Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. We loved the atmosphere, the staff, the building, the room, the food, basically everything! :) we also traveled with our 1.5 year-old toddler and they also had lots of toys which was a huge success! Also, when we had to leave early to catch our flight, they packed our breakfast, which was very helpful! Thank you again for the amazing experience! :)

Located in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach, Cocoa Mews Cafe and Homestay provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free WiFi and a shared kitchen. The property is around 2 km from Penang Times Square, 8.2 km from Straits Quay and 8.2 km from Penang Botanic Gardens. Penang Hill is 9.4 km from the guest house and Queensbay Mall is 12 km away. The place was amazing!!! We had a great time. The hosts Howie and Amit were AWESOME! They were very kind and helpful suggesting places to go and foods to eat. Every little thing that we might need had been thought of and provided....And then some. Not to forget the fun we had with the cats. Both Garfield and Bobby were a joy to watch. I would visit Malaysia again just to stay at Cocoa Mews. It was not just the best place to stay in Malaysia....It was home.

The host and landlady are very kind too, for examplehelping us in the middle of the night when we locked ourselves out of our room. Have I mentioned the cats already? They are the real reason you should book, you wíll lose time visiting Penang by petting them instead ;)
