We stayed for 6 days. Our room was large and comfortable. Everything worked. Ideal location for us to explore old George Town. Staff were exceptional, friendly, courteous, helpful. Big smiles, lots of chats. Special thanks to Lawrence the hotel manager. Enjoyed their special value lunch menu. We recommend this hotel as a good value experience. We'll return to this hotel...

Value for money. We got more than we bargained for. Was there for a friend's wedding reception and the room we got was huge and spacious. The view was quite awesome as we could peer right into the Cheong Fatt Tze mansion. Staff were happy to help and courteous and they catered for the foodie in me. They had maps... More

We stayed here over Chinese New Year 2012. The hotel is excellent. The staff are polite and very very helpful. The service is great. We had a lovely room overlooking the harbour. It was clean and serviced every day. The hotel is in a great position with good views from both back and front, front being the harbour and back... More

Not as per advertise.. Poor road direction; had driven 3 rounds at the hotel to search parking entrance.. Stayed in deluxe upper floor.. Room is ok; spacious but dated decor/materials.. Shower/toilet is large.. Breakfast is so average.. Location wise is ok.. But: even better if one has its own transport for flexi mobility.. More

We were put in an adjoining room and the next door neighbours blared the TV at all hours of the morning and night (and we had a baby we had to get to sleep!). The next night we got the hotel to move us to a non-adjoining room which was much better (and bigger too). The rooms are not big... More

We stayed 4 days in Bayview Hotel. The rooms are nice and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location is very good with all the major tourist attractions and hawkers centers easily accessible. The revolving restaurant thought a bit pricy has great views of Georgetown and should not be missed. The tiffin lunch at one of the... More

We travelled to Penang in December for our 1st anniversary and stayed at the Bayview. The hotel was average and some what felt dated. Although we reached the hotel by 1pm, we got our room only by 3pm since it wasn't ready. The room was nice with a decent view of the Penang bridge. The hotel's restaurant didn't offer much... More
