The units at the guest house are equipped with a seating area. There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with slippers, a hair dryer and free toiletries. At the guest house, all units include bed linen and towels. Great location, and nice, cozy house. The front door patio looks out into a lovely building. The host is super friendly too, I ran into him a few times and he was always really nice!

Howie and Amit were wonderful hosts, spent time talking to us, telling us what we can do around georgetown and penang. Howie sends updates in the Whatsapp group about places we can visit and rent scooters from, which was very helpful. All in all, a wonderful experience. We loved Howie's energy! Thank you so much again. Would definitely stay again.

My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN

George Town

My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN is located in the bustling George Town. The no-frills accommodation offers guests access to a shared lounge to socialize or simply relax. Free WiFi access is available. The cat attendants ensured I had a pleasant stay. They help me check my room, sleep with me in case I have nightmares and keep me company when it's too hot to go outside. The room is great, toilet is clean, location is good. But nothing beats having cats around you 24/7.
