Ocean View Hotels in Penang, Malaysia

I booked a sea-view room right next to Gurney Drive. It was convenient to grab a meal downstairs, and the breakfast was excellent. The pool is on the second floor and open until 8 PM, but it gets no sun after 4 PM. A dip in the pool was perfect for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing. The service was superb and very attentive.

My family had a wonderful stay at this homestay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing experience. The place was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The room was cozy, the bed was comfortable, and all essential amenities were provided, making it feel like a home away from home. The host was friendly, responsive, and very helpful throughout my stay. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and they were always available to answer questions or provide local recommendations. The location was also convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions, restaurants, and transportation. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would definitely stay here again in the future.

I was upgraded to a Deluxe room but it was at the extreme corner next to the service staircase. Grateful for the upgraded but the room conditions were not up to par . Hair in shower room , the shower holder fell when I was taking it out and it dropped on my toe . Hence the blue black toe shown ( hehe ) . I could not sleep the whole night as the air con was very very noisy even when I lower the adjustment. The day curtain was torn . I sound it out to reception the next morning to see whether they can change my room as I was staying for another 2 nights . They did and I reckoned it was another up grade as now the room has a standing shower room . In the other previous room , you have to stand in the bath tub to shower and for a man of 65 , it is a bit tricky . The hotel really needs an up grade too . It is in a good location and CAT bus is nearby . The CAT shuttle is a complimentary bus that moves around the town area . The saving grace for my trip was that the staff was up to par and reacted quickly . Well done on this . Now , I wait for my toe to heal .

Tanjung Tokong Point Residences is a lovely place to stay, offering great value for money with its affordable pricing. The entire unit is clean, spacious, and very comfortable, making it ideal for a relaxing stay. I especially appreciate the cozy atmosphere, which makes it feel like a home away from home. However, one minor drawback is that the lift can be quite slow, and the toilet amenities are somewhat limited. Despite these small issues, the overall experience is still very positive. It is a superb and pleasant place to stay, and I would definitely recommend it to others.

I booked a king-size bed for me and my daughter. The room was very big (huge huge size) and had two large air conditioners. There was also a big sofa, a table, and chairs in the room, which made it very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean, and I really liked the shower because it had different water settings you could change. Every day they give two welcome drinks, and you can choose alcohol, tea, coffee, or juice. The hotel also has a kids’ play area, a gym, and a yoga room. They provide filtered water, so you can refill your bottle anytime. We ordered the smoked duck pasta and nasi lemak. The nasi lemak was really delicious. This hotel is so closed to the airport. I really loved this hotel and will definitely stay there again.

We had a pleasant stay in a sea view room with a truly fantastic view. The staff were also lovely and very helpful. However, we did have a minor hygiene concern as we saw two bugs coming out of the pipes near the sink and bathtub. On the dining side, the breakfast included is tasty and authentic, and the variety is good—the DIY curry noodles (with a choice of vermicelli, mee, or kuay teow) were a highlight! That said, breakfast service was a bit let down by slow refills. Even with an hour left, there was no teh or kopi available. The machine coffee was also quite poor, tasting like bitter water without any aroma. A few tweaks to maintenance and breakfast logistics would make this a top-tier stay.

The hotel's location is excellent; you can walk to Komtar, and there's a night market downstairs, right at the corner. They have durian and char kway teow, which starts selling around 3 PM and has long queues well into the night. I even saw people waiting in the rain with umbrellas! Nearby, there are also vendors selling 'si guo tang' (four-fruit soup). In terms of quality, this hotel is comparable to a Home Inn in China, probably not as good as a Hanting. You can use that for comparison. The service attitude is generally poor; the front desk usually can't solve any problems. We went during Christmas, so rooms were tight, and the lobby was packed with people waiting to check in at night. Seems business is good. The hotel does offer breakfast.

The room and bathroom were very spacious and comfortable. The air conditioning worked efficiently and cooled the room quickly, which was especially appreciated in Penang’s warm weather. The towels were also of good quality with strong absorption. Parking was slightly unusual in layout, but still manageable. Even during the festive season, there were plenty of parking lots available, which was a big plus. The location is convenient. Northam Beach Cafe is within a 10-minute walking distance, and there is a traffic light for pedestrians to safely cross the road. There is also a Starbucks just 5 minutes behind the hotel, making it easy to grab coffee. However, the major downside was the poor soundproofing. I could clearly hear the next door guests talking loudly, laughing, and even closing their doors. Unfortunately, this affected my sleep quality and was quite disappointing. Overall, it was a good stay with very friendly and helpful concierge service. If the soundproofing can be improved, the experience would be much better.

We had a good stay at Flamingo Hotel by The Beach Penang. The hotel is very beautiful, and the room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was also good. All the staff were nice except for one person named mr Li. He was not friendly during check-in, and I happened to meet the same person again during check-out. He looked very bossy, double standard and unfriendly. I would recommend sending him for hospitality training, especially for front office service. Other than that, everything was good and we had a pleasant stay there….

The rooms are great and the pool is beautiful, perfect for a 'staycation'. The bar next door has a fantastic fire show in the evenings, and the singer is really good, creating an amazing atmosphere. Breakfast was also delicious.
