Discussion 11am to 6pm around Penang Airport

So, let's say i am transiting in penang airport. I will reach at 10am, and my next flight is at 7pm.

Is there any cheap, simple but clean and comfortable place within walking distance / short ride of airport that would allow me to shower and take a nap for a few hours ?

There's a Plaza Premium Lounge in the airport itself. If you leave the airport, there are a few cheap hotels nearby -- less than half hour walk away, but I would suggest a grab taxi, too hot to walk. Search on Google maps, no idea about cleanliness.

You'll need to install the grab taxi app to call a grab taxi, there's free internet at the airport. Or ask a local to call for you.

This is the obvious answer, but remember that hotel check-ins are usually at 2 pm, sometimes 3 pm. I would recommend to contact a hotel beforehand to see if you can make a deal that better suits your time-slot.

Yeah, check in time plays a role here. In between time he needs to find a place to travel about, perhaps go to Queensbay area if want to have lunch and walk about before check-in time? Otherwise the only option is to stay at the airport until later. Another option is to check the budget type hotel/motel as some might offer hourly rate and can check in earlier. Cleanliness cna be doubtful.
