Homestays in Penang, Malaysia

Nice apartment, very nice unobstructed view of the ocean. Can't really use the balcony for fear of charlie ants flying in. The shower part in the master bedroom was really odd, it went deeper to the ground as if you can use it like a bath tub, but there's no way to block the drain, so what was really the purpose of it? I didn't take the picture unfortunately. I may get 3 bedrooms next, but I'll have to check if the shower situation is the same, cause it's a deal breaker despite all the good stuff the building has to offer. The gym was pretty basic btw, but nice touch for the small towel availability.

We booked a room here because we had a lot of time before our flight in the evening. It’s a 12-15 min drive to the Penang Intl’ Airport. Therefore, it was the perfect location to rest and not have to rush to the airport from the city centre. Staff were also patient and friendly but do note their reception does not operate 24 hours. If you check it anytime before dusk, you’re safe! Otherwise, the unit we stayed in was spacious and clean. It’s a studio apartment with a living area, bathroom, a kitchenette and a loft.

We stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights in a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment, and overall it was a pleasant experience. The unit is spacious, and we really appreciated that the king bedroom could comfortably fit three people — making it suitable even for our group of 6 adults and 1 child. The location is perfect — easy to access and surprisingly no traffic jams in the area. Most Penang attractions and food spots are only about a 10–15-minute drive away, which made exploring really convenient. My coffee place which is constant gardener is not far from here. Anyway, the host was helpful, responsive, and reliable, replying quickly to any questions we had. Both the air conditioning and hot water worked well throughout our stay. Nearby, walking distance from the apartment there is a nice stalls that sell great breakfast with nice malay kuih. On the downside, while basic cleaning was fine, we noticed that some kitchen items like cups and glasses inside the drawers were not properly cleaned, so we had to wash them ourselves. Soap was provided, but given that there’s a cleaning fee, this area could definitely be improved. The towels and pillows were also quite worn out and could use replacement to make the stay more comfortable. Also there is no coway water filter as advertised, so probably it is at other unit but not my unit. The main issue we faced was with the lift during peak hours. On our checkout day, it took an hour waiting that my family ended up taking the stairs from level 23 down to the carpark at level 8! It seems this happens many times and a lot of upset people especially when one of the lifts is used by workers, knowingly many people are stuck Overall, this apartment offers great value for its size, location, and host service, with only minor improvements needed in cleanliness and maintenance and if you can be patient with the waiting lift.

This accommodation is perfect for families and very convenient for independent travelers. It's configured as a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom, which is a huge plus for those not used to the local cuisine, allowing you to easily prepare your own meals – cooking noodles or hotpot, for instance, would be excellent. The property also boasts a swimming pool and offers lovely sea views from the window. However, there are a couple of drawbacks: the windows aren't very soundproof, and the curtains aren't blackout, which makes it hard to sleep in. Despite these minor issues, it's a great choice for independent travelers.

Our stay in July was a truly beautiful memory! The owner was fantastic, and it was so welcoming to communicate in Chinese. The place itself captured the essence of Penang with its charming vintage vibe. The colorful windows filtered light beautifully, casting a dreamy glow, and the cozy atmosphere truly made us feel right at home. If we ever come back to Penang, we will absolutely stay here again!

I had a fantastic stay at this place. The room was spacious and clean and owner place is kind . The room was very comfortable with a great view from the window. It was cleaned daily and had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect, close to all the major attractions.I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the city. 5 out of 5 stars.

Location: The apartment experience this time is excellent. The same building as the Courtyard Hotel is the biggest highlight. You can see the sea view by pushing the window and the view is wide and comfortable. The apartment has complete facilities, the sofa feels soft and comfortable, the height of the selected floor is suitable, and the daily living is convenient and comfortable. Dining: The surrounding area is very convenient Apartment management specifications: professional reception process at the door, gym and other public facilities are also available to meet the basic needs of life and leisure. The fly in the ointment is that the luggage storage point is located in the surrounding supermarkets, the charge is high, the large suitcase is 16 yuan/day, the small suitcase is 8 yuan/day, but the price can be negotiated. The reception staff at the entrance of the apartment was friendly and the communication experience was good. On the whole, this is a very satisfying stay, and the next trip will be preferred here.

Good location and offer free multilevel carpark. This property is still doing renovation so it could be dusty. Our family loves the view most. You can see scenic mountains and sea views from the highest level. The swimming pool is my children's favourite spot. Too bad the sprinkle was not working. Room is spacious and clean, with the price paid nothing to be complained about. The service of front desk could be further improved. I asked about wifi they told me they will send through whatsapp but i didnt receive any text messages throughout the stay. Not that i need it but the hospitality is missing.
