Aayu Melayu - George Town Penang

Wonderful colonial stay

Liked I stayed only one night but i loved it. It felt like living in the colonial style home of my aunt in Port Louis, Mauritius in the 90s. I admit the room was small, there is very little space to walk, but, it fits the style, the bed was comfortable, there is AC, WIFI, kitchen, everything. Location wise, you are at 8 minutes walk from the nightmarket, 10 minutes to Jetty and popular wall paintings. I recommend everyone going to Georgetown to experience this kind of stay. You visit Georgetown for it's architecture and uniqueness, a place stuck in time. This stay felt like i took a ship back to the past for 2 days, it was wonderful. Little note our the host, Ram. He was very kind and available at all times. Thank you

Excellent !

Liked Great !! Kind and friendly people run this place. It's clean and has all the right aspects of a great lodging.

Brilliant!!!

Liked 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!

Disliked (Boyfriend of the couple speaking) The only thing was that the walls are thin and not very soundproof therefore if you’re a traveler in a couple or on your honey moon just be mindful! However, the facilities are brilliant and so were the staff who upkeep the property.

Liked 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 host is amazing!! Great place to stay at; spacious and cozy :).

Liked The location was great!

Nicely located but keep in mind the inconvenience of rooms being upstairs shared bathrooms even if you’ve booked a priva

Liked I think to call it “good” is a fair assessment. It is a heritage property so it was quite beautiful. It was also within walking distance of Chulia St., and other points of interest. The staff was pleasant and organized events every day.

Disliked Having said that, the room I got was on the second floor and the staircase was quite narrow. It was extremely difficult to get the luggage up. Moreover, the rooms don’t have attached washrooms so that’s a bit of an inconvenience.
