Review of minimalist Penang accommodation
This trip, we actually intended to find a lovely, quiet homestay to stay for a night or two. Then we found Urban Designer Collection at Lebuh Melaka. The room was better than expected. It was clean and decorated very cutely. It came in a minimalist blue-purple theme.
We booked through the Trip.com app for 650 baht per night (booked in March). We chose a Queen Room, External Facing Window, Private Separate Bathroom. It was a queen-sized single bed room decorated in a minimalist style. It was so cute that we could scream. Just taking pictures in the room, we got a lot of pictures. There was a small window that was a skylight, not a large one to look at the view. There was a table and chair for those who brought work, or to sit and edit photos or write on an iPad. It was very convenient.
The room had everything: air conditioning, hot water, a hair dryer, shampoo and shower gel, towels. Most importantly, it had a private bathroom. The bed was very soft. The cloud-shaped pillow was very soft. We hugged it the whole time and no one would take it. We slept so well that we almost didn't want to wake up.
In the common area, there was a mini bar with a sink. There were plates, spoons, glasses, and a water filter to get cold water. If you buy food to eat, you can sit here. There is a washing machine, dryer, and iron at the back.
Traveling is easy. Call Grab from the ferry terminal for about 5 minutes. The fare is about 5 ringgit. It may be a bit far from the George Town or Street Art zone, but if you usually call Grab, it's not a problem. The fare is about 5 ringgit.
As for checking in before the travel date, the homestay will send a manual to the email used for booking. Enter the entrance code and walk to receive the room key card in the box according to the room number. There is no reception. It is very suitable for introverts.
Overall, I like it very much. The atmosphere is good. It is suitable for those who want to recharge in a quiet, non-busy way. But if you go with friends, you may have to be a little careful because it is quite quiet. It may be because the walls are thin. But overall, it is very good. If anyone likes peace and quiet, focuses on content for taking pictures, I recommend it.
