My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN

George Town

My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN is located in the bustling George Town. The no-frills accommodation offers guests access to a shared lounge to socialize or simply relax. Free WiFi access is available. I absolutely loved my stay here. I had a very neat and cozy room. Shortly after my check-in, the cats of the house greeted me. They are super cute and fluffy and like to keep company. There are more cats downstairs who love to receive cuddles. The location is really great, the main sights of Georgetown within walking distance. Can highly recommend this stay. :-)

East Indies Mansion 3 stars

George Town

Set in a restored private mansion, East Indies Mansion is located in the heart of UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town. Inspired by Chinese shophouses, the property features a large courtyard and classic wall ornaments. Free WiFi is accessible throughout. Everything. This is not your normal hotel. There is an old style history that is so different to your standard place. The rooms are large, uniquely outfitted, and had a charm that is hard to find. The staff were super polite and helpful. The location is great for enjoying Penang, especially the food. We enjoyed Kapitan, The Spicy Crab, and The Black Kettle the most and all are within easy walking distance. For atmosphere, try the restaurant directly opposite the Mansion. The whole family, including our 8 and 11 year daughters, all want to come back and stay again.

Campbell House 4 stars

George Town

Campbell House is conveniently located a 5-minute drive from Penang Museum and is surrounded by a variety of local shopping and eating options. It provides beautifully designed rooms with a seating area and free Wi-Fi. *Everything is exceptional at Campbell House. *The entire staff was incredibly efficient, friendly, and helpful. For example, Nardya, the owner, took lots of time sitting with me to help me plan my excursions around Penang. *The hotel has been restored magnificently. My room was a beautiful vintage restoration, yet contained all the needed modern amenities. *Breakfast was super with lots of choices. And the hotel's Italian restaurant was outstanding and authentic, well worth visiting for a meal. *They even furnish your mini-fridge with pitchers of cold water and homemade ice tea and a small pitcher of milk for your tea if you desire it. I also enjoyed the little piece of homemade cake they bring you each afternoon for a snack. *Excellent central location in Georgetown. *One of the most pleasant hotel experiences I've enjoyed in a long time. Highly recommended.
