Although the location is a good one, and the resort has a small part of lovely beach, it's a shame it's been commercialized with speedboats all over so that swimmers do not have a chance to swim. More importantly, the reservation and front desk coordination was terrible with booking errors causing long waiting and heated discussions during check-in and check-out.... More

We stayed here in January 2012 for a couple of nights as part of a 2 week honeymoon trip to Malaysia. We had a room on the 19th floor in the tower (without sea view) and thought it was great value for money - spacious, nicely decorated, quiet, nice balcony. Food at the restaurant was good and the bar/pool/restaurant area... More

This is a very convenient hotel to begin with. They are located in the middle of the stretch in batu ferringhi. The impression I get from their lobby is that they don't change that much back in the 90s. However when we stepped into their rooms they are spacious and newly renovated rooms. Very satisfying indeed. Plus they have their... More

We booked two double rooms with sea view in the tower block during Chinese New Year and were very pleased with the standard of the room, comfort of the beds and overall ambience of the place. The Ferringhi tower was a good choice, quieter than the beach side and the upper floor [sea view] afford superb views of the beach... More

I arrived when there was a number of events and some international sports visitors. I got upgraded from the room I booked on the beachside because of the mass crowds staying at the hotel. At first I didnt like the fact I was on the other side and I had to treck daily over and across the bridge. Having said... More

While it does somewhat come of as a 3 star hotel, it seems pretty decent for families. It does have that 80's type of feel but is really well kept and clean. The rooms are comfy and the beds were just right for our family of 4 (2 adults and 1 kid and 1 toddler). The pool is big enough... More

My husband and two children (twins aged 8) stayed here over the recent Chinese New Year holiday. Being near the beach and the night markets was terrific and the staff were always friendly and helpful. No complaints about the buffet breakfast - great selection! The size of the beds were a little disappointing as I was told that we had... More

While the Holiday Inn boasts a 4 star rating, it has 3 star service and 2 star food. We stayed here over CNY for 6 nights and while some guests have used this busy time as an excuse for poor service, I'm not letting the hotel staff get away this easily - loads of families have paid hard earned money...

Arrived in the evening although check in was smooth, the noise from the band made it impossible to hear. Room was to the usual Holliday Inn standard (good) but the air conditioning was ineffective and the room was far too hot at night. Whether you should visit Battu Ferenghi at all is another matter. An extremely busy road forms its... More

We chose this hotel for it's location in batu ferrenghi which is close to hawker food (long beach cafe) and night markets. It is a long drive to georgetown where there is more interest but there doesn't appear to be any hotels that provide kids suites there. Holiday inn and golden sands seem to be the only two.
