Cocoa Mews Cafe and Homestay

Liked What we liked most was the host's kindness and generosity. Arthur ("the King") helped us with everything we needed and more. The location is more than perfect; you can walk to the most interesting spots. At the hostel, they offered us a free breakfast (a good, hearty one) for the next morning, and not only that—they even packed up the leftovers for us in a container because they knew we had a long journey ahead. There is a table in the entrance with lotions, earplugs, face masks, and more—all for guests to share. The kitchen is also stocked with fruit, noodles, cookies, coffee, and tea for guests to use whenever they like. Honestly, I had never seen a hostel this generous—one that doesn't charge you for the tiniest little thing. The rooms also feature air conditioning and a comfortable bed. It is one of the best hostels we have ever stayed in.

Loved it

Liked Amazing service, the staff is kind and wants you to try the local stuff. They go out of their way to make your stay in georgetown as pleasant as possible. My favourite place of the trip!

Liked Super nice guys, good location, nice social environment, the cats!

Disliked Street side rooms are noisy

Friendly Homestay in the heart of Georgetown and an experience to remember.

Liked Very friendly. Staff went above and beyond to insure guests were well informed on area and supplied breakfast and snacks. Resident cats were a bonus to make the stay feel homely.

Disliked Lots of stairs but wasn’t a big issue for us.

Liked Amazing hosts, gave great recommendations and the best breakfasts I’ve had out of any Homestay/hotel/hostel

Staying at Cocoa Mews honestly feels a bit like arriving at a family member's home.

Liked Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. Malaysian people already impressed us with their kindness during our trip, and the people here represent that hospitality perfectly. You have access to an equipped kitchen, with food and drinks available throughout the day, which makes the place feel even more like home. And the breakfasts... we could probably write an entire review just about them. Every morning was a new surprise and honestly a little culinary adventure on its own. So generous and so good! We absolutely loved George Town, but staying here was definitely a big part of why we enjoyed it so much. Thank you so much for welcoming us the way you did and for showing us such a beautiful side of Malaysia. We won't forget this place!
