What a lovely place to stay in Penang. I absolutely loved the architecture - it has a charming cultural vibe, right in the middle of George Town where you can walk to everything. So many nice restaurants around too (but if you're indecisive like me, just message them on WhatsApp, they reply instantly, even to my very random questions... thank you for your patience!). The staff are genuinely the sweetest. Ashan greeted us on the first day with such warmth, and everyone we met was kind, generous, and just really good people. One even showed my dad how to play a local board game - such a sweet moment ❤️✌️ I feel bad I didn’t ask for all your names. I really should have. But to the whole team, thank you so much for making our stay so easy and memorable. You made Penang feel extra special 💕

We went there for Chinese New Year and got some small presents (🥠)! There was also some small breakfast available and the host helped us with all our questions! The location is the beste and it was the best accommodation in Malaysia! Self check in was super easy and communication was great with the host.

Environment very clean. Sea view is beautiful. Exactly like photo. My in law and family had a good stay. Beginning was worried as this is new listing but lucky it didn't disappoint us.

    The friendly cat residents made our stay very special! So did the cosy and homely atmosphere of the guesthouse. The staff we met were all friendly and welcoming. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The shared showers and toilets were spotless. The shared kitchen included a hot & cold water dispenser which was most useful. The location is excellent - walking distance to the key sights as well as fantastic restaurants. Nothing not to like!

    My friend and I had a lovely stay at Aayu Melayu for 3 nights. Great location to explore Georgetown, close to the heritage centre and countless restaurants and cafes. The building itself is a lovely guesthouse and our room was spotless and bathrooms very clean. Shane and his staff were so helpful both in advance via WhatsApp and once we arrived and they offered lots of great recommendations. Would highly recommend our stay here. Thank you!

    It was easy to deal with the host. The host facilitated check-in and check-out. Even allowed us to leave our luggage since we arrived early. Great location. Gurney Plaza was just across from the apartment. The apartment was very clean and just nice for the five of us. It's definitely a place to come back to. Although located in a busy area, steps were taken to ensure safety of guests with their security protocol.
