Stayed 2N at Gurney Bay to explore Gurney area. Location wise, it is walking distance (1km) to the malls and close to the Sleeping Buddha Temple (800m). However, under the hot sun with little shade along the route, it is better to take Grab around. If you want to explore the Central area of Georgetown, it is far.
The lobby is grand like a 5☆ hotel, amenities are good and the room is big. However, the furniture and fittings look rather dated, IMO, they need some refurbishment. The water pressure of the shower could be higher. The bed and pillows have good support. Overall cleanliness is very good.
The cafe's breakfast spread offers a mix of local and international, more on the local side, which is good. The Char Kuay Teow and Roti Canai are particularly very good. Also, it offered Teh Tarik. We also had a 3-course set lunch, and it was nice, too.
Service wise, the front desk staff is polite, and the concerige is courteous when responding to enquiries. But I would say we don't feel the warmth that I experienced in most 5☆ hotels, even some 4☆ hotels.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay.
