“Could do with a facelift.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

One look, and you probably guess the Flamingo Hotel's probably one of the older ones in Penang. Understandably, the rooms and facilities may not be fantastic compared to newer hotels, but certainly the shortcomings could be improved in other ways: carpeted floors in the rooms, or upgrade the toilets, for instance.

While the hotel is seemingly nice, it could do with a clean up and is looking quite tired in parts, the junior staff try hard and the experience is OK so far. My main reason for... More

After visiting Kek Lok Si Temple, it was time to check-in to our hotel. It was already early evening when we arrived. The hotel was situated atop a steep slope but for some reasons, the coach was unable to drive us in and we had to walk in, lugging our own luggage behind us. With the horrible experience of our...

“May stay here again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2013

Room generous in size but we can here noises from neighbouring rooms. Great pool and cafe layout. All hotel staff genuinely pleasant and helpful. Food choice (complimentary breakfast) not that great - taste wise also not that great. Good spot for family trip.
