Heritage Villa by Aayu, hotel in George Town

Heritage Villa by Aayu features air-conditioned guest accommodation in George Town, 2.5 km from Northam Beach, 700 metres from 1st Avenue Penang and 800 metres from Wonderfood Museum.

Clean and really well located. We received the self check-in details the evening prior through WhatsApp and on the arrival day we received a message telling us our room was ready for an early check-in. The room itself is sufficient for 2 people and clean. We appreciated that the hotel provided a water filtering machine and toiletries. They also provided us with recommendations on where to eat and a detailed plan for 2 days.

Aayu Melayu, hotel in George Town

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.

Very clean and perfect location! They’d put together a personalised travel guide including places to eat, conveniences and created a two day itinerary for exploring Georgetown which was very helpful. They also let us check out 3 hours late for no extra charge!

Melayu Villa by Aayu, hotel in George Town

Situated in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach, Melayu Villa by Aayu features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and express check-in and check-out.

The room is spacious, with private bathroom, the facilities are basic but everything just nice: all you need are there. Breads provided in the pantry are nice, we love the coffee flavour one. It is quite self-service based but everything is easy to use, staff also very responsive through WhatsApp. Location is great, walkable to the center. Very quiet at night. Very recommend to young people and friends (but might not be suitable for family with kids).

Dou Houz Georgetown, hotel in George Town

Situated in George Town, 2.1 km from Northam Beach, Dou Houz Georgetown features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and express check-in and check-out.

Dou Houz is in an absolute amazing location. Close to supermarket, restaurants, the Hin Bus Depot, Cat free bus and walking distance to main attractions in Georgetown. But what makes this place magical is Fuan, who looks after the hotel/hostel. He is the soul of this place and we loved meeting him.

    Lovely guesthouse in a strategic location. It's within walking distance to the main attractions of Georgetown but still quiet at night. The room is charming (love the wooden floors) and the both bed-and bathroom are very clean. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

    The air conditioning worked well. The room was secure. It was quiet at night time. I wanted basic comfortable and clean and this hostel fulfilled that brief. It was helpful to have a convenience store and ATM close by. Location was pretty good and taxis are very cheap so moving around is not a problem.

    This boutique hotel boasts a terrific location (at the very quiet end of a very busy street, so steps away from the action). There are only four rooms in total so everything feels very cosy. Jane and Ryan are excellent hosts, going the extra mile to make their guests feel right at home. The local breakfast offered is absolutely delicious.

    Great hostel in the midst of town. Rather quiet compared to others. Lovely staff! Talkative if you want, private if needed. They give a lot of tips in and outside Georgetown and help with anything when asked. The whole place is rather large and relaxed. Would recommend!

    We loved our stay here. Great location, quiet but also in the centre of things. The guest house is charming and characterful. The room was pretty small but beautiful, with everything we needed. Staff were so friendly and attentive. We were given a very useful map with things to see and places to eat. We were also brought tea and fresh pastries in the afternoon, this was a lovely bonus!
