Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is strategically located at the center of Georgetown, making it very convenient for exploring the area. The rooms had a bit of a stale smell and were quite outdated, which was a downside, and the check-in process took longer than expected. However, the service was very friendly and helpful, especially the bellboy. The location is fantastic, near many attractions in George Town, but unfortunately, there were noise issues like a 5:30 am alarm next door. The dining experience was enjoyable, offering a good variety of local food, but seemed a bit overpriced. Overall, the hotel facilities were decent, providing a comfortable stay despite some room issues.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with superb views of the strait, though not as depicted in the pictures. The service was warm and accommodating, fulfilling my requests promptly. Its excellent location in the heart of George Town allows for easy exploration of iconic attractions. The dining options were satisfactory but could be improved with more variety.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were massive, offering a sweeping view of the sea but the rooftop restaurant & bar operated separately. The location was great for exploring the main attractions, but might be inconvenient for check-in with luggage. The service was friendly and professional, while the dining options could be improved for a better experience.
Upon my recent stay at Bayview Penang, I found the room to be clean and comfortable, though the shared door with the neighboring room allowed for noise to easily pass through. The staff at the reception was friendly and helpful, but there were some inconsistencies in the information provided. The location was convenient for exploring the city and nearby heritage sites. Dining options were good overall, but there was room for improvement in terms of the price paid. The hotel lacks a barrier for kids in the swimming pool, which can be a concern for families.

The hotel rooms were nice, better than the pictures, but not tidy throughout our stay; unfortunately, there was no soundproofing, causing disturbances from people in the vicinity.

The location was ideal for exploring George Town on foot, near many interesting places, but the outdoor pub was too loud. The dining experience varied from really good with a great variety to just ok. The facilities were modernizing with great service, but with room for improvement around the pool area.
