Hi all, I’m flying out to Penang for my B visa this week. What hotels do you recommend if all I want is to remain a shut-in and stay indoors during my stay?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is seeking recommendations for hotels in Penang where they can stay indoors during their B visa trip. Commenters suggest several options, including 4-star hotels in Georgetown known for their quiet atmosphere and amenities, and mention the Eastern & Oriental as a nice but more expensive choice.

May I ask which airport you’re flying out of, BKk?

(just for my personal research and next visa run)

BKK because I want to leave the night before. The embassy only opens in the morning.

it’s not an embassy it’s a consulate.

Do you have all your documents in order? That’s the more important question

Thank you for correcting me. I'm not sure what the differences is.

I'm counting on the company to provide all my documents today, it's a BOI company, so hopefully they've got it all together.
