Potentially could be better.

The Hard Rock hotel Penang is starting to show its age. Overall is a good hotel that needs a lot of maintenance in the rooms and swimming pool. Staff were brilliant and with the exception of breakfast was really good. Breakfast tends to cater more for Asian guests, beef bacon or turkey ham just doesn’t cut it.

Is not what I have expected - especially during breakfast, kids carry drinks around and wet the floor which is dangerous for elderly - but no one clean up. Limited breakfast choices. Not many taxi available as we got to wait for like 8-20 mins to grab a cab.

This was my second stay at the HRP the first being excellent, but this time around we were disappointed in our room. The bedding had a damp feel to it which was quickly changed by staff. However the room in general felt and smelt damp. May be the hotel is suffering from water damage. Must say it was totally the opposite to our stay 6 months earlier in a different part of the hotel. Hotel is undergoing renovation to entrance foyer which is looking fantastic. Staff are amazing just disappointed in the musky damp condition of the room.

Very enjoyable stay. Obviously very busy with the start of school holidays in Malaysia and lots of visitors but still managed to find little areas of peace & sunbeds by the pool! Staff all excellent and friendly - common areas clean and enjoyable to relax in. Facilities good - the main restaurant and "Pizzeria" very clean, good food & lovely staff. Swimming pools good with areas for families (ie kids) and adults. Splash area was looking a little worn with the underfoot surface degraded but not unexpected considering the heavy use. Breakfast amazing. Good quality and enough to go round even when it was at its most craziest! Only thing I'll say is please make more teh tarik - it always ran out by 9am and no top up. Room great (we had a seaview) - large clean and had all the storage we needed and amenities (two bottles of water a day & tea/ coffee making facility). TV entertainment brilliant with plenty of movies and TV shows available. Overall very happy and look forward to staying again!
