24 Kimberley

George Town

24 Kimberley is located in George Town, 700 metres from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar, 1.3 km from Penang Times Square, and 1 km from Wonderfood Museum. The air-conditioned accommodation is 700 metres from 1st Avenue Penang. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Northam Beach is 1.9 km away.

Straits Quay is 7.3 km from the guest house, while Penang Botanic Gardens is 7.3 km away. The nearest airport is Penang International Airport, 14 km from 24 Kimberley. Hands-down one of the most comfortable hostels I’ve ever slept in, especially after I spent my first night in Penang in a much more “active” hostel, my two nights here felt like a blessing and finally restored some sanity for me :) on top of that, the host Bobo is very communicative and helpful to settle me in.

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. The cat attendants ensured I had a pleasant stay. They help me check my room, sleep with me in case I have nightmares and keep me company when it's too hot to go outside. The room is great, toilet is clean, location is good. But nothing beats having cats around you 24/7.

Ren I Tang Heritage Inn

George Town

Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. The breakfast was amazing with fresh local fruit and specialties. The staff was very kind and understanding (especially in light of our late arrival). The location is in the middle of GeorgeTown (and could not be more centrally located with nearby attractions all within walking distance). There's even a decent sized grocery store across the street if needed. The interior of the hotel is a renovated historic shop/warehouse and is full of charm. Highly recommended.
