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!!

Located 2.5 km from Northam Beach, Heritage Villa by Aayu - 10 mins walk to Armenian St in George Town provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. The property features quiet street views and is 700 metres from 1st Avenue Penang and 800 metres from Wonderfood Museum. The accommodation offers a housekeeping service and a shared lounge for guests. Really lovely place! The room was clean and modern and the hosts were so helpful. They sent us some brilliant guides that we used to see the city, they were responsive to our messages and sent a staff member to say hello when we arrived. There was even some bread provided in the communal area, in case we got hungry. We did, and it was delicious - we think it was coffee flavoured. Do note that the private bathroom is just across the hallway, but the place was lovely and quiet and was in no way an issue at all. Would absolutely recommend this place.

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. This must be the best hostel I stayed at so far. MK is such a calm, lovely and utterly helpful soul. The place feels more like a home than a hostel. Always clean, enough soap/toilet paper, tea and coffee to help yourself. Location is right downtown close to everything and important bus stops. The ladies were all super respectful and nice to each other and it had a great communal spirit. I felt super safe from the get go. Also equipped with tons of maps, recommendations and activities for the area.

It is a very nice aesthetic place to stay as a solo traveller, most importantly, very cool place to connect with people around the world, mostly of your age group. The staff member was kind enough to take my bag up the stairs in front of my bed. There is a kitchen at the rooftop, it gives really coay vibes. I loved it! Every food market is close to this place, I walked two minutes straight from the hotel and ended up on a falafel began wrap cafe at 1 am. The other time, I went to a place called little india, the food was really good there as well.
