Tune Hotels - Downtown Penang

100 Burmah Road

Tel: +6(03)-7962 5888

Double room (1 double bed) MYR 20.00 per night

Hotel Mingood (http://hotelmingood.com/) is not bad...

on its website, it shows:

Double Room = 1 Double Bed (Queen Size) 2 Occupants = RM$ 170

but its walk-in rates are different from the rates shown on the website

the walk-in rate for the same Double Room is RM$ 116

still, these two rates are beyond your budget

however, if you place a reservation online through www.booking.com

the lowest rate you can get is MYR90 for a Double Room

the best rate you can get is MYR70 but that's for a Single Room (2 single beds), and that's not what you want

so it is not possible to get a rate anywhere near MYR30 (USD10)... unless Bill Rambo knows a better source to get more discount!

Hutton Lodge (http://www.huttonlodge.com/) seems fine...

Double Room with shared bathroom = MYR65 nett

Double Room with attached bathroom = MYR90 nett

the lowest rate is MYR50 nett (USD16) for a Single Room with shared bathroom

so unless Bill Rambo knows and shares a better source for more discount, that is the cheapest you can get

Oriental Hotel at Penang Street. Only ten minutes walk from Georgetown. Lots of hawkers' stalls and entertainment outlets.

Hotel Mingood is the one you are looking for.Cheap and lodge type. Look up the website or Booking.com.
