We stayed in Penang for 2 nights and both nights in Hydro hotel, it was our first time staying with Hydro. When we arrive, my partner drop off the luggage at the main entrance, the bellman was fast to attend to our luggage which gave us a good impression of the hotel. I waited 10 to 15minutes to be served... More

I believe back in the day, this Hotel was up there with the best. Those days are long gone... I can not fault the service and friendly staff that greeted us, they were fantastic. The rooms were very bad and needed some attention. We booked a suite and the roof had serious damage from dampness. Around the light switch they... More

Back in October 2011, we stayed at The Hydro in Penang for seven nights. Although we arrived early, we only had to wait a few minutes before we got into our room. Very comfortable beds, lovely view of the sea. The buffet breakfast, although a wide variety, was average. One day, my husband and I ate something that gave us... More

This hotel is a great value for money. I had a marvelous time staying here as the breakfast was decent and the room was clean. Although some of the equipment is quite old it didn't bother me much. The sleep is amazing the pillows are so comfortable and the beds are amazing. As for transport I really did not have... More

Stayed in Hydro for 3 nights around NYE 2012. The hotel was quite full and it made our morning breakfasts a hassle. But other than that it seemed quiet. The building, decoration, overall experience needs a rejuvenation. It really feels like this place would have been awesomely avant-garde in the 70s but now it's just old. Though the bed is... More

I wasn't expecting much from this hotel but when i got there i wanted to leave. The service was terrible. First off we waited 2 hours to get our rooms past checkin time, then when we did get one room out of 3 rooms we had booked we had to put all our bags into that room and wait longer... More

We stayed here for a week in late December. Based on reviews here, we went for a VIP Suite, and I'm happy we did. VIP suites are all at the beach end of the hotel, with one very large balcony equipped with sun lounges and one smaller balcony with table and chairs. Views are good, looking across the sea to...

The hotel was not that attractive as it advertised. In terms of its interior, it was just passable. The room which I had booked was the executive deluxe with sea view. Expected a superb view and a gorgeous room however it turned out to be a dissapointment. Other than the spaciousness of the room, there was nothing special. In order... More
