Hotel review #2 : Hard Rock Hotel Penang

Another hotel review to share. It was our second visit to Penang, last visit we stayed at Shangri La Golden Sands for a romantic getaway. but this time around we decided to try the Hard Rock Hotel instead. this was our second hard rock hotel experience for us, we stayed at HRH Bali in 2007 before.

so basically upon checked in, u will be served with welcome drinks at the lobby. we booked superior room, but was given free upgrade to deluxe room. yeay!! :)

 

spacious room, comfortable bed and warm pillows ( u can even request different types of pillows up to your likings) = double triple joy!

 

in-room entertainment delight (and my striking-orange watch!haha)

  

dari bilik boleh terus mengintai org dlm toilet! :p

 

now u see...

now u dont!!

the balcony

 

 view of the hotel from the beach

 

hugeeee pool!! siap ada water slides etc lagi.

 

kalau sewa suites boleh terus terjun masuk kolam dr balkoni bilik! 

we would highly recommend the hotel. worth every single cents. actually ada banyak lagi pics, but i think that wud be enough for now kot.. lagipon, confirm akan revisit next time kalau ke penang! :)

 

Hotel review #1: Hyatt Regency Kuantan

Cerita basi, tapi still nak uplod gambar dan bagi review gak! hehehe Kitorg buat adhoc weekend trip ke Kuantan early Mac lepas, untuk chillax by the beach. bila bukak tripadvisor, antara hotel yg dapat rating paling tinggi ialah Hyatt Kuantan, so haruslah try stay sana kan. we booked the cheapest room which  is not that cheap! with breakfast.

hotel ni betul2 kat pantai teluk chempedak, tersangat senang nk locate. u wont miss it. 

they have a private beach 50m from the hotel. pool biasa2 aje.

our room. we had garden view deluxe.

king size bed. biasa2 je, quite surprising that the bed was so old and not comfy at all! our bed kat rumah lagi comfortable. :(

saiz bilik pun kecik je. (maybe sebab kitorg amik bilik paling murah kot? wallahua'lam!) :) furniture pon buruks, tahun 90s punya furnitures. bilik ni memang betul2 perlukan refurbishment, utk mengekalkan status 5 star Hyatt. :(

nothing to shout about. even bilik mandi/toilet pon biasa2 ajer. tak sampai hati nak publish gambar kat sini. adala bunga orkid 3-4 kuntum, tu pon mcm dah nak layu. :) toileteries pon biasa2 je.

utk breakfast kena tambah extra charges, kalau tak silap dlm RM70 utk 2 paxs. fair servings, tp view was fantastic! breakfast mengadap laut china selatan dgn sea breeze memang refreshing... :)

all in all, for us the hotel was fair, nothing to shout about. the hotel needs massive refurbishments. I think Zenith Kuantan was far better than Hyatt. ok next vacay kena try Club Med Cherating pulak, tapi tabung cap ayam belum penuh2 lagi.. :p hehehehe
