Room was spacious though we can hear the closing of doors, flushing, turning on and off taps. The service staff are extremely courteous and the doorman offered great help in recommending places to visit.

Although the staff were very nice and friendly, the place was really dirty. I won't be returning unless they improve the cleanliness.

Water heater is not working and we have to change room, and upon moving into the new room, similar problem happened on the following night. Bedsheets and towels are stained and yellow. I dont think this hotel is rated as said.

This is my second time staying at Vouk Hotel in Penang. I am unlikely to stay here again as the maintenance issues seem to be getting worse rather than better, unfortunately. It's not a bad place to stay; the hotel just needs a lot of work. Pros: *Central location to easily access most of Penang's popular areas; walk to Northam night market (5 minute walk), Gurney Drive/Plaza (10-20 minutes walk), and even historic Georgetown (20-30 minutes walk). *Very comfortable bed and linens. *Very spacious room and bathroom. *Great pharmacy and a Starbucks next door. *In-room, secured safe deposit box with customizable digital code. *Large workstation/desk and plenty of cabinet space. Cons: *Found several bugs/roaches in the bathroom, some adults and many babies, and one adult in the main area. *No hot water in the shower or sink the second day. *Needs minor maintenance (damaged wood flooring, inoperable wall light to the left of bed, electrical switch on left of bed sticks out from wall, wallpaper needs to be replaced, etc.) *Wifi is annoying to access, especially with a laptop. Each time you return to the room you need to re-login to the network. *Cash deposit of RM100 required to check in. *Hotel hallways are very dated and need a renovation/upgrade. *Not very quiet; you can easily hear people in the hallway and the adjacent rooms. I suggest getting a room at the far end of the hallway, furthest from the elevator, to minimize noise.

Good location. Room size is good. Lighting in the room inadequate, gloomy. Amenities insufficient. Housekeeping irregular.

Water Heater The water heater will suddenly no hot water in the middle of shower. Dirty in overall Table, floor, bed and everything inside the rooms don't really clean properly. Very disappointed with the rooms condition.

Nice big spacious room. Good facilities - free car park, good WiFi, swimming pool, gym. Limited restaurant service but plenty of eateries in vicinity - Gurney is just 10 mins walk away. Not sure whether its an oversight - previous occupier left a cup of bubble tea in the bin and the bin is not emptied. Limited cable TV - only loxal channels. Only 1 set of toiletries (shower gel and shampoo) for a double room. Have to request for replenishment. Booked for 2 nights but room cardkeys were deactivated after 1 night - have to get it validated at reception. Renovation is dated and the basin tap head came off easily.
