I have been staying in this hotel on and off over the years. Last time the rooms were run down and not exactly comfy. However, after the makeover the wing with the newly refurbished rooms are nice. The room is of normal size,comfy for 1 or a couple. The shower cubicle is a bit small but the hotel provides all... More

I usually stay in this hotel for my business trips to Penang. Its located near the airport and major industrial zone. Its perfect for the business traveller but not so great if you are on holiday as its far away from town and the main tourist attractions. Its one of the older design hotels with a huge atrium lobby. It... More

It is the best hotel near the airport, but doesn't have any particular attraction near by, except the golf course. Better chose the executive rooms, recently renovated, which also give access to the lounge. Breakfast is simple but ok. Rooms are big enough and have balcony. There is a parking and a couple of restaurants, an international buffet and a... More

Stayed for four nights attending a conference in the hotel... Location: on a hillside... views include Queensbay Mall and Penang Bridge... Room: Comfortable... nicely furnished... Breakfast was very good... variety wide... taste was good... Transport: took the hotel transport to Queensbay Mall for shopping... Overall, not too bad but if not for the conference, I would probably not stay there... More

Sits on the hill overlooks the city and harbour. Very spacious lobby with open air and nice tropical garden. The room is modern and clean. with balcony. Very reliable Wi-Fi. Free bottle water and newspaper everyday. Breakfast and dinner buffet is better than most hotel but pricey. Gym is big and very well equipped, almost feel like a regular gym,... More

Close to the airport - 10 mins, great pool with waterfall. Very comfortable rooms in the Executive wing. Equipped with squash courts, gym and tennis courts. Good cafe, pretty good food. Beautiful koi pond and a nice forest walk. Not too far to the city - 30mins. We had a noisy partying neighbouring room in the middle of our stay... More

The online reservation system was easy to use. The trip from the Penang airport to the Equatorial hotel was a short taxi ride. The check-in was quick and was offered a ocean view room without asking. The hotel has rooms in 4 towers connected by a beautiful large central atrium. Did not use the pool but it was large and... More

We spent our year-end holiday here. Initially, we had booked only for two nights, but we extended by one more night. Some good experiences we had at Equatorial Penang are; * Spacious rooms (all rooms are newly renovated and Club rooms come with a private veranda, but internet is not free-- RM50 for 24 hours) * New Club lounge is...

I have travelled to Penang many times for business, and after staying at two other hotels, found the Equatorial Hotel to be the best option. Its in a quiet location, has a lot of natural light, and the best staff - courteous and efficient. While I normally prefer the "back" or business wing, even the main hotel has excellent rooms.... More
