Great hotel for the value

I stayed at the Bayview for 3 nights. It's an ideal location to explore Penang and especially Georgetown. I booked the hotel on sale, for about $50usd/night so was a little concerned what the quality would be like - but no need to worry! Room was clean, large, and comfortable. Cleaning staff wasn't overly thorough, but the room was clean. It's not a new hotel, but everything is clean and my stay was great. Great value! There's also a tour company located on the ground floor that is very helpful - they can help you book tours, but I also found them very helpful just to get an idea of what sights to see and how to get around the island.

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

If you want to do the sightseeing not in Georgetown - i.e. Penang Hill, Kek Lok Si, etc - it's mostly reachable by bus that leave from the Komtar station which is about a 15 min walk from the hotel.

Go to the Red Garden Night Market. It's just around the corner. Dozens of interesting local food stands and people watching... can graze for hours and be entertained for just a handful of ringitts.

Hotel was fast in responding to my requests. Clean and very efficient hotel. Good location with night market just right across the street or pay RM 15 taxi fare to more shopping and eating locations, Gurney Plaza and Gurney night market. We enjoyed our stays and hope will be back again.

Had a triple non-smoking room

Had a triple non-smoking room on level 11; room newly renovated :- Hotel Pros: Hotel staff friendly and helpful; room and beds' cleanliness good; flat screen LCD TV in room. Hotel Cons: Non-smoking room could only be confirmed on day of check-in (??); bathroom hand towel had to be requested. Other Info: Hotel breakfast(at "Kopi Tiam") offered quite a variety of food(roti canai, included with breakfast, was pretty good; note: had to order/collect at stall located just outside of "Kopi Tiam" breakfast area) but only orange or guava juice avail; Hotel located 20-25 mins slow walk to Komtar which has a few shopping malls around the tower(best shopping bargains is at Prangin Mall); taxi to Komtar from hotel is RM$10/=; taxi to Queensbay Mall is RM$30/=; taxi from airport to hotel was around RM$44/=.

I stayed 2 nights here. First

I stayed 2 nights here. First impression counts in may ways and mine was pretty good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Facilities were all fine, buffet breakfast was great with decent number of choices. There is live music bar right next to lobby which is great to relax, enjoy a drink and the live music; my song request was performed very nicely. Location is also great, few minutes to free Penang CAT bus, food street, main Georgetown area and other locations. Room facilities and size was all fine, just one thing bothered me a bit "very tiny ants walking around on tables and carpet". Overall stay was pleasant, and would recommend to anyone looking for hotels in Penang around this price.

Breakfast is sort of buffet but

Breakfast is sort of buffet but do not expect something like those offered in western hotels. No bacon, ham, or fish. The only meat dish available is some curry chicken. I asked for one boiled egg but was not offered.
