Very relaxed community feel. Bikes were a nice touch, but need maintenance.

Tony’s Guesthouse is the favourite place we have stayed during our travels around Asia. The vibe was perfect, really relaxed and chilled, and it could have everything we could possibly have needed - kitchen, utensils, coffee, washing machine etc. Tony even picked fruit from the garden for us all to try. Really good location too

Power cuts do happen from time to time. There are insects around as well (mosquitoes, sandfly, and cockroaches). Make sure to keep the door closed and put something over the drainage when not used to prevent cockroach).

Tony and his team are so welcoming, organised, helpful, and supportive. Clear communication from the beginning on how to get there, how to check-in. When I arrived, Tony gave me a tour around the Guesthouse. There are free laundry (though, you can donate 2RM to support future use and maintenance), and free bicycle for rent. The Internet connection is good and stable, there are a few restaurants near by 3 minutes drive/scooter ride or 15 minutes walk.

Very quiet and relaxing place. Minny's sandwiches are great. Access to washing machine and bikes was super helpful and important. Easy to bike the closest beach. Close to bus stop to go everywhere in Penang. Ceiling fan is powerful and great. Internet is VERY GOOD. Wouldn't normally mention that, but internet has been very spotty elsewhere in Penang.

Such an amazing place, full of nature and good memories. Spotted some very nice wildlife around😊 Bicycle's for rent available, the renting price is super low, it's mostly like a donation to maintain the bikes 🚲 Thank you for your hospitality and good times!

There was not really a decent duvet. The electricity stopped working for a full evening, but this was not the fault of the host.

Perfect location in nature. The host was very kind and responsive, and the room was good enough for a short stay. They have a small selection of food that they make for a good price. The facilities like laundry and the communal area are great.

The place itself is spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. You can tell that the owner puts a lot of effort into keeping everything in perfect condition. Speaking of the owner — they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout my stay. It really made a difference and made me feel at home.

Excellent Stay Near Escape Theme Park! I had a wonderful experience staying at this guesthouse. The location is super strategic — it's very close to Escape Theme Park, which was the highlight of my trip. One of the best parts was that the guesthouse provides bicycles that guests can borrow, making it really easy and fun to get to Escape.

Spacious common area, clean rooms, fully equipped with a washing machine, bikes, and a fridge. Two adorable cats keep you company, and there’s a lovely pavilion and a swing in the yard. Everything’s perfect, and the host is super friendly! 👍👍👍

the dogs may bark at midnight, but it doesn't bother me as I always have a deep sleep.

I really like the nature in Tony's guesthouse, it has a big public area which is perfect to stay and relax. Highly recommend here! by the way, they serve free seasonal fruits everyday!

In the middle of the nature, so peaceful. Close to the beach and to several beatiful hikes. Exactly what I was searching.

Not all rooms have AC so you will need to pay extra for that

I stayed for two weeks and enjoyed my time here. The guesthouse is surrounded by nature and Tony is nice enough to share fruits from his garden including durian, rambutans, papaya, banana etc. Tony also gave me a ride to the bus station which takes you to the airport.

Doesn’t bother me much but neighbors sometimes burn their trash and occasional insects (this is common to the tropics and rural areas but some people may not be used to that if you’re not used to rural life in the tropics). There are birds in cages that sing during the day- I kind of liked hearing their different songs but it could be bothersome to some people but it wasn’t an issue for me just good to expect before you go. With that said, there are ups and downs wherever you go and Tony’s Guesthouse is a great deal for what is included in my opinion.

At first coming from the United States I was a little uncomfortable in such a different place than what I’m used to, but Tony made me feel right at home and welcome. He shared many fruits that he grew on the property which is the key to my heart. Tony is very polite, generous, and kind. I got to meet interesting people from all of over the world and learn about where they are from. I am a cat lover and enjoyed seeing the two chunky cats living their best lives there. I really liked being able to do laundry and rent a bicycle for only 2RM per day. Its proximity to the national park and beach is ideal for nature lovers. I felt very safe here as a solo female traveler. I want to come back someday!! If you get the chance, go eat a durian at hidden beach for sunset. It’s a gorgeous quiet beach close to town. If you love hiking you have to go to Penang National Park and hike about 4 miles from the entrance across the park to Turtle Beach. It was an amazing 8 mile hike being surrounded by trees and hearing all the peaceful sounds of nature.
