Tony’s Guesthouse at Teluk Bahang in Batu Ferringhi provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a terrace. This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. When staying at the guest house, guests can use private entrance. This place is more than just a guesthouse—it’s Surrounded by national parks, beaches, valleys, hiking trails, every feels like a natural world. What makes it even more special is that the guesthouse itself feels like an extension of nature. Staying here, you don’t just visit nature—you become part of it. I loved how I could enjoy the serenity of being alone, fully immersed in the peaceful surroundings. At the same time, the backpacker has a great place to meet travelers from all over the world and exchange life stories. It was the perfect balance of solitude and social cronnection. And then there’s Tony, He is not just a wonderful host but also a warm and friendly person who loves meeting new people. He shared so many interesting stories with us—especially about his animals and the experiences that come with raising them. His passion and kindness made the stay even more memorable. Tony, thank you for creating such a cozy and special place. After a long year of busyness, I finally had the chance to slow down and enjoy a truly wonderful holiday in your little paradise. I hope to return

Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. Loved the location and the vibe of the hotel. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming. Room in itself was very cozy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this to all who are travelling to Penang!

At the guest house, the units have a desk. There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with slippers, a hair dryer and free toiletries. At the guest house, each unit is equipped with bed linen and towels. I had a wonderful stay here. The apartment offers plenty of space, a tasteful and modern design, and very comfortable beds with pillows that are pleasantly thin. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the old town, with everything just steps away. The host was extremely helpful, and communication was smooth and responsive at all times. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
