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. It is the perfect place to spend a few days in contact with nature, in a warm and relaxing environment. Tony makes you feel at every moment as if you were at home, without missing anything. If I spend a few days in Penang again I will stay at his guesthouse for a few days.

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. A gem in the heart of Little India in Georgetown. Love that they retained the history of the building. A truly unique experience. You will not be disappointed!

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!

Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located less than 1 km from 1st Avenue Penang. I come to George Town for the second time, I will choose this hotel again. The location is very good and brand new. It's really comfortable to stay in the public area. 😌 There are fewer rooms in this store. It's not so noisy. I'm very lucky to be the fifth resident of nio. The toilet and bathroom are separated. The room is warmly arranged. The public area will be equipped with IKEA cups. The three-in-one will be replenished in time every day. Coffee and tea. There are also tableware and microwave ovens. Water dispensers and refrigerators are available in the public area. knowing that I was going to leave the george town the next day, noi also specially asked me to take some coffee. Noi is super good. 🥹🥹The hotel is also great!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
