Homestays in Penang, Malaysia

The entire guesthouse was spotlessly clean, and the decor was warm and stylish. The host was very friendly and patiently answered all our questions about local attractions and how to get around. The location is excellent, with food, drinks, and entertainment all within easy reach.

The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, close to all the main attractions with excellent transport links. The room was comfortable, clean, and quiet, making for a very satisfying stay. I was particularly impressed by the hotel's accessible facilities; it's wheelchair-friendly, which is a huge plus for seniors and guests with mobility issues. The staff were all friendly, warm, and attentive. This is definitely a hotel I'd recommend and will certainly be returning to! 😊🏨♿✨

Really had a very pleasant stay here with my family 😊 We all loved the unit very much. The house design feels very cozy and comfortable, and most importantly, the whole place was very clean. Before our stay, the check-in and check-out instructions provided were also very clear and easy to follow, which made the whole self check-in process very smooth and convenient for us. The facilities were also very family-friendly for guests with babies and children. The host thoughtfully prepared extra bedsheets, pillows and blankets in the cabinet. There were also board games, swimming goggles and swimming floats prepared for guests. The kitchen utensils were very complete, and they even prepared separate utensils for Muslim guests, which was very thoughtful. Another thing we really appreciated was the floor mats outside the bathrooms because our family is not used to walking around indoors with wet feet. My daughter especially loved sleeping in the living room because she could lie on the bed while chatting together with the family. There was even an old-school game console for guests to play with, which brought back nostalgic memories 😊 The air-conditioning was cold enough, and the refrigerator remained powered on while we were outside, so we did not have to worry about our food getting spoiled. The bathroom also had a shower chair for elderly guests, which was very suitable for my father. The location was also very convenient. In the morning, there were Malay food stalls right across the accommodation. Walking about 5–10 minutes to the left side, there were also Chinese food options available. Downstairs, there was ZUS Coffee and a mini bar, which made everything even more convenient for families staying here. During our stay, my father accidentally broke the shoe rack while sitting down to wear his shoes, and we also accidentally cracked two mugs while making ice. The host was very understanding, did not blame us, and immediately reassured us not to worry. We truly appreciated their kindness and professionalism. The only small suggestion for improvement would be to have more power sockets, as families travelling together usually need to charge many phones and devices. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would gladly come back again 😊

The room is surprisingly clean, coz with this price I actually did not expect much. Although the type of my booking room was changed, I am still happy with the rooms given. There are full set of amenities given and the shared bathroom as well as the washing machine are quite clean as well. It was a pleasant stay as the customer service is always available even when it's late night. They acted quickly to all my problems and were very helpful which I really appreciate a lot! Will definitely stay there again in my next penang trip! They even helped me to solve my piggy bank problem 😭😭😭 soooo helpful , and once again thank you very much for everything that you've provided.

At this price point, it's fantastic value for money. I'd definitely return. Although the location is a bit far from GT, I would still consider it for future stays as it's not far from the commercial area, and transportation is decent.

The hotel is very clean, location is excellent and very convenient for getting around, with easy access to many attractions. The only downside is that there are too few socket in the room, making it inconvenient to charge multiple devices. The hair dryer provided is also quite weak and takes a long time to dry hair. Overall, it was still a pleasant stay.

Overall we are satisfied with this hotel but there are one thing I want to highlight. After check out the lady whom I liased with when I checked in told me that there are a burn mark on the bedsheet & also mattress protector and she will forfeit my deposit of RM50. I then asked my niece who slept on that bed & she said the burn mark was initially there but she doesn’t know that she must inform us about it. I’ve tried to explained to her many times that my 11 years old niece was sleeping on that bed & none of us in that room smoke or using any electrical appliances such as hair iron or curling iron or which non of us have with us so how can we the burn mark appeared there. She kept insisting that it was a fresh burn mark and she won’t let her hotel guests sleep with a burn mark bedsheet. This is totally a scam to us as I travel with my mum, my husband, niece (11 years old) & nephew (10 years old) could caused the damage as claimed. I do not have choices but just accept it as the lady keep saying that my deposit is not even enough to cover. Am not sure why they used such a tactic towards a family with kids and I have never had this problem in my entire booking with Trip.com. It was our mistake that we didn’t check the hotel room condition as we checked in very late - 8:26pm and all of us are really tired from travelling long journey. I’d say it was caused by their own staff which are 2 Bangladeshi guys who handle housekeeping but they blamed it on my family. Of course they won’t admit it as the lady keep saying they won’t provide burn bedsheet. This is totally not fair to me and one of the staff keep insisting me to pay the deposit when I arrived.

This is a homestay, a pretty good one! Add the landlord on WeChat in advance, and you will get answers to any questions. You can communicate with any questions first, and any problems during your stay can be solved smoothly. The suite is a building in a building, with a large space that can accommodate 5-6 people. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room can see the sea view without dead ends. The room facilities are very complete, even equipped with washing and drying machines, kitchen utensils, tableware, etc. It is a good choice for travelers who stay longer and have cooking needs. But I still emphasize that this is a homestay, there will be no hotel services, no daily room cleaning, garbage cleaning, towel and bed sheet replacement and other services (if there is a need, you need to contact the landlord in advance and arrange at your own expense), so if you can't accept this form of accommodation, it is recommended not to choose it!

Nice place. Upgraded since I was last there. Nice thick, firm and comfy mattresses. Nice to have independent sockets and lighting on each dorm bed. However, the single AC unit in the room is ineffective for the large room with 18 beds. A selection of fans would be a great addition to circulate to air. Reception is not 24hr.

- Location is strategic - Cleanliness is good, all plug points can be used and wifi connection is strong too. - limited parking space, - Self check-in, owner will give you instruction before you arrived. - feels like home. - good place to stay.
