DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Penang

When we arrived the entrance hall looked very impressive but unfortunately that’s where it stops! The room is dated and has chipped paint mold and marks everywhere especially in the bathroom and headboard of bed. We then went down to the pool and the pool is not very pleasant, there is building work next door so there is a black tarp blocking it and they are doing maintenance to there bridge to the beach so you can hear that constantly! The pool was dirty and the bean bags and cushioned chairs are damp through stained and old! The kids pool (which is what initially drew us in) has sand on the bottom of it which I don’t understand why and when my daughter went down the slides she hurt her bottom as a result! Though admittedly it didn’t stop her from playing it did put her off wanting to stay for a long time! In fact on our last day we went to a different hotel for a day pass to use there facilities as we really didn’t want to use the double tree facilities. The one redeeming factor for the hotel was the breakfast which was very pleasant and varied if a little cold. Other issues we had was the extreme prices at the bar. 4 drinks for 166RM was extreme for the area. Additionally we asked them to get us a taxi and were quoted 60RM which we declined as the grab app was showing 23RM! And took only 5 mins to arrive Also our lights stopped working completely, there was quality issues with grouting in the bathroom and the air conditioning stopped workin also. Very disappointing!

The staff and service were excellent. The family suite was the first time we ever got such a room. Perfect for our family of 5. Although 2 of our kids had to share a bed it was big enough for them! Definitely enough space for an extra bed if we had wanted to order it. The room was super spacious. With a large living n dining area. Only 4 dining chairs but with a roller office chair, we could sit down as a family to meals. We were there to chill and it was a real relaxing time. We got ocean view so sunsets were amazing.

Very nice family resort with ocean view. Good breakfast, facility overall. Room and bedding was very comfortable. Only one thing is it's little far from the main shopping mall. Other than that, it's a recommendable resort hotel for a few days relaxation.

Had a pleasant stay at Doubletree Resort. Stayed at their spacious family room and they had a good buffet variety at breakfast. The resort is however, quite far from the airport (we took about 50mins to reach the resort due to traffic) and it can take around 20-30mins to get to Georgetown as well depending on traffic conditions. Apart from that, the resort offers a relaxing getaway from the city buzz.

For a weekend stay, coming with a big family, it was just right. Breakfast is the best feature with plenty of choices which was good quality. The beach and sea across the bridge are not the cleanest and not recommended for swimming, unfortunately. Nice pool and ambience overall.

Room 25 on the 10th floor (1025). Large terrace with spectacular views of the ocean. Room was a good size with separate lounge area. Breakfast buffet was awesome, loads of choices but very busy. We were there over a long weekend. Staff were super friendly and helpful when needed. Location was very isolated and required transport to get to any shops. Big hotel with lots of families and small children. Very child friendly with separate swimming pool and play area however the main pool was also used by the children. Not the quiet getaway we were hoping for unless we were in our room - which with such a big terrace and amazing views we didn't mind doing. Tip - download Grab app, for transport. Like uber but you pay the driver direct at the end of the trip- the set amount that is given by the app at time of booking. We don't understand some of the bad reviews we read prior to attending. The even approached us during one breakfast asking for feedback on our stay and appeared genuinely interested in our views. Food and beverage prices in the hotel were also reasonable, including room service with no hidden taxes and fees.

Unable to used kid zone due to age restriction.

Nice hotel by the beach, easily accessible by public transport and great for families with kids.

Lovely hotel for a family vacation. My daughter enjoyed the kids pool/playground and the kid’s breakfast area with computing materials. The family room was also a good deal and spacious. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the 2 bedroom suite. The check-in was ok. Counter staff not very efficient though . She was going to charge for the child breakfast which was already paid for. The room was nice and spacious with good view. However it was facing the evening sun. The aircon was not cold. The whole night was warm. The shower at the masterbedroom was clogged. I asked for towel to be replaced after shower at 6.30pm and they said I just checked in so they will only give towels the next day! Housekeeping however came to deliver towels in the next few minutes but gave beach/ pool towels that did not smell good. The concierge and bell boys were very helpful. Breakfast was good. Our intention of extending to stay another day did not materialize .
