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. The room is spacious, with private bathroom, the facilities are basic but everything just nice: all you need are there. Breads provided in the pantry are nice, we love the coffee flavour one. It is quite self-service based but everything is easy to use, staff also very responsive through WhatsApp. Location is great, walkable to the center. Very quiet at night. Very recommend to young people and friends (but might not be suitable for family with kids).

The staff also allowed late check out due to our flight delay. We had a private bathroom to ourselves, which is a treat. Please note some other rooms may have your bathroom outside of your room. In general, we are very satisfied and happy with our room. Will definitely come back next time!!

Located within 2.4 km of Northam Beach and 600 metres of 1st Avenue Penang, Aayu Melayu - George Town Penang provides rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in George Town. The property features city and inner courtyard views, and is less than 1 km from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, full-day security and luggage storage for guests. It is rare to receive such a warm, hospitable welcome. The hosts received us with activities suggestions, maps of local sights and eateries and were open to accommodating our extra needs. The location was really convenient on a quiet street just a few minutes walk from the main area. Cozy hip coffeeshops are right on the corner as well as places preferred by Georgetown locals. Key destinations such as Armenian street or famous jetis are also very conveniently close. The shared spaces and rooms are beautifully designed with a minimalistic approach. The room and facilities were particularly clean and we would surely stay here again!

Excellent hospitality. These guys should teach how to run a guesthouse. Peanut pancakes and other delicacies in the morning. Ice cubes in the fridge....what a simple thing still felt like luxury after a long day out in the heat.
