Situated in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach and 600 metres from 1st Avenue Penang, Melayu Villa by Aayu - 8 mins walk to Armenian St features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, a garden and a shared lounge. The property features inner courtyard and quiet street views, and is less than 1 km from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar. The guest house has family rooms. It was very central, so easy to walk everywhere and I enjoyed the older architecture. The staff was incredibly helpful, allowing us to check in a couple hours early and giving us great suggestions on what to experience. I appreciated the ease of communication through WhatsApp, sending check-in instructions the day before and being available anytime during the stay if we had questions.

Located 2.5 km from Northam Beach, Heritage Villa by Aayu - 10 mins walk to Armenian St in George Town provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. The property features quiet street views and is 700 metres from 1st Avenue Penang and 800 metres from Wonderfood Museum. The accommodation offers a housekeeping service and a shared lounge for guests. Loved my stay. The room was basic but perfectly functional and very clean. Great location and very friendly staff. I originally booked the room with the shared bathroom (it was always clean and only shared with one other room). Due to becoming ill I asked if I could switch to a room with a private bathroom and pay the extra, this was arranged very quickly and the team even offered to get me medicine if i needed it. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

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. What a difference a staff that actually cares can make. This is a small place with only a few rooms that has not been renovated to cram as many beds as possible in tiny box rooms for maximum profit, but a very chill home with a great vibe and staff that make you feel like part of the family. King Arthur was so helpful and sweet during our stay. The free breakfast changed everyday and always some great local food, not just butter/toast/jam (which is also available 24/7) And of course the cats were sweet and nice to play with, and if you let them, they will sleep in your room with you to enjoy the AC. They had a groupchat to let everyone know what events were happening in town and recommendations for food or day trips. And as many would like to know, soft comfortable mattress and hot water!

Located in George Town and only 70 metres from Tanjung Bungah Beach, Sea Lion by the beach provides accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. Every room has a patio with garden views. Spotlessly clean with comfortable bed and warm welcoming owners. The key card entry is a nice touch. It's a little way out of the main tourist areas but Grab is readily available so not really an issue. Highly recommended.
