Can recommend what are the 'Must Eat' in Penang?

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1550843

price will be different also?

Haha yeah will be slightly different right? Btw, if you need good rates for Holiday Inn, try this IHG Friend and Family Rates


** I managed to grab Intercontinental Club Room Bali at USD 232 using Friends and Family rates. Do reply here if you managed to grab good rates compared to other sites too.

Does anyone know/tried Grand hotels international?

I tried to do booking ahead for 11-13 Feb 2011 but there's no room rates offer in their website since months ago.

So i called up today to ask for the room rate. The staff there pass to each other for 3 times already and yet i don't get my answers. Next , they asked me to check their website for the room rates. So i shoot them asking why not you yourself check your website and tell me the room rates? How your customer suppose to do room booking ahead when there are no room rates offer at all?

After i said so, that fella said they don't know and just simply said call back after 2pm. Now internet down.

Would it be overkill if one to go to Penang for holidays for 4D3N instead of 3D2N?

I would say not. Usually I will go Penang if I can get 4d3n or 5d4n at Bt Feringghi.

I'm looking for a place, hope someone can tell me the actual location on the map.
(CHURCH OF THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS) Main Road Balik Pulau 11000 Penang
I try to google it, but no result.

The church of Jesus just at the foot of Kek Lok Si Temple & beside Air Hitam Police station here:

In malfreemaps look for "Church of Jesus"

Are you sure about the location? The address is in Balik Pulau. I actually found the address in:
http://www.penangdiocese.org/pages/parish-...esus-penang.php

Hi guys, im gonna need recommendations on hotels with beach access, and after reading this thread i have narrowed down to 2 choices: Bayview vs Holiday Inn, which one is better?

That road leading to Ayer Hitam Dam is called Jalan Balik Pulau and there is two Jalan Balik Pulau in Penang. The one along Kek Lok Si & the onbe at Balik Pulau town. So far I can't find any such church in Balik Pulau except Sacred Heart church.

And the only Church wth almost similar name & road is the one I posted.

For the location u give me, I checked in Google Map. The church beside Air Itam Police Station called True Jesus Church.
And, from the website: http://www.penang-traveltips.com/churches.htm showed that True Jesus Church and Church of the Holy Name of Jesus are different.


I found it. http://wikimapia.org/881915/Church-Of-The-...sus-Balik-Pulau
Thanks.

Holiday Inn better in everything except their pool.

Noted. Shall revise my plan again. Hehe.

how much will it cost to travel from tunehotel to the airport by taxi?

any hotels with own beach around rm200 per nite, and also pet friendly?

Anyone can recommend any long term parking place in Penang? or the daily parking rate at Penang Airport?

Intend to park there for few days.

Expect RM50 and above. I was told that taxis charge RM50 from airport to another hotel nearby Tunehotel.


Hotels with own beach are abundant in Batu Feringghi area. Bayview beach resort, park royal, holiday inn, golden sands, rasa sayang, hard rock hotel. These are 4 stars to 5 stars hotels.

For cheaper ones but I'm not sure whether they have their own beach, but AFAIK, no one really cares which beach their guests go to. Cheaper hotels, are Hydro hotel, Sri sayang apartments. Pet friendliness - not too sure.

if booking online, go to agoda.com cheapest rate from what i know.
