About
Airbnb in Penang occupies Homestay In Penang, Persiaran Gurney, 10250 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia, a guest house address along the Gurney Drive stretch of the city. The property has earned a 4.3 out of 5 average from 30 reviews, a modest but consistent record among the guests who have stayed. Its position on Persiaran Gurney puts it within George Town rather than out on the island's northern beaches.
Guest houses of this kind offer rooms rather than hotel services, and the Gurney Drive setting gives guests a base near the city's waterfront. George Town's heritage core, the Georgetown Heritage area, lies a short distance away, and the island's other districts, from Batu Ferringhi to Balik Pulau, Penang Hill, Tanjung Bungah and Teluk Bahang, are reachable by road.
First-time visitors should expect a homestay arrangement, with the host's own property as the setting rather than a purpose-built hotel. Malaysian islands are reached mainly by ferry and speedboat from the mainland, with airports on the larger ones, so arrivals by air land at Penang's own airport.
Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and Deepavali are all public holidays in Malaysia, and travel during those periods fills the island's accommodation quickly. Rice and noodles are staples in Malaysia, flavoured with sambal, coconut milk and belacan shrimp paste, and Penang's hawker food is a strong reason to stay in the city rather than on the coast.
