Ai yo! you r going on the most jam pack day.All stalls are already open during the 3rd day. Price will be up to from 30 - 50 cents. Everywhere is crowded.

Taxi is very expensive in Pg. But I guess u go to get a coupon may be at the airport. It wil probably cost around RM50. Sunno not very sure abt this. Best to have yr own car to go around Pg

just back from my holiday at penang...i've been to 3 hotel below

1. YMCA - jln. macalister....booked online from cari.com.my this is very clean & cheap hostel, only rm75/night, but location not strategic...there is no food stall within walking distance, and find public transport also difficult.

2. Mingood Hotel - jln. argyl....booked online from airasia go holiday with price rm78/night...but when u walk-in they will charge u rm120/night rclxub.gif . this hotel not recommended at all, furniture looks very old, bath room smelly, towel looks old & dirty, location ok lah near penang road, but at night jln.argyl very dark and scary.

3. Continental Hotel - penang road, RM108/night for king size bed + breakfast
highly recommended for this hotel, its cheap, very strategic location, room are clean & service is good thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

tune hotel located at jalan argyl, nearby penang road....the most strategic location for accomodation is penang road...that place never sleep day & night...all buses pass that road...easy to go around by bus (cheapest way if dont hv transport)
10 minutes walking distance to go komtar...from komtar u can take rapid bus to go all over the place in penang
u can take city transfer bus FOC thumbup.gif
