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. When staying at the guest house, guests can use private entrance. Great getaway from the city. Simple but clean rooms. Tony was a great host and it was nice to meet other people from around the world. Lots to do and eat in the area, as it's very close to some important attractions in the region.

Situated in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach and 600 metres from 1st Avenue Penang, Melayu Villa by Aayu - 8 mins walk to Armenian St features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, a garden and a shared lounge. The property features inner courtyard and quiet street views, and is less than 1 km from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar. The guest house has family rooms. Great location, close to wall painting street and Kimberly night market. So nice host of hospitality helps us a lot. The room with high ceiling gives us space for luggage, pretty good! The hotel also offers coffee, tea, hot/cold water and bread, which is very considerate. I will come back again next time

Located 2.5 km from Northam Beach, Heritage Villa by Aayu - 10 mins walk to Armenian St in George Town provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. The property features quiet street views and is 700 metres from 1st Avenue Penang and 800 metres from Wonderfood Museum. The accommodation offers a housekeeping service and a shared lounge for guests. Loved my stay. The room was basic but perfectly functional and very clean. Great location and very friendly staff. I originally booked the room with the shared bathroom (it was always clean and only shared with one other room). Due to becoming ill I asked if I could switch to a room with a private bathroom and pay the extra, this was arranged very quickly and the team even offered to get me medicine if i needed it. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
