Hotels With Pools in Penang, Malaysia

"Regarding the location, you'll need to call a Grab for everything. It's so hot that walking to the nearest restaurant for breakfast in the morning takes over ten minutes, and by the time you get there, you're already drenched in sweat. We knew this beforehand, though. There's a convenience store downstairs, but it's not cheap. We bought a 5L bottle of water for RM30. As for the room, we booked a suite with two bedrooms and a living room. Each bedroom had a double bed, and there was also a double bed in the living room. One of the bedrooms had an en-suite bathroom, and the other bathroom was shared with the living room. The amenities were quite basic. The bathrooms had shower gel and shampoo, and the water heater was hot enough, but you had to figure out how to use it first. There was an ironing board and iron in the unit, but we didn't use them. There was a washing machine, washing powder, an induction cooker, a pot, a frying pan, large bowls, plates, cutlery, a dining table, and three chairs. We did laundry, and there was enough space to hang clothes, as we could hang them in the bathroom and living room. The worst part was having only three chairs. It's advertised for six people, but with only three chairs, one person always had to stand when we ate together. There were four of us staying there. The toilet paper provided by the host was barely enough. We ended up using our own tissues too. Since we stayed for five nights and often brought takeout back to eat, the rubbish bags weren't sufficient. We had to contact someone to get more. Bath towels were provided in the room, and the pool and gym on the 11th floor were open during the day. We didn't have any children with us, but the facilities on the 11th floor looked like they could keep kids entertained for half a day."

"The location is pretty strategic. If you want a peaceful place to stay, this is it as the place is not in the middle of Georgetown. Amenities such as shower gel (smells really good & they actually sell it), shampoo, washing machine, cooking utensils, induction stove, iron, ironing board, hangers and towels are all provided to be used during our stay (NOT to be taken home). The television is an Android TV so you can watch shows from various platforms such as Netflix, YouTube, VIU and more. The elevators are fully functional and they have 3 for the whole building (it may be slow during the evening due to people going out and having a swim; plus during checkout so plan your time so that you don’t wait too long). The swimming pool is quite congested during the weekends and towels are not provided as this is not a hotel. So remember to bring your own towel, going into the elevator in wet clothes will result in a big fine per person. We got Grab e-Hailing pretty easily here. However, I need to point out that there’s too many contact numbers provided but only one number actually replies to customers. Instead of directing customers to the correct number to enquire, they chose to keep quite and ignore all messages. Even emails are only read, not replied. Please fix this attitude for a better customer experience."

"We enjoyed our stay at Iconic Regency Service Residence. The place is very clean, and the front desk staff were very polite and responded quickly to all our enquiries. The room service cleaners were also polite and well-trained. The gym and swimming pool on Level 42 have great views, and my kids had a lot of fun at the swimming pool. The only feedback is that the car park design may not be very convenient, as there are many circular turns and some areas are quite narrow, especially for bigger cars. It really tests the driver’s driving skills. Overall, everything was good. If there is no traffic jam, it takes less than 30 minutes to drive to George Town."

"We were able to check in as soon as we arrived at 12 PM. The location is excellent, with great shopping malls nearby, and it's not far from Shantou Street. The room facilities aren't brand new, but they were clean and tidy. The overall room service was quite good. We stayed for four nights and it seems we even got upgraded to a sea view room, which offered beautiful sunrise and sunset views. Recommended."

"Close to the sea, and so many delicious foods and fun places in Penang, especially the durian – it was incredibly tasty! Haha, I'm looking forward to bringing my family next time. A perfect trip, and the people of Penang are really welcoming."

"The hotel is right across from the lively weekend market. It's also not far from the main attractions, all within 1 km, but it's an awkward distance – a bit too far to walk comfortably, yet not really worth taking a taxi, haha. I booked a family room but got a suite instead, apparently because they were out of family rooms. The suite had an extra, temporary cot with a metal frame that was a bit saggy. The sound of flushing from upstairs was quite loud downstairs. Everything else was good. For three people, it was the best value I could find under 500."

"Happy stay with my kids they love the pink design and the hotel has a small pool to splash around Location is perfect for anyone want to walk around is beside komtar main bus terminal the free CAT shuttle and few shopping malls also can walk to Penang Road famous Chendol in 2mins Breakfast basically nasi lemak was good"
