24 Kimberley

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. 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.

La Belle Maison 12 @ Gurney Kelawai/Pulau Tikus/Georgetown

George Town

Situated within 1.8 km of Northam Beach and 2.9 km of Penang Botanic Gardens in George Town, La Belle Maison 12 @ Gurney Kelawai/Pulau Tikus/Georgetown offers accommodation with seating area. The property is around 3.5 km from Straits Quay, 4.2 km from Penang Times Square and 4.6 km from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar. The homestay features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. The location is superbly close to where we needed to go. It's so close to the 2 malls that you can literally spot the house from across the road. The host Ms Kelly was very friendly, kind and accommodating. We were allowed to check in early and check out late which was very helpful in our situation. The room: We rented the deluxe room with bathroom and the room is exactly as pictured. In fact, we personally feel like the picture doesn't do the room its justice because they look even better in person, which is very rare for properties these days. The host is very meticulous about the property and its cleanliness, and in return we also made sure we kept the property as neat and clean as we possibly can. We felt very well taken care of because the host made sure we were comfortable with our stay and even provided us with a rice cooker for the rest of our stay. This property really makes you feel at home and I cannot recommend this highly enough. For anyone looking for a nice, clean, cosy stay close to Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon, this is your place! I can 1000% guarantee that you will fall in love with this property within 5 mins of checking in 😊 We stayed from 31st March till 7th April. We will be returning for sure 😊 Ms. Kelly, thank you so much for hosting us. Please look forward to our next booking 😊😊🫶🫶
