This place was beyond my expectations ! The room was very clean and the facilities were new and well maintained. The bed was very confortable. I also appreciated the location which was close to the main attractions of George Town, you can reach the street art figures on a walking distance. The room have also a view on the sea and jetties, but not noisy at all. There is also too many cute cafes around the corner !

We are in luck because the property is new! We chose to stay here because we wanted to experience how is it feels like staying in a local heritage houses in Penang. We love how the owner transformed the prewar shophouses into modern living heritage guesthouse while preserve the authenticity vibes of the property. Excellent service by the staff and the self check in was so smooth. We enjoyed our stay very much, Thank you very much

Lovely renovated property in an excellent location - near the main tourist areas but in an area retaining a lot of local character. The self check-in and doors that use a PIN code instead of a card were really handy.

This guest house is a perfect place to stay when in Georgetown. The location is great, only a short walk from the busy area, bus stops and other landmarks in the town. There are lots of lovely cafes and restaurants in close proximity. Shane and his wife are brilliant hosts. They were so welcoming and shared some great recommendations of things to do and places to eat. This house has great facilities, a big common kitchen area where there was fresh bread in the morning for the guests was a peak. Our room was comfortable and very clean. Check in was super easy. I definitely recommend this property if you are visiting Penang!

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.
