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. Very clean, the bed was comfortable and the wifi worked great for work. There is a water filter and small fridge in the kitchen area. The staff was quite friendly and we're kind enough to allow me to check out late so I didn't have to carry my bags around before I could check into my next stay. The location is fantastic with tons of restaurants and shops nearby. Very walkable area of Georgetown.

Located in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach, Cocoa Mews Cafe and Homestay provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free WiFi and a shared kitchen. The property is around 2 km from Penang Times Square, 8.2 km from Straits Quay and 8.2 km from Penang Botanic Gardens. Penang Hill is 9.4 km from the guest house and Queensbay Mall is 12 km away. What a difference a staff that actually cares can make. This is a small place with only a few rooms that has not been renovated to cram as many beds as possible in tiny box rooms for maximum profit, but a very chill home with a great vibe and staff that make you feel like part of the family. King Arthur was so helpful and sweet during our stay. The free breakfast changed everyday and always some great local food, not just butter/toast/jam (which is also available 24/7) And of course the cats were sweet and nice to play with, and if you let them, they will sleep in your room with you to enjoy the AC. They had a groupchat to let everyone know what events were happening in town and recommendations for food or day trips. And as many would like to know, soft comfortable mattress and hot water!

There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. Every room has a patio with garden views. Definitely the best place I’ve stayed in Penang. The owners are very kind and helpful, it’s a pleasure to chat with them. The house feels like a home. It’s very convenient, quiet and clean. I wish I spent more time there. Hope I will come back!
