“Brilliant!!!”
The property is in a great location in the centre of George Town so everywhere is walkable distance. Our room was big and great value for money, alongside the privilege of AC in such a hot country. The hosts were accommodating and gave recommendations on where to go and where to eat , if we had any issues they were there in no time and very responsive!

Had a really nice stay at Aayu Melayu Homestay 🤍 The price was affordable but they still provided everything I needed, so it was super worth it. Even though the bathroom was shared, it honestly wasn’t inconvenient at all and the place was comfortable throughout my stay. Special thanks to Hariz as well for being so friendly, efficient and always replying really quickly whenever I needed help 😭 Made the whole experience very smooth and easy. Would definitely stay here again hehe

The location is absolutely perfect! It was very easy to walk around the centre of Georgetown and make a occasional stop at the accommodation for freshing up or dropping things off. The staff is also very helpful, and they have a google maps link ready with all the hotspots and recommended dining areas. Room was clean, and though there was no window I did not miss it.

“Everything you want in a budget hotel.”
For what they charge, they more than delivered. A nice clean room with high ceilings, reliable showers, and secure. The staff member gave me some very helpful advice on the town and where to go next. What more can you ask for?
