About Old Penang GuestHouse
Internet Access Breakfast Included 24 hour reception
Old Penang GuestHouse is a beautifully restored pre-war building in the historic city of Penang, Malaysia. Conveniently located in the heart of Georgetown, a UNESCO world heritage site, the guesthouse is a stone's throw from Penang's major historical landmarks and tourist attractions.
The building is believed to have been constructed more than 80 years ago but still retains much of its old world charm. It is especially important as an example of a very early shophouse prototype. From the original mosaic-tiled flooring, intricate artwork, inner courtyard and to wooden shuttered windows, every aspect echoes the history of the region, and offers a beguiling journey through this enchanting heritage.
It is a best accommodation for traveler who seeking for budget heritage stays. The design integrates old with new, modern with historic, ensuring that the total experience is one that is authentic, honoring the past while bringing every modern convenience to bear.
All our rooms are air-conditioned, spacious, clean and thoughtfully furnished with modern day amenities. The room is fitted with authentic antique lamps, mirror and decorated with picture by renowned local artist.
The ground floor is a spacious lounge area with central courtyards which sunlight is come into. You can watch movie, surf internet, drive into book or enjoy tea break here.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Positives, Clean Friendly, Cheap, (Free use of Internet ,aircon in rooms )
Negatives , I only saw 2 toilets available in the whole hostel, so there can be waiting. The biggest problem can be noise . It is a wooden structure so you can hear people walking around late at night on the 2nd floor , and the walls are just a plaster board so you can hear talking etc in the rooms next to you.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I stayed for a night at the Old Penang Guesthouse and it was one of the memorable experiences of my travel in Malaysia.
The little guesthouse is an interesting, old place with a lot of guests from all over the world so it is a great place for interaction. The rooms are basic but comfortable. I stayed in Room 10 which had wooden floors and ceiling to floor shutters overlooking the street which was really lovely.
It felt like being in a school hostel as there were strict rules to follow such as no shoes to be worn upstairs, make your own breakfast and clean up your breakfast table yourself etc. but the place has a lot of character that makes it worthwhile to stay there despite the rules.
