Aayu Melayu

George Town

With a shared bathroom equipped with a bidet and slippers, units at the guest house also offer free WiFi. At the guest house, all units come with bed linen and towels.

Penang Times Square is 1.5 km from the guest house, while Wonderfood Museum is less than 1 km away. The nearest airport is Penang International Airport, 14 km from Aayu Melayu. This guest house is a perfect place to stay when in Georgetown. The location is great, only a short walk from the busy area, bus stops and other landmarks in the town. There are lots of lovely cafes and restaurants in close proximity. Shane and his wife are brilliant hosts. They were so welcoming and shared some great recommendations of things to do and places to eat. This house has great facilities, a big common kitchen area where there was fresh bread in the morning for the guests was a peak. Our room was comfortable and very clean. Check in was super easy. I definitely recommend this property if you are visiting Penang!

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. I chose this due to good location in Georgetown and for the reason they have cats in their guesthouse which made it more homey :) Place is well maintained well and comfortable. I wanted to extend with them for Georgetown Heritage day but they were fully booked. Will definitely come back with my partner and stay again! Happy to have met May (host) briefly, thank you for the good hospitality.

Ren I Tang Heritage Inn

George Town

Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. I loved the historic charm and decor of the whole building, the incredible attension to detail, the lovely ambiance and music in the café/breakfast hall,the friendly staff, the location, the unique and spacious room. The Inn was an attraction in itself and I did not want to leave.
