Mountain View Hotels in George Town

My stay Urban Suites at was fantastic, and the self-check-in process made it even better! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, allowing me to settle in seamlessly without any hassle, even though I arrived late in the afternoon. The property itself was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed to make guests feel right at home. The room was well-equipped with all the essentials, and the attention to detail was impressive. What I loved most was the perfect balance between privacy and convenience. The self-check-in system gave me the freedom to come and go as I pleased. The location was excellent, close to key attractions and local amenities. It was the perfect base for exploring while still offering a quiet and peaceful retreat. Overall, it exceeded my expectations. The self-check-in feature made everything so smooth, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stress-free and comfortable stay. 5/5 stars!

Facilities: All basic facilities are available, the TV is quite large, and the washing machine also has a dryer Sanitation: Clean and tidy, everyone praised it Environment: The second bedroom is slightly smaller, the view from the high floor is great, and you can see the sunrise from the master bedroom

I booked this because of the gym and swimming pool. It fulfilled all my needs. Also the room was facing the sea where I could even see fireworks one night. The host was incredible as he’s helpful and talks like a friend. The room was clean. Just make sure you bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste as it’s not a hotel. Restaurants and night market are 5-10 mins walk to the left once you exit the building.

What a lovely hotel! For the price I was paying, I was not expecting much. But everything, from the hospitality to the room, was amazing! The room itself is spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and wonderful to come back to after a long day of wandering. The air conditioner works great, the shower has actual hot water (not a given in Malaysia, I've found), and the bed is comfortable. The hotel provides extra little touches, like fantastic, thick, large towels for the bathroom and daily water bottles. Netflix and Youtube are connected through the tv, so you always have options. And I was thoroughly impressed by the housekeeping staff, who seemed to do a deep-deep clean every morning. The location is excellent. It's not in the center of downtown, so you don't have the noise and craziness, but it's only a short walk away. Even better, it's super close to Komtar, the main bus terminal. If you are going anywhere too far to walk (or if you don't want to walk far when it's 90 degrees outside!) the free CAT bus and all of the other intracity buses are only a couple of blocks away. It was perfect for coming in on the ferry - I hopped on the free CAT bus, got off at Komtar and walked 5 minutes. I understand as well that the hotel will lend out bikes for use of the guests, but that's not my thing. Something that won't matter to a lot of people, but I loved, was that there are 3 incredible vegan restaurants within a 5-minute walk of the place and great coffee places only a block or two away. Wifi was good. Other than a blip one night when it was slow (I think it was a provider thing, not the hotel), I was getting 15mbps download speed. If I return to Penang, this will definitely be where I stay. Highly recommend!

Overall the experience of the stay is good The space is big, clean and the facility etc. fridge, water dispenser, washing machine, dryer…..are  new and nice. The view from the suite was beautiful too

I would give this hotel a 10/10 rating if I could do it. We’ve spent 2 weeks touring around the Georgetown area and found this gem of a hotel towards the end of our trip. We actually stayed in a hotel a few blocks from it when we first arrived in Georgetown. The staff are amazing so friendly and helpful, the building is well maintained and well thought out. We asked for a room with a view and it was very roomy and well organized. It’s in a great location that puts you in walking distance of old Georgetown and also a short GRAB ride to anywhere in the city. It exceeded my expectations!!! We came to Penang to see if it would be a good place to retire. CitiVilla will be our first destination as we plan to return next winter for an extended stay. A word of advice to anyone coming to Malaysia and other countries in Asia. Windowless rooms are common and be aware that they don’t always meet western fire safety regulations for exits. Always ask to view the room before you take it.

My family stayed here for our 9th anniversary celebration. Everything was smooth from check in and check out. The staff at the counter was very friendly and helpful. Actually, all of them was very accommodating and helpful. What I love most about this hotel are their hospitality and customer service. They are at top notch! During check in, we were served with some complimentary snacks and drinks. Our room was very clean, with swan towel decorations, a mini anniversary cake, some chocolate and a plate of fruits. We were also gifted with two complimentary drinks at the java lounge specially for our anniversary ❤️ Our kids were very busy playing in the pool, at the beach, and inside the kids room. The hotel is very child friendly in which I have no regret choosing this hotel for our staycation. While for food hunting, you can just walk from the hotel as there are many food stalls in short distance. Overall, it was a very memorable stay for us. Thank you PARKROYAL Penang Resort!

Flamingo Hotel Penang offers great value for its price, with a fantastic beachfront location and family-friendly amenities. However, it falls short in areas like cleanliness, room maintenance, and service efficiency. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced beach getaway and are willing to overlook some minor shortcomings, this hotel is worth considering. Rating: ★★★☆☆ Recommended for budget travelers and families seeking a convenient location, but not for those expecting luxury or premium service.

The room that I stayed in at was absolutely breathtaking. It was spacious, elegantly decorated, and had a stunning view of the sea .The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom was luxurious with a large bathtub and a rain shower. I felt like a pampered guest throughout my stay, thanks to the thoughtful amenities provided in the room.
