HOTELS IN PULAU PINANG
There are plenty of old buildings in Penang, giving you a feeling of 'nostalgic'. Hence some of the hotels there may look really old but you can still find great atmosphere when you adapt to the lifestyle in no time. There's also better accommodation in the business centre. If you are on a backpack and needs budget hotel, look for them in Lebuh Leith and Lebuh Chulia. Guide to Penang Hotels |
