Homestays in Penang, Malaysia

Amazing Stay — Definitely Worth It! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a pleasant stay at this hotel and honestly, everything was better than I expected. From the moment I arrived, the whole experience felt comfortable, smooth and welcoming. The check-in process was quick and easy, and the staff were really friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location is definitely one of the biggest highlights. It was very convenient to get around, and there were plenty of restaurants, shops and places to visit nearby. I didn’t have to spend too much time travelling around, which made the whole trip much easier, especially when I had a packed itinerary. As for the room, I was really impressed with how clean and comfortable it was. The room was spacious enough for me to move around comfortably, and everything was well arranged. The bed was also really comfortable, which was honestly important after a long day of travelling and walking around. The room had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, and I really appreciated how clean the bathroom and sleeping area were. I also have to mention the cleanliness because this was one of the things I noticed immediately. The room felt fresh and properly maintained when I arrived. Towels, bedsheets and the bathroom were all clean, and the overall environment felt very comfortable. It’s always nice when you can come back to your hotel after a tiring day and just relax without worrying about anything. The staff were another highlight of my stay. Everyone I interacted with was polite, friendly and helpful. Whenever I had a question or needed assistance, they were happy to help. The service felt professional but still warm, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was also really nice. It felt comfortable and relaxing without being too formal. Whether you’re travelling alone, with friends, as a couple or with family, I think this hotel would be a great choice. It’s the kind of place where you can actually look forward to coming back and resting after a long day outside. For the price, I honestly think the hotel offers great value for money. You get a comfortable room, good service, a convenient location and a pleasant overall experience. Of course, every hotel may have small things that could be improved, but personally, nothing during my stay affected my overall experience. Overall, I’m really happy with my stay here and I would definitely consider staying here again on my next trip. I would also recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean and convenient place to stay without spending too much. Definitely one of the hotels I’d happily come back to! 9/10 ⭐️

Clean and the views are great. The facilities are excellent, everything you need is available. It's a good place to stay. Downstairs, there's a ZUS coffee shop and an Indian restaurant, so you have plenty of dining options. Getting a taxi is also convenient.

The hotel's facilities are great, especially the pool which offers fantastic views and a very comfortable water temperature. The views from the rooms are also beautiful, overlooking a large, auspicious area below. However, the location is a bit out of the way, and the surrounding amenities are fairly basic. If you need something urgently, you'll have to buy it at a convenience store along the road, as there's nothing nearby. It's a taxi ride to Kimberley Street. There are two night markets close by, and while the food is decent, the variety isn't extensive. I'd still recommend exploring other areas for more dining options.

I had a really pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the facilities were great. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout my stay. The location was also convenient, making it easy to get around and visit nearby places. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing place to stay.

No pictures to share. The location is very good and easy to find. The lounge area is spacious but only has two chairs. The carpet isn't clean enough to sit on. The bathroom is okay, but the toilet isn't clean, and no slippers were provided for the toilet. The pump was broken. The bedsheets and towels smelled sour, as if they hadn't been dried properly. In my opinion, the cube sleeping area is only suitable for small people. Check-in and check-out were easy. Information from the owner was very fast and accurate.

The hotel is very clean, location is excellent and very convenient for getting around, with easy access to many attractions. The only downside is that there are too few socket in the room, making it inconvenient to charge multiple devices. The hair dryer provided is also quite weak and takes a long time to dry hair. Overall, it was still a pleasant stay.

I stayed here for three days and two nights, so I'll share the pros and cons. Upon check-in, the owner and front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The room looked exactly like the photos – very spacious, with plenty of room to open several suitcases. The bathroom had a wet/dry separation, and all the toiletries and a hairdryer were provided. The air conditioning was a large unit and very powerful. There were plenty of power outlets, and the TV even had iQiyi. In the common courtyard, there was a shared kitchen, and two washing machines and two dryers, all clean and comfortable. Free cookies were also available. You needed a room card to access your floor, which was great for security. There was ample parking too. Plus, there's a free, well-equipped gym with lots of machines. Overall, for the price, the value for money is excellent! The bed and duvet were very comfortable and made for a good night's sleep. However, there were two drawbacks: 1. In room 201, the sink drain had a sewage-like odor. As soon as you got near the sink, the smell would hit you. Even when not in use, just walking past that area, it smelled bad. It was intermittent, but when strong, it would spread to the refrigerator area, though it was confined to that specific zone and didn't fill the entire room. I suggest the owner get something to plug the sink drain. 2. Noise issues. There's a pool table downstairs, and from around 12 AM to 2 AM, you could hear the sound of cue sticks hitting the table – 'thump, thump, thump' – in the room. The first night, I only heard it twice. The second night, unfortunately, a large group of Malaysians came down, and there was over an hour of knocking and shouting. After 2 AM, it was generally quiet. Despite these issues, the owner and front desk staff were very kind and willing to address problems. For example, the loud background music in the lobby was turned off the next day after I mentioned it. They also allowed us a late check-out so we could catch up on sleep. Since it's newly opened and still in its trial operation, they are actively working to improve things. Therefore, I would still recommend it. For around 80+ a night, it's hard to find such a good guesthouse! If they could fix those two issues, it would be perfect. If you have a car and plan to visit Bukit Mertajam, I'd definitely recommend this hotel because it's just a 15-minute drive to the Pek Kong food street.

Overall we are satisfied with this hotel but there are one thing I want to highlight. After check out the lady whom I liased with when I checked in told me that there are a burn mark on the bedsheet & also mattress protector and she will forfeit my deposit of RM50. I then asked my niece who slept on that bed & she said the burn mark was initially there but she doesn’t know that she must inform us about it. I’ve tried to explained to her many times that my 11 years old niece was sleeping on that bed & none of us in that room smoke or using any electrical appliances such as hair iron or curling iron or which non of us have with us so how can we the burn mark appeared there. She kept insisting that it was a fresh burn mark and she won’t let her hotel guests sleep with a burn mark bedsheet. This is totally a scam to us as I travel with my mum, my husband, niece (11 years old) & nephew (10 years old) could caused the damage as claimed. I do not have choices but just accept it as the lady keep saying that my deposit is not even enough to cover. Am not sure why they used such a tactic towards a family with kids and I have never had this problem in my entire booking with Trip.com. It was our mistake that we didn’t check the hotel room condition as we checked in very late - 8:26pm and all of us are really tired from travelling long journey. I’d say it was caused by their own staff which are 2 Bangladeshi guys who handle housekeeping but they blamed it on my family. Of course they won’t admit it as the lady keep saying they won’t provide burn bedsheet. This is totally not fair to me and one of the staff keep insisting me to pay the deposit when I arrived.

Hi. Thank you for hosting us. It was really a wonderful stay. I am especially surprised and warmed by your hospitality. I traveled with 4 young kids (all boys), my elderly mother and my wife. We don't commonly travel because it's always a concern to us, how to make time and space for everybody. But. This time, things are alright and it turned out to be a very smooth and comfortable stay. The place is spacious and just nice for all the 4 kids to roam. The view outside is astonishing and the unit is directly facing east. In the morning, I could actually catch a glimpse of the sunrise. It really makes me understand by sudden, why Penang is named as the jewel of the east. Ya. It was a perfect morning for me then. The room upstairs is specially designed for the kids with warm colours, clean bedsheets, blankets and soft pillows. It's so comfortable, and my kids refuse to leave the room. To my surprise, inside the drawer besides the bed, there are very nice story books for the young minds. Not to mention, the huge TV screen in front of the bed and an even bigger one, downstairs in the living hall.. Ya, there is always something for every different age.. btw, I brought along 2 young minds who are 3 and 5 years old, they had wonderful nights and sound sleep. Ya, it's for those traveling with very young ones, or even the old ones. Ya, the old speaker works really well (with the high ceiling of the living room), when playing a nice morning piano music in the early morning, it's so calm, clear and crisp, and looking out of the window and the vast blue sea. You can temporarily forget about the hassles of life. Thank you again. 👍 Thumbs up

This is a great place to stay. The hotel sent a message with check-in instructions one day in advance. The accommodation is located inside a cafe. The room was large and very clean. The building manager was also lovely. The accommodation is not far from food stalls, shopping malls, and the bus station. It's not deserted at night, which is perfectly fine for a solo female traveler.
