I'm back from a 4 days 3 nights trip from Penang. I was truly satisfied with the accommodation in Armenian Street Heritage Hotel @ Lebuh Carnarvon. It's good there are no breakfast spread included with the room booking as there are lots of good breakfast spot to start the day situated near the hotel.

If you are using public transport like Penang Hop On Hop Off, the bus station is just across the street.

There's a 24 hour convenience store located at the hotel lobby. Fame Kimberly Street Night Market is just few walks away!
Peach Yogurt (bought from convenience store) & Fame Kimberly Street Chicken Feet for my supper at hotel room!
Penang Street Art and Murals by Ernest Zacharevic is located at the street behind the hotel!
Few famous place and breakfast/eatery spot such as Tiger Char Kueh Tiao @ Ping Hooi Coffee Shop, Pitt Street Kng Thng, Ming Xiang Tai Pastry Shop, Tek Sen Restaurant, Aik Hoe Restaurant, De Tai Tong Dim Sum, Toh Soon Cafe, Upside Down Museum and Hon Kei Food Corner are just nearby and within walking distance.
I booked the room on January, which is 4 months before the actual trip via the hotel website. They will direct you to Tune Hotel for further booking. I paid RM580 for 3 nights stay for family room (2 queen beds for 4 pax). Price breakdown: RM194/room per night, RM65/pax per night (due to we were only 3 pax staying in).
You can also refill your water supply from cold & hot water dispenser located at lobby apart from the complimentary bottled mineral water provided.
Shower gel, toothbrush, razor, shower cap, sewing kits and hair dryer are provided.
Cute sewing kits
Free wifi with password is also provided upon check in. The signal may not as strong as the one we used at home, considering amount of guests using the wifi facilities. Fridge is not available at all rooms, but you can contact hotel receptionist if you like to keep your things. We also extended our check out times for 11am to 12noon without incur any additional charges. There are also taxi booking counter located at the hotel lobby with RM45 per trip (small car 3-4 pax) to Penang International Airport.

Highly recommended affordable hotel to stay in Penang! (try to book early to prevent price increment & unavailability)
