Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang

Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang

8/10 Good
"The staff were amazing. My only critcisim is that the Rasa upgrade didnt meet my expectation. My room faced the carpark and the private breakfast didnt hit the mark as the food options are limited. The afternoon tea and drinks the food again is a let down. There are so many options around and in my opinion could be better!"
