New and clean heritage houses located in a busy but quiet street. The room is spacious and has all the basic amenities we need. Huge living area and pantry equipped with water filters, toaster, oven, kettles and even a fridge. The WiFi coverage is strong inside the room. We extended a couple more nights here as we are given a list of recommendations on places to explore! The host and staff here are amazing! Especially Desmond who assisted us upon check in and show us around the property

Super clean ,clean air-conditioned ( new clean air-condition) ceiling fan ,big room common clean kitchen with free sugar tea coffee bread and pastrys gift from Aayu team ,our toilet and bathroom was private but as described it was outside of our bedroom (worked perfect for us),the best location you can have in George town is definitely this place ,all places malls, central bus stop, Armenian street ,art street ,china street all are about 10 -20 minutes walk, excellent communication with the responsible of the heritage villa, although the neighbourhood is alive afternoon and night with music restaurants etc the heritage villa is peaceful and relax unless you sleep before 22:00 which there is a little bit of local singing noice ,after 22:00 is silent ,safe neighbourhood ,safe parking outside of the villa for bikes

I had the pleasure of staying at My Guesthouse 109 during my recent trip to Malaysia, and I can honestly say it was probably the best stay I've had in the country. The guesthouse is a paradise for animal lovers, with plenty of cute and cuddly cats, a turtle, and a bunny that made my stay even more special. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The whole place was spotlessly clean, and the shared bathroom was sparkling clean and well-maintained. The stylish decor added to the ambiance of the guesthouse, and it was clear that every detail was well thought out. The location is also very convenient, with many restaurants and the city center within walking distance. Overall, I had a fantastic stay at My Guesthouse 109, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish, and animal-friendly accommodation in Malaysia. I look forward to returning in the future!

The structure is perfect. A minibar could be good but in each floor there is free hot and cold water.

    Great hostel in the midst of town. Rather quiet compared to others. Lovely staff! Talkative if you want, private if needed. They give a lot of tips in and outside Georgetown and help with anything when asked. The whole place is rather large and relaxed. Would recommend!
