Cititel Express Penang is a budget hotel at 123 Lebuh Noordin in George Town, within the historic part of the city that is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has 234 rooms across three categories: Standard, Superior and Family Room. The hotel describes its approach as smart, clean and simple, and is aimed at both leisure and business travellers who want a central base rather than resort facilities. Every room comes with air conditioning under individual temperature control, broadband internet, satellite TV, a mini refrigerator, an in-room digital locker, coffee and tea making facilities, a hair dryer, an IDD telephone and a shower cabin with a rain showerhead. Shared facilities are deliberately basic: complimentary wireless internet, a common ironing area on each guest floor, car rental on request, and facilities for guests with reduced mobility. The hotel sits in a district once known as Wembly, which was a centre for theatre and entertainment and is now surrounded by colonial shophouses, street art and heritage streets. It is a short walk from the KOMTAR tower and its bus terminal, and a short drive from the Penang ferry terminal and Penang International Airport. The hotel is part of the Cititel group, which also runs Cititel Penang, Cititel Mid Valley in Kuala Lumpur and Cititel Express properties in Kota Kinabalu and Ipoh.
