Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Penang

This is a wonderful property to fully experience the George Town historic centre. Not only is it a transitional house from the olden days, the host took great care to decorate it with period pieces, including the cabinet of fine traditional China, paintings on the walls, etc. It really felt like being transported back in time. The location was also fantastic, walkable to all the popular spots and many great restaurants and eateries. Ke was a fantastic host, who was super responsive and accommodating. Our flight landed earlier and she allowed us to leave our luggage at the reception area before our check-in time. Ke also provided lots of recommendations, including advice for activities as I was travelling with my elderly parents. Would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking for an authentic experience.

It was very nice staying at Toy’s house. It was very clean. Also, it was really comfortable and same as the descrabtion. Toy was really helpful and answered any question i had at anytime. He explanied everything very well. I really recommend staying at his home and for sure if i will come here again I will stay atthe home. Thanks Toy for everything

Extremely spacious and comfortable home in a very convenient location. The host was always quick to respond with any questions we had. Thank you for a nice stay!

We had a great experience staying at Winnie’s place. The location is fantastic right in the heart of the city with easy access to restaurants and tourist spots. It’s a perfect place for families looking for a peaceful yet central stay. The room, although compact, was clean, cozy, and felt like a small Japanese-style home — very charming and well-maintained. Winnie was a kind and helpful host; she even provided drinking water and made sure we were comfortable throughout. The only minor challenges were the stairs — since the place is on the 3rd floor and there’s no elevator, carrying heavy luggage can be a bit tiring — and there was a temporary water issue one day, but Winnie resolved it quickly and efficiently. Overall, a pleasant stay with warm hospitality. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a comfortable and conveniently located place to stay!

Excellent in every way. Where do I start… the location cannot be beat. Armenian street is THE George Town street to see, and it’s walking distance to many amazing restaurants, hawkers centers, boutique shops, street artworks, and other attractions like the esplanade and large shopping malls. The home itself has a very peaceful feel, oozing with oldtown charm, tastefully furnished, and very spacious. The beds are comfortable, the aircon is excellent, the hot/cold filtered water machine is super convenient, and the washer/dryer works well. Things to note: The bathroom ceiling is quite low- if you’re over 5’10” you’ll be stooped over, but they provide a shower seat. There is an atrium in the middle of the home that is open to the floor below and the shop on the ground floor. This is no issue, but something to be aware of if you have toddlers like us that are, at times, difficult to keep calm and quiet.

We had a great one night stay here during a short weekend trip to Penang from KL. There are many thoughtful touches to Ling Ling's place. Notes describing the place and the history. Local recommendations on a homemade map, complete with walking distances. A variety of local snacks to try. The location is convenient and walkable within Georgetown, but feels very private down a small side road.

Very clean and tidy. The host was very friendly, helpful and responsive. The location and the view were amazing. Highly recommended this place. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.

This was our second time staying, the accommodation was well prepared by ‘The Team’ and is in an outstanding location.

Came to Penang for a prayer retreat and has a wonderful time staying here. Beautiful views of the ocean and convinient location are what makes this place a good choice. Apartment was clean and well equipped.

I'd give more than five stars if AirBnB would let me. We felt really at home, and would unequivocally recommend the place. Siew Lin is an amazing host, flexible, helpful. The place is great. It's bigger than it looks in the pictures; there are two fully-fitted bathrooms, each with a shower; a great kitchen that is fully equipped; washing machine and a drying rack on the beautiful balcony; everything to feel like home... The location is also perfect. In the building complex there's a fully-stocked supermarket (downstairs and across a covered walkway, 3 minutes door-to-door), great restaurants, a beautiful pool that is always empty, a gym, great surroundings... We also like the geography in the city, nestled (somehow extremely quietly) between Georgetown and Tanjung Bungah!

We had a wonderful stay at this this place.The space was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The bathtub was a great feature—perfect for unwinding in the evening. But the real star of the show was the ball pit! The kids absolutely loved it and spent hours playing, laughing, and having the time of their lives. It was such a unique and fun addition that made the whole stay extra memorable. This place is a fantastic choice for families looking for a stay that’s both relaxing for adults and exciting for kids. Highly recommend!

Our family enjoyed the 9-night stay in this nice, clean, spacious, comfortable and well-equipped Airbnb in a great location with many nearby eateries and with easy access to the beach. We were given clear instructions for check-in and check-out. Despite the heat outside, the apartment became our paradise as we entered it. It has beautiful hill views from the sitting room and bedroom. Watching different birds from the sitting room and monitor lizards in the small drainage below the windows at different times of the day was an enjoyment.

A greatplace to stayed 🙏🏻

「ペナン島で暮らすように過ごしたい！」という私の願望を叶えてくれた部屋で大満足しています。部屋からはヨットハーバーが目の前に見えます。スーパーも近く、食料品から日用品まで揃います。ワインショップも近いです。レストランも沢山あります。Grabを呼ぶのにも便利で毎日利用して出かけました。ペナンは暑くて汗を沢山かくので洗濯が毎日できたことはとても助かりました。 プールでも泳ぎ気持ち良かったです。夜は下のレストランから歌が聴こえたりしますが私はうるさくて困るというほどではなかったです。(感じ方は人それぞれだと思いますが…) Ooiさんに何か質問をするとすぐに返事がきて対応してもらえ安心して過ごすことができました。セキュリティの面でもしっかりしているコンドミニアムだと思います。 コンロは使えなかったので部屋ではお湯を沸かしてお茶を飲んだり果物を買ってきて食べました。屋台グルメ天国のペナンでは部屋で調理しなくても良かったのでコンロが使えなくても全く困りませんでした。 ペナンでの快適なお部屋を貸していただきありがとうございました。また再訪したい場所です。

Fabulous apartment with everything you need. Amazing pool at your doorstep. Laundry facilities were great. Easy to get a grab and get anywhere you want in Penang. Excellent instructions from host and very responsive. Highly recommend and will book again!

My kids really love Sam's place especially their kids room - it comes in a tent, plenty of soft toys and Crayon (japanese cartoon character) paintings and figurines, miffy figurine so making it very homey and cutesy. It is very difficult to get them to leave the house which is a great sign. As a mom with 2 kids, I found the kitchen is well equipped with microwave, over, stove, water filter and utensils which make life easier to warm up food and feed the kiddos simple breakfast in the morning. The rooftop jacuzzi, sauna and pool with Penang bridge view is definitely a great attraction on its own with the kiddos and the washing machine can help to drain their clothes much faster for the next swim. The flat is a corner flat with amazing city-view which my kids can't get enough with. The flat is flawless in design and chic, which I completely love. Definitely back for more. Sam is also a local expert and don't hesitate to get his POV for great foods.

We really enjoyed our stay at Siang’s Place at Straits Quay. This was the first AiraBNB in a long time where a person showed up to check us in and out. Kev was our contact person during our stay and he was kind, helpful and always available. The unit was clean and comfortable matching the description on the listing. All of the other nice things that people have said in their reviews are true. Even though the unit does not face the water, the balcony is large and nicely shaded in the morning for enjoying our coffee. Some of the things we really liked include the pool and gym (new equipment in the gym and strong AC), the wonderful grocery store just a few steps away, the walking paths along the water (perfect for morning or evening walks), easy pick up and drop off for Grab, and the weekly cleaning service included in the fee. Great stay, we will come again. Thanks Kev and Siang.

Loved staying here. Super clean, bright and beautiful views! Love that shoes stay at the door!!!

the house was nice and comfortable. Everything was in good condition. Would definitely come again!

the location was in the heart of george town and a drivable distance to many cafes and places of interests nearby. checking in process was smooth and the accommodation itself was clean, cozy. the views from the living room overlooks the sea and mainland malaysia and we had a great stay at Jesslyn’s place.

the room is clean,simple, comfortable,nice view. Although not a big size room but come with 2 ceiling fan and 2 air-conditioning. location is convenient to go every where around George town,many restaurant surrounding. Host is friendly and helpful,highly recommended. Overall,price is very reasonable.

This is another accommodation that I really like. It’s comfortable, well-equipped, and very spacious. If I have the chance, I will definitely come back again.

Nice booking and indoor amenities (like living room entertainment, cutlery, plates etc.) for a larger group, has a nice view of the ocean and interesting shopping areas/grocer nearby for convenience. The host was responsive and attentive to questions we had during check-in and the stay. We enjoyed the stay 🌷

Recommended apartments to stay in Penang. A very helpful host n fast respond. The apartment was clean and comfortable, with a great view, and it was easy to get around on foot — especially since it’s close to Loh Guan Lye Hospital.
