“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

The housekeeping service too slow.. Took them 6 hours to deliver towels to our room.. & that was after our 3rd call to the front desk & they say "going now"
Room facilities a bit old with not functioned remote control..
Others so far okay...

“Quiet environment”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012 via mobile

Room is quiet to be stayed in. The room is clean and spacious enough. However the parking need to be improved as the space for us to make turning is very limited. Besides, variety of breakfast is not as good as per comment

“Nice seaview room and lovely breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

Our room has a good view facing the pool & the sea, it was splendid! We spend most our time either in the pool or at the beach. Massage & spa is available right next to the pool. The location is perfect. just nearby Batu Feringgi town which is so happening during night time.

The room was very clean and tidy, with plenty of towels and robes for everyone (note: robes won't fit the larger family members but let's face it - we probably need a diet anyway!). Room-service is fast and efficient and the restaurants are great.


A 20 minute drive will take you to Gurney Drive to sample Penang's glorious hawker fare.

“Hotel ok but don't go for the beach”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

Hello everyone, we stayed (3 adults and 2 small kids - 4 & 1 y.old) for 3 nights in this hotel. Although we were the only guests, the check in took over half an hour with crying children, at least they allowed us to get into the room at noon (usually room is free at 3pm). Very big clean rooms with confortable beds, tea/coffee/waterboiler and water bottle free, small fridge, quiet, bathroom needs renovation. We stayed on the 4th floor. Room 428 would get very warm very quickly and the air con is quite old so it would freeze you in a second because it comes directly on the beds (even if it's on the minimum). Room 427 (on the other side) stayed cool almost all night long even without air con.
Swimming pool : is not very big but nice.
Food: we only had breakfast: good food, a lot of choice (croissants, cereals, chinese and indian malay food, sprinrolls, 4 sorts of bread, fruits, fresh scrambled eggs, porridge,...)
We were EXTREMLY disapointed with the beach that is next to the hotel. Firstly for a family with small kids it's quite impossible to get there with a strolley (from the hotel there is a bridge over the road and then MANY stairs), the beach itself is OK (more or less clean) but there were wild dogs near to the street and on the beach (almost everywhere in Penang actually we saw those wild dogs even in the city center). The water wasn't very clear and it would get very deap already near to the beach so not good for children or even adults. (could not play in the water because of the uneven ground). The hotel is far from everything so you need to spend some money on taxis if you want to go anywhere (eat, beach, sightseeing).
