Property is right at the Penang Beach. It was nice to walk down the beach in the morning. I am thankful to the hotel for recognising Accor Status and upgrading the room with welcome letter and some amenities too. What can be improved is the the staff. Training them with check in procedures,despite me who had already paid by Accor Points and exact amount due was mentioned they charged excess amoun...

I love the Mercure Penang hotel. The receptionists were friendly, courteous and helpful. The hotel room was superb! However, I feel that the service in their cafe (Ombak) could be improved. I stayed there from 25 - 27 Nov 2025 and enjoyed the cafe and the scenery of course! However, I felt rushed when the waiter brought the bill early (around 7 pm) even though the cafe closes around 9.45 pm and ...

The price is reasonable especially ...

We only managed to check in at 430pm. I...

Prior to check-in, I contacted the hotel to request that our room be ready between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m. As an Accor Gold Member, I was slightly...
