The Terraces by Aayu, hotel in George Town

Situated in George Town, 2.2 km from Northam Beach, The Terraces by Aayu features air-conditioned accommodation and a shared lounge.

I only stayed one night before my flight out of Malaysia and I regret that I didn’t stay longer. The house and the vibe is really cool. Kind of modern industrial style. The house seems huge and there are enough chill out places and clean bathrooms. The rooms are very simple and small but for me totally enough. The hosts were very nice and I received several recommendations of activities via what’s app. You get free water, coffee and tea and also traditional bread. There is a small kitchen to use. I really liked the accommodation and the location of it. Would definitely come again!!

    The friendly cat residents made our stay very special! So did the cosy and homely atmosphere of the guesthouse. The staff we met were all friendly and welcoming. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The shared showers and toilets were spotless. The shared kitchen included a hot & cold water dispenser which was most useful. The location is excellent - walking distance to the key sights as well as fantastic restaurants. Nothing not to like!

    This is a good central location. We used Grab taxis all the time which were plentiful and cheap. Lots of eateries within walking distance. There is a bakery and grocery store at the ground floor. The apartment was really spacious, the photos don’t do it justice. It was very clean and provided shower gel, shampoo and toothbrushes. Communication with the owner was excellent. The pool area is lovely. The gym didn’t appear to have air con, which made it quite hard to be in for long ( both of these are on level 11).

    It was easy to deal with the host. The host facilitated check-in and check-out. Even allowed us to leave our luggage since we arrived early. Great location. Gurney Plaza was just across from the apartment. The apartment was very clean and just nice for the five of us. It's definitely a place to come back to. Although located in a busy area, steps were taken to ensure safety of guests with their security protocol.
