Lone Pine Hotel

Stayed at Lone Pine Hotel for a short beach getaway. The hotel has a lovely, old-school charm with lots of greenery and a peaceful vibe. The room was clean, spacious, but insects n lizards can come in from the toilet windows It’s right by the beach, which made morning walks really enjoyable. Some staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. That said, there’s honestly not much to do around the hotel itself. If you’re looking for something fun, lively, or more activity-based, this might feel a bit too quiet. It’s great for resting, reading, and just doing nothing — which might be exactly what some people want! Overall, a good place to slow down and unwind. I wouldn’t mind coming back if I needed a break from the city.

Liked: 1. The breakfast is amazing! With a big variety of good food suitable for different tastes. We loved their fresh veggies & fruits, yogurt, and cheese! The eggs station was also very efficient. The hotel offers different kinds of coffee and tea, human-made and machine-made, hot and cold. 2. The room size is good, it feels spacious and well-structured. 3. The hotel's soundproofing is good and it is very quiet at night. Disliked: 1. The 'Tourism Tax', which is special to Penang, Malaysia, for the UNESCO Protected Heritage's reason, was not mentioned anywhere. The hotel only updates Booking.com for this information. Everyone who booked the hotel in any other way would feel 'surprised' by the fact that this is not included in the 'Government Taxes & Fees'. 2. The housekeeping staff at the hotel is definitely understaffed, and it always takes more than an hour to send something to the room. 3. It often rains here at night, so the balcony always looks dirty, especially the bathtub on the balcony, with leaves and sand blown in by the wind. But this bathtub has no shower head, only a fixed tap, so we can't actually rinse the walls of the bathtub. We didn't use the bathtub once in our 4-night stay. 4. The trees in the hotel were so tall that we couldn't see any sea view at all.

A very secluded resort in Batu Ferringhi. Enjoyed the luxurious services and accomodation. Everything seems to slow down once one enters the resort. Totally relaxed at the balcony in the sea fronting room, the waves beat up a relaxing music that quickly anesthesize me into good afternoon nap. Love the breakfast, each morning I will be first one taste every dish the resort prepared for the ingredients are fresh and generously served. Can feel that everyone in the resort is passionate in making the foods taste better at each moment. Customer service is top level. Will recommend newly weds to come here for vacation honeymoon.

This is an outstanding boutique hotel. Very nice rooms, great views and location, good food attentive hospitality staff, nice quiet pool. The secret sauce to this hotel is the vibe and service. That starts from the top with one of the managers, Murali. She was attentive and very helpful suggesting things for us to do on our stay and providing arrangements. That filters down to all the staff. They knew our coffee orders in the morning and our drink orders at the pool. The cleaning staff took care of all our needs. Great local food is right outside the front door. I’ve been a Marriott member for over 35 years and I intend to make this gem a regular stop.

Very nice hotel. We stayed here for 10 days. Amazing breakfast, superb swimming pool, good location to get around the island by local buses or Grab. Try the watersport just outside on the beach, kids had a lot of fun!
