Budget RM80–120/night, want bars + hawkers walkable. Which lane is less party-noise at 2am?

Love Lane and upper Chulia are the classic backpacker belt — guesthouses RM80–150, speakeasies and Reggae bars on Love Lane. Chulia Street itself is louder with hawkers till midnight and better for food than sleep — pick a guesthouse on a side lane (Muntri, Stewart) if you want quiet. Love Lane party noise until 2am Friday/Saturday is real — ask for a back room or stay one block east toward Armenian St for heritage boutique quiet. Both are walkable to Komtar CAT bus and Armenian St murals.

Chulia — more food, Love Lane bars spill noise until 2am. My guesthouse on Chulia was fine with earplugs one night.

Old Penang Guesthouse on Love Lane — social, thin walls, knew what I signed up for.
