Located in George Town, 2.2 km from Northam Beach, Aayu Church St - 7 mins to Esplanade, George Town provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. The property features city views and is 400 metres from Wonderfood Museum and 1.5 km from 1st Avenue Penang. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a housekeeping service for guests. 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.

The owner(s) also supply a handy shortlist of locations of both utility and recreation on Google Maps in case you haven't spelled it out for yourself yet.

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. Excellent location (right in the heart of Georgetown).. Howie and Amith were super amazing hosts. Howie is very friendly and was always there to accompany the guests. He took us to the arts fair and to the Gurdwara. He further suggested the attractions. I am absolutely impressed by his personality. He is compassionate and kind. Spotless clean and spacious room. Walking distance to major attractions and eateries. Ah I almost missed the cats. They make the place so special. I can go on writing 100 pages about Howie and the hostel. I can't describe everything in words.
