One of the best price to quality Hotel I've stayed at. My two travelling companion and I stayed at room with beach view (no balcony). If the weather was not cloudy during our stay, it would be the perfect spot to view the beautiful sunrise this area is famous for.
Service is top notch. We came via train and the hotel offers complimentary pick up from airport and train station (must book ahead of time). The driver and hotel staff were very helpful in explaining where we can go for sightseeing and meals. The front desk is available 24/7 and no curfew as far as I was aware. We came back pretty late at night and had no issue coming in.
Make sure to use the free bicycle rental the hotel provides to see the ocean front. However, guests are asked to not ride the bikes on the city roads and rental is not available during rainy and windy weather conditions. Bikes must be returned before dark.
The complimentary breakfast is amazing and has slightly different dishes every day. There is a 24 hour self serve coffee bar with snacks, board games, books, and magazines. Bottled water provided free of charge in room and can also refill your water bottle at the drinking water stations in coffee bar and dining hall.
Room is standards size for Asia, might feel slightly small for foreigners. If you want large room for kids to run around, better to rent one of the bnb's in the area. Room is updated with ample outlets and nice bathroom amenities. The hair dryer is strong and efficient, unlike other hotels. The climate control includes dehumidifier, AC, and heating! The hotel staff even offered us extra duvets and fleece blankets during our stay because of the cold snap.
There is also ample parking specifically reserved for the Bayview Hotel guests - remember to register license plate at front desk.
P.S. There are a lot of street cats visit the hotel front entrance (they don't enter the actual building). Extra perks for cat lovers😻
