Annie's Bed & Breakfast, Penang, Malaysia

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

The family was nice, the place located just about 3 blocks to the main street, just consider it as a stroll for a walk. However, the internet connection it needs more consideration since it will be turn off on midnight, well it's not really important for a holiday, but it's quite essential, after going out, and resting on bed. Last but not least, a little more touch on the breakfast, would be a blast. Alas, the whole package, it's good and recommended to stay there and for repeat-customer too.

Nice to stay with a well adjusted family.Made to feel welcome from the outset. An extremely friendly family giving your stay a home from home atmosphere. I would recommend this Homestay to all potential holidaymakers in Penang.

Annie's home stay is a basic budget home and offers good value. We stayed in an adjacent house to Annie's home which was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was plenty for us, coffee tea toast,jam and fresh fruit. Annie and her family are so welcoming,they cannot do enough to make your stay as pleasant as possible. She has a mind of information regarding the local area. The location is perfect for the beach and near bus stops for further activities.
I would recommend travellers to stop at Annie's if rest and a bit of home life is needed during their travels.

I think, Annie should more pay attention to other guests as when I stayed, another guests just use the toilet but didnt flash and it's so disgusting. I rinse my T Shirt but another guests just throw the tissue into the bucket which i rinse my T shirt in it. it's really annoying and i was very upset at that time. so please make sure that other guests should keep clean the toilet. thx

We had a fantastic stay and extended for a further 4 nights. A great location in batu feringi away fro he hustle and bustle of georgetown but easily accessed via local bus, also close to the national park and beaches. Did have problems finding it initially, but really easy when you get your bearings.
Great night market locally and a variety of places to eat or you can cook your own here, and get cooking tips from Annie.
Really chilled and comfortable accommodation with clean shared facilities including a large lounge and tv. Breakfast is simple but tasty including fruit and local pastries. free tea and coffee all day, Annie will do your washing for rm5 and internet rm2 per hour.
A safe, quiet and friendly place to stay, would reccommend to anyone, all ages.
Definitely stay again if we are in the asia. Annie is fantastic and really helpful

Best for the people, who are looking for the cheapest hotel.

You will not like the breakfast what they are providing. In the web you will be offered for the free internet use. But after going there, you have to pay for the internet use.

Just 12 mins from the sea-beach. Anne is well informing person giving the directions to her customer.

We had a brilliant time at Annie's Guest House. Initially we were booked in for 2 nights which was extended to 5 nights.

Annie and her husband Raj are lovely, friendly, fun people who after our stay we consider as good friends.

My partner and I have been travelling for 12 weeks and Annie's was great to kick back and relax. The house is 5 bedrooms, on our first couple of nights we had the house to ourself. It was great to have a some space as opposed to a hotel room. Also having a big kitchen to do a bit of home cooking!

If ever we come back to Penang, we would definitely stay here again.

Thanks again Annie and Raj

Annie's is not the nicest, cleanest, or best located place to stay; yet, it is a great place to stay because of Annie and her husband. I will probably go back.

If you prefer to stay in a home-from-home instead of the impersonality of a regular hotel then stay at Annie's Homestay. Annie and husband Raj are a very friendly couple who take pride in looking after their guests. Even before I arrived she offered excellent advice regarding air-con buses from Penang Airport to Batu Ferringhi - at only 4MR!
Staying at Annie's is just like being at home with the 'run-of -the -house', including a very comfortable lounge area, cable TV, Wi-fi internet, and breakfast, coffee and snack facilities. Annie is an excellent yet unobtrusive host treating her guests like one of the family and offering much 'local' advice on where to go and what to do - She is also a great cook of Malay/Indian food and always willing to share.
I will certainly be recommending Annie's Homestay to my friends.

Annie's Homestay – This is not a ‘Hostel’ it’s a good size family home where you rent a room and share the good facilities with the other travelers. It’s only a few minutes walk from the main drag of Batu Ferringhi, but remains nice and quite. The Bus service through Batu Ferringhi gives good links to Georgetown to the East and the Main Bus Terminal and Airport dropping south down the Island of Penang. Whilst the bus route to the West give easy access to National Parks and various other attractions.

Annie is a larger than life personality who is able to give lots of advice on local events, venues and eating establishments. A very useful ‘add on’ is her laundry service at very reasonable rates, a vital extra for backpackers.
I would commend Annie’s Homestay for those traveling light and even for those with a small family, this is a safe place.
