Beach Hotels in Penang, Malaysia

It was a rushed booking, but they didnt dissapoint. Went as celebration for birthday and everything was good. Hotel was kind enough to give us complimentary birthday cake when we told them. Food: only tried the breakfast buffet, 8/10. So many varieties, and they were good except for the sambal nasi lemak. Room: Bed, soooooo comfy. And you can change the pillow as to your likings. The bar soap, shower gel etc smells herbs, similar to the spa. Facilities: the pool is okay, there are few board games that you can play at the lounge, but that’s about it. Location: the beach is not private but it’s so near to the food hawker stalls (and pretty btw), they happened to have fire show during our stay, and it’s magnificent.

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.

Surprised by how clean it was despite being an old hotel in the area. I am overall satisfied with the hotel and my room, especially the cleanliness of the toilet and tub area. If I have to be really fussy and pin point a thing I did not like, it would be that the blanket is slightly thinner than I would normally prefer a hotel blanket to me. However, this is just my very fussy side speaking. Overall, I would give this hotel a 4.9 out of 5. I had booked a room with breakfast during my two days there for a workshop. Both days are somewhat the same, food was decent. The workshop provided lunch which led me to again dining in the lunch buffet section, overall it was pleasant. I like it that the hotel provided a variety of Penang food over the two days. My fav was the rojak which I took a photo here haha! Hub enjoyed the pool and hot & cold pool (sadly the sauna was under maintenance). Before I checked out, I also happened to be part of the Penang heritage launch ceremony. So, I got to see some of the really beautiful art work and nyonya clothing items on sale at the pop up stalls at the lobby too. The hotel also was serving nutmeg juice and Penang famous snack 豆沙饼. I must mention too, that I got a sea view room which allowed me to see the extension project by MBPP. There was a very happening and lovely park opposite the hotel just minutes walk away. I couldn’t help to bring myself over and was really happy to experience the joy of the families enjoying the facilities there. Huge slide, lots of climbing equipment and a very decent skatepark! Running track was very nice too! You must check it out if you’re in Penang! It was overall a pleasant stay in all.

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.

“Great location by the beach. The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly. A good place to relax.”

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!

Always my prefer hotel whenever i go Penang. However the location is far away from street food so usually we will walk around city area & eat dinner only return to hotel as it's far from city area. Love this place because of the quiet and peaceful location & the hotel has a private beach side. It's kids friendly too as they have a kids pool area as well as kids clib room area. The room is spacious & the bed is facing seaview. Their breakfast buffet is amazing....lots of variety & delicious. Staff are all friendly too. Highly recommended.

Enjoy 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.

We stayed here 2d1n. It was really good for budgeting below than 400rm 4 pax. Breakfast included and the food also good. The most important thing is… THE VIEWS…. Im coming from kl and we wanted to have the healing vibes and look for the sceneries… we got it here… thanks for the management and services…u did an excelent job!

this 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.
