There are no excuses for a filthy, unhygienic hotel room but my room in The Gurney Hotel was disgustingly dusty. The curtains (with those holes in them) looked like they hadn’t been washed for 15 years, the carpet was sticky and dirty, and it was generally unclean. Makes you wonder what they are paying the cleaning and house keeping staff... More

I have heard some bad remarks about the Gurney Hotel previously from other people so I had some reservation (pun intended) in booking the hotel. However my doubts were cleared soon as we checked in. The security was very helpful and cheerful in directing us to the car park (we drove from KL). The front desk was quick and efficient... More

Booked this hotel for my husband and my two kids. Seen the review on Tripadvisor and didn't expect too much. The hotel room we booked two bedroom unit was spacious and my kids could use the extra space to run around and play their toys. We had a complimentary breakfast and the food was alright. Nothing to shout about. But... More

Stayed here for 1 night for business. This is an old hotel and the rooms are showing their age. Service is rather average and the breakfast is nothing to scream about. Don't expect fantastic service at the front desk. Good thing is the hotel is located on gurney drive and you can get a great run along the esplanade. It... More

Aircon was cold enough so no worry when the sun shines in the morning. We loves the seaviews in our bedrooms and the big jacuzzi (though it's a bit noisy). The safe... More
