“It was a great stay in a home away from home”
It was a home away from home. The owner kept in touch and assisted with all we needed, especially fresh towels. The home was so comfortable and washing machine included with outside drying.

The designer guesthouse is so beautifully designed. Clean, cozy, and super comfortable! When we first walked in, everyone went “wow!” because the place looked amazing. The owner is really friendly and even prepared complimentary treats for us, which made our stay extra warm and welcoming. The location is also very convenient, close to all the nice spots in Penang. If I come again with a big group, I’ll definitely recommend this homestay to everyone! 💖

The space is large enough. There are many bathrooms, which are very suitable for lively chatting with family members. The bed is very comfortable. There are also many board games and mahjong where you can play. The space is spacious and comfortable enough to accommodate happy family gatherings. There are sufficient bathrooms for everyone to use respectively. The soft bed allows people to relax and enjoy a wonderful sleep. A variety of board games and mahjong are provided to add more fun to the party. This is an ideal place for sharing happy time with family.

“Nice and cozy for big group.”
The place was tastefully decorated. It was spacious, cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a big group to stay in. There are 3 rooms on the 2nd floor and 1 room on the ground floor. Each with it's own bathroom. There is a tv in the dining/kitchen area and also a big projector tv in the living room. Gurney plaza and paragon are within walking distance (10-15 mins walk) or you can just grab for RM7-10. Check in was easy peasy. Really recommend this place if you are travelling in a big group. The host is also super nice and friendly. Constantly checking on how was everything. So ya....highly recommended.

“Pleasant stay in penang”
It was a very pleasant stay for me and my family who came down to Penang for Thaipusam celebration. The host was very welcoming and helpful in helping us. The house was kept very clean with facilities were very well maintained. I also was very pleased with the host checking on us after we checked in and also asking if was any problem with our stay voluntarily rather than wait for us to complaint which not many host will do. She was very professional and yet very welcoming. The house was kept very clean. My entire family was very pleasant with our stay and will recommend the place for our extended family and friends should they visit Penang.
