Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a nice and quiet environment for privacy, but the family room's toilet is small. The location is strategic, near the weekend market and the Hardrock Penang, although it can be crowded during peak hours. The dining experience, while with homemade jams, doesn't offer much variety and may feel over crowded. The service is personalized, with the Housekeeping crew remembering your preferences.
The Hard Rock Penang is a mix of modern design with a touch of antiquity, featuring clean and comfortable rooms. The service is friendly, but with minor hiccups. The location offers convenience near the beach, although there are slight drawbacks. The dining experience is average, and the facilities are decent.
I loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and I could even access the pool from my own balcony with sun loungers. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was the size of the room for two people, but overall a great experience.
The hotel has spacious rooms with a Living Room, Master Bedroom, and a 'Guest Bedroom,' 2 bathrooms with bathtubs, and a nice view of the pool. The room attendant was friendly, making the stay enjoyable for our family. The location offers local dining options and convenience stores nearby, though it may be a bit out of the way from the town. The dining experience, while good, could benefit from more variety, especially for breakfast. Overall, the service was friendly and efficient, offering comfort throughout the stay.
The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms with separate areas for kids' beds, including a Living Room, Master Bedroom, and a 'Guest Bedroom'. The service is friendly and ensures smooth operations despite minor hiccups. The location is well-maintained and close to the beach, though slightly noisy due to nearby chillers. The dining options are good but repetitive over time, and the price could be more aligned with the overall experience.
Staying at the hotel was an absolute blast! The rooms were cozy and full of fascinating musical decor, and the beach was a real treat. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff making my stay rockin' good. The location offered direct beach access, but navigating to town was a bit tricky. Dining had plenty of variety with huge portions at the Hard Rock Cafe, although the breakfast queues were a downside.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a fantastic poolside view. While the rooms were well-maintained and cozy, there was a minor inconvenience with a whistling nozzle at night. The service demonstrated a commitment to safety and recovery efforts, although at times it felt a bit slow. The location provided a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere but was slightly out of the bustling areas. The dining options were good but slightly repetitive. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor hiccups.
