Actually there are a lot of hotel in Transfer Road that are cheaper than Tune Hotel. In fact Traverse Inn in Campbell St. is even more suitable and cheaper too if you just need a room to sleep and rest or take a bath. The location is quite central where there are lots of food to savour. Line Clear nasi kandar is walking distance. Hameedia nasi Briyani is a few doors away. The dim sum along Campbell St, the pork noodle in Cintra St. is also along the road.
A slightly longer walk(maybe half an hour) to Burmah Road will take you to New World(Swatow Lane) to try the famous ice kacang or maybe Lorong Selamat ice kacang with the famous 'lan si' fried kuey teow. Other local food in this outlet is also good like their lobak, prawn mee and even the kuey teow th'ng.
Armenian St. and Carnarvon St. is also all walking distance away. Esplanade and museum is also walking distance away or if you are lazy, trishaws can take you there.
Penang Road is just 50 meters away and there you can walk to the famous Cendol stall and Chowrasta market for native Penang products. Along the way there's shopping. At night you can walk to Leith St. for drinks or Upper Penang Road. The choice is so many as the location is quite central.
A 10 minute bus ride to P.Tikus can take you to Gurney Drive, sleeping Buddha and Burmese temple.
In half a day you can take a bus to Air Itam to visit Kek Lok Si temple and sample the Assam Laksa near the market. In fact you can even spend a day at the beach, just take a bus to Batu Ferrigghi. It's only an hour away by bus.
We used to travel to this places by bus. Sometimes it is even more relaxing and enjoyable. You have quite a number of days, enjoy Penang on foot.
Nowadays people likes to rush even when they are visiting places.
MAkes holiday more tiring than a normal working day.

I am just wondering if there are people interested in taking a laid back travelling like I do in the past. I m planning to go Penang and hangout there for 5 days. I want to rely totally on public transport from KL to Penang and also public transports on the island.
I mean this is how backpackers tours the country. They see more than we do. What we are doing is just the opposite! We cram everything into 2 to 3 days, running all over and missing everything! Get stucked in jams and overlooking everything. I was thinking of a group of 15 to 20 pax and most importantly is the company of each other as friends. I am quite familiar witht he public transportation routes there as I have spent my schooldays there and was thinking of doing the island retro style.
