Located within 2.1 km of Northam Beach and 600 metres of Wonderfood Museum, Homs Female Hostel provides rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in George Town. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is set 1.2 km from 1st Avenue Penang. The atmosphere was wonderful: really calm, relaxed, and quiet. At night, the area is very quiet and it's easy to rest. There's a comfortable sitting area, and a basic kitchen with a fridge and water and kettle for making tea and coffee. The area is great for walking around colonial George Town. Everything is in easy walking distance, and lots of food options are nearby. MK is a great host.
