A beachfront hotel in Tanjung Bungah with direct access to the Andaman Sea, an outdoor pool, and a 24-hour gym.
Last updated August 8, 2026
Mercure Penang Beach sits directly on the beach in Tanjung Bungah, on the northern coast of Penang Island, with rooms offering Andaman Sea views. The hotel's amenities include an outdoor pool, an All Day Dining restaurant, and a 24-hour gym, with free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. Guests consistently praise the beachfront location and pool area, though reviews describe the property's overall atmosphere as showing its age, with some guests noting rooms would benefit from refurbishment, and the location's distance from George Town's historic centre a genuine consideration.
