Excellent large, clean, comfortable bedrooms with great views. Tasty breakfasts with an excellent choice. Very convenient location. Quality of food in the revolving retsaurant at the top of the hotel was poor, though views were excellent We loved the hotel and had a great 3 night stay. They had nice big rooms with a big bathroom with all the usual facilities. Beds were very comfortable and there were great views over Georgetown and other parts of the island. Breakfast was also excellent with a good range of both Western and local dishes including brilliant coconut rice with all the trimmings. We didn't try the bar ourselves but our friends did and they said it was good. Staff overall were friendly though sometimes seemed a bit distant. Location couldn't really be much better and it was an easy walking distance to most of the main Georgetown attractions. All this for an astonishingly low price given all that the hotel offered. A great start to our holiday!
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Both the Spice Garden and the Butterfly Garden, a few miles west of Georgetown, are excellent value but often missed by travellers.

Very clean hotel.
The service, the location - we loved it.
The breakfast was nice too. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who visits penang.
We stayed there for three nights, me and my wife. It was a good time. My wife loved the hotel. Its close to the beach and it has a nice restaurant on the top of it and close to so many restaurants.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : A nice chocolate shop near the hotel, check it out.

Is near to the food store and not far from all places in the town. The Indian lady reception is very rude! She forced me to accept the single bed room, I booked for a double! No choice but to sleep so squeeze..with my hubby, the room is not that clean as I thought. Pleasant look from the hotel lobby and the business looks good too, I think a lot of people got cheated by the outlook of this hotel, the breakfast is normal, not as much as I read from the reviews of others...breakfast not so good honestly. Hotel hydro majestic breakfast is very very good!!! I don't think my family and me will ever want to come back to this hotel again...sorry to say this, if you want a comfortable place to sleep and rest definitely not this one.

Location, reception area with fast free internet. In my view the Hotel offers good value for money. It looks impressive from outside, the reception area is nice and room corridors are quiet.
Our room was clean and everything worked well. Staff were pleasant and the pool/gym areas were adequate for a mini work-out and relaxing for an hour.
Breakfast was the only real let-down though the basic essentials were there. Would certainly stay again at the Bayview and can recommend it as a reasonable 3* place to stay
Restaurant Tip : Many good well-priced places to eat nearby.

Room clean and comfortable. Good location to travel around. As we went there during the Ramadan holidays we got a little higher rate than we had previously stayed before @ this hotel.

Centrally located. Value for money. Waking up to the sound of a Chinese school brass band playing Scottish folk tunes is an unforgettable experience. Hence the need for double glazing. They could be heared up to the 10th floor!
The rooms are big, clean and confortable. The staff is, as expected, friendly and efficient. The food is good, but not spectacular.

Swimming Pool
Spa Pool
Good amemities
Large Rooms
Good Breakfast Not near a beach, despite the Bayview! This was a very nice place to stay in Penang. We had been staying in hostels and budget hotels so this place was like a palace for us! The pool is great and the outdoor heated spa lovely, though very quiet and not much atmosphere at the pool area! The revolving restaurant is worth going to. Breakfast is excellent, plenty of choice for all! Its near eveything in georgetown but be prepared for an hour and a half bus ride to the beach- but worth it. I would stay again
Restaurant Tip : Try the indian on Penang Street, very good value for money

A bit worn and tired in parts. Friendly staff, always happy to help out. We try and stay in the Junior suite on the higher floor, nice layout and clean. When we're not in the junior suite, the other rooms tend to be a bit worn and tired. The bar area is again a bit tired, but the entertainment is good and again the staff very friendly. The pool area is compact, but in good condition and a nice place to chillout.

Breakfast is nice, and the hotel is clean. somewhat far to the bus terminal. The king size room has a sea view, it's great. The room is big enough and very clean for staying, and the breakfast is good. In Penang the price for a 4 star hotel is reasonable. If you wanna a quiet area in Georgetown, it's the ideal choice with a low price.

Very close to all the facilities and tourist attractions that Penang has to offer - beautiful pool, great massage and friendly staff. Beer prices a little high but then again go across the road to the 24 hr supermarkets. Indian food just outside the hotel superb
