Deview Hotel Penang

I’m here for the Penang Hill so the location of the hotel was perfect for me. Lots of great food options and 2 convenient stores few steps away. Room was great and got me good night sleep before and after my hill hike.

DeView is like my second home whenever I return to Penang to visit my elderly sisters. I have been a regular guest and each time I return I feel so at home here in DeView. Spacious room. Beautiful view of the city and hills on the 5th floor of my room. Good location with lots of food stalls at a foodcourt and coffee shops near the hotel. However the toiletries can be improved especially the quality of the bar soap leaves hand feeling oily after wash and toilet roll is too thin. There is no hand towels place in the room. Each time I return, I have to request for it from housekeeping and not always available. This time of my stay, I was told the Akino Restaurant no longer serve breakfast. I was so looking forward to morning breakfast during my previous stays. Although the spread were limited, but to me it was sufficient for a simple meal. There is a new halal restaurant, Warung Mamak took over the site which serves roti bakar set with 2 half boiled eggs and a cup of coffee. Cheap and good if you are lazy to walk to the nearby foodcourt for breakfast.

We only stayed 1 night, strategic location to the places we wanted to visit. The a/c is strong, we mistakenly set too low so we were freezing throughout the night. Good for those who like it that way.
