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. I appreciate the hospitality of Uncle Tony. He is very hands-on and will treat you like a friend/family. I loved that I was able to hear his stories. Although my stay was short, it was all worth it! I was able to experience all that I wanted, including hiking the Teman Negara (National Park) which is very close to Uncle Tony's place. We also went to the night market. There are bikes that you can use which would only cost you a couple of Ringgits. I also love the two lovely fat cats!! The place is really quiet and away from the bustle of George Town. It is an hour bus ride away, which I don't mind. Food is not a problem, you can easily buy food from the local shops nearby, I love the Nasi Kandar!! There are also Chinese restaurants which sell really good food! The Wi-Fi is also reliable. I was able to work online while staying here. All in all, it was amazing! I am so lucky I found this place! I made new friends and experiences!! Thank you Uncle Tony! You are a good person and I wish that more good people discover your place! I will come back :)

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. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is set 1.2 km from 1st Avenue Penang. The beds were soooo comfortable, and they were real beds not bunk beds, the roof was very high, and the sleeping room was clean, for the showers the water was hot,and they were cleaned regularily, and the socialising room looked like a phenomenal pinterest room for me, it has a variety of beautiful collected stuff, woody furniture everywhere, and beautiful peranakan tiles and design, booklets about penang and a collection of books, and a piano, a working one. I enjoyed staying in the socialising room, to the point that I started thinking that I should buy a house similar to that and settle there, The owner was so kind and helpful, and he came regularly to clean the house, and the location of the hostel was perfect close to anything you may ever need. I just loved this house, it felt like a real warm home, not a mere hostel, and I met lots of sweet girls there, what a wonderful experience! I wish there were more only females hostels like this one in every city.

Situated in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach, Aayu Beach St - George Town Penang features air-conditioned accommodation and a shared lounge. The property is set 1.6 km from Penang Times Square, 8.1 km from Straits Quay and 8.5 km from Penang Botanic Gardens. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. It is new and I got a pretty spacious room at a very good price. The owner who I chatted with and the manager were friendly. Though we shared bathrooms there were five of them on the floor, so it is OK. The location is also very good; the hotel is near Chew Getty and Komtar Bus Terminal.
