Bayview Hotel Georgetown Penang is a well-located, value-packed option with a standout rooftop dining experience—best suited for those who can overlook its dated look and occasional service hiccups. If you prioritize convenience, ambience, and space without needing modern finishes, it’s a solid choice..
First of all, a big thank you to Mr. Vickneswaran from the security team for his warm guidance and assistance from the moment we entered the auto parking system. He was incredibly helpful in showing us where to go and made us feel very welcomed right from the start.
To my surprise, one of the staff members even shared a piece of cake and wished us a wonderful honeymoon vacation—such a thoughtful gesture! (I was so touched, I forgot to ask for the staff’s name.) Moments like these really made our stay memorable.
Overall, the staff were genuinely friendly, helpful, and made us feel appreciated throughout our visit. I’ve also included a photo of the lovely card greeting we received from the team—another sweet touch that we’ll always remember.
Thank you again to the whole team for making our honeymoon start with such warm hospitality!
First time staying in St Giles Wembley Penang. Location in Georgetown is very convenient to visit various tourist attractions. Hotel room is spacious. Receptions, housekeeping and cafe staffs helpful and friendly. Will definitely book the hotel again next time travelling to Penang.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Booked via Trip for 1 room for 1 night (19 to 20 June 2025). Breathtaking view of city and partial sea view from our room. 1st time stayed with CITITEL PENANG. Super nice hotel. Great hotel. Everytging was nice. Great location, great service, friendly staff. Good value for the money.
Check in was smooth and friendly service. I was very impressed with the Ms USEZANA & Ms SUZANNA, professionalism. Such professionalism and services from both ladies definitely need to be highlighted.
They are was such an amazing welcoming and so kind, it made my stay very enjoyable and leading us to the foc drinks. Totally I truly appreciate your kindness.
Next, breakfast had a wide spread and i loved the DIY coffee machine. Often crowded but seats were readily available. Thank you Breakfast also was delicious.
Water dispenser was just outside our room. It's fantastic and eco friendly.
Not forgetting housekeeping who also did a fantastic job.
Overall, highly recommended to those planning a holiday in Georgetown, Penang. Thank you for the warm hospitality given to us during our stay. Everything was more than perfect!
On my next stays, I will definitely check into CITITEL PENANG Hotel again😍
Helpful staff and good location. Suggest to travel by Grab for places of interest within Georgetown to avoid hassle of parking. Walls a little thin and could faintly hear noises from outside, else everything is good.
Great hotel for those looking for a sea view with direct beach access at a reasonable price! The hotel kindly arranged for a high floor room with a request at booking. Check in was efficient and seamless by receptionist Marvel. Amenities were largely sufficient thought those who are more particular might wish to consider bringing their own body soap/shampoo as the hotel uses an All in one option. Would definitely consider returning on my next trip!
I had a pleasant stay at Vouk Hotel Suites in Penang. The hotel is in a great location, making it convenient for exploring the island. However, the car park tends to fill up around 7:30 p.m., but I truly appreciated the security guard’s assistance in allocating parking spaces.
The room I stayed in did not have a window, which affected airflow and made it less ideal for a family stay. On the positive side, the hotel maintained good security and cleanliness, which made our trip more relaxing. The front desk staff were warm and kind, providing excellent assistance during check-in.
One downside was the absence of a gym or swimming pool, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it's a good option for those prioritizing location, cleanliness, and security.
The overall environment is clean and tidy, and the air at the back is very fresh. I saw a group of monkeys when I was in Li's room this morning. The problem was solved very quickly. When a problem occurred, someone came to help us solve it immediately. It takes at least 15 minutes to walk to the beach, and it may take more than ten minutes to take a taxi.
We recently stayed at Ixora Hotel Penang and had an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with warm smiles and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Their hospitality was top-notch, and we felt genuinely cared for throughout our visit.
We stayed in the King’s Room, which was ideal for us. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully designed for comfort and relaxation. The king-sized bed was incredibly comfortable, and the modern amenities made our stay feel luxurious. It was the perfect space to unwind after a day of exploring.
One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast. The variety was amazing—there were so many delicious options to choose from! Whether we were in the mood for local dishes or classic Western breakfast items, everything was fresh and tasted fantastic. It was a treat to start our mornings with such a delightful spread.
The hotel’s amenities also added to our experience. From the well-maintained facilities to the inviting atmosphere, everything was thoughtfully curated. The location of the hotel is super convenient too, making it easy for us to explore nearby attractions and enjoy Penang’s vibrant culture.
Overall, our stay at Ixora Hotel Penang was unforgettable. The combination of excellent service, a cozy and romantic room, delicious food, and great amenities made it a perfect getaway for us. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Penang and can’t wait to return!
It was a wonderful experience for my family and myself. We booked a family room with a amazing seaview. Just the view alone is worth the room rate. I could sit at the balcony in the evening and watch the sun sets. We spent 2day 1 night at Bayview Beach Resort and were more than happy. People are friendly and the environment is suitable for family with kids.
Very Good

SSangeetthis hotel is good overall, but when we arrived, they told us that we didn't have a booking with them and they couldn't locate our booking and details. the room was also said to be taken, and they are waiting for a cancellation in order to get our room. There is a lot of confusion among staff. some visitors were told to leave their rooms once they have entered. we waiting 1 hr 30 min to get our room. so check in was at 4.30pm. parking was also very inconvenient, as we had to park at the basement, which was impossible to even get one if you came into the hotel late and a T&G card was also needed to get validated before leaving the hotel if we wanted a free spot. Room was very spacious and clean. the tea and coffee was hard like its never been changed.

Eet10Hotel is brand new, used to be the old Copthorne. Nice n new. They are still doing quite a fair bit of touch ups... Many workers ard pool area, stairs etc. Staff are all very pleasant. Housekeeping was OK. On the last night, I doubt if they vacuumed the room, as the bits of leaves which was left the night before was still there. Toiletries were not complete, no body lotion or shaver or hand soaps at the wash basin. So... Had to make do with the bath gels provided
The shower area was long enough, but during and after showering, the water splashes out to the rest of bathroom. So pls ask for extra floor mats. .
Towels were nice n fluffy. Room was great... Spacious. We took a 3 person room, but it can have 4 people comfortably. Room view was nice (sea view) n quiet. Hanging clothes area was sufficient. The safe could have been placed higher, we were struggling to see what we left inside... Had to go on all 4s. Oh... The fridge was not cold. Didn't bother calling maintenance, coz we were leaving the next day.
Think the room can be improved like maybe garden chairs at the balcony, a drying area for swimsuits, extra floormat going to the balcony, maybe a small writing table for work. There is a table, n it was handy for the food we had, but not conducive as a work table.
The metal cups were really cute, however, after 1 cup of coffee or tea, it's stained really badly.
Overall was a great stay. Pool was very nice, staff were very pleasant. Attitude is 5 stars. Tq
FFamily RThe check-in process was very slow despite the friendliness and service from the receptionist who was very polite and kind. The room was very comfortable, spacious and clean. The food choices at breakfast were quite limited but worth it. And again, the service of the staff here was top-notch and very good, so well done and thank you to the hotel team for that.
IIsabelleyishaThe hotel location is right on the hot spot of Georgetown. But it goes with noise at night until 2am. So if you plan to be partying at night it's ideal and walking distance to Love Lane and all Georgetown touristic areas.
But if you wish to sleep and relax after midnight definitely not the right hotel for you.
The room was OK in terms of size but a lot of mosquitoes coming from the bathroom drain. I've killed at least 50 of them thanks to a mosquito raquet 🤣 The tip is to close the bathroom curtains so they don't get in the bedroom.
Humidity in the room had the paint peeling off.
For the price I don't think the room quality was enough. Specially for the humidity and mosquitoes combination.
The breakfast menu was not available but you can easily go down the street and eat at ease or order with the application grab. No bar available in the hotel.
The shared areas are clean. Loved that you have to take off your shoes at the entrance.
There are stairs to get into the hotel but they help you with your luggage. The first time you arrive you need to ring the bell for them to come open for you. Small door not easy to spot at first. I suggest to the hotel to stick the name directly on the door at eye level and big to avoid confusion. I've uploaded a picture of the door for you to not get lost.
After you check in they will give you the door code so easy for you to get by.
Staff has been helpful when asked but not interacting or giving you suggestion or asking you how things are going.
I've rated cleanness average because there was a lot of hair in the bathroom when I arrived. Had to literally take it off during 5 minutes. Thick long hair... Not sure how they didn't spot it.
Apart of that they were cleaning all right the rest of the stay.
Internet was not easy to get when in the room but in common areas or close to the door of the room works better. Don't save on a sim card and buy at the airport for having internet at all times on your phone. Will help you with maps and outside anyway.
The taxi from the airport was very convenient only 30 minutes and I ordered with grab came within 5 minutes.
Hope this information helps 🌹
TTomi Qing RongHotel is quite dated and the facilites are pretty old, not exactly very clean either. Need to request for room make-up, otherwise they will take their time to do it (was out for 8 hours and when I got back at 4pm, it was still not done).
Accessible location with a bus terminal and a few malls nearby.
One complaint about the pool: the water was really dirty with clumps of hair in it and the water was so salty. There were also adults and children swimming/playing in the pool with their clothes on, but the staff didn't say anything at all.
AAnonymous UserEnjoy our stay at Mercure. It was truly valuable for money. The rooms were well renovated and spacious. However, there were minor spots where the cleaners could've missed, and the children's room might need some renovation to make it more welcoming. Will definitely come again.
