Everything worth walking to

The hotel keeps two guides for guests: a food map of the blocks around Jalan Pintu Sepuluh, and a list of the places in Alor Setar worth the trip. Both are below, and both are the hotel’s own.

The Paddy

The hotel’s own café, on the ground floor — so the first and last meal of a stay need not involve going outside at all.

For today’s hours and what’s on, the front desk will know.

Everywhere below is on the hotel’s printed food map. Walking times aren’t — the map’s own footnote concedes a step “may defer based on gender, age and height”.
