1. Is this Georgetown?
In fact, the part of Penang that Georgetown occupies is entirely the red area in the diagram below. However, Even if the accommodation is not located in Georgetown, the name of the accommodation may include Georgetown, which can confuse foreign travelers.There are a lot.
For example, the accommodation I stayed in: Straits Garden Suite Jelutong GeorgetownBecause the name of the accommodation includes Georgetown, you might mistake it for being located in Georgetown.
Actually, it's a place called Jelutong, about 15 minutes away from the center of Georgetown.
2. Straits Garden Suites Jelutong Georgetown Information
Straits Garden Suites Jelutong, where I stayed for two weeks in Penang, stood out as it was one of the tallest buildings in the area. It looked clean and tidy. Convenience stores, Japanese and Korean restaurants, KFC, and other surrounding infrastructure on the first flooris well equipped.
Perhaps because Penang has a large Chinese Malaysian population, it seems like a lot of Chinese people use it. There were many places with red lanterns hanging outside the front door, a common sight among Chinese people.

A big plus for long-term travelers is the presence of a washing machine.It was because I was traveling the world with my teenage son and needed a place to do laundry.
Besides, there was no reason not to choose a microwave that could compete with Malaysian food, which doesn't have many options to suit one's taste.
3. Amenities and surrounding information
The hotel features an indoor pool, a gym, and a table tennis court, making it a great place to exercise with your son. However, as Malaysia's state religion is Muslim, I saw quite a few people swimming in hijabs.
I recommend avoiding the Korean restaurant on the first floor if possible. The first time I went, I was disappointed with the food, and I found something in my food, so I never went back.
The Japanese restaurant It's a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, but the price per piece of sushi is cheap, so it's a good place to eat something simple, like eating triangle kimbap at a convenience store.(Don't expect the food to taste the same everywhere in Malaysia.)
Honest review of Penang travel Airbnb accommodation
In fact, this The accommodation was very comfortable and nice, and it was fine. Initially, I cited distance as a problem, but Grab taxi fares in Penang are so cheap that it only costs about 3,000 won at most.So, this much can be paid sufficiently.

- Honest review
Our trip to Penang was incredibly enjoyable and fulfilling, except for the unexpected issues we encountered with our accommodations. The beautiful surroundings, the exotic landscapes scattered throughout, and the friendly people made for a truly joyful experience.
However, if I were to travel to Penang again, I'd choose somewhere a little closer to Georgetown. It's a shame to pay for something so bland, so I'd choose accommodations near a shopping mall, where I can always enjoy clean, comfortable food.
