Butterworth Hotels : Book Hotels in Butterworth

We spent.a wonderful 5 nights here, the staff were all so friendly and helpful. Rooms were quiet, and comfortable, after a recent refurbishment the bathroom was excellent. Breakfast buffet was a hit with the kids, with plenty of options for the grown ups too. We made Day trips to Penang Hill and Georgetown, both times the hotel staff quickly arranged a taxi for us, and were more than happy to provide some local recommendations as well. Entopia butterfly farm was an easy ten minute taxi ride away and was a great option to fill a couple of hours. A ten minute walk through the night markets took us to Long Beach Cafe, a local hawker centre for dinner. There was plenty of choice at very reasonable prices. We ended each day with a couple of hours in the pool, where the water slide was popular. My only criticism of the room, is that I struggled to find anywhere to hang wet clothes to dry after our pool fun, and towel rails in the bathroom were limited. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and would definitely visit again if we returned to Penang.
