Eastin Hotel Penang

8/10 Good

"Location is good . Walking distance to queenbay mall. The room was spacious . However It’s time for the hotel to change the bath towels. One of the towel was torn at the edge. The hotel has nice pool . We intended to have a swim but change our mind when we saw someone did not wear proper swim suit ( she wore own tshirt ) in the pool. Swimming pool should has regulation on swimming attire. The hotel provided very good breakfast spread. Overall we had a good stay with very friendly staff from front office - Lim , service staff’s team and team of Chefs . Will stay here again in our next visit."
