My family and I recently enjoyed a stay at Angsana Teluk Bahang and found it to be the perfect choice for a relaxing staycation. Located on the quieter side of Penang, the resort is about 40–50 minutes from George Town, which may feel a little far from the city centre, but that's exactly what makes it special.
If you're looking to escape the traffic, crowds, and bustle of town, Angsana offers a peaceful beachfront retreat with plenty of space to unwind. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with beautiful sea views, and the beach is not crowded at all.
The infinity pool overlooking the sea was a favourite spot for our family, especially in the evenings when the sunset painted the sky over the Straits of Malacca.
The staff were consistently friendly and attentive, helping to make the stay smooth and enjoyable from check-in to departure.
Although the resort feels secluded, it's still only a short drive from Batu Ferringhi if you want to explore local food, night markets, or nearby attractions. For us, however, the best part was simply slowing down and enjoying the calm surroundings.
Overall, Angsana Teluk Bahang is an excellent option for families seeking a relaxing beachfront staycation. While it is some distance from the city, the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful sea views, and resort facilities make it well worth the trip, will definitely come again!
Overall, it was satisfying. The staff were polite and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. If possible, I'd suggest upgrading the TV channels; there were too few options. For guests like us who stay a bit longer, it gets a bit boring because there aren't any good TV programs.
Located in the heart of Penang, a bit far from the Old Town, but the living environment and surrounding amenities are excellent. The living conditions are much better than in the Old Town, and the area is very vibrant.
It was my husband's ***** birthday on the day we checked in, so I had requested a simple room decoration beforehand. The hotel room staff told me they would fold two elephants out of towels, which I thought was already very thoughtful! Then, they even sent up a cake, which I really appreciated! These warm gestures made our Penang trip truly memorable. The room was clean and comfortable, and even though it was a little dated, it wasn't run-down. I was very satisfied with this experience and would definitely stay here again if I have the chance.
”Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the facilities were excellent. The breakfast offered a great variety of local and international dishes. However, the fried carrot cake and loh shu fun were slightly overcooked during our visit. Other than that, the food was enjoyable, and we had a fantastic experience. We would happily stay here again.
Facilities: The facilities and equipment are quite old-fashioned, like the door handles, faucets, and switches, but they all work perfectly and have a great sense of history.
Cleanliness: The hygiene was excellent. Housekeeping even came in the mornings to offer fresh towels and drinking water.
Environment: The environment is beyond words. I think it's the best and quietest area in George Town, right by the sea. The sunrises and sunsets were incredibly relaxing.
Service: As soon as the taxi pulled up to the hotel, a doorman was there to greet us, help with luggage, and check us in. The front desk staff spoke multiple languages, making check-in very smooth. Our luggage was quickly brought to our room by a doorman. The F&B staff were all very warm and attentive.
This time, I stayed in the Deluxe Heritage Wing Suite, which was incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend!
New experience in staying at traditional Malay house style with a long corridor. We booked family room with 3 spacious bedrooms, living toom, open kitchen etc. which suit a big family to stay. The breakfast quality and quantity needed to improve as very limited choices.
The location is excellent, the environment is great, and the price is affordable. There are plenty of food options downstairs, which is very convenient. The only downside is that the service is a bit lacking; I hope they improve the service quality.
Environment: The hotel isn't very big, but it's small and exquisite, with direct beach access. There are three pools, two large and one small, with the smallest being a 0.5-meter kiddie pool, which is quite tiny. I booked a deluxe sea view room, but apparently, all rooms of this type have a side sea view. I'm not sure what makes it 'deluxe' – I really disliked it 👎. If a direct sea view is important to you, don't book this hotel.
Service: Everything else was pretty good, except for the Indian front desk lady at the Chinese restaurant.
Beware: If there's a private event, it will take over the best public areas of the hotel. Honestly, the thing I disliked most throughout my stay was that the 'sea view room' didn't have a proper sea view at all.
It is a beautiful place to stay, we love it, especially the bathtub and the swimming pool, but there are some things that we really regret, the first menu for breakfast is the same menu on saturday and sunday please change it, the second its buggy not provide for our, who parking car far from the lobby hotel, the third its towel you don't provide for extra , l'm with three people in one room 2 adults and 1 children, we had to share towel..please considered it..this is my second time staying here..

Very Good
RRawaaidaSo satisfied! Just jumped straight into the pool whenever I wanted a swim. The food was delicious with lots of choices. My kids were happy playing at the playground on the 8th floor. And it was free! 😊 ✨

PPetrelHad a fantastic stay! The room was spacious and very comfortable. The free parking was a huge bonus. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Unlike other hotels that offer a welcome drink, Sho Hotel provides a complimentary coffee/tea/orange juice every single day. If you stay for several days, you get several drinks – it's such a thoughtful touch! I'd redeem mine every morning before heading out, and the staff would put it in a to-go cup for me to take with me. Absolutely delightful! ❤️
Sho Hotel will definitely be my first choice next time I visit Penang!

YyuleimorrisPros: Although the decor is a bit dated, the overall service and facilities are still up to par. The rooms in RaSa Wing are generally spacious, with a separate walk-in closet, and a large living room. The TV on the desk can be pulled out and rotated. There are also daily welcome snacks (dried fruits). For breakfast, you can choose the mainstream buffet at Garden Wing, or for a more unique experience, order à la carte at the RaSa restaurant on the second floor – their Hokkien Mee and Curry Mee are very authentic! The overall service level is also on point; you can take a shuttle from the concierge at the entrance to Golden Sands' swimming pool, and the staff are very friendly and greet you warmly. The overall facilities and service meet Shangri-La standards.
Cons:
1. The parent-child facilities are not extensive enough, not as good as many domestic hotels: Basically, only the pool is available for play. Even at Golden Sands' water park, there's only one small slide, and there's always a queue, so it's not particularly impressive. There is a kids' club, but it requires an extra fee (though not expensive). Other parent-child activities are limited and not available daily, and it feels like we didn't receive schedule notifications on the RaSa Wing side. The parent-child experience is a minus.
2. The Concierge informed me that RaSa Wing guests could order free soft drinks at the pool bar (including Golden Sands), but when I actually went to Golden Sands, I was told that RaSa Wing guests couldn't enjoy this benefit there.
3. The food options provided during Happy Hour are more Western-oriented, with very few Chinese dishes, and the taste is mediocre. It's fine to try it once on the first day, but don't have high expectations.
4. The beach has been eroded, which is a major drawback for a beachfront hotel to not have a beach.
Suggestions: You can walk to Batu Ferringhi beach; taking a taxi might get stuck in traffic. I don't recommend the durian stall at the RaSa Wing hotel entrance; instead, go to the durian stall at the Golden Sands entrance (only available at night), the quality is much better!

GGuest UserExceeded expectations! Very good location linked to Gurney Plaza and lots of food options along the streets. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Basic amenities are provided including bedroom slippers, toothbrush, cotton pad, etc. Buffet breakfast has good variety. Would be returning to this property the next time I’m in Penang.
