It is located 2.4 km from Northam Beach and features a lift. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

Loved the cozy hostel like vibe of the place. You'd actually get to meet people here as laundry, kitchen and bathroom are shared facilities. If you are looking for a quaint little place in a budget you can't go wrong with Wayton's. The shared facilities mentioned above are maintained exceptionally well and are serviced properly so, you don't have to worry about the whole "common/sharing" thing.

    I love this place a lot. It feels like home. The host was friendly too. The place was so squeaky clean. He allowed me to park my car inside the compound. The password for the lock and keys are easy to access and check~out. Will definitely stay there again next time I go Penang.

    I was very lucky to find this place as l arrived in George Town on a weekend when everything was fully booked. Mr. Koh made me most welcome and even came to collect me on his motor-bike after l had caught the wrong bus. The hostel was clean, quiet and comfortable and very good value for money. An added bonus was that it is situated in the midst of a marvellous outdoor food centre, where you can try all sorts of marvellous Penang dishes.
