What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hompton Hotel by the Beach is praised for its beachfront location and sea views, spacious rooms, and friendly service, while common drawbacks include a small, chilly pool and the distance from Georgetown.

Breakfast is frequently described as plentiful and tasty, and the food court or night market across the road is a convenient option. Several guests report maintenance or cleanliness issues such as mold, dust, worn furnishings, and sporadic housekeeping, plus occasional air-conditioning problems, slow lifts, tricky parking, and inconsistent pool etiquette. Expect a scenic, good-value beachfront stay with standout views, tempered by aging or tightly managed facilities in places.

Facilities

Direct beach access and a pool with sea views are positives, but multiple reviews say the pool is small, shaded or cold, and short on loungers, with a two towels per room policy. Steam room closures, limited parking, slow lifts, and lax pool oversight were also reported.

The hotel is great, clean and good location. However we had pretty unpleasant experience at the pool - they only allowed 2 towels per room and we booked a family room for 4pax. In general, we experienced most of the staff are trained to follow the rules instead of creating good experience for their guest.

The hotel has direct beach access and the view is truly amazing. You literally cannot be closer to the beach. However, I found the property to be very dated and in dire need of a refurbishment. The door frames are peeling, there’s a constant smell of smoke in the corridors and the soft furnishings have clearly been overused. In addition, the housekeeping is very hit and miss - we had to call on several occasions as they did not come to our room. Another thing that might not be the hotel’s fault, but I found the pool unusable. It might be because of the clientele of the hotel (although it is not cheap), but the pool etiquette of guests is very poor and there is no staff oversight. For instance, the pool chairs were all taken up by fully dressed men on their phones and ogling at the women. People were going into the pool with a full face of make up and outside clothes. It was very disappointing for me to not be able to swim but I just felt too uncomfortable. I think the hotel needs a refurbishment and rebrand so it can make use of its wonderful location and attract a different clientele.

Loved how spacious my room was. And the view of the beach was lovely. The pool was nice but sadly mostly in the shade, not receiving enough sun. The hotel was located very near a food court, so that was very handy when it came to meals. However, Hompton is situated quite a distance from Georgetown, so it's not so convenient if you have lots of things to do there.

Rooms were outdated with leaks. Only 3 lifts serving 32 storeys, with 1 broken down. Had to wait over 20 minutes for lifts, if I wasnt heabily pregnant I would have just walked down the 15 flights. Everything was slow, though staff were very friendly the service was incredibly slow. The lobby is terribly small and it cannot cooe during the local holidays. Again, nothing against thr staff who were very kind and pleasant. The hotel just isn't it!

Hot water pressure is bad, sometimes during the days there is no hot water at all. I’m not sure if the pump doesn’t have the capacity to work for high floors, or if they switch off the pump during sleeping hours, but it’s completely bad. The rooms needs more furniture or a better way to reduce the outside noise. You can hear everything happening in the next door rooms, in the upstairs room, and in the hall. The hotel clearly needs some conditioning.

This property is quite a gem for those who are travelling with family and/or young children and need to spend time in the room. For the price, I cannot think of a better hotel I have stayed at. Our suite was very spacious with an incredible ocean view. The air conditioner took some time to get going but, we realize from staying in other hotels, it was for our good because it did not turn the room into an ice box and we were able to sleep very comfortably. The staff was outstanding and commendable for traditional Asian hospitality. They were the strongest asset of the hotel, in this writer's opinion. In addtion, the breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious. If one wants to eat out on a whim's notice, the street food in front is clean, popular and, oh so yummy! Highly recommend the Hompton hotel for value, quality and overall excellence.

The hotel, location, and the service were all good. There were some discrepancies in the room. The manager was very kind and he took care of them. The only complaint that I had was the first lady at the front desk who answered the call when I tried to tell her my room was not made completely. She instead of apologizing and solving the issue, she asked me if I requested to have my room cleaned. That was not professional and not acceptable. The beaches were useless. They were dirty and empty.

My friend recommended me this property when she visited Penang last month-singing praises on the location & dining that is why I decided to book to celebrate my birthday first time in Penang. :) I reached just in time for check in and when I got to the room there was a birthday cake in the minibar fridge. What a surprise! Room was clean, has a fabulous view of the beach and of course clean sheets. I am definitely impressed! Overall, staff were friendly (especially housekeeping staff) and ready to assist. And I wish the in-room dining hours starts earlier than 11am to accommodate guests who might want to leave hotel earlier for their itinerary or to the airport. Definitely will recommend my friends and family to stay at the Hompton by the beach!
