What guests think

Across recent reviews, St Giles Wembley Penang is praised for its central, walkable location near Komtar and eateries, and for generally friendly, helpful staff, though experiences with housekeeping frequency, room condition, and noise vary by stay.

Rooms are described as spacious and comfortable by some, but others note dated furnishings, inconsistent air-conditioning, poor sound insulation (especially at connecting doors), and occasionally weak Wi‑Fi. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many found rooms clean, while several reported stained towels, musty or smoky smells, mould, or pests, and mentioned housekeeping on alternate days or later in the evening. Facilities such as the large pool, a small gym, and a rooftop bar receive praise, and breakfast is often enjoyed for variety, though a few guests found it disappointing or crowded. Overall, expect a convenient city base best suited to travellers prioritizing location over consistently modern or quiet rooms.

It's well maintained, and is close to Kamtar, George Town, 1st Avenue Shopping Mall and plenty of eateries around; and can easily access further away by Grab. I like its reasonable good size swimming pool. Buffet breakfast is a delight with plenty of selection. Room is spacious and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Right in the middle of everything form shopping to dinning. Famous local food vendors are just around the corner. Swimming pool is big and beautiful. Wi-Fi for work is great with no problems. Definitely the best hotel in this price range for me so far.

Overall it was good. Hotel’s location is strategic & staffs are helpful & friendly. Car parking is free. But one of our rooms (No 2808)’s aircond seems is not functioning well. Once we closed the connection door between the 2 rooms, then we felt that room 2808’s aircond was not working well. But since we stayed for 1 night only and it was late, so we didn’t make any complaints.

Location of the hotel was great with 1st Avenue shopping mall just across the road and many eateries within walking distance. But the rooms were dated with many wooden fixtures and furniture needing replacement or refurbishment. Lap pool was nice and the small gym was functional. The Sky bar and its views were great.

One of the modernized hotels in the area. Big swimming pool. The upper floor rooms are better than the lower floor rooms in my opinion. There are transportation hubs and shopping malls right across the street. Walking distance to lots of restaurants. The tallest building "The Top" is 15 minutes away by walk.

Great service by crew members. From front desk to housekeeping. Major shout out to the doormen. Especially Parbat. Super helpful. Rooms were really disappointing. Our toilet had visits from cockroaches while my mother’s toilet had the drainage kind of smell throughout the 3 nights we stayed. Overall a major dip in cleanliness and comfortability of the rooms as compared to my previous experience last year.

My bed sheets smelled like sour sweat. Pillows and blankets are all brown under the sheets and covers. We made them change the all the sheets and coverings the next day. We saw our neighbor do the same thing. We were only given 2 bath towels and no face or hand towels. Our bathroom had a strong mildew smell and black mold all over. Breakfast was also a disappointment. It was so bad we decided to just eat out instead.

The hotel was very nice and in a central location. The room was lovely BUT I didn’t get much sleep as it was very noisy. I was in a room which had an adjoining door - no soundproofing at all with the room next door. It sounded like the family staying there were in my actual room it was so loud. If you come to stay, ask for a room without an adjoining door!

I stayed here for 1 night and never again. Was given room 2611 and it was an adjoining room. I could hear the kids next door all night. Then the temperature control in the room doesn’t work! It stays at 24C all night! The pillow and duvet is cheap quality and not cotton so it feels really hot! I normally stay opposite my favourite hotel and will continue doing so. Last time in St Giles

I stayed 5 nights. The location of this hotel is good. Short walk to food street. On my check in, the staff told me to pay for the 5 nights & taxes. I told him i have paid & booked via Expedia. He said his system showed that i have not paid. I showed him the receipt but he insisted to collect the taxes from me which i paid. On the day check out another staff served me & refunded RM$50 to me because she said i have paid during booking via expedia. During check in , i told the staff do not allocate last room for me & he said room is in the middle which i am fine but when i reached the room it was the last room. I was shocked to know that their housekeeping is at 6pm. I went out and returned to the room in the afternoon & room is not clean yet so when i called the housekeeping, she didnt explain to me why the room is not clean & just say housekeeping at 6pm. The housekeeping is on alternate days, so during no cleaning day i asked to change the bathing towels & was told have to wait till evening because not enough towels to change.

Perfect hotel for a weekend getaway! My partner and I stayed here upon recommendation from our family and feel we made the right choice staying here. Our room was spacious, and the shower had excellent water pressure! Our city view on the 26th floor was beautiful, and the area surrounding the hotel was picturesque and convenient for eating at local hawker centers. Would recommend! My only recommendation/area for improvement would be the air conditioning in our room. Although it did work and did cool our room, it only ever reached 24 degrees Celsius which was fine, but we would have preferred cooler. The room service was excellent as well! Though one area for improvement there would be having them stay open past 10pm.

Begin 2020 5 nachten gelogeerd en het was uitstekend bevallen, in december 2023 besloten om er 3 nachten te slapen maar nu beviel het absoluut niet. De kamers zijn erg verouderd, een beetje onderhoud kan geen kwaad. Het ontbijtbuffet viel ontzettend tegen, het was er ook erg druk dus vaak waren de schalen leeg of weinig keuze en vanwege - hoogstwaarschijnlijk personeelstekort - kon het even duren voordat je weer wat kon pakken. Het internet was ook erg langzaam, omdat ik klaagde heb ik een router op mijn kamer gekregen maar een snelle verbinding was het absoluut niet. Kortom, ik zal niet meer mijn keuze op dit hotel laten vallen - het vriendelijk personeel probeerde wel zoveel mogelijk de klachten op te lossen, helaas lukt het niet altijd. Hotelmanagement: wil je tevreden klanten hebben, doe er iets aan! Iwan
