FAQs when booking a hotel in Penang

  • Where should I plan on staying if I would like to be close to the airport?

    To be just a short drive from Penang International Airport (PEN), plan on staying at a hotel in the southeastern region of the island. The TH Hotel Penang is an affordable option that is just a 4min drive from the airport, while the EST Hotel Penang is a casual choice that is a 5min drive away.

  • Which is the best area to stay in for those travelling on a budget?

    For those who are hoping to travel as affordably as possible, opt to stay at a hotel located in the centre of the island, such as one near the neighbourhood of Kampung Permatang Timbun. Both the Fig Tree Hill Resort and the MaliHom Private Estate are affordable options that are surrounded by lush scenery and located just a 20–25min drive away from George Town.

  • Where should I stay if I would like to be in a scenic area?
