Sea Lion by the beach

Its a safe, clean, relaxed and comfy place that feels like home. The owners are very nice and thoughtful and made sure their guests had everything they needed. They give nice recommendations on places to visit and how to get there. The place is convenient: local market nearby everyday selling fresh veggies and serving diverse authentic food, 2 min walk to bus that brings you to attraction places, its close to pharmacy, medical clinic in case of need... I recommend this place to anyone who likes calm and still able to access by bus or Grab main attractions in Penang

Everything was Great, the owners are very nice and kind and great hospitality. Very comfortable feels like being at home. Great Location and def. A lot better than a regular hotel. I couldn’t be happier and if I ever travel to Penang again, this is the only place I will stay no need to search around when you got everything you need right here. Also meet very great people that’s traveling and stay here as well. It’s very humbling and plenty of phenomenal food. I’m very thankful and quite blessed to have been able to stay here.

There isn’t anything to dislike about the property!!!

The owners were very nice to welcome us and gave us useful information on where to eat and what/when to visit. The beach is not far and it's very nice because it's not too busy.

Everything was great.

We had an amazing time at Sea Lion. Not only were the hosts friendly and made us feel at home, but the house itself was very clean, and had everything we needed. Birdy (the resident cat) was also very sweet. The location was nice and quiet, being a bit out of town (but only a 20-40 minute bus ride away, depending on traffic). There were quite a few popular restaurant areas near the house. Great place to stay, would 10/10 recommend!

Everything was good.

Stayed seven days. Everything was perfect.

I enjoyed a very satisfactory quiet stay of four weeks while revovering from cataract surgery. I only went out once or twice a day to get a favorite meal of nasi khandar white rice with a couple of cooked vegetables, perfect for my vegan diet. There was a shared kitchen on the main floor but I did not have to cook anything thanks to the nearby Indian cafe. Sometimes I used the microwave to make instant coffee. The room air conditioner and overhead fan and wifi access were excellent. The owner Alex was very helpful by referring me to a taxi pickup service at 5 am to make an early flight, otherwise I may not have succeeded in calling grab at that hour because the location is far from most tourist activity downtown. City bus 101 was convenient although time consuming for visiting an optometrist in George Town a few times.

I was embarrased by carelessly eating a take away snack in bed which stained a spot of the white sheet with yellow turmeric. The owner allowed me to pay for the sheet at my siggestion. I promised him never to eat in bed again unless maybe a hospital bed. This was a good lesson for me in taking care of others property. Crossing the main street on foot was dangerous, a problem of traffic congestion in crowded Penang. Fortunately the airbnb is far removed from traffic noise. Some outside light filtering into the room through an uncovered transom wondow slightly stressed this light sleeper but I adapted with eye pads This was a problem with room 6 but not room 3. A small curtain could fix this easily

The staff were really nice and welcoming and even brought in our drying laundry out of the rain while we were out :) the place was so clean and the shared bathroom was well maintained during our multi day stay. No complaints!

Quiet Airbnb-type hotel, clean, comfortable.

Extended my stay another three weeks but a bit disappointed in alternate room location on third floor with a shared bathroom having wet floor, need to go buy sandals somewhere.

The house was clean and staff was extremely helpful. It is a bit far from georgetown but easy to reach there by bus. You can also reach national park by bus too so no need to pay big moneys for grab. Highly recommend
