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've been to Penang several times now, and Tony's Guesthouse has quickly become my absolute favorite place to stay. I will always keep coming back here 😁 The atmosphere is so quiet, relaxed, and peaceful – a perfect retreat away from the hustle and bustle of George town. It's ideally located near the national park, along with other amazing non-city attractions, making it a great base for exploring the more serene side of the island. What really makes this place stand out are the hosts. They are incredibly lovely, welcoming, and truly go above and beyond to ensure you have an unforgettable stay. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. They offer thoughtful touches and provide everything you need to make your experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. From local tips to extra amenities, they have thought of it all. I can't recommend Tony's Guesthouse enough – it’s a perfect blend of tranquility, convenience, and top-notch service. If you're looking for a peaceful place away from the city... This is the place to go!

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. Had the most amazing time at this guest house! Location is ideal, close to everything from night markets, Love Lane if you want to party, Little India... everything is a short walk away! But the house itself is tucked away in a nice quiet street, with a cafe just accross the road. The place itself is gorgeous, and beautifully taken care of by Tomoko who comes around everyday! Mk is a fantastic host and I could not recommend enough staying at one of his accomodations. Ask him for advice if you need to know anything, he's super helpful. Thanks again 🤗

Located within 1.7 km of Northam Beach and 800 metres of Wonderfood Museum, Some Place Else 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 situated 1.1 km from 1st Avenue Penang. I love this hostel! They have open mic nights on Thursdays that were really fun and they also did a few other events like movie and game nights. I met some of the coolest people at this place and we ended up traveling together for a while. Can’t recommend this place enough — especially for solo travelers. They also keep the place really clean and are right next to the shopping/bar/restaurant area.
