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. Phenomenal attention to detail in maintaining Heritage, holding space, and making guests feel taken care of. I will be back!

There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with slippers, a hair dryer and free toiletries. At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels.

Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar is less than 1 km from the guest house, while Penang Times Square is a 18-minute walk away. Penang International Airport is 14 km from the property. Lovely renovated property in an excellent location - near the main tourist areas but in an area retaining a lot of local character. The self check-in and doors that use a PIN code instead of a card were really handy.

A bicycle rental service is available at the guest house. Very clean and perfect location! They’d put together a personalised travel guide including places to eat, conveniences and created a two day itinerary for exploring Georgetown which was very helpful. They also let us check out 3 hours late for no extra charge!

Offering a garden and garden view, Nature Fruit Farm - Private Estate is located in Balik Pulau, 23 km from Penang Hill and 23 km from Taman Rimba Teluk Bahang. The property features mountain and river views, and is 18 km from Queensbay Mall. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. This place was so peaceful. It felt super secluded, but still with the comforts of being near beach and city, (and for example easy to order grab to). It was the perfect getaway between all the different fruit. We used the common areas a lot, as they were really nice to relax in, but our chalet was also really nice and comfortable. We used the bikes provided to take a trip through the rice paddies to the beach. We walked the hike up to the Thai restaurant with the great view. But we mostly relaxed on the beautiful property, reading, chilling, playing games. The hosts are really kind and it was nothing but a pleasure to stay with them. Really helpful and fun people.

Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located less than 1 km from 1st Avenue Penang. I come to George Town for the second time, I will choose this hotel again. The location is very good and brand new. It's really comfortable to stay in the public area. 😌 There are fewer rooms in this store. It's not so noisy. I'm very lucky to be the fifth resident of nio. The toilet and bathroom are separated. The room is warmly arranged. The public area will be equipped with IKEA cups. The three-in-one will be replenished in time every day. Coffee and tea. There are also tableware and microwave ovens. Water dispensers and refrigerators are available in the public area. knowing that I was going to leave the george town the next day, noi also specially asked me to take some coffee. Noi is super good. 🥹🥹The hotel is also great!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
