My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN

George Town

My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN is located in the bustling George Town. The no-frills accommodation offers guests access to a shared lounge to socialize or simply relax. Free WiFi access is available. I absolutely loved my stay here. I had a very neat and cozy room. Shortly after my check-in, the cats of the house greeted me. They are super cute and fluffy and like to keep company. There are more cats downstairs who love to receive cuddles. The location is really great, the main sights of Georgetown within walking distance. Can highly recommend this stay. :-)

East Indies Mansion 3 stars

George Town

Set in a restored private mansion, East Indies Mansion is located in the heart of UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town. Inspired by Chinese shophouses, the property features a large courtyard and classic wall ornaments. Free WiFi is accessible throughout. Everything. This is not your normal hotel. There is an old style history that is so different to your standard place. The rooms are large, uniquely outfitted, and had a charm that is hard to find. The staff were super polite and helpful. The location is great for enjoying Penang, especially the food. We enjoyed Kapitan, The Spicy Crab, and The Black Kettle the most and all are within easy walking distance. For atmosphere, try the restaurant directly opposite the Mansion. The whole family, including our 8 and 11 year daughters, all want to come back and stay again.
