Mid-range hotel
FUHotel is a modern hotel at No. 53, Lorong Setia Sentral 1, in the Pusat Perniagaan Sentral commercial block in Bukit Mertajam, on the mainland side of Penang. It is a mainland base rather than a George Town or beach one: Booking.com's distance figures put it around 14 km from the Penang Bridge and around 25 km from Penang International Airport, so it suits people who have business in Seberang Perai or Batu Kawan more than first-time island sightseers. Rooms come in five named categories, from FUPERIOR at 190 square feet up to the FULLEST SUITE at 370 square feet, with king or twin bed options and a sofa bed in the suite. The hotel makes a point of its in-room technology, listing fully automated toilets, automated curtains and smart TVs. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with a desk, kettle, minibar, safety deposit box, flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a bidet. The property is non-smoking, has free WiFi and free private parking on site, offers luggage storage, and runs a 24-hour reception with Mandarin, English and Malay-speaking staff. The hotel's own site points to Design Village Batu Kawan, Sunway Carnival Mall and IKEA Batu Kawan as things to do nearby, but all three are a drive rather than a walk; what is genuinely on the doorstep is a cluster of eateries and international fast-food outlets. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by 12pm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is FUHotel?
It is at No. 53, Lorong Setia Sentral 1, Pusat Perniagaan Sentral, 14000 Bukit Mertajam, Penang — on the mainland (Seberang Perai) side of the state, not on Penang island. Booking.com's distance figures put it about 14 km from the Penang Bridge and about 25 km from Penang International Airport.
Is FUHotel a good base for George Town sightseeing?
Not really. It is on the mainland, and reaching the island means crossing the Penang Bridge or taking the ferry. Booking.com lists Queensbay Mall at around 22 km and 1st Avenue Penang, in central George Town, at around 25 km. It suits people with business or family in Seberang Perai and Batu Kawan better than island sightseers.
What room types does FUHotel have?
Five named categories: FUPERIOR (190 sq ft), FULUXE, FUPREMIER (220 sq ft), FUCHAMBER (290 sq ft) and the FULLEST SUITE (370 sq ft). King and twin bed options are listed for FUPERIOR, FULUXE and FUPREMIER, and the FULLEST SUITE adds a sofa bed. The hotel's own pages give two different sizes for FULUXE — 200 sq ft on the About page and 220 sq ft on the room page — so check with the hotel if the exact size matters to you.
What is in the rooms?
Air conditioning, a desk, a kettle, a minibar, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with a bidet, with bed linen and towels provided. The hotel also lists fully automated toilets, automated curtains and smart TVs as points of difference.
Is there parking?
Yes. Booking.com lists free private parking on site, including a parking garage.
Does FUHotel serve breakfast?
The hotel's own site does not list a restaurant or a breakfast service, and the property has no dining outlet of its own. It is surrounded by eateries and international fast-food outlets including McDonald's, KFC, Subway and Starbucks, which is what the hotel itself points guests towards.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out is by 12:00 PM, as published on the hotel's contact page.
What is nearby?
Eateries and fast-food outlets are within the immediate commercial block. The larger attractions the hotel promotes — Sunway Carnival Mall (around 13 km per Booking.com), Design Village Outlet Mall in Batu Kawan and IKEA Batu Kawan — all need a car or ride-hail, not a walk.
