AI Summary
The property provides spacious rooms with classic decor and stunning sea views. It has an excellent breakfast buffet and exceptional service. The location offers direct access to the ocean and beach.

Half of the balcony in the room faces a really noisy street, which makes it extremely difficult to get a good night's sleep.
But other than that, things are fine. The view of the ocean is stunning.

First time staying at the Grand Ol Dame of Penang, celebrating its 140th anniversary. Stayed for 2 nights and the experience was great. Room was spacious and comfortable, facing the sea and you wake up to the sounds of crashing waves. Service was excellent. Breakfast was great, with cook-to-order char koay teow and roti canai, in addition to the standard eggs station. Hotel location was strategic, with plenty of food options a simple Grab ride away. The only thing lacking was the TV, coffee machine and fridge in the room, all of which could use an upgrade.

This place felt like the peak of luxury. I felt like I was surrounded by old money. The morning buffet was so absolutely delicious (although they cleared my stuff a bit quickly when I just got up to get some water). It also wasn't the easiest to walk near. If you have the financial means, I would definitely recommend staying here.

Five-star facilities, five-star front desk service, but one-star doorman service. I leave this review for all non-white potential guests: There's evident racial discrimination in the concierge service here. The doormen exclusively assist white guests by greeting them, opening car doors, and handling luggage. My family felt uncomfortable about it, so I can no longer ignore their experience. While the hotel itself is beautiful and all the rest staffs are friendly and professional, I strongly recommend standardizing your SOP or replacing the door team.

Good location. Very friendly staff Esha at the check in counter and 6th floor lounge lady staff.
The toilets at the ground floor next to restaurant could be cleaner. Overall good experience staying at this historical hotel.

Modern building styled like the heritage wing however noise from passing traffic until very late at night destroys the ambience. Level 6 sea view breakfast is quite peaceful, staff very attentive and friendly.
