I had an amazing stay at Melayu Villa. The room was super clean and spacious, the bed very comfortable, and the location was perfect, so close to all of the main places in Georgetown, including so many amazing restaurants and cafes. The host was so great, super responsive and incredibly helpful with so many golden recommendations for restaurants and local spots. Absolutely recommend this place, just book it!!

Laid back, clean, and full of very sweet and sociable cats! I love the way the space is decorated and the room itself had everything I needed to have a comfortable stay. Other guests were quiet and generally kept to themselves but also were very kind in the brief interactions I had. If you love cats I highly recommend :)

It’s a new accommodation in town but doesn’t have the freshly renovated smell at all! The bed is very comfy and I slept like a baby throughout the night. It’s a shared bathroom hotel but the hotel only accommodates dozen of people at the same time thus they are cleaned and well maintained. Very close to the hot tourist spots and restaurants. A cleaner is here to keep the whole place hygienic. Not to mention the indoor plants make the space really nice and green. Would love to stay here again.
