Tony’s Guesthouse at Teluk Bahang in Batu Ferringhi provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a terrace. This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. When staying at the guest house, guests can use private entrance. Tony's guest house is a very nice place to stay! It is in a very calm place, no cars rushing around, just peace and harmony! :) The room I stayed in was basic, small but clean and nice with everything I needed in it. I am so glad I've booked a room with AC as it was very hot during the day and night. The shared bathroom and showers are simple but good. There is a common area-kitchen-dining-chill place which is absolutely cosy and awesome! Here you can cook your own meals, meet other guests ir just chill in the garden, hammocks. The most important - Tony is a very very nice and super helpful person, he helps with everything you need. He has even made the lists of activities, restaurants he recommends in the area for his guests! You can also order simple breakfast for really cheap and the meals are very tasty! Moreover, Tony is a super nice guy, very friendly and helpful in all the means!

Located in George Town, 2.2 km from Northam Beach, Aayu Church St - 7 mins to Esplanade, George Town provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. The property features city views and is 400 metres from Wonderfood Museum and 1.5 km from 1st Avenue Penang. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a housekeeping service for guests. 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.

Location is great- walking distance to everything I wanted to see, and lots of food in the area. There are notes from other guests hung up, as well as a table of items up for grabs if you need to borrow something. Overall, very homey, would definitly stay again!
