Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Southwest Penang Island
For the majority of travelers, Penang International Airport (PEN) is the optimal choice. Located on the island itself in the suburb of Bayan Lepas, it provides the most direct and efficient access to local attractions and the city center. It handles both domestic and international traffic, serving as the primary hub for the region. All other airports in this list are located in neighboring cities and should be considered only if you are planning a multi-stop itinerary or find significantly cheaper fares. Sultan Abdul Halim Airport (AOR), Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (IPH), Langkawi International Airport (LGK), and Hat Yai International Airport (HDY) are outside of Penang Island and require substantial additional travel time by road, rail, or sea. If you choose to fly into these airports, be prepared to factor in the extra hours and costs associated with cross-state or cross-border transport. For speed, the train from Ipoh is a strong runner-up, but nothing beats the convenience of arriving directly at PEN.

Our overall experience during this stay was extremely satisfying. The hotel boasts a beautiful environment, facing the sea with stunning views, especially the infinity pool and ocean scenery which are perfect for photos. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the bed was very good, allowing us to truly relax.
The hotel is ideal for families with children; our little one had a great time. The pool and beach are both very convenient, and you could easily spend the whole day there without getting bored. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and both check-in and check-out were smooth. The breakfast offered a wide variety of choices and tasted good.
If you're looking for a relaxing getaway, this is an excellent choice. My only small suggestion is that the pool can get quite crowded during peak season, so I hope they can add more loungers in the future. Overall, I would recommend it to friends and would stay here again.FromUS$125

Wonderful stay. The apartment was very well equipped. Lots of cleaning supplies & washing detergent. Washing machine was so useful. Room was clean and modern. Building has a good sized infinity pool with a stunning view of Queensbay. A shallow pool for kids, playground, gym, kids play room, games room & chill out area. Only thing would be to add a convenience store on the ground floor but there is one across the road & vending machines on 13th floor. Security are always onsite and so friendly so makes you feel very safe.FromUS$39

Love the comfy room, bed, breakfast. Also enjoy using the frew shuttle service to Queensbay Mall.
Also love the gym facility. However the running threadmill I have trouble figuring out how to turn it on, will be good if there is a note to indicate how to start the machine. Notice another guest also has the similar problem.FromUS$59

The room was large and comfortable, perfect for families with children under 12. The kids especially loved having the pool right outside the room, making it easy for parents to keep an eye on them. The service overall was not disappointing. The main issue, however, was the presence of Charlie ants, which could be dangerous for children.FromUS$67

It is very difficult to find. Generally, the hotel will contact you to pick it up after booking. Otherwise, you will find it for a long time. There is no signal on the mountain, and the hotel Wi-Fi is sufficient.
The environment is okay. It was really gloomy at night. The wooden door of the toilet suddenly opened several times in the middle of the night. It really scared me so much that I couldn't sleep well all night. In fact, it should be caused by the loose wood. Very friendly. One thing to say, hygiene needs to be strengthened very much.FromUS$182

The breakfast was good, the fried chicken was very delicious, the curry with nasi lemak was great, but there were not many kinds of vegetables and fruits. The parking lot is free, but there are not many cars, the service is very good, check in and check out have parking handles to help carry your luggage and then take you from the room to your parking location. Without TV, the telephone signal and network signal are not very good. The forest is here to cut off from the world.FromUS$138
