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

The housekeeping staff are especially hospitable and helpful. They went beyond to offer help discovering Penang island, and shared their own curated tourism guides and local recommendations, even current exhibitions. The stay was tidy and easy to check-in and out. I look forward to staying here again.

Location, Security & Staff - Aayu Stewart is one of the best places I've stayed in of all my travels. Location is very strategic, you could simply walk around from all the good places Georgetown has to offer. Give it 3 to 10 minute walk and you're there. It's literally, right in the middle! Security wise, the neighborhood is very safe and quiet. Passcodes from the main door and to the room is very simple to follow. Shane and his family are very welcoming and very efficient. What's amazing about this place is that it is very well-kept but you won't even see the staff going around the house. Meaning to say, you still get your own privacy and the chance to enjoy the place all to yourself. Comfort & Cleanliness - I would have to disagree with one of the comments here that there are bedbugs in this place. There is just none. The bed is very comfortable, sheets are very clean with a very fluffy comforter and pillows. Bath towels and face towels are provided (which is just the best!), bathroom is very clean with hand soaps, bath soaps, and shampoo for you too! Shane and his family even provided a baby cot and a baby tub for my 2 year old daughter (without us asking). And the room smells good as well. Downstairs they have the common area where you will find the kitchen and dining area. Aayu Stewart did a good job on making these areas functional yet so cozy to enjoy with. They have a fridge, a microwave, kettle and dining utensils and a washing machine at your dispense. Humble snacks and drinks (coffee & chocolate drinks) are also provided. Value for Money - I couldn't say more about this place. It has everything we needed as a family of 3, who stayed at their Deluxe King room for 4 comfortable nights. It's amazingly cheap for all the things it has to offer honestly, without compromising on anything. It's just the perfect place to stay be it short-term or long-term.

    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.
