Beach Hotels in Penang, Malaysia

Overall, the stay was okay and fairly comfortable. The location is excellent and very convenient. However, there were several issues with the room details and service. Some areas of the room did not seem to be cleaned properly — there were a few hairs found in the shower area, and the tissue supply was not refilled promptly and ran out very quickly. In addition, the amount of shower gel and shampoo provided was too little and definitely not enough for two people. The service also felt quite slow and inefficient. It was my first time experiencing a hotel breakfast buffet that required guests to queue for a long time due to the limited seating space. Furthermore, although check-in time was supposed to be at 2 PM, when we arrived close to 3 PM, the counter staff informed us that the room was still not ready and we had to continue waiting, which was quite disappointing and should not have happened. That said, despite these issues, the overall stay was still reasonably comfortable and the hotel offers decent value for money.

Location is great. On my bday, surprisingly they send a birthday cake. So i hv a small celebration in the room with my daughter.  They also let us do late check out, because i need to see doctor in morning and my flight is at night. Its very2 helpfull

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 .

Although we only needed a one bedroom apartment, we booked a two bedroom as that was all that was available at the time. We were really looking forward to having some space after spending the last couple of weeks in hotel rooms, so we were pleasantly surprised when we were offered a 3 bedroom apartment as none of the two bedrooms were ready. It was fabulous, lots of space and way up on the 32nd floor which makes for quite the view. Great place, the pool was fantastic and it's in a great location with a small beach out front (note this is not walkable at high tide). Thing that could be better is a few more supplies/furnishings. Although we had a balcony, there were no tables or chairs for outside (we did ask but nothing was available) and although we had dishes and cutlery for 6 people there was only one medium sized frying pan and one medium sized saucepan, which made for some creative cooking. But we would go back again especially for a longer stay.

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….

Highly recommended for families with young children! The room isn't huge, but it's well-designed, with comfortable lighting and a clean, odor-free environment. The shower has great water pressure and gets nice and hot. There are plenty of kids' facilities, and the pool is excellent, with super responsible lifeguards – parents of older kids can really relax there. There's also a kids' club for children under 12. They have a private beach, though the sea in Penang isn't particularly blue and has jellyfish, so swimming isn't an option. Part of the hotel is under renovation, but my room felt very new, likely recently refurbished. There's a Hard Rock Cafe on the ground floor with a live band every night at 8:45 PM, creating a great atmosphere. This is a family-friendly hotel with excellent value for money.

We stayed here as a family of 10 and had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The rooms were spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable — everyone slept so well each night. The food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious, with something for everyone to enjoy. One of the highlights was definitely the beautiful view, which made our stay even more special and relaxing. Overall, it was a memorable getaway for all of us, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again. Highly recommended for families!

We like the sea view from the hotel. Comfy room. You may park your car at the tanjung point basement car park just beside the hotel and before you go out from the car park, remember to ask the receptionist to validate the touch and go card to get free parking. The convenient store (mynews) is just located at ground floor of tanjung point.

The Amari SPICE Penang is a standout choice for travelers seeking a sleek, contemporary stay directly connected to the island's premier convention center and near the airport. Its rooms are impressively bright and spacious, offering high-end comfort and modern tech amenities that cater perfectly to both business guests and families. While the location in Bayan Lepas is a bit far from the historic charm of George Town, the hotel compensates with a spectacular rooftop pool and a diverse, high-quality breakfast spread. Ultimately, it is the best-in-class option for those prioritizing convenience and modern luxury over proximity to the heritage district.

This hotel truly deserves a good review. I'd definitely stay here again on my next visit. **Service:** Top-notch! The hotel knew we needed to change (Penang was so hot!), and they let us check in early at 10 AM since a room was available. Water was also delivered to our room very quickly. **Location:** Super convenient. There's a 7-Eleven right next door and a shopping mall. **Accommodation Experience:** I requested a standing shower room in advance, and that's exactly what I got. The bed was quite large, and the overall feeling was spacious and clean. **Dining:** During the May Day holiday, there was about a 5-minute wait for breakfast, which was perfectly acceptable.
