Aayu Beach St, hotel in Jelutong

Situated in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach, Aayu Beach St features air-conditioned accommodation and a shared lounge.

The host was incredibly kind and friendly. There was delicious bread provided each morning and everything was always clean. The shower had a water heater, which was great! Despite the thin walls there was no disturbance at night. We stayed in george town for 4 weeks total, and liked aayu beach the best by far out of all the places we stayed. Sadly it was a little out of our price range to stay here for an extended period.

Homs Female Hostel, hotel in Jelutong

Located within 2.1 km of Northam Beach and 600 metres of Wonderfood Museum, Homs Female Hostel provides rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in George Town.

The architecture and the interior design of the house that remains the original style of an old house attracted me to choose this hostel for my 3 days 2 nights vacation at Penang. The owner is a very nice and helpful man, helping me carry my luggage up and down the stairs, and also providing me some useful travel info for the trip. The location is great as many tourist attractions in Georgetown are just walking distance from the hostel.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great access to the city centre! Check these hostels in Jelutong

    Great location with awesome view. Unit was clean and big enough to accommodate 5 of us. Facility had 24/7 security on standby so entry was secured. Location is also convenient to many of the local sites that we've planned to visit. Definitely one of the best property I've came across in Penang thus far.

    Clean, comfortable and very valuable for money. It is better for you to have a car or bike for travelling. The restaurant quite far for walking but if you are travellung by car should be no problem. It is quite near to the town hence for local people it should be no problem. For backpacker, you might need to stay in the georgetown for your own convenience
