Chicobruh Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I like to do a visa run to Penang, can anyone recommend a good hotel in Penang to spend 3 or 4 days ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiflyer1 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Stayed at this place before, no complaints...........round about 1000 baht night inc. breakfast. There are a couple of bars within 100m that are worth a look in for a quiet drink on the night. {Hotel Continental; URL snipped} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vickersvc10 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I usually stay at the Continental. It has (for me) the huge advantage of a swimming pool. They also have a resident fixer (Patrick) who will handle your visa application efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weho Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I stayed at the Evergreen Hotel, which I think is more like a 4 star, but reasonably priced... it had a nice room and nice buffet breakfast... they have free wireless internet in the room, if you bring your own computer. It's a slightly odd location, a bit far to walk to anywhere, yet central to both downtown, beaches, etc. They have a nice indoor gym, where there are lots of naked Chinese guys walking around, who like to show off how "big" they are. The outdoor pool was quite big and nice. I took the train/funicular that goes up to the top of some mountain, which was kind of nice, but you have to make sure you don't let anyone cut in front of you. I got a free lapel pin from some broad at the airport, from the Tourist Department, who I answered a few questions for. An hour later, the pin broke. Those are my impressions of Penang.
