here and there.
