I really like the location of the hostel. It's near to the attractions but not noisy. I also love its cleanliness and you get a private room feels even if you book for mixed-dormitory. They always clean the rooms everyday. The facilities are all good. Super satisfied in my stay here. Very easy to self-check in too. I cannot think of anything to complain so far.

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. :-)

Aayu Melayu

George Town

Penang Times Square is 1.5 km from the guest house, while Wonderfood Museum is less than 1 km away. The nearest airport is Penang International Airport, 14 km from Aayu Melayu. We loved staying here because it is a central location and super clean. They gave us free bread in the kitchen, and also toothbrush and toothpaste and earplugs with a cute note in the bedroom! The room had great aircon and the beds were super comfortable. The bathroom was big and clean. We wanted to extend our stay because we enjoyed it but they were understandably booked up! Shane was helpful with assisting us in finding another accommodation, though. Check in was seamless and Shane, the host, went above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay. He was so friendly and gave us an extensive recommendation list of activities and restaurants in the town and also assisted us with recommendations and traveling to our next destination.
