Situated in George Town, 2.3 km from Northam Beach and 500 metres from 1st Avenue Penang, My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, free bikes and a shared lounge. It is located less than 1 km from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar and offers private check-in and check-out. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. 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 :)
