[2025 George Town Stay] Travel Guide for Cititel Express Penang (Updated Apr)

On the first day of Penang, I stayed at the local business hotel brand Hittite Express Hotel. The rooms are small, but they are all well-equipped. Even the refrigerator I need most in the south, the bed is a one-meter-high bed, soft and comfortable. The height of the 18th floor is also enough to overlook this small town, directly overlooking the sea in the distance. The hotel is downstairs shopping mall, the corner is 7-11, shopping is very convenient! The Old Town is also within walking distance, not only for business, but also for tourists!

Cititel Express Penang is located in the UNESCO World Heritage area of George Town, offering views of the city and the surrounding sea. Convenient and easy to travel, you can easily call a Grab or walk to catch a bus. Close to shopping malls and street food areas. The rooms are clean, the staff provides excellent service, and there is a water dispenser available. The hotel offers free Wi-Fi and breakfast is served buffet-style.

Fast furious Penang trip which ended with all sort of joy & nice food#penang

📍 Itinerary Overview: SkyBridge + Observation/Window Deck (65 floor) & Rainbow Walk (67 floor). 🚇 Transportation - Take Free Georgetown bus (CAT) to Komtar Station. RECOMMEND: Find and Enter via The Top Main Entrance; and avoid getting confused & lost via Komtar/ICT in-mall routes that goes through side entrances. 📷 Photo Spots - 1-4: The TOPs main/ground lobby, with a bunch of displays and entrances to other activities. 5-6: Main Entrance to Desks, will need to pass security. 7-9: Skybridge walk, will need to sign waiver and get equipment attached/checked. 10-15: Observation Deck/Window ground view, can stay until 900pm, good to wait for both day ns night 16-20: The Rainbow Walk/Cafe deck, nice to have some food/refreshments and enjoy scenic views of Georgetown. 💡 Tips: IMPORTANT: Once you go up to the SkyBridge/Observation deck, you cannot go come back down and re-enter. This is really unfortunate since: 1. Other activities in the TOP area (Aqauirim, Dino Park) that are usually "bundled packages" will need to be visited before or after. 2. SkyBridge's last entry is no later than 600pm, but you will likely need to "hang around" either on the Observation Deck/Rainbow cafe/deck at least until 800pm if you want evening views/light scenery. There are food/drinks/sitting areas/merchandise and free toilet usage though. SO BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE TIME SCHEDULE, PLAN AHEAD, AND GET THERE EARLY (ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK SEASON) #travel #thingstodo
