It was an absolute pleasure to stay here. Housed in a beautifully restored heritage building, this guesthouse seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort. The rooms were impeccably clean and exuded comfort, with plush beds ensuring a restful night's sleep. The common areas were equally impressive, with stylish decor and well-appointed kitchen and bathrooms. Despite being open for only two weeks, the owner were incredibly helpful and informative, offering valuable tips for exploring the area. Located in the heart of George Town, the guesthouse is conveniently situated within walking distance of numerous restaurants, cafes, and attractions. Overall, my experience at Aayu Melayu was wonderful, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Penang.

Laid back, clean, and full of very sweet and sociable cats! I love the way the space is decorated and the room itself had everything I needed to have a comfortable stay. Other guests were quiet and generally kept to themselves but also were very kind in the brief interactions I had. If you love cats I highly recommend :)

The staff is one of the most amazing and caring that I have seen. Super friendly, attentive and trying to help and make sure you are comfortable. They shared details on what to see in the city, detailed instruction how to reach the room, were very friendly and polite all the time, allow to bring a bag before the check in and leave after check-out, provided earplugs and dental kit. Wifi is good, room is good, location is perfect, close to all the main attractions in Georgetown. Overall, amazing experience and the staff are just the best, thanks a lot! :)
