Good for the money. The only downside for me is the pillow. Perhaps hotel can invest on this to promote better sleep quality for the guests.

The Bayview is a good hotel, well located with decent dining options and friendly staff. The rooms are big and have everything you would need inside them. The hotel is just a little dated however and needs a bit of TLC. Overall would happily stay here again.

We arrived at 3.45pm, 45 mins after the check-in time. But was informed only 2 rooms of the 5 rooms we have booked was ready. The other 3 rooms were only ready at around 4.15 pm. Already thought the official checked in time was rather late as the standard checked in time for most hotel is 2.00 pm.

Overall this was a big surprise, as I had read mixed reviews that were posted, yes it is an older hotel but it has great charm and larger rooms only minutes from the centre of George Town, and the best thing of all the staff were amazing , and the food was excellent
