Batu Ferringhi Hotels with Bars

Customer service was top notch, very friendly staff. Special thanks to Ember who helped to change our room nearer to the lift as our elderly folks are not able to walk far. Breakfast was superb, lots of variety. Bed was comfy, we had lovely snooze. They even have a kids club where your kids can spend some time playing in there - a rare feature even among 5 stars hotel nowadays. Swimming pool is shaded by the hotel building in the morning so we could swim till noon and don't even feel any heat from the sun, but the opposite happens during the evening where the sun is fully blazing down on the pool. We went during the weekdays so there were less people but during weekends, you could barely swim around. Now on the not-so-good things - the car park is all stairs, no ramp, totally not friendly to the elderly and had to carry my luggage through the stairs. And you still need to pay RM 3 per day for it!! The hotel is across the road from the beach so you have to walk across a bridge and a deep long stairs down to get to the beach and it is quite dangerous, esp for kids and elderly people. All in all, we enjoyed our time there but there are many better hotels around Batu Ferringi.

We had a great stay at this hotel, and I would especially recommend it for families with kids. The facilities are well-suited for children, and the overall atmosphere is very family-friendly. The restaurants serve delicious food with a good variety of options, and the rooms are clean & comfortable. However, one thing to keep in mind is the location. While it’s a great place to relax, it is quite far from the airport and also Georgetown, which might be a drawback if you’re planning to explore the city’s main tourist attractions. That said, if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with good food and a clean, family-friendly environment, this hotel is a great choice!

This is my second time staying in Parkroyal Penang, everything was fine, except the bathroom water trap, shower half way the water stucked there, I think the housekeeping should clean the trap for a regular basis to avoid it to happens. Breakfast session was quite crowded although it was not holiday season, foods was average, there are plenty more can be improved. I personally like the beach very much especially on sunset. I will definitely be back again in near future.

Overall, a fantastic stay—perfect for anyone looking to relax by the beach and enjoy great service. Would definitely come back!

This is my 6th or 7th time coming to Rasa Sayang. Been coming since 11 or 12 years ago. It still has the same vibes. I think its time to upgrade the hotel. You can feel the rooms are starting to get old. Yes, the hospitality is amazing but for the price that we pay, its time for another refurbish.

Great stay, service wise is alright but I don't feel much interaction from the staffs. The service at the restaurant is excellent, though. The dipping tub at the balcony, however, is not usable as the drain plug is leaking. The fabric chair and sofa is also stained, leaving it less than desirable although still usable.

The hotel is very good, the location is convenient, the staff is courteous, the car is so convenient, I recommend everyone
