This is a nice cosy homestay. When we arrived, Mr Koh gave us the option of the Hello Kitty without bathroom or Totoro room with bathroom attached. I preferred the room with bathroom but in the end, we chose the Hello Kitty theme room as my 5yr old daughter preferred that. To our surprise, Mr Koh was kind enough to let us use the vacant Totoro room's bathroom next door instead of us having to go downstairs to the common bathroom. Overall, I would say the hotel covers all the basic needs for a comfortable stay.

Background
Claim businessWelcome to the Penang Old House Homestay, located in one of the famous tourist destinations in Malaysia - Penang Island, formally known as 'Prince of Wales' Island. Penang was part of the Malay sultanate of Kedah until 1786, when Captain Francis Light built a fort at the site of present-day Georgetown and managed to get the island ceded to the British East India Company. The island, along with Malacca and Singapore, was one of the three British Straits Settlements. Last time Penang was a British colony island, now Penang is renowned as a place with plenty of famous gourmet dishes, most picturesque and romantic city in South East Asia..... Penang Island is located at the north-western coast of Malaysia.
This bustling metropolis is a reflection of the unique Eastern and Western culture. Be it lush tropical gardens or ornately designed temples and unique heritage buildings such as the classic British-style villas and Chinese-style shop houses, Penang will give you a glimpse into a world where nature, tradition and history blend into a rich cultural tapestry.

I stayed here for a couple night during my second trip to Penang. The hotel is located in one of the most famous street in Georgetown, you can easily roam around the street and have some drinks or food. They offer a really affordable price, the breakfast is pretty good, the room and bathrooms are clean, and they provide free water and towel for all guests.
One thing that really bothered me was the noise the other guest upstairs made when walking, they have wood flooring upstairs, so bring some headphone or earbuds to help you sleep better.
