My family and I stayed at Eastin Hotel Penang, Eastin Deluxe Suite last March 2013 and the experience surprised us! I never expected such hotel that's often perceived as business-oriented and not affordable could be so family and pocket-friendly! Rooms were minimalist and spacious. Service was warm and quick; staff had ready smile and were so accomodating to our requests.... More

I stayed at the Eastin Hotel in Bayan Lepas in April 2013 (in fact, I am writing this review while still at the hotel). In my travels, I tend to avoid "business hotels" because, as a general rule, they are pretty soulless places. So I was well-primed not to like the Eastin. Happily for me, they have completely changed my... More

On a recent short over night-er in Penang, I decided to try staying at the Eastin Hotel Penang near the large Queensbay mall and fairly close to the airport. It's a little off the city centre and nowhere near the beaches but I liked the proximity to the airport and the mall plus the hotel had a modern clean look... More

After staying at a rather dismal budget hotel in Penang for my last 2 business trips, I requested for a hotel change based on recommendations from my friends (who live in Penang). For my recent trip to Penang, I checked in at Eastin for a 2-nights stay. Upon informing the counter that it was my first time staying at the... More

Stayed at the Eastin hotel in Penang in April for a short business trip. Check in went smooth but my room wasn't available immediately as I was checking in earlier than the check in time so we went for lunch in the buffet just off of the lobby entrance. It was a wide variety of different types of Asian cuisine.... More

Overall the hotel was excellent. The room was clean, the check in and check out was fast. There's wifi in the room and the signal was fast enough to watch Youtube. The only downside is the room is too small. Athough I was upgraded to the executive room, I still find the room small with just enough space to walk... More

First and foremost softer beds are needed here. My bed felt like a concrete slab. Second don't expect much from the hotel restraunt. The food is edible but that's about it; the pancakes at breakfast are not pancakes, they are some form of rice mix of a pancake. That being said it is in good proximity to the airport and... More

Level 3, 2 story room which initially seemed cute, but really is inconvenient for short term stay due to narrow stairs. Noisy air conditioning system which had to be turned off for sleeping. Both issues are easily to overcome, but consider if you *really* want this style room before accepting Level 3

I stayed there for 3 nights and got a room with the sea view, so not facing the highway. Room was OK, clean, not too small but nothing exciting. Functional for a business trip. No problem with noise, maybe because I was on the right side of the hotel and I always take earplug when travelling. No problem with the... More
