Stayed here for 4 nights in Penang as part of a west coast Malaysia holiday. Opted for the deluxe room + breakfast. Nice view of the bay from our large clean room, closing the curtains renders the room pitch dark (which is nice if u like to sleep in in the mornings) Bed was great for those with bad backs,... More

The bayview is in an excellent location for shopping, food and nightclubs. The hotel was very quite when I stayed and the staff were extremely helpful. My room key/card didn't work so one of the staff walked me to my room with a new one to check that it worked. My friend and I chose to pay $15 aus extra... More

I loved this hotel before we even arrived as Thomas Cook had messed up our booking big style and ignored repeated requests to investigate their mistake. It was thanks to the Bayview's excellent reservations staff that we actually managed to rectify the mistakes of Thomas Cook and have a bed for the week. We weren't disappointed when we arrived well... More

Stayed at this hotel for 7 nights. We upgraded to premier room. Room was quite large, clean and could have had a sea view but opted for the city side. Great choice as it overlooked some lovely old buildings and the city lights were nice. The hotel is in a great location with easy walking to almost the entire city.... More

Accidently booked Bayview hotel for 4 nights, instead of Bayview resort for my honeymoon (opps!). When we arrived, the reception staff basically said she understood but there was nothing that she could do about it (in other words ...too bad)!
