Tony’s Guesthouse at Teluk Bahang

Firstly, I want to say a huge thank you to Tony, he was very welcoming and made us feel right at home straight away. We usually stay in hotels but trying to save a few pennies we tried his home stay and out of the 5 places we have stayed in Penang, I can comfortably say his place was the best! The value for money is amazing, it’s situated in a very quiet area, the rooms are a decent size with a good bed, mirror and dressing table. The mosquito nets stop all the bugs and the fan worked great. The communal areas are well equipped with cold drinking water, a washing machine and cooking apparatus. There’s plenty of seats to chill under the fans and a great view of the landscape. There’s even a shelter with lots of bikes to choose from which are all free to use, sure they might be a bit rusty and old but they work perfectly fine and it’s much quicker than walking! The WiFi is brand new and is very fast, we watched lots of Netflix and used FaceTime in the evenings with no issues. I’d say the only improvements would be A/C in the rooms, but for RM50 a night, we really couldn’t complain! The toilets might be a bit close with nature, but that’s all part of it right? In summary, me and my partner stayed for 7 nights and might even be back sooner than expected! The atmosphere from Tony and all of the guests, along with the relaxing area and only a 5/10 minute walk to the supermarket and food area, we think you can’t beat Tony’s Guesthouse! To top it off, he even dropped us off to the nearest bus station so we didn’t have to walk with our heavy backpacks in the hot sun! Thank you Tony.
