The Prestige Hotel Penang

8/10 Good

"Clean room"

Bayview Hotel Georgetown Penang

4/10 Poor

"Bathroom contained mould on many fixtures and fittings. The first room we were shown smelled of mould. The second room wasnt any better but they changed the shower curtain. The towels started smelling as soon as water touched them. I had to ask them to be changed. There was no hand towel. The bed sheets had holes in it. The shower over the bath was not working properly. I think to call it a shower is exaggerating the definition. Suffice to say will NOT be booking a stay at Bayview hotel Georgetown again. "

Eastern And Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at the E and O three times over the past 20 years. I love this hotel! Its old colonial flavour sits well with me. The new part is lovely too but this time we stayed in the Heritage wing which will always be my favourite. Our room 010 which had a separate lounge and twin bedded room, opened up to the grass area a few steps from that gorgeous pool. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food was amazing. This hotel is full of old world charm. Always will be highly recommended. Hope to keep returning as the years progress. "
