Mercure Penang Beach 4성

Very well located hotel on a quieter beach in north Penang. You can walk straight onto the beach, and have breakfast overlooking it. Depending on traffic, 15-30 minutes Grab ride from Georgetown center. Seaside rooms have a fantastic view of the ocean, as does the gym. There is not much within walking distance (in the heat), but there is a small store in the building next door. Rooms are modest in size, but have all you need. It gets just 4 star since the room furniture is not of the highest quality. and could do with a makeover. Breakfast is good, with reasonable variety, though gets very busy at the weekend and things do not get replenished.

One of the few hotels on the beach on Penang Island. I recommend rooms with a sea view. Room cleaning at a low level... Swimming is possible in the hotel pool and the sea. Near the street market and a restaurant on the beach. Well-equipped gym. Sometimes the peace at night is disturbed by large groups of tourists from China. Breakfasts with a large selection of local cuisine.

Due For A Much Needed Upgrade - The only thing good is the location to the beach and the size of the pool, I found the staff to be bored and unwilling to be pleasant when you approach them. I am not sure all rooms were like mine but mine looked dirty and very used. This is in no way a 4 star hotel and Accor need to spend some money to fix it up because it has so much potential.

Upon arrival, we were told that we must pay even though our voucher from British airways stated we have paid in full recption were not interreted in the voucher/papers I offered to pay via visa debit but was refused "only credit card" which I do not have so we were told to go out and get cash! Then we were informed that we had booked two rooms, "my wife and I"?. We booked a suite but were allocated a standard double??? After contacting BA, the matter seems to have been resolved. Afterward, in the lift and the lobby, two people asked if we had sorted the payment for the room two other people also told us that the hotel had canceled their room. The rooms are very tired and in need of updating and the recption staff could do with a bit of training.

I stayed 5 nights at Mercure, it's room faced to sea view & there is a beach closing hotel, therefore anybody like swimming more convenient, also there is a swimming pool for the guests. Hotel accessories are well equipped with tv,wi-fi, electric kettle, tea or coffee bags, refrigerator & clothes ironed etc. The breakfast was fine with many choices for western or Asian guests. Overall I very enjoyed the stay at this hotel.
