  • Hotel room prices vary depending on many factors but you’ll most likely find the best hotel deals in Penang if you stay on a Saturday. The opposite is true for, Tuesday, which is usually the most expensive day.
  • Book at least 21 days before your stay begins to get the best price for your Penang accommodation.
  • How long should you stay? KAYAK users usually book their accommodation in Penang for 3 days.
  • To do some hiking and exploring during your trip to Penang, select a hotel near to Penang National Park. This large green space is located on the coast and contains many trails as well as a natural butterfly farm. The nearby Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa offers an airport shuttle and has rooms with private gardens.
  • Planning on visiting several attractions and monuments during your visit? Look for hotels in Penang that are in George Town, a city home to both the Blue Mansion and the Pinang Peranakan Mansion. The Cititel Penang is a chic and modern choice that includes both breakfast and parking and has an on-site restaurant and bar.
  • For those who will be travelling with children, consider staying in a hotel near Top Penang, a theme park that contains a variety of attractions as well as a scenic viewing area.
