Find Bungalows in Penang, Malaysia

Good afternoon..i stay at hotel sentral seaview penang for one night. First impression when i step in the hotel the feeling was nice and good because nowdays bit hard to find the concept hotel like this. I suggest this hotel can go for rating star 4 star because this hotel got facilities of swimming pool n the environment was comfortable. Suggest that can put more effort in the local facilities like promote malaysia culture. this will help you all to get 4 star. Besides that, the signboard for entry to hotel must clear at the road side because it bit hard to find when at night with no lighting at the hotel when look from outside. Lastly, nice place to stay n good environment. Will again next time with family and try the food in hotel. Have a nice days

Stayed: 2 Night, Sky Terrace Suite Thumbs up: Chris meeting us upon arrival at the lobby & gave us speedy check in. Ensuring us for a room as we were early. Went for lunch & chris met us at the hotel’s restaurant( makan kitchen) personally to pass the room cards to us ensuring everything is all ready. Shanaka: for always checking up on my partner & i. Asking about the quality of the food & remembered that we didnt finished our nasi goreng even asked if there was something wrong. Went the extra miles to find a florist near the hotel that i could arrange for flower delivery for my partner. Beautiful room, nice view. Warm staffs from start to end. Truly a DoubleTree standard. The best DoubleTree in Malaysia. Staffs from JB & KL should learn from Penang as staffs here are way more warmer & friendlier.

i stayed here with a mate of mine in may 2010. this was both of our first trip to penang. the bayview is an older hotel, but has been done up quite nicely. we had an absolutely awesome stay. the price was very reasonable. the breakfast included in the reservation was excellent. this hotel is a little way out of town, but we thought this was a benefit. (7 ringit taxi to he shops is nothing, or a nice walk). long beach is a must. we ate there every night. it is about a kilometre from the hotel. head down there at night for cheap, amazing food and beer. you will find all the aussie, british travellers here. everyone who has been to penang a few times goes here every night. across the road from the bayview is a cafe called enca. this place is owned by a little guy from bangladesh i think. this place is awesome for brekkie, lunch or dinner and very reasonably priced. also across the road is atu2 tour company. ask for mr ben or mr anwar and tell them bill and reg from australia sent you. we met these guys on our first day. they took us on a very reasonable day trip onto the main island up toward the malaysian thai border. we had an absolute ball. these guys are very trustworthy and will go out of their way to help you with any tours, car hire or transfers. club 69 is a new place on the main shopping strip. if ur young head down this way for an amazing night! the venue is out of this world, with a pool, sunken bar area, lounges, dj, everything. all in all, we loved penang. it was the highlight of our trip and we made alot of friends from all over the world. amazing

very good location, best service, clean and niceroom/ Very worthy money. if back penang again, I ll stay this hotel again and again. all this malaysia trip, i hv visited kl,melaka then penang,hv been there 9 days. But this hotel sentral georgetown is the most impression. price is quite cheap if compare the service, nice clean room, location of hotel. really worth.

1st time we came to Penang, we stayed here because of the location. It is at the very top of jalan penang and there are so many things around. Bars behind the hotel, places to eat within 2 minutes walk, street market within 3 minutes and at the end of the street market, shopping centers are pretty much accross the road! Although there are other hotels that are located on jalan penang itself, bayview still wins hands down on location. The fact that its at the top of the street means a slightly quieter atmosphere. I mean, you don't want to step out of the hotel 1st thing in the morning to see some locals sleeping on the street, do you? Because that's what you'd get if you stay at the hotels on jalan penang. The band they constantly have performing each night is very good too. Sometimes after a hot day walking around or shopping or whatever you do in penang, you just want to relax and have a drink or two and listen to the band singing your all time favourites and do shout outs when you request a song (or 10!). We came back to penang a year later. And even though we originally wanted to stay in a resort around batu ferringhi, we decided we loved bayview the 1st time and we'd show that appreciation by returning. And were we glad we did. We arrived in the island quite late and was exhausted. We checked in at about 11:30 pm and Izhan (forgot the spelling of the name) asked if this was our first time in penang, so we told him we were there the previous year. After what seemed like 5 seconds, he thanked us for returning to bayview and upgraded us from superior room to premier! That's not even the next level of room up (superior then deluxe then premier then suite). At 11:30 at night after a long flight, I don't ever remember having much energy but I was jumping up and down. So thank you! Overall, aside from location, value, facilities available and all other things they advertise, experience like mine is not something you always get at other hotels. Thumbs up

My stay at The Light exceeded expectations! There was a bit of a delay at check in, but not too long a wait. Room quality is top notch, bed and pillows ultra-comfortable, complimentary mini bar (nice touch), while the shower was extremely strong and hot (excellent). Wifi was strong, breakfast was brilliant. Room service offerings were also very good. I have a new favorite in Penang. On the downside, pool is a little small (and closes too early at 7pm), gym is not too bad. Easily the best hotel in mainland Penang.

Out of the 5 hotels which we stayed in Malaysia, this was the best. We contacted all hotels, notifying them it was for our honeymoon and this was the only establishment to make an effort. Not only did they upgrade our room, the daily housekeeping was most thoughtful. On every occasion, our housekeeper left a pleasant gesture and ensured she made our stay memorable. Located in Batu Ferenghi, it's constantly a buzz from the local night markets and eateries but it still a trek away from Georgetown and major shopping complexes. But this shouldn't be a put off as transports links are frequent and fast. Our only negatives point is the constant presence of tiny brown ants. This was reported and facilities were very quick to respond. It certainly did not put off our stay as this has to be expected from staying by the coast. It's just natural life nearby. The Parkroyal is a wonderful hotel, I met a family there who go to Penang quite reguarly, they have stayed in Parkroyal 8 times! It's no wonder as the service is second to none.

Definitely good quality and well-maintained hotel with a comfortable rooms, good breakfast and friendly staff. The territory is nice and eye-catching. I liked the quiet room despite the road view from my window, and a hi-speed internet connection - which is wide enough to download movies. The breakfast is also nice and serves fresh juices, I liked their carrot juice :)). Some downsides: - Far from the main shopping centers - The sea is not clean anyway, like in any place of Penang. Nobody was swimming - Too many people in the hotel, busy atmosphere - For the price paid you can get a 5-star hotel in some other parts of Malaysia, like Borneo - Nexus resort - a real haven!

Had my Stay with my partner in the Corner Suite of Royale Chulan Penang over the weekend as a short Getaway. Upon arrival, I was greeted politely by the front desk officers at Royale Chulan Penang. Check-in process was swift and our lugguge were safely kept by their conceige. The room were neat and tidy when we entered, you can tell that their housekeepers did a great job. In room dining service were fast and timely, our food were delivered within 20 minutes upon order. We also had a chance to try out the Royale spa at Royale chulan Penang, therapist Prema and Vie provide an excellent and professional services. Well done! Overall all the staff that we met were polite and always greet us with a smile. The hotel were located walking distance away from the popular spots in penang, you can either choose walk and enjoy the beautiful streets or can simply GrabCar around the town. A big thank you to all the staff in Royale Chulan Penang for making our stay an awesome one.

Even i had only 1 night here, but I was so happy to stay here with what they offered, the price is super affordable as a 4 stars hotel, their staff is super nice to me for check in process, i had a late check in but still able to request to have higher level and approved. The view from my room is beautiful and i feel the best hotel ever i stayed in Penang. I wish i could have a longer stay at this moment in the future.

With so many hotel choices in Penang, Malaysia, I had to choose the right one to fulfill my business needs, especially because I had to do the business in just one night. Then the Sunway Hotel Seberang Jaya Penang crossed my mind. The Sunway Hotel Seberang Jaya Penang was a perfect place to stay. Its strategic location served me what I need, the nearest place to my business location. Without further hesitation, I chose the hotel. Designed with a wonderful taste of Asia, this hotel is like a small Malaysia packed in one place. Terrific hotel rooms with wonderful dining area and good service, not to mention the nearest place to my business needs, surely is a perfect place for a night in my business trip.

Overall clealiness is very good. All cups, kettle and toilet are clean but the towel has a smell like not properly dried. No toothbrush or toothpaste provided so remember bring you own. Toilet paper is provided upon requested. The water drainage system seem not so good, water at the shower place drain slowly. You can see the water flooded inside that area after bathe. The heater is not really function well as the water is not hot enough but staff is efficient enough to help and fix it, credit to the effeciency. The room is tidy and clean. It is located near the terminal ferry and railway station. If you come by train this would be convenient to stay and you can take ferry to go Penang Island. It has convenient store just beside the the hotel, you can equipped with items that you need easily.

When I first booked the hotel, didn't know what to expect since it's located in a 'not so happening' area of Penang. What greeted me simply blew me away: a modern hotel with very friendly & attentive staff. Check in was very straightforward & since I had already informed the hotel about my wheelchair bound mum, they even had it ready for her! The staff are always smiling & greeting you at every available opportunity. They even offered free cotton candy from the cotton candy maker located next to d reception. The welcome drink and cold face towel were so refreshing too. The room is not too big but very tastefully decorated with modern fittings. The king-sized bed was massive! Very comfy & soft pillows too. All items found in d mini bar are free (coke, water bottles & a can of Chrysanthemum tea). It's an open wardrobe here. Bathrobe is provided. TV has a number of good Astro channels. Breakfast was the best: awesome variety & delicious. Free coffee at lobby. Will definitely come again.

It was a great experience choosing this hotel from we first checked in till checked out. Hotel receptions were friendly and helpful. Room is super clean, however the hotel should check out the Room 347 as the water on the shower floor wasn't properly going into the drain because the floor is not slope enough, thus shower room was wet all the time during our stay. The location of the hotel is only about 3mins walk to Penang Peranakan Mansion, 10mins walk to Little India, and 15mins walk to the famous Penang Street Art, and plenty of eateries & cafes around. Wanted to rate 5 stars for the staffs but I rated 4 due to an incident, we were badly treated by one of the waitress (Ms. M) of the hotel's restaurant - The Glasshouse when we dined on our last day of stay on 21Aug2019. Fortunately, the Manager - Vincent heard us, took immediate action, apologized on the waitress' behalf & comforted us. Once again, thank you so much to Vincent.

I wanted to stay in this part of Penang near the shopping and eating areas and booked at the Kimberley. I was a bit nervous with this choice after reading so many bad reviews. Upon arrival I was met with a very efficient and quick check in staff. After getting in my room I was pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful and clean room. I first cranked up my iPad and telephone and the wifi was smokingly fast. The air condition worked perfectly and the shower was one of the best if had in asia with plenty of pressure AND no flooding in the room as mentioned in some of the reviews. The TV had enough English speaking and sports channels but the internet was so good I just plugged in my chromcast ant watched my favorite channels. If I want to be picky I could say they didn't serve bacon. I'm surprised someone didn't complain about that. Breakfast had an Asian flair with the noodle dishes, chicken, rice and vegetables. They did have scrambled eggs, baked beans, and chicken ham sausage. Not a proper Full English breakfast but excellent for the room price paid. And let's not forget the excellent security guard who goes above and beyond his job to assist with bags or offer assistance with any questions one may have.

We recently went to Penang for medical purpose. We thought Berjaya is near to Island Hospital. But we were wrong. Berjaya is the most suitable place if you are visiting Adventis Hospital. However, we had a pleasant stay. The staffs are friendly, the room is clean and even our booking is without breakfast, the hotel only charge us additional RM12 per person for buffet breakfast. The breakfast at RM12 really surprised us as it has many selections and the price is just too good to be true. At the beginning, we were disappointed as the exterior does not reflect a 4 star hotel but we ended up feeling satisfied.

I have been to all Lexis group hotel in Malaysia and so far it does not disappoint. This include Lexis Suites Penang. Pros: - Spacious room enough for my whole family (2+3 kids), - Clean private pool and sauna - Excellent room services - Great in-room entertainment - The staff told me that everything in the freezer is free, and there are 2 pack of m&m's and 4 can of soft drinks. It may not much, but this is a nice gesture that other hotels could take example. Usually, in other hotels, the only free thing in the freezer is mineral water :D. - Definitely a value for money. It maybe expensive but it is worth it as you can actually spend a whole day in the hotel as it offer lot of activities for your family (pool, gym, excellent kids area, remote control car track) without spending additional dime. Cons - Location. The hotel situated in an uninterested areas of penang surrounded by rural area. There is no interesting place within walking distance, you will have to drive to see the best of Penang. It does have a seaview though. - The food (in room services) could be improved. It is expensive, but personally I have experiences better food with less price in other hotels.

Stayed here for 5D4N, and my experience was good. Hotel feels new, and feels luxurious even though it was a 3-star hotel. Well-prepared facilities, friendly staff, excellent location (walking distance to food courts). The only drawback I could think of is the optional buffet breakfast of RM15 per person which is slightly on the high side. Otherwise, if I have another work-related travel to Penang around Georgetown, this hotel would definitely be my 1st choice.

The hotel room is petite but the cleanliness of the entire room is impressive for a 2 Star Hotel. We were lucky as onr of our room has a beautiful seaview better than any 5 Star hotel in Ferringhi. The bathrooms is very clean and a reasonable good size. Would definitely request tobfriends and family. We encountered a problem when we booked online with Agoda.com. We keyed in our room reservations for 2 Std Room at USD37 a night stay (16-17 Aug 2016) without breakfast but when we checked into the hotel, the Front Office Desk informed us our booking was bfor 2 Std Room x 2 Nights (17-19 Aug 2016) and my credit card was charged fir RM658.19. The hotel staff helped us by giving us Agoda.com customer service to rectify our room reservations date to change for 1 night stay instead of 2 nights. Got a mail from Agoda.com that they refund me the balance of RM329.00 after minus our our room stay for 1 night and it will take at least 30 days to get back my balance of money refund. The online booking is rather confusing otherwise we enjoyed our stay very much at Cititel Express Penang. Will definitely be back next time on holiday in Penang

Had a one night stay during my recent business trip. Everyone was saying that this is the best hotel they had ever stay of all the business trips we travelled around Malaysia. Back to this hotel, I would say the location is quite strategic and there is a shopping mall beside this hotel. This hotel is quite near to Penang bridge so if you opt to travel to the island for a visit is definitely not a major issue but provided you must have a car to travel around to try the local food. Hotel room is spacious, clean, modern, air-conditioner is very cooling, touch and go security to access to the rooms, free wifi provided, security box, breakfast was good and comparable to Cititel Penang and Bayview Hotel in the island. This hotel is a much better choice for both business or family vacation as compare to the opposite road Pearl View Hotel which is a nightmare for me.

I've frequently travel and stay in Penang. I had stay in so many hotel surrounding Penang area. For this time it was the best memory. It is because the hotel facility, the hotel services and the food was good. It's really 5 star hotel services. I stayed in deluxe sea facing room, in a high floor. When i woke from sleep, look at the window, Woww...it was so beautiful. In the evening we can walk form hotel and enjoy the beautiful scenery. There are a lot of shopping complex with branded stuff,a lot of restaurant and food stall as well, serve with nice food. Overall it was the best choice.

This hotel is above my expectation. The location is good with secured parking. The room is larger than I thought and washroom is huge too. I like the wooden design of the room. On top of that, there is a massage chair to release our tiredness. Buffet is nice with wide selection of food. Staffs are friendly and their service is excellent. For price below RM 200, I would say this is the best hotel I ever stayed in Penang.

Me and my wife decided last minutes on this hotel for our honeymoon stop over in Malaysia. The hotel is great and nice room with comfortable bed. Good bathroom to. Good rest throughout stay. Great location with nearby shopping malls. The treatment overall was beyond my expectations for what I thought was a good tourist class. Make sure book a room on high floor and facing the front, you will see a good view including a longest bridge connect from mainland to Penang. Overall, the is a great hotel with reasonable price! with friendly staff. If some of you compare this hotel to a 5 Star hotel then you won't! You cannot expect more than what you pay for. For me is a good stay and good room with friendly staff. Well done Team.

The lobby staff was very friendly as i check in. The porter was very kind to carry our luggage although we only have little luggage. We stay at top floor (15th floor) but the lift was fast to reach from lobby. Room and Interiors was the best that i ever stayed in all Malaysia Hotels. Their fittings and deco was modern which match the four star hotel. Breakfast buffet was OK to me although very little choice but they do provide all the famous like roti canai, nasi lemak, pancake and etc but taste was not too bad. Location was in the residential area in Penang Island. The view from window was magnificient. If public transport in Penang is very convenient then this hotel can be recommended or else have to have a car.

1) The hotel is at the centre of the old town area, and the Komtar bus interchange is just behind our hotel, very suitable for 1st-timer visiting Penang. You can identify Komtar even from far, as there aren't many tall buildings near it. 2) There's a few shopping malls around the Hotel. But don't expect luxurious branded shopping experience there, it's more for your daily / family groceries shopping. But we managed to grab a big handicrafted scarf with nice pattern at RM$10. Pls note that drinks and other items in our room's minibar are chargeable. So we conveniently bought some fruit juice, yoggurt and snacks from one of the supermarkets there, at about RM$16. 3) There are quite some famous food stalls in the hotel's vicinity, could locate them from the map picked up from the airport. But do prepare for a fair bit of walking, allow enough time before your stomach roars, as these stalls are scattered around the town. It's ok if you lost your way, just ask around politely, the people in Penang are very friendly, and most of those that I spoken to, could speak English well. Quite easy to move around using the public bus, and it's not costly. 4) We prefer Batu Ferringhi in the day than night. The weather was so fine the day we went, we have captured plenty of shots with clear blue sky & nice beach. In the evening, most of the night market stalls that stretched along both sides of the road are selling similar souvenir, not very attractive. But will still be good, if Penang is your 1st stop in Malaysia. 5) One afternoon, we visited the famous temple - Kek Lok Si, we climbed quite many steps lined with souvenir stalls before reaching it. The temple is quite huge, and it's still undergoing renovation. It's surrounded by hills and a bit of suburb residential area, thus, it's rather quiet and peaceful there. 6) In conclusion, it'a good relaxing holiday, suitable for a short trip.

GLOW Penang was really a surprise as when we booked the hotel, we knew it was 3 stars and thus managed our expectations accordingly. But honestly, GLOW should be rated 4 in terms of service, cleanliness and rooms. Their buffet breakfast was really good for a 3 star hotel. There were pastries, savouries (like rice or noodles) and cereals. Their scrambled eggs are awesome and keeps running out fast, so be sure to get yourself a generous scoop! They also had a pool and a pool bar, which my friend and I frequented for the ambience. Their in-room service was also efficient. When we checked in, there were no towels so we made a call to reception. We went out of our room after that. When we returned, we wanted to put a call to reception to remind them about the towels, but to our pleasant surprise the towels were already there. Impressive! One thing which I feel they could improve was to have 24-hour in-room dining. Yes there are a lot of eateries outside the hotel, and they have a restaurant from 9am to 5pm, but it'll be nice to have the option of munching something at night in the comfort of our room. But that's a small matter. I will definitely come back to GLOW on my next trip to Penang!

the hotel is surprising in many ways. its layout is quite different from the usual. the architecture is very modernistic and clean cut. the staff are polite and helpful. there is ample outdoor parking. wifi is free. the hotel is the oldest in penang but after extensive renovation is possibly the most modern. it's right on the ferringhi beach, with ample shopping and food options, as well as taxi ranks, within easy walking distance. a variety of water sports - paragliding, jet skiing etc - is available on the beach. the food at the bungalow, the indoor/outdoor restaurant/coffee shop near the beach, is very good. however, the matsu japanese restaurant food needs improvement (the hotel gave us a complementary dinner there.)

Don't be taken aback when you reach the hotel - its main entrance is a convenience store. Basically, at first look, you won't be able to relate the building as a hotel as you will be welcomed by the convenience store. Within it, you will take the flight of stairs up to your room. The layout of the room is simply beautiful and it has the modernize design. Location wise, accessible to Penang Street Art and Chew Jetty. Will not hesitate to book this place during my next visit to Penang

Well, this is one of the best and comfortable refurbished hotel in Tanjung Bungah Penang Island. Starwood Group recently took over this property in penang. Formerly was Tg Bungah Hotel which not very popular in island. Food quality are average, however we found that in-room dining like tit-bit and beverages price are really reasonable which compare to other hotel in malaysia. Beer cost you only RM5 per can. They come with a package.Overall, very comfortable to stay. We will back again whenever we visit Penang !
