Absolutely gorgeous property. All the staff were very friendly and went out of their way to make us comfortable.
The property is beautiful and well maintained.
Very quiet
Excellent customer service from front desk to room cleaners, to kitchen staff. Very grateful for Alex and Shalene, and the entire team!!
Great stay, as you would expect from a double tree
Large and comfortable room, nice shower, room safe and everything else you would need. I’m not sure how old the hotel is but it is just starting to feel a little dated in the rooms. Staff were super friendly and helpful, also nice to have the pool table and a few other activities in the lobby. We had an issue with the fridge not working in our room which they resolved straight away. Gym was decent size and very quiet when we were here also. It is in a bit of an odd location where you must get a Grab everywhere but they are cheap and available.
Nice and comfortable overlooking the sea.
The staff are all very helpful and willing to assist
Nice hotel, friendly staff and good service
The property is located in an areas that is not walkable. Have to take a taxi or bus anywhere you want to go. Property is great for families that like to stay at hotel and use facility but not for those that like to walk the area
Could do eith better mattress
Amazing
Nice
Was a really good stay Reception staff were very helpful and we had a speedy check in….. they were also very polite and always smiling.
Breakfast was good with a large selection , construction site right next door with load banging all day , also maintanence work being carried out in the hotel , the room felt really damp with a musty smell , food and drink prices in the hotel were rather high
Because it close to my friends’ home
The hotel is in a Safe and serene location . My bed was comfortable , quiet and clean . Danny and the team accommodated me well for a late check in and welcome . Look forward to my next visit .
Perfect for families wanted to get away from the city. Beautiful views and kind staff!
Room needs to be refurbished but staff was wonderful!
Good hotel
Nice hotel. Good location for north and George Town with bus just outside going in both directions.
Staff very friendly got a complimentary room upgrade as we were celebrating daughters birthday and wedding anniversary. Our room main bedroom the blind in shower very dirty looked mouldy I used a towel to clean and saw that it was easy to clear housekeeping definitely dropped the ball with that. Ordered drinks at the pool. It took forever to get the drinks we were only two families at pool so not sure why it took them so long to deliver drinks
Slow service
Check in time is 3pm, I reached at 4:35pm, the counter told me room is not ready. I waited until 6pm, finally was given a room. The hotel compensated with buffet dinner, but I had a difficult time waiting especially my toddler was crying to sleep
Even though there were no restaurants or shopping options near the hotel use of Grab cars was a inexpensive ride to anywhere you wanted to go
Excellent service especially all staff very helpful when my husband need help to hospital
Musty
The room smelt musty and damp and the bedsheets felt wet so not a comfortable sleep
I wasn't wowed by this hotel or the dining choices but the staff was lovely, the food was good and the view from my terrace room was beautiful. the resort can use a little refresh as the furniture was a little worn and the decor a little tired. I was surprised that the mini bar remained unfilled the whole time I was there as I thought the terrace rooms included a stocked mini bar. I guess I could have complained but I just kept on thinking they would get to it. I will know better for next time.
The room was spacious and comfortable and the balcony was a welcome addition with an amazing view The hotel is a resort and unless you are comfortable taking all meals there and doing things within the resort you are better off getting a cheaper place at Batu Ferringhi
Park Royal is better
When we arrived the entrance hall looked very impressive but unfortunately that’s where it stops! The room is dated and has chipped paint mold and marks everywhere especially in the bathroom and headboard of bed. We then went down to the pool and the pool is not very pleasant, there is building work next door so there is a black tarp blocking it and they are doing maintenance to there bridge to the beach so you can hear that constantly! The pool was dirty and the bean bags and cushioned chairs are damp through stained and old! The kids pool (which is what initially drew us in) has sand on the bottom of it which I don’t understand why and when my daughter went down the slides she hurt her bottom as a result! Though admittedly it didn’t stop her from playing it did put her off wanting to stay for a long time! In fact on our last day we went to a different hotel for a day pass to use there facilities as we really didn’t want to use the double tree facilities. The one redeeming factor for the hotel was the breakfast which was very pleasant and varied if a little cold. Other issues we had was the extreme prices at the bar. 4 drinks for 166RM was extreme for the area. Additionally we asked them to get us a taxi and were quoted 60RM which we declined as the grab app was showing 23RM! And took only 5 mins to arrive Also our lights stopped working completely, there was quality issues with grouting in the bathroom and the air conditioning stopped workin also. Very disappointing!
Great to have a balcony. Nice to have a beach across the way. The restaurant makes a nice breakfast. Had a steak sandwich with chips that was also quite good. You can take the bus in to town. May be a bit tricky to get a grab ...depending on time of day. I would stay again for sure.
it was great! had my granddad who is in a wheelchair also given an accessible room!
Good location away from busy tourist areas. Easy to get around as the hotel is on a main road and bus route. Great staff. Rooms need a refresh. Great for short stay.
Enjoyable Stay
The premise is nicely situated in Batu Ferringhi. The staff is very friendly and the hotel vibe is also very good. The lobby in particular is very nicely designed. The stay was also very comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The breakfast quality is fair, but can be improved a little more.
The staff were really nice, the pool was really great, the buffet breakfast every morning had massive amounts of choices. There is a small beach right across the road (the hotel has a private footbridge providing easy access) but nothing else within walking distance - the road is very busy with no sidewalks.
Good mid range hotel but very far from the city
Service was good, had a couple of staff who seem to have encountered many demanding guests before so their response to us was as though we had already asked many times when we were just asking the first time. But other staff were fabulous! We had issues with the door lock (had to reset a few times) and the safe was not working. However it was resolved quickly so not big an issue. They are busy in the morning so not the best time to call for help in the morning.
Personally the Best Room ever.
The staff and service were excellent. The family suite was the first time we ever got such a room. Perfect for our family of 5. Although 2 of our kids had to share a bed it was big enough for them! Definitely enough space for an extra bed if we had wanted to order it. The room was super spacious. With a large living n dining area. Only 4 dining chairs but with a roller office chair, we could sit down as a family to meals. We were there to chill and it was a real relaxing time. We got ocean view so sunsets were amazing.
We had a amazing stay
Clean and comfortable
My room came with a broken tap handle. The phone as extremely dirty. With some crumbs of dirt and the speaker was extremely smelly! I was taking a late shower as I checked in late on arrival day. And good thing the broken tap handle didn’t land on my foot. My room now is 433. When I called for house keeping, it took very long. Despite this, The staff which help me with the check was very polite and helpful. I love the batu Ferringhi beach area and I always love coming back to the double tree Hilton. But for this trip it was such disappointment. I hope they will be more mindful when cleaning for the next guest in future.
dinning waiting tooooooooooo long time.
Despite the limited transport options, I really like the facilities and rooms in the hotel.
Very helpful stuff, delicious meals served downstairs, clean and comfortable room
Slow service, inefficient staff. Check in slow. Have to run up & down to get room key and waited for 1 hour for the room key
Tranquility surround in an ECO nature except air con innroom is quite noisy
The room facilities are dated and not so clean. You can see black mark on the duvet and the blankets in our twin room was having moldy smell. The toilet’s wall and corner are moldy and rusty. When the room’s floor is wet, it would not dry until the next morning. The beach opposite the hotel is full of rocks and cannot swim there at all. Not a really nice location comparing to the price we paid. On the next day, we moved to another apartment in Gurney Drive which was cleaner, cheaper and much nicer
Nice hotel
Stay was overall good. Service is good.
Good to stay for vacation. We booked a room with ocean view, very enjoyable. Swimming pool and gym are good.
Very nice family resort with ocean view. Good breakfast, facility overall. Room and bedding was very comfortable. Only one thing is it's little far from the main shopping mall. Other than that, it's a recommendable resort hotel for a few days relaxation.
Wifi was down one day
Beautiful resort ! Front desk staffs are friendly and polite. The only area requires improvement is the breakfast ..layout and quality of ingredients. Overall, service staffs are attentive and helpful!
The friendly staff and services provided was great, definitely would come back to visit
Amazing hotel
Amazing hotel.
The towel sticks with hairs , curtains with blood stains
Many hotels do the mistake of putting the fridge which is overheating inside the closet, and what it does is that the refrigerator does not get cold enough. So, what I did was to put the refrigerator out of the closet so that the drinks inside could get cold enough. It is not only your hotel, but many hotels does the same mistake and it seems you dont care wether or not inside the refrigerator can get cold or not.
Beautiful seaside location
Overall good and clean room. Just no nearby restaurant or shops
Super friendly and very helpful staff in making our stay very comfortable, as well as guiding us in getting around and things to do in Penang.
good hotel
very good, clean and very professional support during the stay with WhatsApp support to stay connected.
There was blood stains on the bed sheet. Apologized and that was it.
Overall, we're quite happy with our stay here. The service staff and facilities were great. If there was one minor complaint it would be there were things like shower hose installed wrongly so it didn't sit right on the holder and stains on the bedding. Location was a little out from the main Batu Ferringhi beach area but it was nice to be away from the main bustle but close enough to be able to get there conveniently.
Property is a bit dated There is really no beach although the ad gives an impression there is one just 50m away. Great breakfast spread
Staff will discourage you to take Grab by saying Grab does not come here sooner which is not true and then will bring a driver on 50 MYR per hour minimum four hour and will force you to take tours. Driver they get will not start aircon until asked for. Cleaniness is pathetic , staff will forget to change towels have to constantly call them. And food is ok and is not that great or. Die for.
Great and friendly staff with a nice pool. We really enjoyed the property and breakfast buffet options with local and international options. The only drawbacks would be the stretch of beach close to the hotel is not the greatest and there is not much close by to the resort within walking distance but easily solved with a 10min cab ride to the batu feringhi area
Had a pleasant stay at Doubletree Resort. Stayed at their spacious family room and they had a good buffet variety at breakfast. The resort is however, quite far from the airport (we took about 50mins to reach the resort due to traffic) and it can take around 20-30mins to get to Georgetown as well depending on traffic conditions. Apart from that, the resort offers a relaxing getaway from the city buzz.
Service was very good. However room feels very outdated and the floors are wooden but sticky (unsure why). Additionally parking is difficult if you’re back after hours. One weird thing, if you need assistance to deliver things like extra towels, cutleries there is a service charge. Overall, satisfactory.

Booked king suite. Dust mites on mattress and sofa. Caused itched and rashes.
For a weekend stay, coming with a big family, it was just right. Breakfast is the best feature with plenty of choices which was good quality. The beach and sea across the bridge are not the cleanest and not recommended for swimming, unfortunately. Nice pool and ambience overall.
good view
We stayed in doubletree for 3 nights.. my room in poor condition. especially air con did not work properly… I could feel damp all time since I check in, which made me so sick… do not recommend at all
Very nice stay and the room is spacious. The only downside is the pathway for the indoor parking is very narrow so its a bit hard to drive in and out of the hotel
Not too many options for dinner, and A/C can’t adjust, too cold
Friendly Staffs

Love the place!!
Clean, comfortable
Great service. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Rooms are getting a little old but were clean and comfortable and very spacious.
Very bad
The hotel is very dirty and smelly. My room have lots of aunts on my bed and tables also the walls. Outside my room in the hall way the smell is disgusting like toilet smell which enters my room. My fridge is not working.. there was a person who is working in the lobby lounge was very rude to me and he made me feel i am not welcomed in his country. The location is the worst nothing around and not too much grab cars want to pick you back to the hotel. I can’t believe that this is 5 stars hotel.. the breakfast buffet the food is finished when I arrived and they dont refill. the only thing that i liked that they arranged something nice for my son birthday and also the band in the lobby sang for my son.
Amazing ocean view
Room 25 on the 10th floor (1025). Large terrace with spectacular views of the ocean. Room was a good size with separate lounge area. Breakfast buffet was awesome, loads of choices but very busy. We were there over a long weekend. Staff were super friendly and helpful when needed. Location was very isolated and required transport to get to any shops. Big hotel with lots of families and small children. Very child friendly with separate swimming pool and play area however the main pool was also used by the children. Not the quiet getaway we were hoping for unless we were in our room - which with such a big terrace and amazing views we didn't mind doing. Tip - download Grab app, for transport. Like uber but you pay the driver direct at the end of the trip- the set amount that is given by the app at time of booking. We don't understand some of the bad reviews we read prior to attending. The even approached us during one breakfast asking for feedback on our stay and appeared genuinely interested in our views. Food and beverage prices in the hotel were also reasonable, including room service with no hidden taxes and fees.
The welcoming cookie is a nice gesture. Very limited parking space. As a guest, we had to park along the roadside during the weekends
Spacious room and relaxing stay
The overall stay was great! Friendly staff and responsive (liked we can text to get service). During our stay, the air condition vent was leaking and the safe suddenly stopped working and a technician was sent right away to fix both the issues. However, the leaking issue continued to leak some water after getting fixed. Noticed the washroom door frame wood was starting to rot so might need to be replaced soon.
When booking with Expedia, I selected an apartment with balcony and high floor. At hotel I was placed in lower floor and the room had a strong smell of mold. After complaining I was given another room, better but far from expectation and price.
Beach access
Overall nice place to stay
Unable to used kid zone due to age restriction.
Beautiful reunion
We had a total of 4 rooms and my siblings and i had a wonderful reunion. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Great hotel, and away from the city.
Comfortable spacious room. Good breakfast and polite and helpful staff. The location is a little out of the way, we had to use Grab so sometimes it took a long time to get a ride from this location. Overall we enjoyed our stay, highly recommend this hotel.
Nice hotel by the beach, easily accessible by public transport and great for families with kids.
Excellent service but remote location
Excellent and friendly service. Location was a bit remote and not within walking distance to markets or foodcourt.
Sangat2 puas hati , berbaloi
The staff very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good but only the fan is out of service, overall very good
Lovely hotel for a family vacation. My daughter enjoyed the kids pool/playground and the kid’s breakfast area with computing materials. The family room was also a good deal and spacious. Highly recommend!
Remote hotel
The hotel is located quite far away from the airport as well as town. No eateries around and waited for some time to get transport as hotel no longer provides shuttle bus. Visited teddy bear museum located in the hotel while waiting for check in at 3pm
Overall service
Very good
In 2 days of my stay there, on both days the staff came and asked me for room number when I was having breakfast. There were 100s of other guests present at that time and no one was asked their room number. Clearly they don’t hide the fact that they treat guests on the basis of their race/country. Very disappointing to put it mildly.
Family trip
total 4 rooms booked on the same date and we requested stay at same floor the end arranged stay at lower floor without view . A bit disappointed on the viewing . Charlie ants season and make us feel uncomfortable because everywhere can see ants even toilet .
The room were comfortable. Beach is not suitable for swimming. Food could taste better and variety be added.
just so so
Beyond my expectation
I booked a twin guest room and they upgraded me to a King Deluxe Room with Balcony and sea view at no extra cost
The rooms were great with all the necessary amenities. However, it wasn't great to have the paid parking and the beach wasn't great so I had to drive to other areas.
The foods were excellent. The staffs are friendly.
very good
This Is A Dracula Hotel.
The only good experience I had was with the reservation manager who tried her level best to allocate our rooms close to each other (but with an additional charge). I have never been to any 5-star hotel that charges you extra on the facilities. It's like you're staying in a cheap budget motel/hostel. Asking for an empty bowl, RM5! Asking for an empty plate, RM5! Asking for the water, charged! I also could not understand why would you charge a hotel guest the parking fee. RM30 for valet? Seriously? This is really a Dracula Hotel.
