Bayview Beach Resort Penang

This hotel was perfect for myself and my family, it was just a 20 minute walk from the centre so just far enough away to keep away from the bulk of the noise but close enough to get there quickly. Our room was great and it has a good swimming pool although the pool bar hasn’t been open for some time albeit still advertised as a feature. We were on the 6th floor where the WIFI wasn’t particularly good but it was fine in the lobby and gardens. Good selection of tasty food at breakfast. Quite a lot of road noise at night if your not facing the pool but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to other travellers

Clean room.

Very old facility, not friendly staff, very load motor cycle noise in the evening. Definitely not a proper four star hotel.

Hi This will be the last time we write a review for the Bayview after nearly 30 years of stays due to the closure in October by the new owners for long overdue renovations it really does need. For 99% of the staff I truly wish well with whatever their futures hold for them and good luck in retirement for others as well deserved! We stayed on this occasion for 3 weeks (lucky for us) and we had booked 3 different rooms for all of us as the rest of our family group started arriving only for the last 2 weeks., Our rooms were on the 9th Floor and ours a full sea view, 2nd was a family side sea for my daughters family and a hillside for my adult son. We were there to celebrate my daughters 40th Birthday and all was well and we appreciated some of the challenges the staff had to deal with due to the impending closure. Due to costal erosion a tree had fallen and had to be chain sawed away but noise was kept to a minimum, On the event of her Birthday we could sit at the pool bar and have our drinks served to us there which we thanked the staff for as was an event dating back many years and many birthdays even though it is no longer open as a pool bar. As mentioned at the start that there was one member of staff who even after our return to UK with us raising a serious formal complaint re our sons room & loss of property reported to the night manager on the 5th June has still to be addressed and left a bitter taste in the mouth after so many stays and no issues to bring home.

Have been to Bayview beach hotel before as met our daughter there and found it to be very nice and staff friendly. Location ideal as you can catch 101 bus into George Town and buses run about every 15 minutes for less than £1

The swimming pool is lovely. The room was good and well maintained. The gym has a reasonable set of equipment, but it needs Air Con! way too hot in there. The prices of the food and drinks at pool totally unreasonable. We didn't eat the breakfast. Went to the local roti/curry place across the road.

The room was spacious and clean with a lovely shower and separate toilet and bath. the room was serviced each day and bottled water and towels provided. Tea and coffee making facilities supplied. The breakfast Buffet was well presented with a nice variety of food. The staff were very courteous and attentive. The pool staff were excellent along with the food service poolside staff. We have been holidaying many times at the Bayview Beach Resort and never been disappointed with our choice of venue. congratulations to all the lovely staff who made our holiday such a lovely experience.

Staff great, I understand is be closed for 3 years for a refit

For the money the hotel was spot on, rooms are a tad dated but they are all clean and tidied up daily. The staff are all very friendly and the garden/pool area is nice. Couldn’t ask for more.

Staff was excellent

The hotel was very nice, check in was easy, the staff were very nice, easy to understand and helpful. The restaurant was nicely presented, the pool was amazing as was the ample sunbathing areas. The pool towel hut was always well stocked and the servers were always well presented and kind. There was also a nice area to purchase lunch and drinks through. I recommend the whole coconuts and the fish and chips. The MaiTai and pina colada cocktails were also refreshing. There were also massage people in the sunbathing area. Sun and Ricky (001) were particularly good! The room was BIG, king size bed, balcony, decent enough drawers and a closet. Big TV, big shower, bath and bathroom. Well lit and full floor to cieling balcony doors. However the room had black mould in it. It seemed to be painted over but it didnt help. I googled reviews and there was one tgat spoke about the mould and we spoke to a couple who were staying there when we were there and they had to move rooms twice. My wife and I bought some vinegar and cleaned the walls which made it better. We are also on the understanding that the hotel has been bought by another hotel company who will be renovating it. I hope it gets better as this hotel is pretty good. Just leave out the mould.

Great view, if you're anywhere near ocean side. Towels could be replaced with thicker ones. But rooms, beds, and amenities are great.

Room wss great

The property is so old, room furniture is soooo old and some of them are broken. Tv not working properly and had to ask the reception to send someone to fix it. Safe is not working and had to call someone to fix it. Took too long to have someone to come and make up our room (sent a request at 9am, the person didn’t come until 10:30am). Overall bad experience. Very old hotel :( Wifi is so slow and can’t browse often. Lots of broken furniture. Old furniture. Breakfast os so bad, too many local choices, its not international style. The breakfast is too muslim focused so no pork, i think its not good, as an international hotel. The breakfast variety is also very poor. I struggled to find food to eat. Overall bad dining experience!

Nice pool and grounds. Right next to beach. Large room, nice beds, plenty of hot water. Breakfast good - potato curry was delicious.

Very good

nice pool

This is a worn out hotel. The best days are behind it. It was clean but pictures doesn’t show the real state of this hotel. There are better hotels in this area in this price range.

The AC had a musty/moldy smell which our friends room did not. The bed was also hard. Room was worn and towels were rough. Great view.

Staff are helpful
