  Perfect stay in George Town

  15 Feb 2020

  This Guesthouse is one of a kind. Located shortly outside the buffer zone, it offers a very quite space with everything of interest within George Town in walking distance. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are very well equiped and the whole place is very clean. What I appreciate very much: drinking water, coffee, tea and shampoo/shower gel are included. There's also an excellent Wifi-connection. I can highly recommend The Magpie Residence.

  Lovely hotel

  02 Oct 2019

  My friend and I stayed for 2 days. You can only pay by cash in this hotel, so be prepared. The room is clean and just enough spacious though the building looks old and the reception looks small at first sight. Owner is friendly who sold us quite nice breakfast on our last day. He carefully instructed us how to take the CAT bus to travel freely in the town which is a great experience. Thanks to his map of street art and instruction, we got a lot of great photos and memories. Worth a recommendation

  Great stay!

  28 Jul 2019

  I stayed at magpie residence for 2 nights. I booked 3 different types of rooms, King Room, Double Room and bunk bed in dorm. The King Room a bit small than expected but everything else was in working order. I had a good sleep at night because the place is quiet and peaceful too. And the location is just perfect. The most I like is the cleanliness! The place is surprisingly clean it was even cleaner than my house ;pThe only thing I want to comment is the snail pace elevator, it is just too scary to take at night alone hahah..Overall we had a good stay, well recommended!!

  A Humble, Cozy & Strategic Place for Penang Exploration

  14 May 2019

  The room that we booked for was adequate. We have enough space for two of us, some space for praying, included bathroom, there was iron as well if you are hijabis like me. Iron is essential to have! The breakfast prep by the host was nice too. In case if you choose to indulge in local delicacies, there are some within walking distance in the morning and afternoon.

  Great hostel to stay in whilst in Penang

  03 May 2019

  Comfortable hostel with super helpful and friendly staff. Lots of privacy in the capsule like beds, however the room got quite hot at night. Pretty good location, walking distancr to most places like Love Lane and Armenian Street and Little India. Breakfast is fantastic. Good security with lockers. Great seating area out the front to meet other travellers.
