"We booked the listing for 4 nights. The host never responded to any messages, we never received any check in information. We had to wait until 4pm to get Vrbo to cancel the booking.. It took several calls with Vrbo to get our refund. I suggest booking somewhere else, I’m not even sure this is a real listing. The photos look good but that’s not much use if you cannot check in. "

Sunway Hotel Georgetown Penang

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay here! We were able to check in early, provided with a welcoming gift, and throughout our stay all staff were accommodating. Our room was very spacious for 3 adults and had many toiletries. The bedding was quite comfortable. Continental breakfast buffet was quite limited for western food expect more Asian cuisine. Alwi always had a smile and was very helpful during breakfast time. "
