Queen Victoria Clock Tower Tours

Unique hotel. Love the peranakan style.

If you stay here, you must book a sea view balcony room….the ocean view day and night is beautiful…since it’s on a public beach, you sometimes get firework show from the locals too. The bed is so comfortable and enough room to sleep three. We had minor problems with a clogged sink and a broken shampoo dispenser but that was quickly resolved once we notified housekeeping (A on the response and even tidied up our bed). The infinity pool and children’s pool kept everyone very happy and cool. If you only have time for one excursion, it should be a hike in the Penang National Park. For dinner, make that reservation for the shuttle to night market. It’s free round trip 6-9pm. This is important if you want to grab some souvenirs and inexpensive local Malaysian food. Breakfast at resort has a wide variety of Asian and Western dishes…but go before 8:30am or near closing time at 10:30 to avoid the long lines. Food onsite is very pricy and not necessarily everyone’s cup of tea. Speaking of Afternoon Tea….it was underwhelming. It was not quite English nor Malaysian. I left hungry….we learned to love Grab Eats and the Night Market for food. Overall, a very relaxing resort with beautiful ocean views. Only need to improve on minor details. Lastly, I wish front desk would check and ask how we are doing and if we needed anything.

Typically stay one night here when flying out of Penang
