Hotels Near Pretoria Hall and Karangan Lodge in Southwest Penang Island

Took my mom on our annual Penang trip with the family. I like the old-school charm the Bayview hotel offers. The room is super spacious. We have three big beds and two balconies. The premise is a beach front property,so you got direct access to the beach. There's plenty of sun deck chairs scattered on the clean, grassy lawn. I love the pool because it's rare to find a hotel pool with 12 feet depth, so while the shallower area is crowded, I get a bit of personal space by the deep pool. It's easy access to food and shopping area.

This was our 1st time at Amari Spice but from the on set was a bad experience. Driving into the hotel I could not drive to the lobby entrance to drop my family & luggage as it was blocked for some reason best known to Amari. Security at the entrance was of no help & I ended up blocking the way of a car at the back. What was supposed to be destress trip, started off on bad note. Anyway cursing Amari Spice for being worst than a 1 star hotel, I reversed back into the lobby entrance. Told this bad experience while checking in to the front office staff but they were not bothered  Going to the room found the mattress to be too soft sinking when you lay down & the air cond temp tops up at 26.5 degress, not everyone likes the room super cold. These 2 shortcomings are something that you wld not find in a 4 or 5 star hotels but looks like Amari is still figuring out where they stand. Even many 3 star hotels are better. Moving to the shower both rain & hand shower water flow was dispointing at best with temperature regulation being a challenge. Since my home is at Bukit Jambu & the main reason of chosing Amari was to destress, which was not possible with the said room conditions, I had to leave my family both nights to head home to rest. The matteress, shower & air cond at home the best. Wondering how Amari claims to be home away from home. On a good note the staff were courteous & friendly. Inclosing would I stay at Amari Spice again. NO.

Our stay at this hotel was fantastic. The unit we stayed in was impressively spacious, providing ample room for everyone to relax comfortably. Each room came with its own shower, which was a great convenience and added to our overall comfort. The view from the hotel was stunning, offering a beautiful backdrop throughout our stay. The breakfast was a highlight, with a wide variety of selections that made it well worth the price. The quality and range of options ensured that everyone in our family found something they enjoyed. Overall, we had an incredibly enjoyable stay. A special thank you to the hotel staff for making my parents feel happy and well-cared-for. We genuinely appreciated the excellent service and would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Overall it is very good and i will recomended to my friends and relatives too. I like most is morning break fast and other complementary facilities. Same time behavior of staff and other house keeping staff too. The reception area is execelnt and wifi also as per rquirement.

Made a last minute booking at this hotel; for a one night stay. Arrived in the evening; yeah they ad the rooms ready. Staff were decent. Good size lobby. The room Got the rooms on the 3rd floor. There is a lift; so easy to go up. Small room. Toilet seems big for budget hotel. Towel was superb; fluffy and fresh. Good hot shower with good water pressure. Just the air condition was not that cold at all. Moving around is easy with Grab. There are many food store nearby. Overall, this place is decent if you have things to do in Bayan or Airport area. Just dont expect much.

Beautiful hotel with a superb view of the beach. You can see the view the moment you step into the hotel as the reception is open to the veranda where you can see the beach. Room is clean and comfy. Wifi is strong. Good breakfast. Many options provided and there is a coffee machine provided as well which is great to start the day. Restaurant is also facing the sea. Staffs are friendly and approachable. For restaurants within walking distance, there are only a few options so just take note of that. There is a convenience shop beside the hotel.

Cozy, neat, tidy and wonderfully decorated room. Convenient location, close to an amazing shopping mall, QB, and nearby shops & eateries. The only disappointing point is we had to queue up for a long time because most staffs were out for lunch and therefore guests had to bear with them when checking out. We are wondering if this can be sorted out by letting guests drop off the door card in the check out box rather than processing it manually.

Very nice and good.my 1st time experience stay at this hotel.i get upgraded to sea view by this hotel.all the facilities are ok but if more convenient if they have connected door with pool and bathroom.overall all good included thier service and good staff

I paid this hotel a visit to see at first time a traditional Malay Hotel. I was not disappointed. The entrance foyer have a number of old artefacts including very old fishing boats. There is a famous restaurant entrance via Moroccan Style windows. Nearby a must to visit is the charming Sam Poh Footprint Temple.

The hotel is cleaned and the bed is comfortable.  It has amazing sea view and very nice pool.  A great place for vacation and relax. But the hotel itself is located a bit far from the center of the city.
