Hi ppl,

Which Penang hotel do you guys recommend?

My budget id below RM200 per nite and most importantly clean

Which part?

Island, any part will do.

G Hotel ! A stylish hotel with a massive feel of post-modernism and is connected to Gurney Plaza and best, Gurney Drive is just a stone's throw away. I traveled on a corporate rate so I had the luxury of getting a deluxe seafacing room at only RM200++ ! Highly recommended.

If you have Citibank credit card, they have promotion right now at Northam Suite for RM165++ for the Junior Suite. Normal price is about RM600++ per night. The suite comes with living room, study area and even has a Jacuzzi. Was just there during the weekend. Highly recommended

Just returned from my stay at Hotel Malaysia, it's only RM138 nett and I love every bit of my stay over there. It's situated near all the clubs, so if you are a person into nightlife, you won't regret to put up a night over there

How to get corporate rate? The rates that I found online are all RM300++

Citibank card promotion? Wow RM165 for a RM600 suite unbelieable. Any site i can refer to or wat are the terms and condition?

Hows the hotel condition?

Just refer to the promotion booklet that they send to you from last month's statement.

Northam hotel is highly recommended. I always stay there whenever i travel to penang. The rooms are large and clean. Even a jacuzzi in their Bathroom.

Really? Coz i'm not citibank user but my dad is. So can I pay through his card?

Junior suite or the deluxe suite has jacuzzi? Coz im planning for the junior suite, if no jacuzzi I better take G Hotel.

Above average I should say and it's absolutely clean, anything you looking in preference? Here is the hotel website : http://www.hotelmalaysia.com.my/

Will be visiting soon....but wanna know where got nice place to go...the local's that go there...dont wanna go to "tourist Trap" where everything doesnt taste good and charges high price.........

Also nice recommended place to eat, place to hang out, shopping malls and stuffs?? (ps. visit zoo all those? can forget it)

i was there last weekend... i was staying at evergreen... but i recommend G hotel... much better

gurney drive has a lot of food... during the day the beach ok lar... very hot

but at night very nice 2 pak toh... very windy as well... but rained the last couple of days... zzzz....

gurney drive also has gurney plaza... but caters 2 the rich... hehehe... did some shopping and realise KL cheaper by a bit... but environment very nice...

there's a place with a lot of lights... near mcDs... there got seafood...

oh how many shopping mall are there in penanG? i think only queensbay mall rite?

Queensbay Mall
Prangin Mall
Bukit Jambul Complex
Midlands 1-Stop

Don't waste your time at 1-stop... few years ago was there, getting lesser and lesser shops. worse, nothing really to shop there. Gunery Plaza, just behind Berjaya Georgetown hotel, ~10 min walk. in fact, you can go to Gunery Drive for makan from here, Its just nearby. Don't mind, when there, see whether Time Square is ready. I understand Berjaya is building another Time Square in Penang.

Kek Lok Si
Burma Temple
Botanic Garden
Penang Hill
Batu Feringgi

if for me i will choose Berjaya Georgetown Hotel coz its very near to the shopping centre and the room is great.accuatly i don't know much about penang hotel but i think there is someone that can help u.they are a online travel agent.u can even log on to www.cuti.com.my.hope that this can help u and give u more details

Hotel u can choose Evergreen Hotel at Gurney ...nice hotel 5 star de....walk to gurney plaza also can...at night walk to gurney hawker center eat rojak and asam laksa and etc......want eat seafood can go Bali-hai

ya ya... queensbay mall... look like midvalley... big but like deserted 1 ?

i didnt go there... i only went to gurney plaza

no ler.. i went there stayed at their penthouse... doesnt look very nice... their 5 star not really worth it... the free breakfast a lot of variety ler... but the cold meat is not fresh... zzzz

i recommend 'G' hotel... not so many *** i didnt check how many stars they have but sure looks very much nicer... and best of all it is stuck next to gurney plaze... so if rain you wont get wet walking so far around... the beach smells awful but the wind damn nice... like hurricane during the evening
