The service and every staff member I interacted with were amazing, but unfortunately by room just hadn't had a good clean in a very long time. Mildew in the bathroom and crumbs under the bed, just not in a great condition.

Honest Bayview Hotel Penang Review
Bayview Hotel
Experience for check in is ok. But went into the room, amenities are not provided fully.
1) Toothbrushes and toothpaste (booked two rooms, one room have it, the another don't have it
2) Both rooms only provided with bath towels. Hand towels are not provided.
3) Carpets are dirty, don't appear vacuumed for a super long while.
4) TV has no proper channel. I have decided to manual re-tune all the channels via the settings and it finally got some proper channels, but not according to the channel list shown.

Was Hacked and Had Crdit Card Charged!
Place is in rundown condition. But, for the price it is fair. My problem, and I should say my big problem, was that I was hacked when using their QR code to order room service. They have a third party app that stole my credit card info. I spent a day in the police department and making expensive calls to my credit card company etc.. AND THE WORST PART - no attention or apology from manager. No compensation and no care at all. IT came to the room and they said they would remove the QR codes from the hotel. They did not. Unacceptable.
I received charges from some company!

The property is close to town and good location with huge rooms. It is an older style hotel but compensated with a big room and good size beds.
The staff are the most amazing. Very accommodating. They also went out of the way to find my baby top that went missing in the laundry and they found it!
Would recommend and stay again definately!

Stay was nice but certainly it could use some facelift. Lift lobby reeks of cigarettes and the TV uses AV connection that don't really have options and the options that worked had very poor reception. Not much of accessible power sockets close to bed and worst of all there was no lighting options if you want to have some light to work on something. I have seen some moody pubs have better lighting.
