try google for the wikimapia. I don't have exact addresses

Line Clear is at the junction of Chulia Street and Penang Road (if i remembered correctly), opposite the old cinema

Kapitan Keling is easy to find, just find where is kapitan keling mosque. the nasi kandar is next to it. this is a famous landmark, you should be able to find it.

For shariff, it's a bit tricky. it's at Gelugor.. in front of the 7 eleven near the post office.

i went to line clear once. the food is ok but that place is dirty. as long as u dun mind the hygienic factor, it should b ok.

anyone of you who wnet to the Toy Museum before? i like that museum. lots of toys!!!

Dear all, I plan to visit Penang for 3d2n w gf and been confused about choosing which hotel to stay.
Any suggestion? G-Hotel or Evergreen Laurel?

G-Hotel :
I stay there before and found it’s quite new and comfortable. Most importantly, it’s very near to shopping complex and food court. But the parking spaces are very limited which is very inconvenient.

Evergreen Laurel :
Never stay there. But heard some good reviews about it.

Thanks in advance.

both are at the Gurney Drive which mean both are very near to Gurney Shopping Mall. but G Hotel is the nearest (just a stone or two throw onli )

never stay to any of those due to me very poor people.

both are good. just flip a coin for u to make a choice.

or evergreen la. since u stayed edi at G.

i've stayed in G hotel before and i found that G hotel is very comfortable and clean.

last few months, i went to penang for holiday and i stayed in paradise sandy beach resort. i found that this hotel is much better but it is located around batu feringgi area and is a bit far from town.

there are many sport activities in paradise sandy beach resort. the breakfast also not bad, if i am not mistaken it is deli france one.so i think it worths the money.

you can try check it out and see..

I stayed at G hotel over the recent Raya week. I'm surprised you said parking is limited, even during Raya I had no trouble getting parking. The hotel was fully booked at the time too.

I've stayed at Paradise Sandy Bay too, the beach is ok but the hotel itself is just meh.

G Hotel

I stay at Gurney Hotel, quite far away from Gurney Plaza although it's just down along the road. I think the price there is cheaper. Rooms have broadband internet access. Breakfast is great. RM 240++

I've tried Evergreen Hotel. The only thing to shout about is their free internet access. Other than that, it is alright.

I've stayed b4 in both G-Hotel and Evergreen.

GHotel
Pros:
Room is spacious. Designed Zen style which is minimalist. Nice pool. Good service and tasty buffet breakfast. Chili's room service! Have ribs at the comfort in your own room.

Cons:
Car park limited. Buffet breakfast choices not as much as Evergreen. If there is event in front of Gurney Plaza, could be quite noisy if u get lower floors.

Evergreen laurel
Pros:
More carparks than G-Hotel, Vast choice but average tasting buffet breakfast, more facilities like salon, kids room, health club and etc. Service is similar to G-Hotel good, friendly and efficient.

Cons:
Rooms a bit dated since its older. My recent stay was in one of the refurb rooms which has LCD tvs and newer furnitures and carpet. Have to walk more than 10 minutes to Gurney plaza.

Me also not rich ppl le, else I will choose Eastern And Oriental Hotel or Shangri-Las Rasa Sayang Resort .

ive stayed in both G hotel and Evergreen. both are comfortable.

BUT i think im the unlucky ones. i stayed for 2 nights in G hotel last december. I got locked up in the toilet....lol wtf right? its because the door knob of the toilet itself is spoiled, or jammed. My dad had to called the receptionist and the technician of 4 came by and drill through the door. haahahaa......we request for a room change and they gladly gave us a new room.

overall, its a nice place to stay apart from that unlucky incident..

my opinion i think Gurney is much more worth it if u are choose G hotel.
if u're saying abt the distance to mall etc,
i think its not really a trouble to walk along gurney drive

good luck!

i think G Hotel will be the one but i'd prefer to stay at batu ferringhi coz much nicer seaview!
bayview resort is a good choice

how about the northam hotel.

my fren said not bad

my recommendation is to go for G Hotel if you want the best hotel. But no harm trying Evergreen Laurel.

Compare the price between this two hotel. If not much different then take G Hotel...

yeah.....saw the pics.....and wow.....its a great hotel......got infiniti pool also....

neva stayed there before.....but the suites look excellent....with jacuzzi in every room..

rates also not bad....220 nett with breakfast

i love evergreen
theres internet connection there for free not wifi somemore use cable

I was at Northam as well. It's a much older hotel, some of the wooden panelling in the rooms were coming off. It's also pretty far off Gurney Drive so it's very quiet, you can't exactly walk to the hot spots on Gurney Drive.

The jacuzzi in each room is nice though but that's about it.

Northam is furthest from the Gurney's hot area (eg, near Gurney Plaza)

I stayed at The Gurney the most. Rates are good and i love the facilities (archery, swimming, gym.......). I haven't stayed in Evergreen Laurel and G-Hotel so can't compare them.
