Hands-down one of the most comfortable hostels I’ve ever slept in, especially after I spent my first night in Penang in a much more “active” hostel, my two nights here felt like a blessing and finally restored some sanity for me :) on top of that, the host Bobo is very communicative and helpful to settle me in.

My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN

George Town

My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN is located in the bustling George Town. The no-frills accommodation offers guests access to a shared lounge to socialize or simply relax. Free WiFi access is available. The cat attendants ensured I had a pleasant stay. They help me check my room, sleep with me in case I have nightmares and keep me company when it's too hot to go outside. The room is great, toilet is clean, location is good. But nothing beats having cats around you 24/7.
