Reviews of Aayu Beach St - George Town Penang

Quiet, clean, comfortable and well appointed Great location just on the edge of everything Friendly and helpful owner

We liked the no contact check-in process and they were really helpful in whatsapp.

It was noisy when people walk around due to the flooring which is really disturbing.

We really like the great equipped kitchen and the water dispenser! Also the shared bathrooms were clean and hot shower water was provided. The communication always took place via WhatsApp and we liked the fact that there were no keys/chip cards needed as there were only door locks with codes. The bed was comfy and the staff friendly. They always checked in on us.

So basically, in the room without a window, there was constantly wall paint cracking down from the walls so all our stuff was full of it! Also the room was kinda smelly and moldy so book the room with the window! It’s much better. Also, the grab location of the hostel is wrong and when you get there it’s kind of hard to find it as the surrounding is quite shabby and old. Maybe provide some bigger signs! :)

Good location, clean and comfortable beds

Paint on the walls was peeling, strange but not an issue

We had a great stay here. It was easy to locate, with clear communication through WhatsApp. We arrived on bicycles and could store them just outside our room, which was fantastic. Location is great, close to lots of restaurants.

The walls are a bit thin, so could hear quite a bit of noise from neighbouring rooms, but nothing a pair of ear plugs can’t fix!

Staff were so friendly and very helpful, and were very easy to contact also. The walls are a bit thin so can be a bit noisy at times but otherwise was great place to stay

Everything. Perfect location and accommodation. Very easy to get in with always supportive staff on both the aspects related to the accommodation and tips on Penang (amazing list of recommendations). The toilets and shared kitchen were always clean. The room spacious and clean (they always arrange the cleaning service for the room the day after). I’d 100% recommend this place

Nothing.

Great value for money. Clean communal areas and rooms. Housekeeping available if needed. Clear and quick responses from owner.

You can hear everything when other people staying there don’t have an inside voice. Not property fault but we were woken up at 5am by inconsiderate people singing Oasis and then arguing with each other for over an hour.

Great value for money standard room. Bed was comfortable. Airconditioning worked well. Never had to wait for the shared bathrooms and the hot water worked well and they were nice and clean. Common area with free bread and coffee/tea facilities. Located in the centre of Georgetown with many attractions located close by. Many restaurants and cafes within walking distance including little India, Armenian street and the Jetty’s. Self check in process was very easy to understand and was sent 24 hours prior to check in. We were able to check in after 10pm. We were allowed access to the communal living area to store our bags after check out as we had a late flight and we were even allowed to hold onto our towels so that we could have a shower and freshen up before the flight - very kind!! Staff were friendly and even had night staff who welcomed us on arrival

Not really the hotel fault but our only issue was that the noise from upstairs travels through the floorboards to the bottom floor and ear plugs are provided to help. Unfortunately we had a very noisy person staying upstairs for the first 2 nights of our stay and she was wearing high heels and walking around late at night and early in the morning even when we asked her to take off her shoes

Great value, lovely stay.

Only negative was the state of the walls, wallpaper hanging off & falling off onto the floor. However great facilities, staff were so helpful, would definitely stay again. Great value for money.

Simply amazing! The location and the staff make this place extraordinary. Would recommend to absolutely everyone.

did not try but excellent location

nothing

Everything is good. Staffs are friendly as well and help accommodate our need.

Staff were very attentive and friendly, left a note on the bed and came to introduce themselves after we checked in. Room was perfect for us and comfy. Showers were good and it was secure and the perfect location close to the center.

Only negative would be the rooms were could get really hot without the aircon but pretty good otherwise

Simple and lovely heritage house

i initially booked another one of their property but they were very kind to messaged me that they deemed its not safe due to renovations and offered me compensation with the option of another property or refund so i booked another one of their listings. staff were very attentive and came by personally to check on me and everything that i need. room was huge and clean. the provided facilities are working well.

i would prefer if you provided house slippers because for me i get a bit sensitive if i can feel a slight grimey feeling of the floor and after a few nights stepping on the floor i can see my feet are kinda dirty even after stepping out just to use the shared bathroom

This place is fantastic—beautiful, convenient, and the shared spaces are excellent.

We stayed in a front-facing bedroom and quickly realised why earplugs were provided (a thoughtful gesture, by the way). Unfortunately, we really needed them. The road noise was loud and constant throughout the night, likely due to poorly sealed windows. On both nights, a waste truck arrived around 3 a.m. and caused quite a disturbance. We’d strongly recommend upgrading to double-glazed windows or fully sealing the existing ones, especially since the current windows don’t offer a view anyway. Improving the sound insulation would make a huge difference for future guests.
