From
PortugalExtremely friendly staff (can't stress this enough, they're really great!) and amazing location! Can't wait to get back asap!
Bear in mind the location is excellent, so close to the jetties and Armenian St which also means, on occasional nights, there will be noise late into the night. Still I'd choose this place again in a heartbeat! The noise is manageable and the people, room and location make up for it 100 fold!!

FAQs about hotels in Penang
A Palm-Lined Pearl
An island and part of the mainland make up the small Malaysian region of Penang, also known as the ‘pearl of the Orient’. It has long been coveted and the capital Georgetown has many elegant Colonial buildings. The observation deck of the KOMTAR tower – the tallest building – offers spectacular views of the town and surrounding mountains.
A funicular railway goes up to Penang Hill deep in the forest. Nearby Air Itam has one of Asia’s largest Buddhist temples - Kek Lok Si – lit by hundreds of lights at night. Another fantastic temple is Taoist Kong Hock Keong in Georgetown.
Penang Airport is near southern Bayan Lepas, and across the Malacca Strait is Pulau Jerejak, a peaceful island where trees merge into ocean.
In the much livelier north, Batu Feringghi is the largest resort, with lots of Penang hotels on the beach, plenty of bars and a night market. East, green mountains slope down to blue waters at Tanjung Bungah, where several high-rise hotels overlook the palm-lined beach towards the Floating Mosque just offshore.
On the mainland Butterworth is the departure point for ferries to Penang island, and has a bird park housing a large number of Malaysian species. Wherever you decide to stay, Booking.com has a fantastic range of Penang hotels and apartments to choose from.

Nice hotel with a very nice beach front. Room was clean and comfortable with balcony and sea view. The breakfast was a bit overpriced for Malaysian prices, but the resort is focusing on western clientele (Australia?) and thus the prices are a bit higher. There is a nice restaurant right on the beach offering good food and drinks. Local food is available right in front of the hotel. There is a bus stop very near the hotel. It takes about 1 hr to get to Georgetown and about 10 minutes to the National Park. Busses go every15-20 minutes, but sometimes irregularly and waiting time is 30 minutes. Overall a very nice place to stay on Penang island.

I could feel the great nature of Penang in Malihom. Though the location is quite hard to get but when I finally get to Malihom I was totally satisfied with the whole things of Malihom. Facilities, view, and kind managers, private and peaceful atmosphere, nice food… Everything was far better than I expected. I would definitely like to recommend this place to someone who need to be cured from stressful mind.

Old Town was swarming with international tourists, many pushy, aggressive on narrow busy streets. Old buildings not as impressive as I expected. Clan wharf-souvenir alley. Indian food street carts a highlight. Grabs(Ubers) easy to grab. It’s a phone world now, sometimes needing to order in a restaurant after scanning a QR. You will need a SIM card. Botanical Garden special houses all locked up. A bit run down but a lovely place to walk about and get some fresh air away from the crazy, manic, dangerous if you are walking city traffic. I would not return.

Loved the pool table at the lobby lounge!
Loved the pool table at the lobby lounge! (Needed to pay for it though). The mocktails were not really good, besides the parkroyal punch. Clean pool with cool slides. Very big and spacious beds which can probably fit 4-5 people! Nothing wrong with the hotel besides the mocktails, maybe. The beach was a little disappointing (polluted). We could see black oil bottles flowing in the water with their lids off, which wasn't very pleasant. But the water sports were fun.

I stayed one night in Bukit Mertajam and overall, it was a decent short stop. The town has a quiet, local charm and isn’t too busy, which made it quite relaxing. There’s not a whole lot to do, but it’s a good place if you just want to unwind or try some local food—there are definitely some hidden gems when it comes to hawker stalls and small eateries.
That said, it’s not really a tourist-heavy spot, so don’t expect major attractions or much nightlife. It’s more of a laid-back, pass-through kind of town. For one night, it was okay and served its purpose as a quick rest point.

Nice place and convenient to travel around. Closer to town, jetty so easy to get to other areas. I think it's best to stay here. You can try Nasi Kandar, Cendol and char koay teow near Chowrasta Bazaar. Vist the Upside Down museum. Can drive to Genting food court in Island Glades. From there driving to Penang Hill, jetty, Padang Kota , Kek Lok Si temple, big Thaneer malai temple and Pulau Tikus is easy..

I like it because it is away from the traffic of Georgetown on the one side and from touristic Batu Ferringhi on the other. A handful of decent restaurants supplement the many informal local huts, giving all levels of cost and quality for variable dining. All the local folk are courteous and kindly, though English is universally poor to incomprehensible. Excellent modern buses connect with Georgetown etc. on a frequent, low-cost service. Car hire is not expensive and a liberating device for island discovery. Pop-up Fruit stalls abound for an exotic breakfast in your hotel room or on the beach. Meridien Hotel has the cleanest beach!

recently stayed at this Airbnb, and unfortunately, the experience was not great. The house is located very close to a mosque, and the loud prayers start at 6 AM daily, which is disruptive if you’re planning to sleep in.
The house is also much smaller than expected for a double-storey unit. The living room is cramped and not ideal for hosting friends. All the rooms are small, and the kitchen is equally compact, so don’t expect much space here.
A major inconvenience is the smart key system, which turns off the electricity when you leave the house. This means you can’t leave any devices charging or keep the air conditioning running while you’re out for lunch or dinner. Plus, there’s no air conditioning in the living room, which makes the space uncomfortable during hot days.
Communication was another issue. The owner does not understand English and only speaks Malay, which made communication uncomfortable for me. On top of that, there is a CCTV camera outside the car porch, and the owner won’t allow you to turn off the modem, so it feels like you’re being constantly monitored. I found this quite unsettling.
Lastly, the water pressure in the toilet is low, which was an additional disappointment.
Overall, this stay was not as expected, and there are better options available for the price.
