Beach Hotels in Penang, Malaysia

Excellent location, great seaviews with beach access. Welcoming staff always available to help. Handy to Viva food market and a convenience store situated on the ground level. The pool view is magnificent and well maintained ” the water is a bit chilly as it is mostly shaded”. Filtered water in your room and very large comfortable rooms. Make this an excellent choice.

10/10 for my stay at ParkRoyal Penang Resort. This stay was a birthday gift for my 73-year-old husband. Thanks to ParkRoyal for the complimentary birthday cake which pleasantly surprised and delighted him. Overall service here was first class. It was from the warm and cheerful bell-hop Yusani to the helpful and thoughtful Asvathy at Check-in Reception, Transportation and Sight-seeing thoughtful and caring Angeline, Diligent Housekeeping Ali to thev cheerful Chanond who sent the birthday cake to our room…and also staff at Cinnamon and Javana Lounge. They all are pleasant and polite. They served with a smile and made us feel welcome all the time. Truly appreciated the warmth and hospitality of this hotel. The breakfast at Cinnamon was impressive, sumptuous and came with a wide variety of choices. We enjoyed our 2 breakfast thoroughly.So, we were happy and glad to have booked our room with breakfast.. There is also a Welcome drink with cookies at Javana Lounge. It was, indeed. a great start to our stay. It should be offered to all guests checking-in. For guests who would like sipping cocktaile by the beach or at Javana Lounge, there is a 20% discount for room-booking with Trip.com. We, indeed, had a pleasant, memorable and enjoyable stay at ParkRoyal. Would be back someday for more birthday stay here in future.

I just stayed for one night. Which was enough for me. Be aware this is not part of the official Rainbow Resort Hotel. Upon seeing my confirmation, the receptionist told me my room was an Airbnb. The building is a hotel as well private rooms that are rented out. The room itself was very spacious, 70 sqm with one bedroom and a living space. It had obviously been repainted recently (it smelt a fresh paint) so the walls were clean. Air conditioning and basic amenities were provided. The building itself, has seen a lot of wear and tear. If you’re on a budget and want a spacious room it will meet your needs. For the price I think it’s quite reasonable if you’re there for a short stay. The hotel is next to a beach, and a swimming pool downstairs. There a few restaurants across the road.

We were treated to warm, delicious cookies upon arrival and were allowed to check in at 11am, which was a pleasant surprise to us. Everything is within walking distance and located right next to the night market, you'd be in for a treat for local delights, such as the famoua char kway teow and lor bak stalls. The room is clean with a good view of the city. The gym is small, but is well-maintained and equipped with a variety of equipment. Quite a lovely hotel.

I booked a sea-view room right next to Gurney Drive. It was convenient to grab a meal downstairs, and the breakfast was excellent. The pool is on the second floor and open until 8 PM, but it gets no sun after 4 PM. A dip in the pool was perfect for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing. The service was superb and very attentive.

The rooms are new and well-equipped, with a pool and gym. The breakfast is more Western-style, with not a huge selection, but it's enough. The dining environment is excellent with beautiful sea views! On the downside, none of the front desk or service staff speak Chinese, and communication can be an issue if your English isn't great. For example, when we asked for more water, their 'Indian English' was completely incomprehensible! It's also about 8km from George Town, so transportation isn't very convenient. You'll also need a taxi to get to the best sunset beach.

My bedroom wad super noisy, next to a road, I could hear the trafic all day long. It was better during the night. The management gave me a quiet bedroom me for my second night as it was full for the first night. The court was dirty but they sent someone to clean it, change the bedsheet with stains and repair the broken tap. The bottles of shower soap are tricky as the straw is too short. The bathroom can be locked from outside as you can see on pictures. There are 2 marts next door, thai food and rôti stall. The bedroom doesn't look like the pictures I saw on the page.

We had a good stay at Flamingo Hotel by The Beach Penang. The hotel is very beautiful, and the room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was also good. All the staff were nice except for one person named mr Li. He was not friendly during check-in, and I happened to meet the same person again during check-out. He looked very bossy, double standard and unfriendly. I would recommend sending him for hospitality training, especially for front office service. Other than that, everything was good and we had a pleasant stay there….

We had a great stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Penang for 3 days and 2 nights while accompanying my husband on his outstation trip. Everything was excellent! The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the check-in was smooth with the signature warm cookie as a nice welcome touch. We loved the facilities, especially the swimming pool, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. Breakfast was also delicious with a good variety of options. Highly recommended, and we would definitely come back again!

I was upgraded to a Deluxe room but it was at the extreme corner next to the service staircase. Grateful for the upgraded but the room conditions were not up to par . Hair in shower room , the shower holder fell when I was taking it out and it dropped on my toe . Hence the blue black toe shown ( hehe ) . I could not sleep the whole night as the air con was very very noisy even when I lower the adjustment. The day curtain was torn . I sound it out to reception the next morning to see whether they can change my room as I was staying for another 2 nights . They did and I reckoned it was another up grade as now the room has a standing shower room . In the other previous room , you have to stand in the bath tub to shower and for a man of 65 , it is a bit tricky . The hotel really needs an up grade too . It is in a good location and CAT bus is nearby . The CAT shuttle is a complimentary bus that moves around the town area . The saving grace for my trip was that the staff was up to par and reacted quickly . Well done on this . Now , I wait for my toe to heal .
