Stayed here with my family in May 2013 for 3 nights. We originally booked two rooms on the Tower wing but got upgraded at check- in to the Beach wing. Sent an email to them a few weeks ago to request for connecting rooms. Didn't get a reply but surprisingly, we got the request at check- in. The Beach Wing... More

I wrote a review in 2003 and thought that it would be a good idea to refresh my previous thoughts., so here goes! First impressions structurally not a lot has changed except the dining room has been extended. As long time returning guests we were upgrading to a balcony room with sea view even though I had booked the cheapest... More

This resort was the most economical along the beach strip to accommodate my husband and I and 3 kids so I was quite forgiving for its short comings. We stayed in the beach wing which although was well located near the facilities the Kid suite was possibly a bit on the young side for our kids - our oldest is... More

After arriving at the airport from Oz at 8.30pm local time we traveled up to Batu Ferringhi with Dean our driver who gave a running commentary of Penang and Malaysian History which helped pass the time (about an hour in traffic). We arrived at the Holiday Inn and checked into the Tower Wing. Check in was fast and efficient and... More

The location is good and the beach view are special. The overall impression of the Hotel is poor as the entrance and the lobby them self are dark and the furniture relatively old. This is valid for the whole Hotel (Beach side). Our room was OK the furniture in the room are old too. The very disappointing issue was the... More

This is a fairly downmarket holiday-resort type hotel but that's what we expected – it's a Holiday Inn, after all! – and we were only there for a couple of nights before moving on. We stayed in one of the Tower rooms which, though set further back from the sea, looked a better bet than those in the Ocean Wing.... More

We booked the Tower kidsuite for 3 nights after comparing the prices and convenience of a few hotels along batu ferringhi. We were not disappointed and our kids loved the spacious kidsuite on the 22nd floor. The bath room was huge with a separate shower room and bath tub. The room is clean. I love the thought that they installed... More

First impression of the hotel was okay, it was last-minute substitute for us and for 1 night we thought it would be fine to stay here until our room at Golden Sands was available the next day. How wrong we turned out to be! Facilities are slightly dated and basic at that as well, but okay it's Holiday Inn and... More

I was there to attend company organized event for 2 nights. I checked-in to sea view room, so the view was fantastic. The room was nicely decorated and trendy; decorated with mirrors here and there, how convenient! I love the morning breakfast, at hotel beach front cafe, very relaxed. Food at dinner buffet wasn't so good on first night, it... More
