The room is considered clean. Staff is ok. But the breakfast very limited choice . However the housekeeping look like didn’t check the toiletries supply because I found used stuff did not removed and especially there is no extra roll of toilet paper while when the first roll of toilet paper is almost running out when we check in.
Excellent staff. Clean and professional hotel. Perfect location for the Gleneagles hospital. The hotel offers a van service to the hospital although it is walkable distance.

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.
Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The price was reasonable and location was great. The building and room was nice although there were a few things that could have been better. The mini fridge was not working properly and was not cold, the carpet in the hallway was really worn out and unfortunately on our last day there was a cockroach climbing on the wall of the washroom.
Please note: the area around the property is safe at night.
However it is a commercial area, so no tourist sights, no history, nothing to see, nothing to do, limited public transportation. You can eat out like in other parts of Penang, so no worries that you'll be forced to take all meals in the hotel. But otherwise is very much a check-in and sleep kind of place.
It was ok until our room had an aircond leak which was rectified but yet again leaked. Imagine more than twice hotel maintenance had to resolve the issue by entering our room. Other than that staff was pleasant and stay was ok.
Good location. Room size is good. Lighting in the room inadequate, gloomy. Amenities insufficient. Housekeeping irregular.

Likes - Good location, big room, polite and friendly staff, room service to repair the safe and deliver drinking water was prompt
Dislikes - kettle base needed to be scrubbed, no bedroom slippers, no face towel, no proper teaspoon only plastic stirrer, carpet at lift lobby needs to be vacummed
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.

Good location but hotel/rooms need maintenance.
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.
Modern spacious rooms. Rooftop pool with great view of city. Clean. The only suggestion I have is to train the staff to learn English if the hotel wants foreigners. Most staff do not speak English…
