Guest Reviews

• ANQI (10/5): -
• Sarra (1/5): Horrible et dangereux - Rien j’ai changé d’hôtel Je déconseille fortement cet hébergement. L’adresse indiquée sur Booking ne correspond pas à la réalité. Une autre localisation a été envoyée après réservation via WhatsApp, à quelques minutes de la première. Sur place, les conditions d’accès à la chambre ne sont pas standards : absence de serrure classique, porte sécurisée par un cadenas externe fourni par l’établissement. La première chambre présentait un problème d’ouverture nécessitant l’intervention du personnel. Dans la seconde chambre, un incident sérieux s’est produit : après fermeture avec le cadenas fourni, celui-ci s’est bloqué, empêchant une sortie normale pendant un certain temps. Ces conditions ont rendu le séjour difficile et non conforme à une prestation hôtelière standard. Une demande d’annulation et de remboursement a été faite sur place, puis refusée. 👉 À vérifier attentivement avant toute réservation.
• Jouke Kevelam (10/5): Super - De locatie was prachtig, het ligt midden in het centrum van George Town dus alle bezienswaardigheden in de stad waren op loopafstand. De host was super super aardig en behulpzaam. En het verblijf was heel mooi en schoon.
• Stefan (10/5): Traditional house with central location - Lovely, spacious, central and traditional house. Perhaps the AC was not powerful enough for the size of the room.
• Imelda (10/5): Amazing stay in the heart of Penang, George Town. - We had a great stay at Aayu Chowrasta and would definitely recommend it, especially for couples who enjoy being right in the middle of the action. The location is unbeatable. It is literally by Chowrasta Market, which makes it perfect if you want to explore the heart of Penang’s food scene in George Town. The staff was very kind, and we were a bit confused about how to get in at first, but Hariz (from the property management team) kindly guided us when we arrived at the property. We even had a staff member check in with us to make sure everything was okay and to see if there was anything else we needed, which we really appreciated. The place itself was very clean and well taken care of, which made our stay comfortable from start to finish. We also really appreciated how spacious it was. It did not feel cramped at all, and the large bed was a big plus for us. Another thing we loved was that it had all the essential amenities. Having a microwave, fridge, hair dryer, and air conditioning made a huge difference, especially in Penang’s heat. The air con worked very well, which we found especially important after a long day out. Overall, it is a clean, spacious, and very well-located place with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We would happily stay here again. None.
• girovaga0 (10/5): Nice staying in Georgetown and great staff - The room is really like in the picture (very spacious, well decorated and equipped). Special credit to the staff who was extremely helpful and caring (thanks Hariz). Even if I never saw him because it's a self check-in, he has been very responding to my needs. Very interesting location in a market area but still very peaceful at night You cannot really cook as there is no stove (I realise that having one might include some risks, but it could be placed in the external area)
• Olga (8/5): -
• Sabran Asma'i (10/5): - Its perfect
• Matthias (10/5): Gutes Appartment mit tollem Style in bester Penang Lage - - tolle Lage in der schönaten Areas Penangs - easy Self-Checking - geräumiges Appartment in schönem Design - alles war zu ubserer Zufriedenheit !
• Gregor Von Guenther (9/5): - We had a great stay at Aayu. The location is perfect so you can walk nearly everything in the old town and it's quiet for sleeping. They even made an early check in possible.
• Tony (9/5): A good experience with good hospitality and response from the staff. Thanks especially to Hariz for such a great help du - A very decent building based from peranakan style The bathroom is a bit far from our room but cannot really complain with the price you pay.
• Galina (8/5): Für ein paar Tage war es okay. - Die Größe von dem Zimmer war sehr passend für uns mit kleinem Kind. Es war leider nicht so sauber wie wir es uns gewünscht hätten. Vor allem im Badezimmer waren überall Kleinigkeiten die man hätte sauber machen können. Unterm Bett war viel Staub und die Farbe/ Wand-Stein Brösel fallen auf den Boden und auch auf unsere Sachen und Kleidung. War nicht so schön und nervig.
• Sarah (7/5): Probably not the best place for solo female travellers - It’s a big room. Location is walkable. It’s noisy from the market from 4am and so take earplugs. Also some noise from nighttime activities until around 11. The bathroom does not have AC. Self check in and no reception means little staff engagement. The location is hard to find and down a dark laneway - not ideal if arriving late and by yourself but fine during the day time. Use booking to liaise with staff as they didn’t respond on WhatsApp when I was lost arriving late at night. The area around the market clears out at nights so there are not many people about.
• Madge (9/5): Great location and clean comfortable stay - Spacious rooms and clean Toilet downstairs but was fine
• WENTING (4/5): 卓越的位置，卓越的態度，但環境堪憂。 - 令人讚歎的溫暖與態度超好也即時的服務，很好！ 房間真的太多蚊子，打也打不完，有使用飯店提供的殺蟲劑無效，我跟我女兒臉到脖子到手到背通通都是蚊子叮的包….導致我跟我女兒半夜癢醒好幾次！另外隔音真的蠻差的！
• Emily (10/5): Beautiful apartment in a fantastic location for exploring Georgetown - We had an excellent time in Georgetown and this was partly because of the wonderful apartment we stayed in. It is stylish, spacious and in a great location next to the market. The owners were very communicative and gave lots of recommendations as well as organising some group activities (we could not join any of these as we had other plans but they sounded great).
• Alina (8/5): Chowrasta market accommodation - The place seems to be new. The location is close to the cafes and restaurants on Lebuh Campbell. Prompt communication with the host. Late checkout. The location is by a major street and the Chowrasta market which makes the place noisy around the clock. The bathroom is not ensuite. It’s a stand-alone corner outside. Its metal roof gets heated during the day, making it very hot by the evening - an unpleasant experience.
• Robert (7/5): Good but with a soft bed - The shared kitchen was awesome. The room was big and had authentic brick wall and high wooden ceilings, looks great. Facilities all clean and in good working condition. Two reasons for the 7 rating. There were a couple mosquitoes in my room at night, and there aren't screens on the windows so it was very hard to keep them out. Also the bed was so soft and saggy in the middle that I slept on the floor. Otherwise it's an awesome and quality property and the staff are great.
• Premnat (7/5): - Everything is nearby Don't have a mirror in room and sink stucked sometimes .
• Hanif (6/5): -
• alexandre (7/5): - Bien dans l’ensemble , super cuisine Petite chambre sans fenêtre
• William (9/5): -
• Li (10/5): -
• Shu (9/5): Well located and a comfortable stay. The hosts were very responsive and helpful -
• Lucy (9/5): Beautiful room in nice part of town - Beautiful room in a really tastefully renovated property, in a nice part of town easy walking from all the main sites. Really helpful and responsive staff - I was struggling with the air con when I arrived and someone came round straight away to help. The shared bathroom could get very wet after use, but was kept very clean and shared bathroom is highlighted in the property ads - maybe a shower curtain could help?
• mohd aizat (10/5): amazing - awesome nothing
• amrul hakm (10/5): - The vibe here is very calm and cozy. Most importantly it's very clean.
• Haidy (10/5): - The location is excellent and the staff response to query promptly. The warm touch of welcoming note was lovely as well.
• Jimmy (5/5): - Very flimsy door and window. Cannot feel secure at night. A slight kick would have opened the door. Probably for you, it is called rustic. Annoying cooking class at facility got me to wake up in the morning.
• Emmanuelle (9/5): -
• Muhammad Shahrul Akmal (8/5): -
• Claudia (10/5): - Very nice place and perfect location. The staffs are very kind. I highly recommend staying here.
• N.Sheikh (9/5): Exceptional space, great ambeince, comfortable atmosphere and very tastefully decorated. - The space is great; I was really impressed by the repurposed tailoring house, which has now been beautifully and tastefully turned into this living space. It was very comfortable living here. The bathroom is on the ground floor in the backyard, so sometimes it is a bit of a walk, especially in the middle of the night : ) but this doesn't overshadow the overall experience of the stay.
• Norashkharian (10/5): Amazing - Comfortable place very clean and nice Everything exeptional
• Karuna Beedeshwaree (10/5): - It's an ideal location for those who are backpacking/traveling on a budget and want to have the full Georgetown experience. Very Central and walking distance to all the attractions. The staff was fantastic and extremely responsive. Loved our stay there
• Chao (10/5): -
• Mei Yern (10/5): Excellent location, above average comfort for a weekend stay - Location of the unit is right above Chowrasta Food Market. The biggest plus point is that it’s surrounded by eateries. Kimberly St night market is 5 mins walk away, and 1st Avenue mall 10 mins walk away, Hin Bus Depot also a 12 min walk. The hosts were very friendly, supportive, and allowed us to check in early and we were also allowed to leave our luggage in the indoors lower ground foyer after checking out, which we were very grateful for!! Air conditioning was strong, there was plenty of space to put your luggage and it was clean. Grab pickups are convenient if you specify Penang Bazaar as the landmark. Light sleepers take note -the market is right beneath so you will hear human and vehicle activity in the wee hours of the morning when stalls are being set up and chatter of people having breakfast in the alley. The noise was largely muted by a glass partition and the room is long. It’s also up a narrow flight of steep wooden stairs so it’s not suitable for the elderly or if you have heavy luggage. Not for fussy travelers.
• Hawa (8/5): Appartement propre, belle localisation et personnel professionnel - La localisation proche de tout. c’était également sympa d’être en plein coeur du marché Chowrasta. N/A
• Jurgen (10/5): - alles Niets
• Hasna (10/5): Bon rapport qualité-prix et emplacement parfait pour découvrir George Town. - La chambre était propre et confortable, bien équipée et très bien située, à quelques minutes à pied des principales attractions et des restaurants. Le personnel était aimable et disponible.
• Clémence (10/5): -
• Derek (9/5): Great location and comfortable stay - Great little sectioned off area where window can be opened to the outside, which overlooks a bustling morning market. Many food options especially for breakfast, all just a few steps away from the entrance. Can be a bit noisy in the early morning when the vendors are setting up
• YUN (10/5): -
• Nicole (9/5): Super, wir waren sehr zufrieden, zwar haben wir den Host nie gesehen, aber per whatsapp, war er immer erreichbar - Schönes Guest-Appartement, geschmacksvoll eingerichtet. Bequeme Betten, Kühlschrank..gute Lage, nicht zu laut
• Nicole (9/5): Tolles Guest-Appartment, schöner Einrichtungsstil. alles, was man braucht, hatte es - Schön eingerichtet, gemütliche Atmosphäre, geräumiges Zimmer mit Aussenbereich, schnell im Zentrum, Zwar keine Rezeption vor Ort, aber sehr netter, hilfsbereiter und jeweils sofortiger Kontakt via whatsapp. Aussenbereich zwar herzig, aber sehr heiss
• Christine (10/5): -
• Agata (10/5): - It is exactly like on the photos, it makes you feel so so good to stay in a place like that after a while of travelling. The staff is very nice and helpful, they are available all the time. They let us leave our luggage for a couple of hours and prepared a plan for sightseeing which was helpful while designing our own plan. There is a lot of places to eat breakfast nearby. Everything was perfect None
• Matthew (10/5): The food. Omg the food!!! Location win! - Amazing location. Walking distance to plenty of great food. The outdoor bathroom is quite warm due to the air conditioning unit.
• Hadrien (10/5): Great Experience and Value for Money - We extended our stay for second time. Love the neighbourhood vibes and excellent hospitality experience with AAYU Suite located at upper floor but all good for us.
• Daniel (10/5): Great location - Secluded and private. Also walking distance to many places
• David (9/5): Well located, spacious apartment! -
• Wee (9/5): Superb -
• Neil (9/5): A nice location in the center of the old town -
• Anisah (10/5): Value for money private space in the middle of Georgetown! - Exactly as pictured, clean, private, centrally located, staff were amazing (chatting via Whatsapp was convenient), air conditioning worked well, drying rack to hang clothes, tastefully decorated space. The pillows were a bit too soft/flat but we asked for extra pillows and they delivered almost instantly!
• Hadrien (10/5): Perfect location and comfortable stay in the central of George Town - Love the vibes staying in a traditional heritage shophouse where it strategically located in the heart of Geoge Town. We get the whole suite with amenities on our own. The team is always online and ready to help. They even shared with us their local recommendations on places to visit. Overall experience was great and will definitely be back! Well done. The suite is at upper floor which you need to take the stairs up as there's no elevator. Not an issue for us and we are completely fine with it.
• Daniel (10/5): Central location, great vibes too - Spacious and clean room Nothing
• Faith (10/5): Exceptional - It's amazing place and there are a lot of attractions nearby to explore. The service was perfect and we had a wonderful Stay.
• Caroline (10/5): Exceptional - I love the design of the room and how comfortable they are. Location is also perfect and the service is top notch.
• Luis (10/5): Exceptional - We love it. The stay was perfect and will come back again.
• Paul (10/5): Highly Recommended and Great Values - Room is much spacious than we thought and located in centre of the city. Equipped with all the amenities and comfortable king size bed. Attentive staff and reservation team, always support on and offline. Highly Recommended! All good
• Sammy (10/5): Back here again. Thank you Aayu team! - Nice room and strong air conditioning None
• Rick (10/5): Exceptional - Back here again for a business trip. Simple and accessible to many places -
• Camilla (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location and the room is really beautiful. Love my stay here and will repeat again. Thanks AAYU!
• Laura (10/5): Great central accommodation for Georgetown - Great location, easy check in, excellent communication. Market outside in the morning but does not create much noise. Nice big space, can walk to all old town tourist spots. NA
• Paul (10/5): Highly Recommended! - My second booking with Aayu Chowrasta. Personally prefer a spacious king size room with en-suite bathroom so yeah right in the city centre. Nothing. All good.
• Arthur (10/5): Exceptional - Extended another night. Great vibes
• Paul (10/5): Unbeatable Value, Awesome Hospitality - Unbeatable value! The room is spacious, clean and equipped with all the necessities. The king size mattress is so comfortable, and we had a good sleep. The small seating area and pantry are the bonuses for us. We appreciate how responsive and informative of the reservation team. All our questions are well answered. Thank you. At first it was hard to find the entrance but the reservation team is very responsive and shared the guide and assisted check-in smoothly. The real entrance is from a back lane ie. Color lane. All good!
• Arthur (10/5): Nice private suite. Comfortable ambience to relax and work - What’s interesting is the walkability of this place. You can walk to Campbell Street, to Chulia Street, to the market beside, and even to the famous Cendol store. If you don’t mind the hot sun, you can also walk to a nearby mall. It’s a private suite, so you have the whole place to yourself. I actually enjoyed some quiet time working as well. Nothing at all
• Indiana (10/5): Exceptional Stay! - It's a newly opened hotel and it's ideally located in a prime area, offering east access to local attractions, restaurants and shopping centers. The staff is friendly, attentive and always willing to go to the extra mile to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. The room is also equipped with a range of amenities and impeccably clean & well maintained, ensuring a pleasant and hygienic experience throughout your stay!
• Sammy (10/5): Definitely a Hidden Gem in George Town - The unit is very spacious, and private. We stayed in other Aayu’s properties before, so we knew what to expect: friendly staffs and clean unit. Loved the proximity to everything lovely about George Town- the Chowrasta market/ Penang Rd Chendol / Kimberley night market! For those who loved George Town, you would love it here! Not a complaint. But the entrance to the unit is from the back, it is called Rainbow Lane. Lovely lane! It is very bright during the day, where you would see tourists alike taking photos. At night, the backlane is quite lit so we felt quite safe.
