This place very packed especially on weekend/lunch. Usually no reservation means no place to sit and have to wait very long!

I come across with grand continental, continental, summit and berjaya which hotel do u recommend?
I don't found any salsa restaurant at grand continental but continental do have salsa restaurant. is tat any mistake on it? it is quite confusing both have almost same name..

I'm also confused, is there a Summit or Berjaya Hotel along Penang Road?

hi,may i know hotel royal
is it situated at city and nearby those history places?
how much to rent a car

i went early but yeah a lot ppl one!

uh i forgot liao is grand conti or just conti but for sure is Penang Road, opposite the Cititel and famous sup torpedo stall

summit is off macallister,
penang road i think the main one is cititel/grand/conti

i stay hotel royal often, is right next to the Giant along Burmah Road, cheap also Rm150++ deluxe room w/2 b'fast
i can say its fairly ok u can walk 5 mins to New World Park

ok..so either grand conti or conti i stay i also can go to the salsa restaurant?
any bad comment on the grand conti?
wat would u suggest either grand conti or conti or summit?
thanks...

hi to those penang experts,

yes, use jelutong expressway better

drive straight all the end, until u pass by itu esplanate (forget how to spell liao la, dont care la, itu sea sea la), then er....too long to explain.....

but anyway, use jelutong expressway better

Jelutong Xpressway is shorter but if you are unfamiliar with the one way small and congested roads, better use the Greenlane aka Jln mesjid negeri-Scotland Rd-Jln Utama-Jln Gottlieb route.
Once on the Greenlane, you only go straight following the road, go straight thru all traffic light except when to come to the junction of Jln Utama- Jln Gottlieb.This one you turn right and proceed straight till you see Sunrise tower which have Pizza/McD restaurant.
See google map.

Hi guys, I am going to visit Penang end of this month. Just wanna know how is Northam Hotel currently? Is it run down?

I am looking at G Hotel and Northam Hotel, which will be more recommended? This will help me decide which hotel to book.

Budget depends on recommendations.

You still end at the regular toll - Juru Toll Plaza.
Instead of following the sign for Pg Bridge you just follow the signs to Butterworth - Exit left at Megamall on to Jalan Besar, straight to the new Highway, Lingkaran Luar Butterworth. Better you Google for the map. The directional signs are VERY BAD!

any nice place to eat dim sum at night?
