The Gallivant Hotel

Great Stay in a Strategic Location for First-Time Visitors to Penang This hotel is strategically located in Penang, making it an excellent choice for first-time visitors who want to explore the island’s famous local food. Many popular eateries are within walking distance or just a short drive away, which makes food-hopping incredibly convenient. While the room doesn’t offer much of a view — unlike those in Batu Ferringhi or Tanjung Tokong — the interior is modern, clean, and comfortable. The lobby welcomes guests with a pleasant fragrance, creating a warm and inviting first impression. Inside the room, you’ll find access to YouTube and Netflix, which is a nice touch for relaxing after a day out. The only minor drawbacks are the slightly limited soundproofing and a compact bathroom, which reminds me of those in Hong Kong. That said, the toilet is sparkling clean and beautifully designed with a modern aesthetic. Another plus: the hotel provides free parking, and if the parking area is full, the staff are helpful and will assist in arranging alternative parking. Overall, this hotel offers great value, a superb location, and thoughtful service — ideal for travelers who want convenience and comfort while exploring Penang.

Hotel is clean and neat. Location is good Walking distance to Cecil street food centre. Room is cozy and new. Mattress is hard that I like, it's comfortable to sleep. They do provide the water dispenser which is a plus point for me. Kudo to the staff Daniial. I left my mobile device charger in the room. He was kind enough to deliver back to me. It's not his job to do that as it's hotel policy that they are not responsible if anything left in the hotel. But he did it. Recommended

Hotel location is quite good and staff also friendly and helpful. Room no have fridge and staff help us to keep. Room clean and will visit again.

Great front desk, but cleanliness need to be improve, and also air conditioning was leaking.

The environment is nice, and the people are friendly.

Cozy hotel. Friendly staff and service. The hotel has its own parkings but they are limited. The staff will help to arrange parking when the parking lot is full.
