Clean room, well-appointed with good room service every day. Hotel location is walkable to historic centre but aside a busy road which can be hard to cross at times. Pool area leaves a lot to be desired, very basic with worn out chairs. Good breakfast options.

Checked in was very smooth, "Yaya" from the checked in counter was very helpful and she even call the room to check is everything ok. Breakfast spread was superb. The only setback was the pillow for my 4 nights stay, to soft, maybe hotel can invest for a better pillow, a bit firm should be nice.

Can I cancel my flight booking to Penang Island due to COVID-19?

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Penang Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19, you'll no doubt notice a few more rules and regulations in place. Follow these tips and make your trip to Penang Island go off without a hitch:
  • Before booking your flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
  • When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
  • To avoid cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
  • To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
  • Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
