Aayu Melayu, hotel in Gelugor

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.

The hosts and staff are wonderful! I was greeted upon entry at my own pace, and had a decent sized room to get comfortable in. The bathrooms were pleasantly tidy and clean, with encouragement to not waste heating or light by turning off all switches when not in use. I was helpfully sent an idealised 2 day itinerary as i a only in Penang for a short while, which was helpful to see what a true Georgetown resident would appreciate in the city. I was then sent a link to a creatives origami workshop at the Jetty’s which was a lovely thing to do on my last day and feel really present in the space rather than bumbling as a tourist. Such a gorgeous city to just walk around in and appreciate, so it helps that Aayu is so wonderfully located. For all the major tourist and connection spots, I didn’t have to walk more than 20min to get there and back. So so brilliantly positioned. And next to a great restaurant Hwa Ting next door.

    Friendly staff and good location (located in a quiet housing area); it's like staying in a homestay because you can use the fridge and its kitchen's basic utensils (although we rented the rooms); iron with a board is provided outside the rooms. The air-cond, fan and shower water heater work well. The size of the double room is spacious enough for my son's family (2 adults + 2 children aged 8 and 12 years old) to move around.
