We arrived at 1am on a Sunday night after a 12 hour day mostly spent on planes, or waiting in airports. All we wanted was a place to sleep for a few hours before we met up with friends and started our holiday at Batu Ferringih. The Bayview Georgetown was more than a place to "crash", it was very comfortable,... more

The hotel is ok, as every bayview hotels, nothing to add. We have been disappointed with the tour operator inside the hotel, as we get to pulau Payar Marine Park , and they told us 1h30 to get there...it takes actually 2h30, 3 hours to stay at the park and then 2h30 to return back. We ask also for the... more

Stayed there for 2 nights with my 2 young children in the Junior Suite. The room is small with a king bed, where as the living room is huge, not sure what the point is to make it such a way. Toilet is spacious but there's lots of stains/mold everywhere. Probably housekeeping didn't do a good job in keeping the... more

Bayview Georgetown is a city hotel located 5 minutes away from the famous Jalan Penang. The hotel is not new, but location is perfect. The superior twin room we were given was alright. Again, the hotel is weary thus the room was a bit musky smelling, and the beds were sunken. The bathroom was small, but it is ok with... more

Booked into Bayview for 3 nights on a 2 week holiday incorporating KL, Penang & Singapore. Only stayed for 2 of the nights, the hotel was average, what can you really expect for £30 a night? I know it's Asia and hotels are cheap but Penang seems to be more expensive for accommodation. The room was average, as with other... more

Stayed here 3 nights in September 2009. Not much complaints. Value for money (RM178.25 per night with breakfast for 2) Superior Room size is more than adequate. Nice view of Georgetown with Penang Bridge on the left and Gurney Drive on the right. In-room internet is at RM20 a day (did not use it). Location-wise, at the upper end of... more

Bayview Georgetown is placed wonderfully, just around the corner there’s a hawkers ground where you can eat the best food for next to nothing, live music till late, great waiters who I’ve made friends with and all the fun in the world. The hotel’s not that bad looking from the outside and the lobby looks very nice too. Very friendly... more

I stayed at the Bayview Hotel, Georgetown, Penang during a two month backpacking trip through Asia where I was also meeting with people to gather research for my graduate research. Funding the trip myself meant I was staying in hostels/guesthouses/budget hotels for my whole stay so when I was offered a free hotel stay during my visit to Penang I... more

I really don't know how this hotel has been given 4 stars!!! We had a horrible 5 night stay here. To be called a luxury hotel is an absolute joke. We had cockroaches in the room and when we complained they did absolutely nothing to help. The showers were cold and when asked why they said because they were full,... more
