Sea View Hotels in Penang, Malaysia

Bayview Hotel Georgetown Penang is a well-located, value-packed option with a standout rooftop dining experience—best suited for those who can overlook its dated look and occasional service hiccups. If you prioritize convenience, ambience, and space without needing modern finishes, it’s a solid choice..

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.

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!

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

I had a pleasant stay at Vouk Hotel Suites in Penang. The hotel is in a great location, making it convenient for exploring the island. However, the car park tends to fill up around 7:30 p.m., but I truly appreciated the security guard’s assistance in allocating parking spaces. The room I stayed in did not have a window, which affected airflow and made it less ideal for a family stay. On the positive side, the hotel maintained good security and cleanliness, which made our trip more relaxing. The front desk staff were warm and kind, providing excellent assistance during check-in. One downside was the absence of a gym or swimming pool, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it's a good option for those prioritizing location, cleanliness, and security.

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.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Booked via Trip for 1 room for 1 night (19 to 20 June 2025). Breathtaking view of city and partial sea view from our room. 1st time stayed with CITITEL PENANG. Super nice hotel. Great hotel. Everytging was nice. Great location, great service, friendly staff. Good value for the money. Check in was smooth and friendly service. I was very impressed with the Ms USEZANA & Ms SUZANNA, professionalism. Such professionalism and services from both ladies definitely need to be highlighted. They are was such an amazing welcoming and so kind, it made my stay very enjoyable and leading us to the foc drinks. Totally I truly appreciate your kindness. Next, breakfast had a wide spread and i loved the DIY coffee machine. Often crowded but seats were readily available. Thank you Breakfast also was delicious. Water dispenser was just outside our room. It's fantastic and eco friendly. Not forgetting housekeeping who also did a fantastic job. Overall, highly recommended to those planning a holiday in Georgetown, Penang. Thank you for the warm hospitality given to us during our stay. Everything was more than perfect! On my next stays, I will definitely check into CITITEL PENANG Hotel again😍

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.

Because other floors are being renovated, the room is full of strong decoration smell. I couldn't find the front desk because it's a homestay, but the owner was nice and came to open the door for us very quickly. The furniture is a bit rotten and old, but the balcony view is really good. But there are a lot of debris on the beach, some branches and so on, the beach is relatively poor
