We are in luck because the property is new! We chose to stay here because we wanted to experience how is it feels like staying in a local heritage houses in Penang. We love how the owner transformed the prewar shophouses into modern living heritage guesthouse while preserve the authenticity vibes of the property. Excellent service by the staff and the self check in was so smooth. We enjoyed our stay very much, Thank you very much

The housekeeping staff are especially hospitable and helpful. They went beyond to offer help discovering Penang island, and shared their own curated tourism guides and local recommendations, even current exhibitions. The stay was tidy and easy to check-in and out. I look forward to staying here again.

It's like a whole resort in one building. We booked this last minute and were surprised how much we loved it. Apartment is very big with plenty of space and a nice view of city at night. Beds were comfy, clean with good air con & fans. The TV area was good and finally a comfy couch for a movie night. There were even pods to wash our clothes that dried easily in the heat overnight. Everything you could need in the kitchen too. The floor that has the pool etc is amazing. 1 large but quieter pool in the shade by the gym but the opposite side as a second infinity pool that's very beautiful with a view of the sea. There is a coffee, smoothie and snack vending as well as a little takeaway vending machine for noodles and dumplings etc. You could stay here all day without needing to leave. We did pop in the roof to look at the views and have a peak. Was absolutely deserted and peaceful. We can't really comment on the lifts. We travelled during Ramadan which is apparently a super quiet time for travel. Lifts were fine for us but no idea about the rest of the year. (I only have a picture of one of the second bedroom. My sister stayed in the master en suite which was bigger and a bit nicer than my picture)

Location, Security & Staff - Aayu Stewart is one of the best places I've stayed in of all my travels. Location is very strategic, you could simply walk around from all the good places Georgetown has to offer. Give it 3 to 10 minute walk and you're there. It's literally, right in the middle! Security wise, the neighborhood is very safe and quiet. Passcodes from the main door and to the room is very simple to follow. Shane and his family are very welcoming and very efficient. What's amazing about this place is that it is very well-kept but you won't even see the staff going around the house. Meaning to say, you still get your own privacy and the chance to enjoy the place all to yourself. Comfort & Cleanliness - I would have to disagree with one of the comments here that there are bedbugs in this place. There is just none. The bed is very comfortable, sheets are very clean with a very fluffy comforter and pillows. Bath towels and face towels are provided (which is just the best!), bathroom is very clean with hand soaps, bath soaps, and shampoo for you too! Shane and his family even provided a baby cot and a baby tub for my 2 year old daughter (without us asking). And the room smells good as well. Downstairs they have the common area where you will find the kitchen and dining area. Aayu Stewart did a good job on making these areas functional yet so cozy to enjoy with. They have a fridge, a microwave, kettle and dining utensils and a washing machine at your dispense. Humble snacks and drinks (coffee & chocolate drinks) are also provided. Value for Money - I couldn't say more about this place. It has everything we needed as a family of 3, who stayed at their Deluxe King room for 4 comfortable nights. It's amazingly cheap for all the things it has to offer honestly, without compromising on anything. It's just the perfect place to stay be it short-term or long-term.

It's a really nice and quiet place located central to the bus station, the old town and a big mal. If you're nice to the cats, they'll come into your room. 😊

I had a wonderful stay at this new hotel. The room was clean, comfy, and well-equipped with everything I needed — air-conditioning, hot shower, free Wi-Fi. The bed was super comfortable, and I slept so well! The decoration here has a strong Nyonya vibe.

De Village Lodge

The staff responsible for the booking. - Yvonne Lam - was absolutely accommodating and did her best to male the stay as pleasant as possible. Balik Pulau isn't the heart of Penang tourism but if one is looking for an off-the-beaten track experience in Penang, then this is it. Super rustic, it is a wonderful place to hike, bike and explore the plantations and the hills. Located in the heart of Balik Pulau, de Village is a no-frills homestay that meets the needs of an adventurer. With two food courts right outside and an host of other eateries along the main road, this is a good jumping point to explore the area. A 24 hour self-service laundromat across the main road makes it convenient for those travelling light. A convenience store next to the homestay is great if you need to resupply.
