Cuti-cuti Malaysia answers:
Hi There,
I would like to welcome you to the potpourri island of Penang where blending is not just limited
to food. Its a melting pot of architecture, culture, people, services ect. Ect including quality and
rates.
It really depends what you want to see and experience in Penang. For a better and more
accurate answer please provide some rough details like price, interest, quality of hotel, mode of
travel while in Penang, company you are keeping with you while traveling so that the
recommendation can be made.
Penang is really not all that big, circumnavigating the island takes almost 2 hours by car and 10
hours by sail.
Anyhow depending of time of travel, rates will difer by class and location and usually internet
rates are more expensive by those on corporate accounts, and in certain cases better by walk in
promo except on peak period.

2. Internet sites while giving some description of the place, are nothing like the real thing. Get to
know some local “penang” residents and you will find its a whole world of difference.
I know that this may not be adequate answer but to list all is too much info. Too many variables.
I hope your trip here materialises. With more info i can provide better info.
All the best.

Penang,Malaysia?
Would like to know if I can get accommodation on the day of arrival in George
Town,Penang,Malaysia for 80 to 10-0 RM for a double AC room with toilet attached inclusive of
all taxes. Or it is necessary to book in advance My need is 3 double and 1 Triple room for a
group of 9 aged between 38 to 68 Yrs between 20th Feb.2010 and 24th Feb.2010. I have
searched in all the online reservation sites but I am not able to pick the right choice since the
location is not familiar to me. I shall be thankful if some one could suggest such hotels with
addresses and phone numbers and if possible their websites.One may email me, if needed, to

Donald asks…
Anybody been to Penang. I need a mid-range Panang Hotel in
downtown area.?
Im going to Penang and have no idea where to stay but not really the time to read through a
travel guide now. What areas of Penang are the best to stay in? What mid-range Penang
Hotels are the best?
Cuti-cuti Malaysia answers:
If you are an adventurous traveler (back packing), you can find a really cheap hotel at Chulia
Street and it’s surrounding area (within 500m radius). Plenty of old-town style hotels ranging
from 50 ringgit (15 US$) to 80 ringgit (20 US$). These are not fancy hotels with good
housekeeping service and room service. However, food, coffee and beer are always readily
available downstairs as these hotels usually have a bar or local coffee shop on the ground floor.

4. Stepping one notch up, there are mid range hotels like Embassy Hotel etc at the end of Penang
Road, where Cititel is. Price ranges from 100ringgit to 200 ringgit. I would normally rate them
2-star hotels. Decent bedroom and lobby but don’t expect top notch services.
The higher range hotels like Trader’s Hotel (former Shangri-La Hotel), Sheraton Hotel, Cititel
are in the town. Beach Resorts like Golden Sands, Mutiara, Novotel are the more expensive
ones.
Rooms are usually abundant in this island city. I would recommend that you would plan 1 day to
go around the city to find the hotel. Start your exploration from Komtar Bus Station. This way,
you can see city while you hunt for a hotel bargain.
Good Luck!

Hotel,Georgetown?
We’re a group of 5 people and we’d rather not take the local bus service.
