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 The rooms had a bit of a stale smell and were quite outdated, which was a downside, and the check-in process took longer than expected.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.

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.

My recent stay in room 628 was enjoyable overall. The rooms are spacious, although they could benefit from some refurbishment.

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 service was professional and helpful, although there were long wait times for information. 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.
