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. This was on of our favourite stays in Penang. The staff are absolutely lovely, the breakfasts great (and changed regularly) and the Inn is full of charm and character. We really enjoyed the bustling location of Little India. There are many excellent places to eat locally and the on-site bistro is great for a drink, meal and people and streetscape watching.

At the guest house, the units have a desk. There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with slippers, a hair dryer and free toiletries. At the guest house, each unit is equipped with bed linen and towels. I had a wonderful stay here. The apartment offers plenty of space, a tasteful and modern design, and very comfortable beds with pillows that are pleasantly thin. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the old town, with everything just steps away. The host was extremely helpful, and communication was smooth and responsive at all times. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Situated in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach and 600 metres from 1st Avenue Penang, Melayu Villa by Aayu - 8 mins walk to Armenian St features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, a garden and a shared lounge. The property features inner courtyard and quiet street views, and is less than 1 km from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar. The guest house has family rooms. I had an amazing stay at Melayu Villa. The room was super clean and spacious, the bed very comfortable, and the location was perfect, so close to all of the main places in Georgetown, including so many amazing restaurants and cafes. The host was so great, super responsive and incredibly helpful with so many golden recommendations for restaurants and local spots. Absolutely recommend this place, just book it!!

A bicycle rental service is available at the guest house.
