Beach Hotels in Penang, Malaysia

The environment and the sea view from the window are both beautiful. The hygiene is excellent, and there's a supermarket downstairs, which is very convenient for buying things. The only minor drawback is that using the washing machine costs extra, and there are no complimentary disposable toothbrushes or slippers.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the night market, and the sunset views in the evening are fantastic. There are lots of delicious food options nearby. The only downside is that it's a bit far from George Town, about a 20-minute motorbike ride or a 35-minute taxi ride. The hotel itself has a 5-star standard in terms of facilities, and the breakfast offers a wide variety. However, the hotel was incredibly crowded, probably because of Chinese New Year.

Everything is good..the room is clean and comfortable, the view is beautiful. The beach is behind the resort. Only the elevator had a big problem. It was too slow, and we waited 20 minutes but still couldn't go down. Full of people. We had to use the stairs to go down to the 15th floor.

Stayed here for four out of five days in Penang. Finally got a twin room with a beautiful city view – excellent value for money! The sink is quite deep, which was handy for a quick wash of intimates. There's a 7-Eleven about 500m across the street, and a small convenience store right opposite, making it super easy to grab water and other essentials.

The hotel is a bit old, but I actually found the bed quite comfortable, unlike some reviews that mentioned sagging. It's in a great location for exploring; just a short walk around the corner and you'll find the colorful shophouses and plenty of local snacks. You'll need to grab a ride to get to Mural Street and the Peranakan Museum. Breakfast was a bit weak; you have to cook your own noodles, and when I went at 9:30 AM, they said they had run out of eggs, which the hotel definitely needs to improve on. Other services were pretty good though.

Fantastic experience! I hesitated a lot before booking, but I'm so glad I made the right choice. It's an established five-star hotel with excellent service and a rich variety of breakfast options. The best part is the swimming pool – storage, showers, bath, and sauna are all available, and the pool water is very clean. Our room had no strange smells, though we didn't spend much time there apart from sleeping. All the great food spots are within walking distance, and taxis can easily find the location. The front desk staff can communicate perfectly in Mandarin. Highly recommended!

Our first night was unfortunately not good. Our room was on the 6th floor, directly under the pool area and pool terrace. We could clearly hear kids running around and chairs being dragged late into the evening. The sound insulation of the building also seems quite weak. We could hear the couple in the neighboring room talking very clearly, and they were noisy throughout the night, which resulted in a sleepless first night. The next morning we spoke to the hotel staff, and they arranged another room for us in the main building. This room was much better, and after that we were able to enjoy the rest of our stay. The air conditioning was quite noisy, so we had to turn it off at night. On the positive side, the location is very nice. There is a very good food court right next to the hotel, and George Town is about a 25-minute Grab ride away. Overall, after changing rooms the stay improved significantly, but soundproofing could definitely be better.

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.

The best hotel my family and I have stayed at in Penang. I truly love this hotel and the view from the room is absolutely beautiful. There’s no other choice for me whenever I come here. The room is spacious and very comfortable for a family vacation. 😊

How do I put this? This Hilton offers decent value for money, but it wasn't ideal for someone like me who's a light sleeper. The first room they gave me had a constant humming noise – I'm not sure if it was the exhaust fan or a drainpipe. They did move me to another room where the noise was a bit quieter, but it was still present. On the positive side, the breakfast spread was very generous, and the overall environment and service were excellent. There's a skybridge that leads directly to the beach, and the pool was also very clean and enjoyable, with lots of kids playing there – my own child loved it. The only downside was that it got quite noisy at night. However, the hotel seems to be situated on a higher elevation, so it was wonderfully cool in the evenings. I barely used the air conditioning, as that would probably have been too noisy. Without the AC, it was a bit chilly in the early morning and late evening, but it would definitely be too hot during the day.
