hi ~ i have holiday apartment for rent during this coming raya holiday~~ PM me if interested

Hi guys, I'm going to Penang on the 7th June for a friend's wedding. It's just a short visit, I'll have one day free all to myself (return flight is at midnight).

I'll be staying at TH Hotel Bayan Lepas. Is there any place around there where I can rent a motorcycle? Renting a car would cost more plus I think motorcycle is faster especially if there's jam.

I'm thinking of going to National Park or Taman Orchid. Any insights/other suggestion?

Thank you in advance!

Hello. my german friends are coming over here to visit and they want to go to a beach. since we will be in penang also, i was wondering about the condition of the beach over there. what do you think? rating? Clean? dirty? overcrowded? oil spill lol?

thanks!

Beach is clean but the water is not clear but acceptable. Too many beach activities.. very dangerous to swim when jet skis, speed boats criss crossing each others..

Hi all,

I spend some time reading everyone tips/sharing here especially on the Penang food (must-try) and place to stay. I have decided to stay in Gurney Drive for my family trip (4 person: me, wife, mom and sister) this mid of June. So far, based on my backward reading, seems like G-hotel is mostly recommended, follow by Evergreen, Northam hotel, Cititel hotel and City Bayview. A quick check on G-hotel in Agoda.com seems to be over my budget.

My budget for a 1 night per room (2 person per room) is 250 maximum. Any hotel within Gurney Drive that you guys/gals can recommend? By the way, noob here...I never been there before.

This is just a 3D2N trip.

Cititel and Sunway hotel seems to be within my budget...but, looking at the comments/feedback tend to hold down my decision....still prefer Lowyat kaki that stayed there before or friends/relatives that stay there before for feedback or other hotel recommendation around that area.

Thx in advance!

If hotel room I recomend u goodhope inn.
if u wanna apartment stay u can pm me

Was in sunway hotel georgetown last week. They just refurbished not long ago. Room are new & clean. Booked via agoda 240+ inclusive tax. Plus its near McAllister lane where you can find nice food.

Heys guys. Me and my friends are going to penang next week. Any nice and cheap place to stay at?

Penang island boast itself with a unique cultural heritage and scenery within its own cosmopolitan city. Penang kia, what can you recommend for a day of romantic activities with your partner? Spa? Cafe? Dining at the Penang Hill? etc? Please suggest. Kam sia.

Any taxi driver to recommend? My friend and I (just two of us) would be taking the bus up to Penang and arriving in Komtar. We were thinking to go makan makan first before checking into the hotel. We didnt drive because the next day we will be boarding the cruise.

I am visiting Penang in October for a few days.

I am familiar with the island, been there many times. However, I wouldn't where to start looking for nice coffee places in Georgetown or at other areas on the island. Can you guys/gals recommend me a few places with great coffee and a good vibe?

Penang not famous for coffee... more for street food.
Are you are looking for cakes, bread, pastries, tea and coffee?

What do you meant by good vibe?

Ha . Not being famous for something should perhaps not mean there isn't any place with good coffee. I wouldn't say KL is famous for its coffee, but there certainly are quite a few very nice coffee places with an amazing atmosphere (vibe).

I was hoping to find a few of these places. Perhaps a more general description is better:

I am looking for a place where they serve great coffee, made from freshly burnt beans. I would be nice if it is also a great place to enjoy a western lunch.

Been to Penang many times. Am familiar with local Penang food, but was looking for other places as well. Surely they do exist ?
