Penang Tune Hotel is one of the latest addition of hotels in our tiny island. It is a limited service, budget hotel chain run by Tune Hotels Regional Services Sdn. Bhd.
If you can recall, the limited service model used by Tune Hotels is similar to the no frills business model practiced by its related company, low-cost airline carrier Air Asia.
Touted as a “5-star sleeping experience at a 1-star price “, Tune Hotel is located along Burmah Road, downtown Penang, next to New World Park and within 5 mins drive to Komtar and all the heritage sites in George Town.
Penang Tune Hotel has 258 clean and secure rooms with 5-star beds and private showers and are available. Customers may then add in the features they need, for additional cost.
Some of the available add-ons include use of air-conditioning and wireless internet access.
Service Standard
Penang Tune Hotel omit conventional facilities and services such as meeting rooms, swimming pools, business centers and gyms.

- Rates are set on demand-based pricing according to the number of rooms available – generally the earlier the booking, the lower the rate.
