The caretaker, Ms.Yuri is so friendly and helpful she always greets me with a smile and really checks up on me if I ever I need anything. The cats are adorable as well thet are sweet and so clingy, love them. Thank you so much Ms.May and Ms.Yuri, see you again next time and May God Bless you more❤❤❤

24 Kimberley, hotel in George Town

24 Kimberley enjoys a location in George Town, 4.5 miles from Straits Quay and 4.5 miles from Penang Botanic Gardens. The air-conditioned accommodations are a 7-minute walk from 1st Avenue Penang.

It was one of the best guesthouses that I have stayed in. Cosy interiors and floors, very clean bathroom, location near the famous Armenian street, and most importantly the nice staff. I stayed in the dormitory room with a separate mini room for each bed, which is a good idea in terms of security and privacy. There’s a lot of places to eat nearby, especially at night for Chinese street food. Outside is not noisy at night.

Pine Muntri, hotel in George Town

Pine Muntri enjoys a location in George Town, 1.1 miles from Penang Times Square and 4.9 miles from Straits Quay. The air-conditioned accommodations are one mile from Northam Beach.

love it the most for the vibe and ambience. somewhat modern classic. perfect for backpackers. the location is not that hard to find. easy self check in, the staff will text you how to find the building, the password for both main entrance and your room. we picked room with private bathroom, so our room is kinda like 2 floor. when you enter, the ground floor was for a desk and bathroom. for bed, you need to climb the stairs. basic amenities provided, toiletries. hairdryer. shared pantry with complete facilities. anyway, really love the vibe.

    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!
