Flamingo Hotel by The Beach, Penang

we stayed for 2 nights.. this is my 2nd time staying in this hotel.. location is in between Feringgi and Downtown.. only downside is breakfast spread is not as a good as i remember..they can do better but overall stay is comfortable

Check-in and check-out went smoothly, but breakfast was a huge disappointment. There was no proper coffee machine, only a small jug of espresso and milk for nearly 500 guests, leading to constant refills and long waits every morning. The food quality was poor, with limited choices, and many items like fruits and juices were not replenished, especially when breakfast service was supposed to last until 10:30 AM. Due to long queues for seating, by the time we got a table, most of the food was already gone. The chefs seemed inexperienced, struggling to prepare eggs correctly despite multiple requests, and the result was always too oily. Given the high price of breakfast, I expected better service and food quality. To make things worse, a staff member named Mohan, who was acting as a barista, was rude when we asked for a latte, assuming it was included in the RM40 breakfast, as it is in most hotels. Instead, he responded with a sour expression, saying it cost RM16 without any courtesy. This was my worst hotel breakfast experience in Penang, and I wouldn’t return or recommend it to anyone.

this round got a lot Ant inside toilet and near main door.

We had a good time staying here. As the hotel attached to the beach, my kid is so happy to play at the beach and next jump to the pool. Swimming pool lifeguard, he's so friendly and kind hearted. Hotel room is very clean and comfortable, food was okay, and most importantly it's located not too far from the city. Will definitely repeat whenever we come to Penang again.

Helpful and friendly staff Decent location Average breakfast but limited for vegetarian/vegan or those looking for healthier options It say was renovated recently, but perhaps that was just the pool area (which was nice) as rooms were a little dated Gym ok but A/C not working so very hot in there, many equipment broken or not working but had enough to work out so better than nothing. Right on the beach but not sure it’s worth the price… Better for families I think ~

Flamingo Hotel Penang offers great value for its price, with a fantastic beachfront location and family-friendly amenities. However, it falls short in areas like cleanliness, room maintenance, and service efficiency. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced beach getaway and are willing to overlook some minor shortcomings, this hotel is worth considering. Rating: ★★★☆☆ Recommended for budget travelers and families seeking a convenient location, but not for those expecting luxury or premium service.
