Hostels in PenangMost cyclists do not spend a lot of money on hotels hence our hostels in Penang page is perfect for them. I recommend the following hostels based on quality of location, hospitality and cleanliness but should you want mid or upmarket hotels, click here. Cyclists have to remember, Batu Ferringhi is about 10 km from the jetty, Tanjung Bungah about halfway, see my map of Penang to get the idea.

Nearby you find a food court but other attractions are a bit further. The atmosphere in the quest house makes it up and I would recommend the Baan Talay. If you don't want to stay in either the busy George Town city center or Batu Ferringhi, this is your best option.

Annie's Homestay is the one I would recommend as the best
place to stay in Batu Ferringhi. It's within walking distance from everything you need (ie. bus
terminal, banks, post office, money changers, restaurants and shopping
center.
Ali's Ferringhi Guest House is a family-run guest house is a
traditional Malay home which was built in 1965. In 1975 it was converted to
a guest house.
It will be
hard to find a guesthouse or hostel in Penang closer to the beach then
the Boomerang Lodge.
The
Ferringhi Inn & Cafe located in the heart of Batu Ferringhi with
bus, bank, restaurants and of course the beach all within
minutes walk. It's a good option.
I would recommend the
Hutton Lodge Penang which is very central located just off Penang Road
(Hutton Lane) in Georgetown. It is located in a beautifully restored
colonial building. 
The
central located Mingood Hotel is another very good option in Penang.
The jetty, Armenian Quarter (UNESCO heritage area of Georgetown),
restaurants, food courts etc are all within walking distance.
The
YMCA Penang International Hostel has 70 fully furnished air-con room.
It is located in Georgetown with tourist spots, government office, shopping
district & hospitals all nearby.
The
Baan Talay is a friendly
hostel in Penang located in Tanjung Tokung (in between Batu Ferringhi and
Georgetown. The Baan Talay gets thumbs up from many travelers for
cleanliness and friendly atmosphere. The staff is very helpful.
