The place is exactly as it appears in photos, modern and clean. The apartment is supplied with everything you need, including soap and shampoo. There is also a water filter attached to the kitchen sink, and all the utensils you need. You can tell that the owner has put a lot of thought and consideration into making the place pleasant to stay in.
In terms of location, there are plenty of local restaurants, plus international places like a Korean restaurant and various fast food places such as Pizza Hut and KFC.
We chose this apartment because it was near the airport and our flight was early in the morning. I definitely recommend choosing this place if you want to stay somewhere without tons of tourists and want to get a feel for local living.

Appreciate:
1) Customer support WhatsApp replies very quickly and politely :).
2) Many food establishments nearby. Search “claypot restaurant” we ate there 4 days in a row even after shifting away from this hotel.
3) Swimming pool was nice and clean.
4) Antique decorations in the hotel looks amazing.
5) had 2 private carpark lots in the compound, there are parking spots outside of the compound as well, just unsure if it is legal. We were lucky to have at least 1 lot in the hotel during our stay.
Can be improved:
1) Hotel has no reception, make sure customers gets their check in details before they arrive the hotel or at least just before 3pm.
2) Wifi speed can be faster. It failed a few times during my 3d2n stay there. The Mrs and I couldn’t even load google maps. Quite frustrating. Had to use my data.
3) Sound proofing maybe? We had a room facing the Main Street and in our room there’s a door that used to be able to open and go to the balcony but it’s blocked by a large wardrobe. This allowed the sound to travel through the door gaps.
4) toilet can be cleaner, check the floor traps and the make sure it’s clean, cleaner left a ball of hair stuck at the floor traps.
5) toilet floor can have anti slip strips. Really slippery. Had to ban my toddler from going into the toilet.
6) too many mosquitoes at the hotel. Fortunately we didn’t have it in our room.
This time the homestay experience in Penang was simply great! The room was very clean and tidy, the facilities were complete, the living was particularly comfortable and warm like home. Especially to mention the landlord sister, she is really very good, not only enthusiastic, but also very caring, took us to a lot of local fun places, like hidden niche attractions, very special and very good shooting! In addition, the restaurant she recommended is cost-effective and super delicious, and I really experienced the authentic Penang cuisine! If you come to Penang again, you will definitely choose to live here, I highly recommend it to everyone!

Location was good near the jetty and walking distance to all sights but hotel is not ideal if you have mobility issues as there are 30 steps to climb to the first floor and double that for second floor. Check in is actually the shop cashier.. it took me a while to figure it out. You will be carryong all your stuff to your room as there is nobody available to help, so pack light. The room was of a good size but nothing like the picture of the Deluxe room I had booked. Room is ok need a repair here and there but well equipped including kettle and iron. Bathroom is strange... if you take a shower you flood the whole bathroom as there is no shower curtain or cubicle. Make sure you make nbr 1 , nbr 2 or combo before taking your shower. Overall is fair balance of a budget hotel vs cost, nothing more nothing less.

The environment is quiet and peaceful, the staff is very warm and friendly, the food is convenient, the toilet is outside because it is an old house renovation, which is not convenient, but the rest is very satisfactory.

GGuest UserThe room is quite big, suitable for traveling with children. The washing machine and dryer are easy to use. There is a breakfast shop on the right turn, which turned out to be a Michelin 2024 restaurant. The food is delicious and the price is cheap.
BBdawg-DdawgBooked here for New Year’s Eve and ended up staying four nights. There is literally zero vibe here so if you’re looking for a social place not the one. This wasn’t an issue for us though. The hostel is in an amazing local. Super close to love lane. Not a far walk from the ferry. Lots of street food around. Overall the stay was good. The breakfast goes until noon which is a big plus. It’s basic but really filling at the same time. The rooms were clean as well as the bathrooms. The sheets were a little too stained for me but I am picky that’s why I travel with a silk liner. The air con was great. The staff were quite helpful in helping us get around. The downsides: The wifi would cut out quite a bit. This happened a lot at night and was rather annoying. And the hostel is right across the street from a mosque. We were woken up every single morning at 5am and then again at 6am with the noise from the mosque. It was frustrating because after the 5am wake up it would be hard to fall back asleep but you could always count on the 6am to keep you up even longer. I’m sure if the room was a little further back from the street it wouldn’t have overly affected us. Just a warning that it is a little noisy here. We would stay again despite both of these negatives.
GGuest UserOverall it's good experience stay here coz location superb, and accessible with public transport such as rapid Penang bus. Convenience shop located at same building, and also nearby to gurney drive which alot of local food stall. Not to mention gurney plaza, a shopping mall with various choices.
HHairun Neesyacheck out time is 12pm, but if another hotel is at least 1pm, you can deposit back. This place has to wait until 3 hours to get your deposit. and owner can share the sentence 'don't chase anymore. indeed it will be for a slow deposit 'which is stupid for me as you are doing business, you suppose to answer to your customer inquiry. mula2 asked for payment he said by 1pm. Then he said by 3pm. so it's kind of a bit of a service die. This place has a house and many rooms. The cleaner didn't come today. So who is sitting in the front room of the kitchen mmg akn smell mcm2 laa if the cleaner doesn't come cause garbage and dishes and cups will all stay in the sink. and the sink is right in front of room 3. it will smell and be dirty.
GGuest UserFirstly the staff, they are all really lovely and cannot do enough for you. When we checked in we realised that we had accidentally booked the wrong week! But this wasn’t an issue as we were given a better room for the same price! In fact, we actually enjoyed our stay that much we ended up staying for 14 nights! The location is great, there’s plenty to do, lots of great cheap restaurants and the beach is less than a few minutes walk. Initially it was hard to find as it’s placed in an old shopping centre on the 2nd floor. We took the escalators but there is also a lift. Once you get inside, the secure front door the reception is modern and clean, 24hr help is always available and the rooms lock with a physical key. You get way more than you’d expect for the price. Modern clean rooms with refurbished en suite with rainfall shower. Hot water at all times and reliable WiFi. Tea and coffee 24/7 too! And breakfast everyday until 11am!! Every 3 days we got clean towels, fresh sheets and the room was cleaned. Some guests have complained about the noise from the charaoke which is on the same floor but our room was the closest to this and we were never kept up, the latest would could just about hear it was 23:30 but this was on a Saturday night! The only downsides, albeit small, were the lack of variety at breakfast, lack of natural light in the rooms due to the windows facing into the shopping centre so the curtains should be closed, and the WiFi was a bit slow, but only noticeable if streaming HD videos, for general web surfing it was more than capable! Overall me and my partner were very happy with our 2 weeks we spent here, we felt very safe and relaxed and you can’t argue with the price! It saved us a lot of money on our 6 month trip and was one our favourite place we stayed in Penang! Thank you once again, if we are ever in Malaysia again we will be sure to visit :)
HHafiq HaiqalIf you want to make shared bathroom pls make sure its clean because all people use the bathroom. The room was okay but you can hear people walking since its made from wood. Got few spider web on the ceiling and the room is quite small for the price. If you want to have a short stay maybe its okay but if you want to have long stay you might find other place that have private bathroom and spacious room to walk around. Its not 24hours receptionist bcs when got back around 2am there’s no one at the counter. Overall the place is okay but please replenish and refurbish furnitures to help customer have a good stay at your hotel TQ
NNatalia_ekbClean, snow-white bed linen. Good Wi-Fi. There are enough shared bathrooms and toilets. There is coffee and tea. There is a microwave and a refrigerator in the kitchen. The hotel is quiet. Remote registration, a letter with a password is sent by mail.
