I know what we paid is what we got, but this is the worst hotel that I ever stayed. Room is smelly, wifi only works on certain corner in the room. And worst, they charged RM5 for an ice bucket. I was giving them 2 stars, but the ice bucket incident really a bad move, well, so as the non... More

We had a generously sized room with a sea facing balcony on the tenth floor. The bathroom was also a good size with space for you to put your toiletries. The room and bathroom fittings were a little dated however the bed was really comfortable and everything was clean so we thought it was really great value for money.

Returned to The Copthorne Orchid Hotel after three or four years since our last stay. Overall not a lot had changed. Our room was on the fourteenth floor, it looked as though it had been refurbished not long ago as it was nice and fresh. We had a lovely large comfortable bed and the bathroom although a bit dated was... More

We went there in last week. It was more than what I had expected. Check in is fast, get our room at 10 floor, no 1014, it was a Standard Twin Room. First went in, it was okay overall, however we found out the sink in the toilet is leaking water. We went to lobby and they upgrade us to... More

Stayed for 5 nights middle May 2013. Older hotel but well maintained, the entrance is huge, rooms quite big with big beds, view from the rooms is unreal with each having sea views. Pool was out of action for repairs until the last day but was excellent when back in action. You can go down to the beach, really quiet... More

This is what we wanted for our holiday in penang and the hotel provide just what was expected of them. The room size is good not small and quite ample space. Love the... More

Don't let the foyer reception area fool you! This looks good! But the most important thing about staying in a hotel is to have a good comfortable room. Unfortunately they are ALL dated and smell bad. For the price we were NOT happy bunnies. We booked 10 nights here and thank heavens we got a full refund from agoda for... More

Hotels with private beach in Penang are pretty expensive, if you want to pay less with sea view, this is the not bad hotel, location is convinient. This is the old hotel but well maintained, rooms are spacious, my family (2 adults & 2 children) stayed comfortably. My children enjoyed the pool and beach very much, it is not the... More

- Property is very tired and long overdue for renovation. - The lobby was in a recess area and had to take the stairway which can be tiring if you have lots of luggage. On time of arrival there was no bellman to be seen. - Food spread was nothing to shout about. Can be considered basic.

This hotel needs to be knocked down or completely renovated. It is not worth the money they are charging on booking.com. We stayed during the Vesak long weekend, when it was overrun by Malay church groups who made our stay unenjoyable by their disregard for other hotel guests.The hotel is literally falling apart and the staff are doing their best...
