Everything and they place was not worth the money. Like what RM160 per night for that shitty hotel was bullshit. I don't recommend anyone staying

Cocoa Mews Cafe and Homestay, hotel in Butterworth

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.

Arthur, Howie and Amit were like fairy godfathers during my stay there. They took care of every little detail during my stay better than any 5-star hotel could. There was always some local, vegetarian-friendly specialty for us to sample in the morning, in addition to bread and hot beverages. They had provided many suggestions of things to do, but they had never tried to sell any tours or packages, so I knew I could trust their recommendations. Filtered water and earplugs were available, the WiFi was strong, the cats were adorable, the property was kept clean, and the location could not have been better. Tourist attractions were within walking distance and public buses were plentiful just a 1-minute walk away.

Aayu Melayu, hotel in Butterworth

Located within 2.4 km of Northam Beach and 600 metres of 1st Avenue Penang, Aayu Melayu provides rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in George Town.

Aayu Melayu is a great place to wind down after a good day's visiting George Town. It's very close to extremely good eateries and Shane took the time to provide us with some itineraries that could have been our go-to if we hadn't prepared in advance. He also sent us several map lists with good spots to visit and eat, which came really in handy and I highly recommend you use them. The high ceilings help keep the building cool, and good effort has been put in to accommodate european travellers.

    Waze : Eik Sing Machinery...go straight pass thru this place. You wld reach the homestay building. The security guards & host were very helpful & friendly, they wld help you. New building with not many occupancy yet hence v took the opportunity to park ground floor as v drove a long car. Everything were great. Simple homestay with very basic needs. Appreciate IKEA things from sofa to fork & spoon. A lot of eatery around..check out the sungai dua food stalls..cheap & local food taste great.

    Great location! The host is super helpful and prompt response when we have an issue with the stay. The host is definitely one of the most helpful one I have ever met and the main reason why I still give a good reviews as conclusion. The security guard is very nice and helpful which kinda surprised me as it was different from what I saw in the previous reviews. The view is really nice from the room, and the room is really value for the second room I get, room is big and even have 2 bathroom in the unit.

    Great location if you arrive by train. The proximity to the Butterworth train station allowed me to get there within 5 minutes of getting a Grab. There is a supermarket just next to the accommodation and an eatery just across the road. The host was very prompt in responding to our requests. Views were great!
