Tune Hotel Penang (GPS: 5.419670, 100.327132) is a 3-star hotel located along Burmah Road in George Town. Opened after a RM30 million refurbishing of the existing building, it is the 5th Tune Hotel.com to be opened. With 258 rooms, it is also the largest in the country.
The hotel follows its affiliate, AirAsia, in pricing its hotel rooms based on demand. In other words, rooms booked earlier are often priced at a bargain-basement rate, and as the date moves nearer, the price increases for the balance rooms. Smart travellers who book early can enjoy stays for as low as RM9.99 per night. Guests may pay by credit card, Maybank2u.com or cash. The hotel accepts bookings online, through its call centres and through walk-in.
Tune Hotels.com offer budget no-frills accommodation. Even air-conditioning is regarded as a priced add-on, which guests may opt for by paying for it. Other additionals include WIFI, towel rental, toiletries and travel insurance.
Guests staying at Tune Hotels.com requiring airport transfers is served by Captrans, the airport transfer provider. The fare for a one-way trip to the Penang International Airport is estimated at RM18 one way. Captrans also offer van charter as well as city tour and beach tour.

Getting there
Tune Hotels.com is located along Jalan Burma (Burmah Road) in George Town. If you are coming by public transport from the Komtar Bus Terminal, you may take Rapid Penang Bus 10, 101, 103 and 104. The hotel is an unmistakable landmark with its white-and-red livery which you should be able to see from a distance. If you arrive at the Penang International Airport, I would suggest you take Bus 401 to Komtar Bus Terminal and change buses there.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
