Guest Reviews
- Amir (8/5): Very good -
- Aisyah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hazrra (8/5): Very good -
- Pannirndr (9/5): Superb -
- Jane (5/5): Was expecting better - Location Old n run down
- Sanesh (3/5): Very basic 90s style hotel. - Location was great. 1. The staff need to learn what hospitality is. Everytime i asked for help they would tell me do it myself. Eg. I asked if i could use the bin at reception and shw said to use the one down stairs.
2. The elevator is creeky when moving.
3. The pool was closed for the entire week with no prior warning. No discount or apology was offered. When asked when it would open they would say tomorrow.
4. I was given 2 pool towel cards but couldnt ise it because the pool was closed. So iasked for 2 towels to take to the beach, this turned out be massive motivational speech as to why i needed the towel and what i was going to do with it.
5. The i was never offered any help with anything. Porter, tours, restaurants or laundry.
6. The hall ways look like its out of a spooky movie. There are many abandoned rooms when walking down to your room. Broken door latches, broken trimmings, broken signs, broken lights, ripped carpets etc.
7. The room was very worn out. The shower cubicle was grimmy. We didnt use it at all. There was a few lizzards running the rooms too.
8. The kitchen utensils were non existent.
9. Fridge didnt work.
10. The cleaning staff lacked basic equipment. There was lady sweeping a carpet in the lobby were the kids play. This could have been executed better with a vacuum cleaner. All around the hotel there was staff using out dated tools.
11. there was no telephone in the room. No way to contact reception.
12. Hair dryer was useless.
13. None of the plugs catered for international plugs for international guests

- Hashim (5/5): Passable - THE LIFT SERVICE WAS VERY VERY BAD on the day I checked in...Maintenance staff could easily overcome the lift problem from early morning rather than doing work/repair at the time guest arrived .

- Sharifah (4/5): A Visit Not Worth Repeating - The Mangrove Cafe serves good food. Delicious & tasty. I stayed at the hotel long time ago, when it was called Paradise Sandy Bay, I did really enjoy myself here before.
When I returned to this place as Rainbow Paradise, I ws so disappointed. I donโt think it is fit to be called a hotel.
I wouldnโt recommend this hotel to any of my friends or family members.
If you book direct through the hotel, the rate is quite high compared to the facilities there.
It is a rundown hotel and the management should do something about it if you want to see better future of the staff.
Luckily I stayed here for one night only. I moved to another hotel, with about the same rate but more fit to be called a hotel

Had a great stay at Rainbow Paradise in Penang! The room was clean, spacious, and had a beautiful sea view. The location is perfectโright by the beach, close to local food, and it was easy for me to get to the Kailas Skyrace Penang 2025. Itโs also more affordable compared to other hotels nearby, which made it great value. The host was friendly and responsive, making check-in and check-out super easy. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
