“Bayview Hotel Georgetown Penang holds a strategic position for exploring local street food and the arts scene, though the immediate neighborhood is slightly removed from the city's central bustle. The rooftop revolving restaurant stands out, providing impressive panoramic views of George Town. While the property shows some age, its location adjacent to a vibrant night food court is a definite plus for dining options.”
