Wonderful pool that sists mostly in the shade. Looking forward to see the transformation after the refurbishments coming in the coming years. In the mean time it’s a cozy, elegant old school hotel with great service and delicious breakfast.
Location is great view from room sensational.
Breakfast reasonable quality cost was ok.
Bathroom tiles had mould and toilet did not flush properly. Shower was in need of replacement not better than leaking hose tied to pole.
House keeping forgot towels had to contact staff 3 times to get towels at 9:30 pm

The Bayview is a good hotel, well located with decent dining options and friendly staff. The rooms are big and have everything you would need inside them. The hotel is just a little dated however and needs a bit of TLC. Overall would happily stay here again.
I liked the staff and their hospitality. The hotel is good value for the money. The room service is excellent. the sea-view from the room is breath-taking.

Overall this was a big surprise, as I had read mixed reviews that were posted, yes it is an older hotel but it has great charm and larger rooms only minutes from the centre of George Town, and the best thing of all the staff were amazing , and the food was excellent

Bayview did upgrade me 2 rooms . Friendly front guest n room service are excellent
The hotel is very nice, but it is dated. It is good value for money. The swimming pool is very big and there is a nice gym. It is walking distance to most attractions.
Staff fantastic, hotel quite dated, but excellent breakfast. No mention of the rooftop bar being closed for renovation! We were looking forward to that.
Our room was not clean - dust on a lot of surfaces and the fridge-freezer desperately needed de-icing.
We had to keep asking for things like soap, towels, and toilet paper as there wasn't enough. The soaps were tiny so we ended up buying our own.
There is a school right across from the hotel so we were woken up by the outdoor assembly (with microphone) at 7.30am and once or twice a bagpipe rehearsal at 7.45am. Not even kidding.
The breakfast was excellent. A huge buffet with all kinds of food; hot dishes, cold dishes, veggie dishes, eggs cooked at the egg station for you, fruit, cereal, desserts, you name it. Plenty of seating, too.
The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, and we really felt taken care of in that respect.

Good location with a nice view of the bay, convenient to walk to many locations in George Town.
Room facilities are very average and a bit dated for a 4-star hotel.

Nice hotel with a great location . The rooms are nice spacicious . The room we had a very noisey family above us . The reception area is good and all you need . Great linkntonthe local buses . The CAT bus is free and takes you on a loop of the city .
We were able to extend our holidays a couple of times without any issues or problem. The hotel is very centrally located and easy excess. Walking distance to shopping and food courts. I would definitely come back and stay here again
