Old Penang Guesthouse, Love Lane

Edited to include picture of bedroom taken from link given below (CLICK 'HERE')

Old Penang Guest House was one of the many places that pop up when you click (here)






















A really good and clean place to be at! High ceilings provide an airy and quiet atmosphere! Paul and Sean are so ever helpful. Do call in by phone first before stepping into the lobby! Cos they are quite popular! We had a double bed room with a third bed (mattress on the floor) for a total cost of RM140.00 (not inclusive of a refundable deposit of RM20.00) for our three days two nights stay in Penang. Simple breakfast provided everyday with freeflow of coffee and tea up to noon or until stock runs out! You just need to clean up after yourself! Outside food and drinks allowed. Free internet (gotta wait your turn) in the lobby and WIFI on the ground floor.

My contribution for the trip:
Taxifare to and fro airport/hotel: RM38.oo and RM35.00 ~ RM73.00
Hotel: RM140.00
Food: RM 250.00 (allocated but has balance somemore!)
Busfare to: Batu Ferringi (RM4.00 per pax per return trip) x 3 ~ RM12.00
Entrance fee to Penang National Park at BF: (FREE!)
Busfare to: Penang Hill (RM3.00 per pax per return trip) x 3 ~ RM9.00
Entrance fee for visit to Peranakan House: (RM10.00 per pax) x 3 ~ RM30.00
Entrance fee for visit to Chocolate House: (Free) with free tasting
Visit pass to Penang Hill: (RM4.00 per pax) x 3 ~ RM12.00
TOTAL: RM 526.00 not inclusive of personal shopping of course!

no photos of the bedroom ah? But looks like a nice place. Like Hotel Puri in Melaka

Hi Taty!
edited post to include picture of bedroom - similar to the one we use. Not as grand as the Puri, which I HEART BIG TIME, but Old Penang has its own ambience! More pictures available at the link given in the opening line of this post.
