“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013

My partner and I stayed at Bayview Hotel in early January this year. The staff members were very welcoming, helpful and hospitable. The accommodation was very comfortable and luxurious and revolving restaurant was a "once in a lifetime" experience. The food was wonderful and sumptious, too. We loved staying at Bayview Georgetown. A lovely place to stay at.

Thanks a million, staff members - keep up your great work!

“Excellent Location, Good Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2013

Brilliant location in Georgetown, close to all the main sights. Hotel is a bit dated but the rooms were well appointed and everything worked well. Our rooms were not sea facing but we had bay windows with a view of Georgetown. Didn't try the food at the hotel so cannot comment on that. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Room Tip: Ask for sea facing, though I think those will cost more...

“Excellent Hotel and Location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

Our family of four recently returned from a wonderful stay at this hotel. The family room was excellent and easily accommodated the four of us with 2 separate rooms. The Georgetown location of this hotel suited us because it was close to everywhere we wanted to go. The Bayview was very clean and had a beautiful eating area. The staff are efficient, effective and friendly. We loved this hotel so much and we have booked to go back there again! There is a great revolving restaurant at the top of the hotel, perfect for a special dinner. Overall a fantastic stay at the Bayview and we definitely recommend it.

Room Tip: For a family, the family room is the best choice.

“Good service and location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

Hotel is older but has been refurbished. Room was clean, carpet could have done with a shampoo though. Mini bar fridge was there but not stocked and the standard amenties were available.

The general breakfast buffet had a good selection but was a bit of a zoo in an area that was poorly lit and not big enough for the number of guests making it hard to move around and very noisy.

In contrast the executive lounge was well worth the extra money, they offered a small american breakfast, evening snacks and all day drinks. The food was good, although it would have been nice to have a different selection each day. The staff were fantastic especially in the lounge where they couldn't do enough to help you.

The hotel had a nice very deep pool, and a large jacuzzi, we saw posters for a spa but didnt recieve any information in our room.

Would stay again if needed to be in the city.

Room Tip: Exective floors are worth the extra money
