Hutton Lodge Penang

The Hutton Lodge Penang is very central located just off Penang Road (Hutton Lane) in Georgetown. It is located in a beautifully restored colonial building.

I've stayed here once, clean rooms, very clean bathrooms (steaming hot water), a strict no shoes policy in the rooms and a very quiet place. Not the cheapest, but certainly a good one.

Breakfast is basic, foreigner will like it, but there's a lot better breakfast available.

Tanjung Bungah

Baan Talay Homestay

The Baan Talay is a friendly hostel in Penang located in Tanjung Toking (in between Batu Ferringhi and Georgetown. The Baan Talay gets thumbs up from many travelers for cleanliness and friendly atmosphere.

The location might turn some people off as you need to take the bus to reach Batu Ferringhi and Georgetown. But that said... here's what one traveler says:

"The breakfast was very delicious and the atmosphere in the garden very quiet and lovely- a nice hideaway in Penang.

The beach. a bus station and a great food court are close by, which make the Baan Talay a good location to stay at."

Tanjung Bungah Beach Hotel

Although the Tanjung Bungah Beach Hotel is not the cheapest option in Tangjung Bungah, I feel I have to mention it as it is a really good alternative for either George Town or Batu Ferringhi hotels, away from the crowds and within reach of the tourist attractions.

The hotel gets praise from many travelers: "The hotel was very comfortable, quiet and the larger rooms were perfect"
