I stayed on May 10, 2013. Reservation through Airasia Go. No problem at all during my short stay. Reception process was smooth, room was clean and efficient. Breakfast was fair enough. Even though the beach is not the best one in the area, but it's enough if you want to spend a wonderful time during sun rise / sun set... More

I have had the unfortunate experience of staying at this hotel for a week in Feb/March this year.This hotel has to be the pits. The furnishings like the drapes and chairs were stained and filthy. Some days, the bedsheets were ripped in places and once the king sized bedsheet was actually two singles sewn together. The housekeeping was almost non-existent.... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Flamingo Hotel. The staff were very pleasant. Our room on the 10th floor overlooked the hills and the sea including the floating mosque. Perfection sitting on the balcony either by day or night. Sadly beaches in Penang are not as good as those in Thailand - the presence of jelly fish and colour... More

Clean rooms but quite old--but seem to be well-maintained. You can hear noise of people passing through the hallway. Breakfast, nothing to rave about. When you go to an island resort destination and you see signs of Jelly Fish and swim at your risk---that kinda kill the whole idea of going to a beach hotel. Thailand and The Philippines definitely... More

Wonderful hotel, with affordable pricing. We stayed for 3 nights Deluxe Seaview room. The hotel was very clean and the view from the room is fantastic. I would prefer Tanjung Bungah as compared to Batu Ferringhi as it is centrally located and nearer to town. Breakfast was satisfactory. It is also located just next to the Toy Museum. Children will...

We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights in April 2013. We arrived via the ferry from butterworth into Georgetown. Although local taxis (red) advertise they are metered and cannot haggle no one uses the meter and all prices are fixed in advanced. Fare from the ferry to hotel was RM35. The local bus from the ferry (bus 101or 103)... More
