Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Bukit Mertajam
The nearest gateway to Bukit Mertajam is the Penang International Airport (PEN), located just 23 km away. It serves both domestic and international travelers and offers the most efficient transit, with taxis and Grab rides reaching the city center in about 45 minutes. For those on a budget, the Rapid Penang bus network is the most economical choice. Further away, the Sultan Abdul Halim Airport (AOR) in Alor Setar and Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (IPH) in Ipoh provide alternative domestic access, though transit times are significantly longer due to the required road or rail connections to the mainland. Langkawi International Airport (LGK) and Hat Yai International Airport (HDY) are the furthest options, both requiring substantial travel time due to cross-border logistics or ferry crossings. Travelers are highly advised to prioritize PEN for the most direct and cost-effective journey. When arriving at secondary airports, always factor in the additional time for inter-city transfers and potential border documentation if traveling from Hat Yai.

Excellent hotel with a great location. The room is spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with many facilities. I really appreciate the free latte, and the elevators are fast and efficient. Having a kitchen in the room is a big plus and makes the stay even more convenient. The bathroom amenities are also excellent—the shampoo and body wash smell amazing and feel premium quality.
I’ve stayed here many times and have always had a great experience. Definitely one of my favorite hotels, and I will certainly come back again in the future. Highly recommended!FromUS$73

There are two food courts downstairs, but they don't open in the mornings. The guestroom bathrooms aren't separated (wet/dry), and some rooms don't have balconies. The air conditioning gets quite cold, and rooms facing the road can be noisy at night. The hotel breakfast is a set menu; I'd recommend booking without breakfast and taking a taxi to 'Pak Ngah Cheng' for food instead.FromUS$48

I stayed at Mode Inn Icon City for 1 night and had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel's biggest strength is undoubtedly its location. With numerous restaurants, cafés, convenience stores and other amenities within walking distance, everything I needed was easily accessible. The convenience of the location is likely one of the main reasons for its popularity and room rates.
The room was clean and equipped with the essential amenities needed for a comfortable short stay. The bed was comfortable, the air-conditioning worked well, and the overall check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
While the hotel was generally well-maintained, some parts of the property showed signs of age and regular use. This did not affect my comfort during the stay, but guests expecting a newer or more modern hotel should manage their expectations accordingly.
The room size was the main drawback. Even though I booked the largest room category with a window, the room was still quite compact. It was perfectly suitable for a solo traveller staying one or two nights, but couples or guests with multiple pieces of luggage may find the space rather limited.
At approximately RM150 per night without breakfast, the pricing is slightly on the higher side for a 2-star hotel. However, considering the strategic location and overall convenience, I can understand why the hotel remains a popular choice among travellers.FromUS$29

I am writing to report a significant discrepancy regarding my recent booking at Hotel Alpha in Bukit Mertajam.
I booked a room that was explicitly listed as having two small bedrooms (one with two queen beds, and one with two single beds). However, upon arrival, the hotel only provided a single room containing two queen beds.
Arriving tired after a 6hour journey and receiving a room that did not match the reservation was extremely frustrating and unacceptable.
I request that Trip.com demand corrections from Hotel Alpha regarding their room descriptions and listings to prevent this negative experience for future clients.”FromUS$22

Seriously, this place is amazing! This hotel is right in the city center. I booked it for one night for an interview at IPG. Even though it was a 22-minute drive to my destination, the service was incredibly good. I called to ask for an iron and ironing board, and it was delivered almost instantly. Even though the hotel owner is Chinese, the staff are excellent and well-trained. The room was clean, the air conditioning was strong, there was hot water, and safety was ensured with a guard at the lobby at night. The only downside was the broken hairdryer. Please improve that! They even let me upgrade from a triple room to a deluxe room (with 4 beds) on the spot! I got the room access card right away, I didn't think that would be possible. So far, it's been great. There's a Coway water dispenser on every floor, so you don't have to bother going down to the lobby for hot water. It's really convenient, especially if you have a baby and need hot water for formula in the middle of the night. The deluxe room was so spacious, I think it could comfortably fit 5 people. It even had a mini-fridge.FromUS$18

Although the original accommodation could not be received, the landlord quickly arranged other room types for us. My family and I liked the new room type and learned that this is an upgraded room type. The room design is full of childishness and is very suitable for a family with children. There were also some minor problems during the stay, such as the water heater in the shared bathroom was unavailable and the kitchen sink faucet leaked. In addition, there was no major problem overall.FromUS$37

This is a very basic hotel, with minimum facilites. Our room is net to the lift and you can hear the sound of the lift everytime it arrived on the floor. Don't like the room coz the previous customer smoked in the room and left the smell of cigaratte. Moreover the room we booked has no window. Maybe the hotel should consider no smoking in the room. However, love the location as it is convenience to travel around with a lot of shops neearby.FromUS$22
