Homestays in Penang, Malaysia

Environment: The facilities are very new, and the bedding is good too. Service: The front desk service is excellent, with staff on duty at night, which is convenient for check-in and check-out. Location: Convenient, with many dining options nearby. Transportation: It's located in George Town, a bit far from the Old Town on foot (but fine if you like walking). You can take the bus, but you have to wait 😓. Ride-sharing apps like Grab are convenient. Security: There's security, and the elevator requires a key card, so it's quite safe. Hygiene: For an apartment hotel, it's exceptionally good. Free daily cleaning is offered, but you need to inform the front desk. Swimming Pool: Very good, many families with children were playing there.

'Office hotel'. Spacious space. Natural light. Got water dispenser on the outside corridor on certain levels. Clean and neat. Restaurant Nasi Kandar nearby. Most important thing is there's free parking. No hassle to think about overnight parking charge. But you need to get the parking card before the office close, and before you enter the parking floor.

Our stay in the Coast Suite was great! It had two separate rooms, which was perfect for our group as we had different schedules and didn't disturb each other. We shared a bathroom. The hotel facilities were complete, and toiletries were promptly replenished. We noticed the toilet was leaking after checking in, and maintenance sent someone to fix it right away. The Indian housekeeping staff was polite and enthusiastic, and the front desk receptionists were attentive and responsible.

View from the apartment was amazing and just need to look through the window and you see the blue sky and ocean. Just that the apartment they gave us has 3 rooms and if you book 2 rooms they will locked up the one of the room. The issue is that when we checked in they just let the 3rd room open and we thought we could used it until the security guard came and knock the door and said he has to lock up one of the rooms.

The Location, cleanliness, and service are all excellent. We just hope that the toilet and bath space is more spacious. Another thing is that we were able to enjoy and experience the breathtaking New Year's countdown fireworks from the historic skyline of Georgetown City at the hotel's common area terrace. See the photo taken during that time below.

We stayed in a family room on the 3rd floor, but the internet connection was very poor and the Wi-Fi was weak. We couldn't use our phones in the room, which was really inconvenient. The bathroom and other areas, however, were clean and good.

This accommodation is perfect for families and very convenient for independent travelers. It's configured as a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom, which is a huge plus for those not used to the local cuisine, allowing you to easily prepare your own meals – cooking noodles or hotpot, for instance, would be excellent. The property also boasts a swimming pool and offers lovely sea views from the window. However, there are a couple of drawbacks: the windows aren't very soundproof, and the curtains aren't blackout, which makes it hard to sleep in. Despite these minor issues, it's a great choice for independent travelers.

This century-old shophouse is exquisitely decorated, clean, and beautiful. The complimentary afternoon tea for a two-night stay exceeded our expectations – it was both beautiful and delicious. The owners are incredibly kind, and communicating in Chinese was effortless. Its central location in the old town makes it the perfect choice for exploring Penang's food scene and attractions.

The unit was clean and our host was responsive to our queries. Checking in was a breeze with the reception. The kids really enjoyed the pool. We could simply walk around to nearby shops and restaurants due to its convenient location. However, we had to wait a long time for one of the four lifts especially around noon time as many people were checking out. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay for us.

It is rather disappointing that while that room is simple and nice, it seriously lacked the basic necessities of the room. Pls take note that there are no room slippers provided and the floor clearly is not cleaned (our socks are black as we did not bring our own slippers). The WiFi is also not stable, firstly we couldn't even find our room WiFi and the technician came to fix it. However, the connection was lost on and off hence, very frustrating. Pls also take note that there is no daily cleaning / refreshing of the rooms. We stayed for 3 nights and we had to make do with how we entered the room from 1st day to last day. :( Besides the location, we probably wont come back to stay again, unless the management of apartment decided to improve the level of service and amenities provided to guests.
