Tony’s Guesthouse at Teluk Bahang in Batu Ferringhi provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a terrace. This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

This place is typical Malaysia Chinese village style, enjoyed lying down in a hammock at midnight with cool breeze.. Water pressure was excellence for both heater and tap water..

Situated in George Town, 2.2 km from Northam Beach, My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and express check-in and check-out.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Very easy Check in and we were immediately welcomed by the friendly cats. Our private room was quite small but very clean and one of the best beds we have on a 3 month trip. The facilities were great and we could get free water and free washing which was a bonus. It was always very quiet and the cats were a great feature. Walkable to all the highlights of Georgetown - would definitely recommend to stay here.

Located 2.5 km from Northam Beach, Heritage Villa by Aayu George Town Penang in George Town provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi.

Our stay at Aayu Penang was absolutely wonderful! The room was clean and very comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. We stayed in a slightly noisy area, but that was part of the charm. It’s a lively, cultural neighborhood full of character and local flavor. The location couldn’t be better—close to everything! We were able to walk to local attractions, try amazing street food, and soak in the rich heritage of Penang right outside our door. The owner is really helpful and very informative about everything. They even gave us late check-out as our flight got delayed. Also the staffs who work here are charming and friendly. We felt very welcomed here. Aayu is a great choice if you're looking for an authentic and convenient place to stay. We truly enjoyed our time here. See you next time Penang!

Located within 2.4 km of Northam Beach and 600 metres of 1st Avenue Penang, Aayu Melayu George Town Penang provides rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in George Town.

Faultless place to stay. Really helpful staff via WhatsApp and on site guest assistant. Self check in was welcome. Cannot fault the place. Would recommend. They have some deals with neighbouring cafes and restaurants to avail of discounts. A/C was very effective which was important given the heat.

Located in George Town, 2.2 km from Northam Beach, Aayu Church St George Town Penang provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi.

If you're looking to experience staying in modern heritage house, this is the place to be. There is a shared kitchenette with microwave oven, filtered water, mini fridge. Busy street by day but quiet and peaceful at night. Walking distance to almost everything. We love our room, it's clean, spacious and good view from the window. Air con and Wifi were strong too. Not forgetting to mention, the staff were absolute helpful. The reservation team is literally one message away and they are always ready to help.

2 km from Northam Beach, The Georgetown Green Gates is set in George Town and offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi.

A huge room, one of the biggest I’ve stayed in, in a gated building where all the rooms surrounded a courtyard and there was a communal living room, dining room and kitchen. It felt safe, private and homely. There was a washing machine and iron and ironing board downstairs for any guest to use which was a great bonus. Smart tv that worked with no issues to allow connection to Netflix and other apps. Really friendly and helpful host over WhatsApp. Right round the corner from Love Lane and other great spots in the area. Maybe the best accommodation we’ve had over the last couple of months.

Set in Batu Ferringhi and only less than 1 km from Miami Beach, Ferringhi Inn 51 offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The property is located just outside of the main busy part of batu Ferringhi up the hill from the beach in a quite part which was lovely. We drove but there’s also a bus stop at the bottom.

    The property is clean and well maintanined. Although it is pretty basic and the building is quite old but the property is cosy. The neighbourhood is quiet despite having MRT construction nearby and quite near to the area we were travelling to (we were travelling to Gelugor).

    I love this place a lot. It feels like home. The host was friendly too. The place was so squeaky clean. He allowed me to park my car inside the compound. The password for the lock and keys are easy to access and check~out. Will definitely stay there again next time I go Penang.

    The cleanliness, view, good water pressure. Air-conditioning cools fast. Outside the hotel there are many coffeeshops and street stalls from early morning to afternoon offering cheap and good hawker foods.

    I was very lucky to find this place as l arrived in George Town on a weekend when everything was fully booked. Mr. Koh made me most welcome and even came to collect me on his motor-bike after l had caught the wrong bus. The hostel was clean, quiet and comfortable and very good value for money. An added bonus was that it is situated in the midst of a marvellous outdoor food centre, where you can try all sorts of marvellous Penang dishes.
