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!!

The guesthouse offers a charming and tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal retreat for cat lovers, as it is home to nine delightful cats. Its convenient location near the bus stop (401) and a mall enhances the experience, and delicious street food can be found just a block away, making it easy to explore local flavors.

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.

The staff is one of the most amazing and caring that I have seen. Super friendly, attentive and trying to help and make sure you are comfortable. They shared details on what to see in the city, detailed instruction how to reach the room, were very friendly and polite all the time, allow to bring a bag before the check in and leave after check-out, provided earplugs and dental kit. Wifi is good, room is good, location is perfect, close to all the main attractions in Georgetown. Overall, amazing experience and the staff are just the best, thanks a lot! :)
