Batu Ferringhi
Tony’s Guesthouse at Teluk Bahang in Batu Ferringhi provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a terrace. This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. When staying at the guest house, guests can use private entrance. This place is so lovely, hidden away from all the noise and crowds, giving you relaxing and peaceful stay. The vibe is amazing, staff is super friendly and the place has everything you need. Beds and rooms are very basic but I slept well and throughout the night no problems, felt very comfortable and because of so many trees around, you won't be woken up early. It's definitely a place to come and leave the stress behind. There is a kitchen to use, fridge, and unlimited filtered drinking water. Lots of space with hammocks , chairs and tables for you to chill out or do some computer work (wifi is good and works well most of the time) You can rent bicycles for cheap , otherwise walk to the town centre takes about 15 mins. There s lots of birds around, friendly dogs and cats to pat and some cheeky monkeys can be seen too. You can order cheap breakfast with a couple of basic food items and if you re lucky and it's the right time, Tony's fruit trees will give you some extra organic food for free. Tony even gave me a lift to the bus station on my final day which was super helpful due to heavy luggage. Very much recommend Tony's guesthouse, it won't disappoint

So many nice restaurants around too (but if you're indecisive like me, just message them on WhatsApp, they reply instantly, even to my very random questions... thank you for your patience!). The staff are genuinely the sweetest. Ashan greeted us on the first day with such warmth, and everyone we met was kind, generous, and just really good people. One even showed my dad how to play a local board game - such a sweet moment ❤️✌️ I feel bad I didn’t ask for all your names. I really should have. But to the whole team, thank you so much for making our stay so easy and memorable. You made Penang feel extra special 💕

Definitely good for solo travelers like me (I'm in my 30s) who value both quiet time with a private room but are also looking to socialize too with the shared eating area where we can chat about adventures together. Hosts gave tons of clear information to all the questions I had and gave great recommendations of beach, temples, eateries, etc. Good aircon, 4 big pillows in my bed, I loved it.

Good hostel, nice staff. Nice localisation, close to the city center. Cheap, beds very comfortable. Clean.
The air conditioning worked well. The room was secure. It was quiet at night time. I wanted basic comfortable and clean and this hostel fulfilled that brief. It was helpful to have a convenience store and ATM close by. Location was pretty good and taxis are very cheap so moving around is not a problem.
Great location, walking distance to food pharmacy etc, in the heart of city center. The host Nicole was excellent , super responsive and nice.
Cody is a great host. The room was so clean and huge. Love the sea view from the room. Exactly like in the picture. Very convenient location. Nearby a lot of restaurants and grocery. The house was soundproof, i think.. So quiet. Love the swimming pool. Will repeat my stay here.
Exceptional location. Close to the buzzing main street yet still located in a quiet back-street. Well equipped with necessary amenitites , charming decor. Very helpul host with instant reply to all of our questionions. We have also received a small kind gift for chinese new year! Highly suggested !
Excellent coffee, good food, fresh fruits. Exceptional rooms and atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Great location. Central but quiet place.
I stayed in two guesthouse in penang and I wish I could have stayed here for the whole trip. The place is quiet and clean. I had very good sleep there and the host trusts guest's independence, with clear instructions but not restrictions so I feel like at home. The staff (basically the cats) are so friendly. I could stay there and be with them whole day. The duck meat eatery next door is popular among locals and full of people in the morning. A must try. The free bicycle is a plus.
We absolutely loved our stay at Tony’s guest house. Tony is such a kind and generous host. We loved being out in a more quiet part of Penang, it was beautiful. We really appreciated the fresh fruit and use of bikes.
Good value, comfortable stay with a charming and helpful host and little luxuries like coffee and fruit freely available, as well as a washing machine! The guest house was in a more local village, outside of Georgetown -cheap amd available buses meant travel was no issue!
i loved everything, the owner was the sweetest person he even got me a couple of vegetarian puffs to try and they were amazing! is a great location with the city centre (Chulia street love lane etc.) on walking distance! the hostel is extremely cheap and they have a lovely common area (lounge with little kitchen)
