Hotels With Pools in Penang, Malaysia

this hotel is good overall, but when we arrived, they told us that we didn't have a booking with them and they couldn't locate our booking and details. the room was also said to be taken, and they are waiting for a cancellation in order to get our room. There is a lot of confusion among staff. some visitors were told to leave their rooms once they have entered. we waiting 1 hr 30 min to get our room. so check in was at 4.30pm. parking was also very inconvenient, as we had to park at the basement, which was impossible to even get one if you came into the hotel late and a T&G card was also needed to get validated before leaving the hotel if we wanted a free spot. Room was very spacious and clean. the tea and coffee was hard like its never been changed.

This was the most satisfying hotel of our trip, costing just under 600 without breakfast. We arrived around 10 PM and there was a singer in the lobby, which created a really nice atmosphere. The beds were high and the hotel service was excellent. It was easy to catch a taxi downstairs, and there's a bus stop nearby. Across the street is the Wenbao Li Hotel, which is a bit cheaper. There's also a mall next door, which was very convenient.

The room was clean and spacious. The bed was also clean and large. The private pool in the room was clean, as was the toilet and the large, clean bathtub. It was a great stay for families. My room didn't have any Charlie ants. The only downside was the breakfast, which had a limited time slot – only an hour – so it felt rushed to get food. I would definitely repeat my stay.

We chose The Lone Pine Hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I was worried that arriving too late on the first day would spoil the romantic vibe, but the hotel was incredibly accommodating. They proactively arranged for our cake and gifts to be delivered the next morning, allowing us to enjoy them leisurely – this thoughtful detail was a huge plus. As for the view, we were lucky enough to be upgraded to a sea-view room. The endless blue ocean outside the window offered a superb vista. Even more surprising was that I had only booked breakfast for the first day because we had an early start on the second. Yet, the hotel upgraded our second day's breakfast for free – so incredibly considerate! The food was the major highlight of this trip: I highly recommend the fried chicken at the breakfast buffet; it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, usually gone before 11 AM. After 10 AM, there's also an outdoor Welcome Drink by the pool, and the adjacent Barbecue area offers amazing fried kway teow and roti canai. The overall dining atmosphere was very chill. The location is also very convenient, just a few minutes' walk to late-night snack stalls and the beach torch performance. Finally, I must praise the nighttime experience – many might mind the sound of the waves, but I absolutely love falling asleep to them; it's incredibly therapeutic and relaxing. It's basically a place where you can just unwind for a couple of days 🎶. One small suggestion: The hotel could perhaps optimize the color scheme of its lighting. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who loves a slow pace and a seaside getaway! 🌊🍗

Sunway seems to be a hotel chain in Malaysia. It's decent and offers the basics. The room type is fine in my opinion, with at least one large and one small bed, enough for sleeping, not a sofa bed, and no two separate rooms. The price is also reasonable and not expensive. Next door is 'Ao Ao Tea Room,' a teahouse serving breakfast that's good value for money, and one of the Chinese guys working there provided good service. Getting around by taxi is also very convenient. The complimentary water in the room comes in glass bottles, not plastic, probably for environmental reasons. The Southeast Asian guy at the Sunway front desk was also very nice.

The hotel's facilities are exceptional. On a clear day, the sea view is absolutely stunning, with a vast ocean panorama right outside the room window. If the weather is good, you can even catch the sunset. I gave the facilities five stars because there are two swimming pools: one children's pool with a small slide, and a sky pool more suitable for adults. You can order food by the sky pool, and it's quite good. Additionally, for families with children, there's a kids' playground with various activities. Children aged five and above can be looked after, allowing adults to go to the gym or do other things, which is a very thoughtful service. I only gave the hotel's location and cleanliness three stars. The location is quiet but there's nothing else nearby. Typically, beachfront hotels are closer to night markets, especially this one which is quite secluded. The hotel does offer a shuttle service, but when I enquired, they didn't mention the need for a reservation, and there was only one scheduled trip. I arrived 15 minutes early only to be told I needed a reservation, and by then, it was full. Luckily, a 10-minute taxi ride still works. Regarding cleanliness, the room attendant didn't clean properly. Leftover takeout food was still in the room, which was quite disappointing.

I just stayed for one night. Which was enough for me. Be aware this is not part of the official Rainbow Resort Hotel. Upon seeing my confirmation, the receptionist told me my room was an Airbnb. The building is a hotel as well private rooms that are rented out. The room itself was very spacious, 70 sqm with one bedroom and a living space. It had obviously been repainted recently (it smelt a fresh paint) so the walls were clean. Air conditioning and basic amenities were provided. The building itself, has seen a lot of wear and tear. If you’re on a budget and want a spacious room it will meet your needs. For the price I think it’s quite reasonable if you’re there for a short stay. The hotel is next to a beach, and a swimming pool downstairs. There a few restaurants across the road.

The hotel is located right by the sea with direct access to the beach, offering a fantastic environment. It's very clean, and the rooms are comfortable. The king-size bed is huge, probably over 2 meters, easily accommodating our family of three without feeling cramped. Breakfast gets extremely busy, especially during peak times, and you might have to queue. However, the selection is extensive. The hotel also offers a buffet dinner for 198 MYR per person, with two adults getting one child free, available on Friday and Saturday evenings. While the variety isn't huge, all the essentials are there. There are restaurants on both sides of the hotel beach, all featuring fire shows. It's lively outside the hotel, but the rooms themselves are very quiet. The large balcony is lovely, perfect for enjoying a cup of tea. The hotel is quite far from both the airport and the town center, about an hour to the airport and 50 minutes to town. Taxis are readily available though.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really enjoyed my stay at SHO Hotel Penang. The hotel is clean, modern and well-maintained, with spacious rooms that are comfortable for both short and longer stays. Being a newly opened hotel, the facilities are still fresh and in great condition, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only downside is the location, which is quite far from Georgetown, so getting to the main attractions and city centre can take some time. Other than that, a very pleasant stay and definitely a hotel worth considering if you prioritise cleanliness, space and modern facilities.

Stayed in Room 602, the room space was good, facing nearby building with a sea view in the distance. Since I was was travelling for business, having a proper working desk in the room was a huge plus for me. The mattress and pillows were great, allowing me to enjoy a restful night. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the buffet breakfast offered a good variety. The location is excellent, with plenty of restaurants within short walking distance. Recommended.
