The facilities and services here are terrible, the TV reception is blur, water from hot shower not hot at all, no hair dryer, toilet seat crack, sound from next room can be heard loudly, etc The receptionists do not understand English well because they are foreign workers, tend to misunderstand what you say The housekeeping wakes you up early morning...

I found the Pearl View to be an outdated hotel in a working section of Prai. Although i travel a lot in Asia by myself, often walking around neighborhoods, I did not feel safe doing so here in the middle of the day. The breakfast buffet was not good, and I ended up eating only cold cereal and tea -... More

I used to stay in Pearl View a few times about 6 years ago and I have to say I was surprised by the way the overall quality of the hotel has gone down. First of all, the value of the room did not reflect the quality that it deserves. At RM 140.00 for a standard room at the new... More

I stayed here while on business in Penang. The hotel is basic, and seems like it was very nice maybe 10 years ago. It's not very well equipped for business travellers - no irons, hairdriers or toiletries provided in the rooms, although an iron and hardrier were provided when I asked for them. It's fine for a night, but I... More

My trip to Penang and the Pearl View Hotel was in July 2011. The location is adequate and reasonably convenient, on the mainland but not too far from the big bridge over to the island. My host recommended the hotel and it was convenient for them. First and most important -- book the "Delux" rooms. My host booked a "standard... More

NOTE: Park at the 3rd or 4th floor as the new wing is accessible from the both parking entrance but the first entrance (near the petrol station) parking area's lift would take you directly to the...

The hotel is conveniently located close to some of the industries and the hotel is clean with an average breakfast. The Lotus spa is also value for money with a fairly good massage and the use of the Sauna and Jacuzzi with a small snack served after your done.
