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. I had a wonderful stay at Tony's guest house. It is in a beautiful and peaceful location and the facilities where amazing. My room was comfortable and the shared bathroom facilities were clean and hot showers available. I took the bus from Georgetown which was quite long but very easy to do. I walked to the national park in 15 minutes and used Grab to do another trip which again was easy. I loved that I could cook in the kitchen available for guests! I felt very welcome so thanks to all who work there.

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. The room was beautiful, spacious and that tub was incredible. The staff were so sweet and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.

At the guest house, each unit is equipped with bed linen and towels. Our Stay at The Aayu Church St in Penang was a fantastic stay! The house was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The location was perfect, with easy access to restaurants and attractions. The host was incredibly helpful and attentive, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, it was a great value for the price, and I highly recommend it.

Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar is less than 1 km from the guest house, while Penang Times Square is a 18-minute walk away. Penang International Airport is 14 km from the property. Very friendly and helpful staff, quiet and extremely peaceful place to stay in. Close to my fav place, the heritage sites.

Located in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach, Cocoa Mews Cafe and Homestay provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free WiFi and a shared kitchen. The property is around 2 km from Penang Times Square, 8.2 km from Straits Quay and 8.2 km from Penang Botanic Gardens. Penang Hill is 9.4 km from the guest house and Queensbay Mall is 12 km away. It's a lovely place. Howie it's super friendly host, always helping with information of what to do or eat and where. They pay attention on every detail, like having face mask for free(just in case you need it) or things for personal cleaning or care. The breakfast is basic like instant coffee, or coffee to make, tea, bread, jam and things like that, but every day they bring some extra typical food from Penang. The cleaning conditions are excellent, everything is tidy and smell nice. The location is fantastic, close to the ferry harbour, close to the buses to everywhere and surrounded by many places to hang out. Plus and most important, the company of lovely cats that won't let you go around without doing some cuddles to them. If we can come back, without any doubt, we'll be back to Cocoa Mews!

The property features mountain and river views, and is 18 km from Queensbay Mall. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. The location is amazing. Fully immersed in nature. The walk up to the nearby Thai restaurant for sunset was great. We ate fresh Durian and pineapple. Explored the grounds lots—including the lovely local dogs. The pool is a really nice touch
