Good staff in the bar and housekeeping Other areas need more attention restaurant in particular Limited food choices. But lots of places to eat outside in walking distance.

Lack of room amenities
Room consider clean and comfort, outdoor parking are limited but hotel have indoor parking next to the building. One of the point like to share is lack of room amenities. The superior room (road view) do not have bathmat, no hand tower (but provide face tower) which i think are essential.

Nice hotel near(ish) to George Town
Nice hotel on north coast of Penang. The pool was great. Quite far from George Town but only 20-25 minutes by bus. Bus stop was outside hotel. The hotel was a long way from the airport, so I recommend using the Grab app to get to the hotel. We also used Grab to get to Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si temple. The room was really nice and spacious. Breakfast was good.

Great hotel but cramped bathroom
It's a nice hotel for the rate charged. Great service and nice location by the beach. Only complaint I have is the cramped bathroom. The door to the bathroom opens inwards and makes it very tight to move around in the bathroom. I don't understand why they don't have the door open outwards instead. The door frames will allow that.

Hotel is looking very tired. Vinyl clad couch in our room was split in many places. TV show options were very poor to say the least. Having said that the room staff were very good and the bed was comfy. There is nowhere to sit in a/c comfort when you check out and are waiting to be picked up. There is no booklet explaining the hotel facilities and how to get around the local area in the room. Overall disappointing 😞

February stay
The hotel is in a good position with direct access to the beech, 20 mins by taxi from central Georgetown. The staff are helpful. Th bedrooms are ok but pretty tired - Mercure should look an overhaul of the furniture and decor. Bedrooms also suffer from corridor noise at night. No bar during day and big opportunity to sell food and drink during the day missed. I can’t really recommend as there is not enough nearby to compensate for Hotel offer.

Very poor would not stay with Mercure again
We had a very poor experience at this hotel and would not recommend. Upon arrival the check in staff could not locate our booking. We waited over 30 minutes until they eventually found it. There were stains on the bathrobes, sheet and towels, The bathroom flooded every time the shower was used and there were ants all over the bathroom. Despite being a non smoking room and floor there was a constant smell of fresh cigarette smoke so much so it woke me up in the middle of the night to check for fire. The service was poor, often there were no tables for breakfast and there was no cutlery available on most mornings. During the dinner service my kids waited 45 minutes after my food arrived for theirs, close to 1.5 hours for basic food and only 2 tables seaters The bar was too noisy so we left we only to be told we can’t drink alcohol in the restaurant (with our meal). I was very disappointed in the lack of service.
