카르나본 하우스(Carnarvon House)

The staff was very kind and friendly. She gave us advice on where to go and led us around the hostel. Due to some issues, we were not living in the room that we booked. Instead, we were upgraded to a bigger room with its own washroom. The room is very clean and decent! The only flaw I can point out is the limited storage space inside the washroom but that is still acceptable. Everything else is more than good!

女主人很熱情，服務很好。會給住客提供茶包咖啡，和小點心。 感覺更像是民宿，南洋風格三進式的老房子，一樓公共區域佈置得很有氛圍。 住的房間設施較老，部分區域鋪設地毯，可能要保護老房子的木質地板，可以理解，但應該不是每天清潔的，如果是有潔癖體驗一晚我覺得差不多了，現代酒店住的會更舒適。

房間很大，很乾凈。隔音效果不好

衞生：非常乾淨，無異味 環境：古色古香 設施：設施齊全，最貼心的是在公共區域有個葯箱，什麼樣的葯都有。而且還有免費的水果還有速溶咖啡。 服務：老闆和老闆娘都是華人，溝通無障礙，而且都超級nice 明年的榴蓮季再見

價格便宜 雖然衞生間和洗澡是公共的 但是很方便 重點是有空調的

family的感覺，重温公共浴室的感覺，乾淨整潔，很温馨。

Perfect location. Plenty of eateries markets and things to do nearby. Warm welcome. Tourist information available. Inner courtyeatd is a great place to hang out and relax. Comfortable bed and pillows. Aircon fab. Super clean. Lovely to be able to make a cuppa. Shared facilities never a problem during our 6 day stay.

Just a perfect intro to Penang and Georgetown. A beautiful little place, halfway between an upscale hostel and a boutique hotel. It was my first visit to Penang, and initially I'd reserved at another, highly rated, Georgetown hotel, but my heart sank when I checked in, looked at the rows of identical rooms, talked to the front desk staff who had no enthusiasm for their World Heritage city and minimal knowledge of what to see, where to go. I immediately checked out! I checked TripAdvisor, and Carnarvon House was just a 15 minute walk away -- in a much more traditional part of town. What a contrast! It's in a quiet side street in the middle of traditional Georgetown, a small hotel with beautifully restored internal and external features. Greeted by Nicole, the super friendly, knowledgeable co-owner, I admired the internal patio garden, the welcoming guest coffee/common room, and the choice of rooms. The upscale hostel part? There are no ensuite bathrooms -- the traditional and original layout doesn't allow room for that. But there are easily adequate toilet-shower-sink cubicles. As a solo visitor, I much enjoyed meeting other guests -- young folks and couples from all parts of the world -- in the common room area. And Nicole was so helpful in advising about how to explore Penang -- and restaurant recommendations. A better concierge than in most upscale hotels! A perfect place for a perfect Penang visit.

Carnarvon House was in a great central location surrounded by heritage buildings and near to the clan jetties. It was also close to a convenient shopping mall with a grocer, and to the archaeological park which was a lovely stroll. Nicole was super friendly and helpful at check-in and let us know there was a market happening in the park during our stay, she was also really helpful with details about getting our washing done in house (amazing service, was 10MYR/kg when we visited in May 2023). The guesthouse had two lovely common areas, with filtered water, self service tea, coffee, fruit and snacks, and some basic kitchen amenities. The room was tastefully furnished with some heritage features (we stayed in the new building) and a comfy bed. The bathroom was clean and had the essentials, and fresh towels were provided every two days. We really enjoyed our stay at Carnarvon House and would absolutely recommend it!!
