The location, the service, the room, everything was just great. This is our second time going to the Only BNB and we look forward to staying here for our future visits to Penang.

Our stay at the Deluxe Seaview Suite Twin Bed by The Only Bnb was wonderful. The room was spacious and offered great views of the city that we really enjoyed. The staff were very friendly and helpful, making us feel at ease during our stay. The huge pool was a highlight, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. We also appreciated the option for housekeeping on request, giving us flexibility and privacy. The location is fantastic, with restaurants nearby ranging from high-end to more casual, local options. There are also food markets just a 5-minute walk away, which was perfect for grabbing local meals/snacks and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. Overall: What started as a 3-day stay turned into 12 days because we enjoyed it so much. The combination of great amenities, helpful staff, and beautiful views made for a very comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, hassle-free getaway.

A number of things, not necessarily in order of annoyance: 1) The stated "sea view", while factually correct, is a distant view of the sea beyond the Gurney area, interspersed with a few ugly condo complexes. Caveat emptor! 2) While the kitchen has the expected appliances (fridge/stove/oven, etc.) there were only cups, no glasses to drink from. Table knives were absent, although the staff sent some up when requested. A pot and wok pan were available, but no ovenware, and no utensils to cook with (e.g. no spoons, ladels, spatula, etc.). Most annoyingly, no kitchen towels, neither paper nor linen, were available. When we asked for a kitchen towel we were told that it "was not OnlyBNB policy" to provide one. Pretty basic requirement for a 6 night stay in a self catering flat, one would think. 3) The unit, located on the 11th floor, was quite noisy, particularly at night, with the sounds of motorbikes and speakers coming up from the main road area. Not a showstopper, but just pointing it out, this is urban Penang after all. 4) Curiously, toilet paper appeared to be rationed, with two small rolls allocated on arrival. While the staff will helpfully despatch a "runner" to deliver replacenent rolls, it begs the question of why this has to be done on a daily basis.

The best thing we liked about the apartment was its location in Tanjong Tokong, a central location between Georgetown & Batu Ferringhi, with easy access to Gurney and southbound roads to Gelugor & Bayan Lepas. There are ample restaurant/foodcourt/fastfood/bar areas within walking distance of the condo, as well as two supermarkets nearby. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable, with good shower, bathroom and washing machine/dryer. The reception staff were very attentive, helpful and responsive. The car parking provided was excellent, with easy access to/from the main road. There is a nice pool facility as well.

The flush mechanism of the toilet was very slow so it took some time after flushing to reload. So it was a bit loud afterwards (2 minutes tops). One of the three lifts was broken so it took some time to get down to the 1st floor.

We loved the room. It was really spacious and had all the things you might need. The location is great to go in the city center of Georgetown or drive to the northwest coast. The bed is the best part of the room, the sheets are excellent. The best sheets and bed I had in Malaysia.

First of all they don’t tell you exactly the deposit amount you need to pay. I was not satisfied after booking they told me to prepare RM430 as deposit, that too in cash! 200- security deposit, 200- pet deposit and 30- pet cleaning fee. Second, the lifts here are the worst!!!! There are over 30 floors but only 2 lifts plus one lift bomba and they are super super slow like you can wait a good half an hour for the lift and still don’t get one! The swimming pool is huge but there were a lot of crows drinking from the waters.

The place was clean, superb view and in a strategic location. Few minutes drive only to the beach and very easy to get food even if order through Grab.

We had a water-dripping issue with the living room’s air conditioning during 1st night. And the runner visited on the 2nd day but it wasn’t a technician so we could not verify with the issue.

The location is strategically in the middle of Batu Feringghi and the city center around Beach street. Overall, the interior design of the apartment is pretty modern and comfortable with the bed arrangement. Of course, pet-friendly make it awesome!

Not much point to mention on the dislike section as overall is quite good, just nearby does not have enough parking lot for visitors and thus not that convinence.

The location is suitable and easy acess to nearby restaurant, market, small malls, cozy place that suitable for family or couple to stay, also have facilities that could be use like pool, gym room. Overall quite good.

Soulless! No personal touch . Basic’s supplied. No bottle opener , not enough towels , not enough electrical sockets. The pool is dated and a line of scum around the waterline. Place needs maintaining !! Disappointing tbh.

Location was good and reception lady lovely
