    Room is basic and small but fine for a short stay. Clean and has a window. There’s a shared balcony where you can wash and dry clothes. They also let me store my luggage, which was really helpful. Location is great with easy access to attractions,...

    Located down a lane off a main road in the old part of Georgetown, it is near a busy part of town, but far enough away form the noisy streets to be peaceful and restful. Sunshine House is well set up for backpacker travellers, with a small kitchen...

    Honestly, the best place I've ever stayed at in Penang (and I've been to at least 8 places booked). I love the overall place. Oh, and they have laundry machine for you to use for FREE!!! The best honestly.

    It was exactly what we needed. Centrally located, great value for money. All we wanted was a bed, and we got that. In addition to being very clean, it was also a very quiet location and with no external window, free from outside noise, too.

Company information

Never perfect, always genuine.

Property information

We are an adult-only budget guesthouse. We have a lovely specious roof terrace for you to relax and chill at night. We provide free usage of washing machine with detergent, complimentary coffee and other amenities like microwave oven, filtered water machine, clothes iron and refrigerator. It is mandatory to pay sales tax 8% and tourism tax of MYR10 per room per night in addition to the room charges at our property. We only accept cash payment for the total room charges. We are a guesthouse, not a full fledged hotel. Thus we only welcomed guests who are respectful and understand the way and manners of staying in a guesthouse. Don't expect for hotel-like services when you are paying a budget guesthouse price.

Neighbourhood information

The property is very near to the famous Goddess of Mercy Temple. Little India, Esplanade Fort Cornwallis and Armenian Street and many others murals are within walking distance.
