Starting from the impressive lobby, Savv hotel got everything right. They allowed us an early check-in @ 1 p.m. without an additional charge. Their rooms were clean, spacious and had great views of the sea. The bathroom was huge with a demarcated area for bathing. You get potable (drinking) water straight from the sink. Most of the key sights of Georgetown are within walking distance. The breakfast was of good quality, staff was helpful and they had umbrellas for the guests to use, quite useful both in rain and heat.

FAQs about hotels in Penang

A Palm-Lined Pearl

An island and part of the mainland make up the small Malaysian region of Penang, also known as the ‘pearl of the Orient’. It has long been coveted and the capital Georgetown has many elegant Colonial buildings. The observation deck of the KOMTAR tower – the tallest building – offers spectacular views of the town and surrounding mountains.

A funicular railway goes up to Penang Hill deep in the forest. Nearby Air Itam has one of Asia’s largest Buddhist temples - Kek Lok Si – lit by hundreds of lights at night. Another fantastic temple is Taoist Kong Hock Keong in Georgetown.

Penang Airport is near southern Bayan Lepas, and across the Malacca Strait is Pulau Jerejak, a peaceful island where trees merge into ocean.

In the much livelier north, Batu Feringghi is the largest resort, with lots of Penang hotels on the beach, plenty of bars and a night market. East, green mountains slope down to blue waters at Tanjung Bungah, where several high-rise hotels overlook the palm-lined beach towards the Floating Mosque just offshore.

On the mainland Butterworth is the departure point for ferries to Penang island, and has a bird park housing a large number of Malaysian species. Wherever you decide to stay, Booking.com has a fantastic range of Penang hotels and apartments to choose from.

    The staff are spectacular! The moment we arrived on site with our luggage, a staff member approached and asked if we are checking in and he took care of loading our luggage while giving us directions to the reception on the 3rd floor. While we were checking in, we got complimentary icecream and our bags were brought to our room shortly after we went inside the room. Beds were king sized and comfortable, linen was clean, and the pillows were awesome! AC worked well and there us a mini fridge with complimentary drinks and some small snacks (wafer cookie and chocolate covered nuts) Black out curtains ensured we could sleep through the night (maybe set an alarm if you wanted to get up early otherwise you'll think it's still the middle of the night when it's 10am!) Breakfast buffet was a great value and some dishes and drinks changed daily. You can get nasi lemak, fried noodles, salad, assortment of pastries and bread, icecream, soup noodles, steamed buns and sticky rice, congee, and there is a coffee machine too (i didnt use it but it looked popular!) Housekeeping comes by daily and if you're in the room they will check if you'd like anything changed or the room cleaned, very friendly and kind staff. The driveway in front of the hotel lobby is managed by a security guard all day long. He works hard to direct traffic and keep things moving , especially since people are hailing cars and constantly getting picked up or dropped off. He took time to help us load up bags into our car when we were leaving and that was greatly appreciated. A minor thing was our room had some bug husks near the ceiling on one wall and it looks like the bugs are all gone, just had these old shells left behind. The front desk staff immediately got housekeeping to clear it when we mentioned it, and they also offered to change the room for us too! We stayed in the same room in the end because there was no issue with the room especially after it was all cleaned up.

It offered a great variety of choices, with delicious Malaysian delicacies that gave us a real taste of local flavors. Overall, Bayview Beach Resort exceeded our expectations, and we would be delighted to return in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

The hotel is far from the tourist attractions, but after all if you visit Penang solely for tourism, I would recommend staying on the island in order to avoid the traffic on the bridges.

    George Town has a great range of options for accomodation and dining. There are dozens of heritage hotels and guest houses as well as modern hotels and airbnbs. There is food of many different kinds: hawker stalls, coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars all provide a variety of options at a range of price points. For transport, the town is more or less navigable by foot, and, depending on the time of day and time of year, Grab works well and is relatively inexpensive. The town also contains a number of interesting museums and historical buildings. It's history, heritage, architecture, and culture make it a unique and attractive tourist destination.

    Batu Ferringhi, is a great place for a relaxing holiday in the warm. The food in Penang is the big drawcard. It is great for chilling out and leaving the stress behind. The Night Markets are also great. Best of all is Long Beach Cafe, which is a market place which opens in the evening and has the best food, cheap as chips. Great restaurants everywhere. Dont forget to go to Ferringhi Walk and Bora Bora for Dinner. Food, Glorious Food.

    I stayed one night in Bukit Mertajam and overall, it was a decent short stop. The town has a quiet, local charm and isn’t too busy, which made it quite relaxing. There’s not a whole lot to do, but it’s a good place if you just want to unwind or try some local food—there are definitely some hidden gems when it comes to hawker stalls and small eateries. That said, it’s not really a tourist-heavy spot, so don’t expect major attractions or much nightlife. It’s more of a laid-back, pass-through kind of town. For one night, it was okay and served its purpose as a quick rest point.

    What I liked:

    What I liked: The hotel was clean, the staff were friendly, and the location was convenient for getting around. What wasn’t the best: We stayed in a triple room, and the bathroom only had a single sliding door, which offered very little privacy. This setup felt unsuitable for multiple guests and made the stay a bit uncomfortable.

    I like it because it is away from the traffic of Georgetown on the one side and from touristic Batu Ferringhi on the other. A handful of decent restaurants supplement the many informal local huts, giving all levels of cost and quality for variable dining. All the local folk are courteous and kindly, though English is universally poor to incomprehensible. Excellent modern buses connect with Georgetown etc. on a frequent, low-cost service. Car hire is not expensive and a liberating device for island discovery. Pop-up Fruit stalls abound for an exotic breakfast in your hotel room or on the beach. Meridien Hotel has the cleanest beach!

    recently stayed at this Airbnb, and unfortunately, the experience was not great. The house is located very close to a mosque, and the loud prayers start at 6 AM daily, which is disruptive if you’re planning to sleep in. The house is also much smaller than expected for a double-storey unit. The living room is cramped and not ideal for hosting friends. All the rooms are small, and the kitchen is equally compact, so don’t expect much space here. A major inconvenience is the smart key system, which turns off the electricity when you leave the house. This means you can’t leave any devices charging or keep the air conditioning running while you’re out for lunch or dinner. Plus, there’s no air conditioning in the living room, which makes the space uncomfortable during hot days. Communication was another issue. The owner does not understand English and only speaks Malay, which made communication uncomfortable for me. On top of that, there is a CCTV camera outside the car porch, and the owner won’t allow you to turn off the modem, so it feels like you’re being constantly monitored. I found this quite unsettling. Lastly, the water pressure in the toilet is low, which was an additional disappointment. Overall, this stay was not as expected, and there are better options available for the price.
