Bellevue the Penang Hill Hotel

Had a great stay at Bellevue with the scenic day/night view. A small garden and basic amenities with a standing fan and large bathroom. Large room accommodate 3 single bed with lots of room to walk or even do yoga/ exercise. Always wanted to stay here whenever I came to Penang Hill ❤️

Very helpful and friendly, very good location ❤️

The location is excellent since it is just nearby to go to Astaka and food court. There are other attraction nearby especially The Habitat and other mini attractions. The hotel is an old designed and look more like a dorm. Theres no air con since it will be cold at night until the next morning. Hope they can upgrade the basic room design and amenities such as shower head, flooring, adding mineral water and instant hot drink. Fortunately, you will get a magnificient view of the whole Penang on the hill. Thats the winning part.

Location ok

Sadly the hotel plays it's advertising on the view from the terrace area. First impressions are that it is dirty and uninviting. If you can get past that AND the outdated rooms and décor, you stand a chance of appreciating the view it relies on to entice its guests. The food was minimal. The breakfast appeared to be tinned/frozen with a fried egg - no other choice. All food options were very limited and did not comply with the advertised menu at the front of the property. We were housed in the bedroom (#8) which is next to the reception and was noisy. You could hear everything said on the reception telephone and to guests. The bedding had ingrained stains and the pillows were uncomfortable and smelt. The curtains were ripped and dirty as were the nets. The toilet brush had remnants from the previous occupants waste. We had visitors in the bathroom (a gecko [not a problem] and various spiders). It was damp and had a fausty smell. Some rooms appeared to fair in a little better. The corridor had scatter carpets (trip hazards) and cobwebs over the light fittings. Paintwork was bubbling in rooms, dining area and reception. Not disable friendly due to steps. All in all it's sad to see the possibilities for what could be such a lovely little hotel ignored and no pride taken. I understand that the conditions are hot and humid but there is SO MUCH potential and missed opportunities. With a heavy heart I would not recommend staying at this hotel.
