to get started.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room is nice and cosy and everything is very clean. Staying here feels like being invited into an asian home!

Laura, Germany

The place is absolutely perfect ! We loved our stay here and we will stay there again during our next trip to Penang! Quiet and clean bedroom. Beautiful house. Very great hosts.

Audrey, France

The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fresh from the morning market and especially bought for some of your cravings. When we arrived, we mentioned some Penang food and they bought it for us in the morning. The owner kindly offered and took us to the bus stop for an early bus ride. The room is small but decent size.

Joel, China

The hotel was full of character and the staff were very accommodating. Fantastic location would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting George town.

Andy_aus, Australia

Great location and within walking distance from the Georgetown jetty. The location is also within walking distance to the bus terminal at Komtar and within great local food street stalls. The service at Carnarvon house is excellent and the breakfasts they offer are local tasty Malaysian food (they also offer alternatives if you fancy sometime else).

Joyce, Australia

Carnavon house is a more than 100 years old very beautiful, cosy place very close to the center of Georgetown. The rooms are decent in size, were absolutely clean and have modern air con. There are showers with warm water and you can prepare tea or coffee anytime. Terry, the host, is a fantastic, extremely friendly guy, prepared breakfast for us fitting our individual tastes, had some good recommendations where to go and what to see and even drove us to the ferry terminal in the morning.

Oliver, Singapore

Beautiful traditional building. Nice and varied breakfast and kind staff - I was upgraded to a nicer room for free on arrival.

Natalie, United Kingdom

Terry and the rest of the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Terry was wonderful to chat with and had many recommendations on places to go, things to do and where to eat. Breakfast was delicious each morning (especially the roti). The house was beautifully styled with wooden fixtures and plenty of plants. The location was great - close to Armenian street, famous street art, Chinatown and little India. I would highly recommend Carnarvon house to anyone visiting George Town

J, Australia

Beautiful house with chill vibes, Terry is a wonderful host who clearly cares about his guests, enjoyed the home-cooked breakfasts

Viv, Australia

Very nice people, homey and cozy, very clean. Great taste in design. Great breakfast. Ask the owner where you should go to eat in Penang, they know the best place ! Will definitely come back
