Truly strategic near Gurney Plaza and Paragon — Armenian Street, the Blue Mansion and a beach cafe close, the bay view beautiful opposite a park — Gurney Bay Hotel, A Parkroyal Partner Hotel is an all-good usual-standard stay: a very spacious clean room with a comfy bed and big bathroom, polite friendly reception, a grand well-maintained lobby and a definitely-worth-it breakfast buffet that beats rivals , a slightly-old but maintained hotel at an affordable rate. One caution: a blanket carried a period stain a partner discovered.
