Loved our stay here. Location was excellent and the service was soooooo good. I’d 100% recommend. Our room was on the 3rd floor and overlooked the pool and ocean and even had a bath on the balcony.
I worked from here for a week from about 6am to 1pm and was then able to head out exploring, eating and drinking each afternoon. Penang starts to come alive from about 7pm and this accommodation was in the best spot to explore.

So, I stayed at Lone Pine for three nights, and it was...interesting. Like, some parts were great, and others made me go "huh?"
First of all, I appreciated the upgrade to a suite for Marriott Ti member, but the room was right on top of some kind of noisy machines and had a really basic view of the rooftop of the restaurant. I think I would not accept the upgrade and keep the basic room the next time.
Ok, I’ll go to the details.
Service: This was the most variable aspect. While the majority of the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, even remembering my name, the front desk was frequently understaffed, leading to frustrating delays, especially during peak hours. This inconsistency significantly impacted my overall impression.
Room & Maintenance: The room itself was generally comfortable, but some furniture was showing signs of wear and tear, indicating a need for better maintenance. The modern amenities were a plus, but this was offset by the very limited selection of TV channels.
Breakfast: The breakfast experience was pleasant, if not spectacular. I appreciated the outdoor seating by the pool, which created a relaxed atmosphere and avoided the usual breakfast rush. However, the food selection was quite limited, leaving much to be desired.
Beach & Surroundings: The hotel's beach access is a definite advantage, but be prepared for a lively atmosphere. The water sports activities can make it quite noisy, and the water itself was not exceptionally clear.
Overall: Lone Pine has the potential to be a great hotel, but it needs to address some key areas. The friendly staff and modern room features are positives, but the inconsistent front desk service, maintenance issues, and limited breakfast selection detract from the overall experience. If they can improve these areas, this hotel could be a real gem.

This was my first visit here, and we felt comfortable and relaxed. The hotel is very kid-friendly, especially with the private pool in the room, allowing kids to play whenever they like.
We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, and child really enjoyed the pool. Plus, the beach is just a short walk from the hotel, right in front of it.
There is plenty of parking available, so there’s no need to worry even if you return late.
The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome.
I would definitely stay here again if I visit Penang in the future.

I checked into this lovely hotel for a two-night stay and was pleasantly surprised with an upgrade upon arrival! The room was incredibly cozy and spotlessly clean, making it the perfect retreat after a day of exploring.
What truly stood out during my stay was the friendliness of the staff. They were always ready with a smile and willing to help with any inquiries I had. It’s clear that they genuinely care about making your stay enjoyable.
The location is another highlight; it’s just a short walk to the Ferringhi Market, which is packed with local vendors and delicious food options. Overall, my experience was fantastic, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay!
