M — Hotel in George Town

Before coming to location, features and amenities, let me just say, after staying in more than 100s of hotels, never have I experienced such a homely environment, where Jern will basically take care of everything. Thats the guy who runs the business. ||||Stayed there 2 nights, great location, edge of the Heritage area, making it much less noisier than other places there. No breakfast though.

The flooring is slightly uneven, shown in the last photo. Our fridge, opened, saw leftover spoiled milk shakes spill out, and we immediately called the front desk. He’d gone out for dinner and hasn’t eaten at 9pm but he still came back to attend to us immediately....

We stayed here for a couple of nights in July with our two young kids and it was FANTASTIC! Jern was an amazing host and full of helpful information about what to see in Penang. We had a King studio with sofa bed set up in the lounge area for the kids, and the room itself was really lovely and quite spacious. You get an electronic access card to the front door so it feels very safe. The street art in only minutes walk away, so great location. We would absolutely...
