Where To Stay?

Some friends are asking, if I'm not from Penang,

Where do I stay? Which is cheap and big?

Penang Tune Hotel

We suggest Tune Hotel, a budget hotel service! It is located in Burma Road, around 500m from Penang KDU College. You only need to walk for around 5 minutes from Tune Hotel to KDU College. Tune Hotel's limited service concept omits many traditional hospitality services to keep costs and rates as low as possible. Instead, services and extras are offered on a pay-as-you-go basis, including toiletries, 12 or 24 hours air-conditioning, tv and internet access and also single or double occupancy.
