The room is spacious, with private bathroom, the facilities are basic but everything just nice: all you need are there. Breads provided in the pantry are nice, we love the coffee flavour one. It is quite self-service based but everything is easy to use, staff also very responsive through WhatsApp. Location is great, walkable to the center. Very quiet at night. Very recommend to young people and friends (but might not be suitable for family with kids).

Joey is such a lovely hostess. We felt very comfortable and welcome. She was very helpful and warm. The room (family room) has everything you need. It’s clean and comply. You can even do your laundry in the kitchen. I can highly recommend this accommodation to anyone. :)

Everything is great and the bed is so comfortable. It is by far one of the cleanest Homestay I have stayed in Penang island and the owner is super friendly. Also, the owner has very good taste on the choice of home fragrance so I really enjoy the stay. The gurney plaza is just walking distance so basically it’s very convenient.
