I had an amazing stay at Melayu Villa. The room was super clean and spacious, the bed very comfortable, and the location was perfect, so close to all of the main places in Georgetown, including so many amazing restaurants and cafes. The host was so great, super responsive and incredibly helpful with so many golden recommendations for restaurants and local spots. Absolutely recommend this place, just book it!!

Excellent location (right in the heart of Georgetown).. Howie and Amith were super amazing hosts. Howie is very friendly and was always there to accompany the guests. He took us to the arts fair and to the Gurdwara. He further suggested the attractions. I am absolutely impressed by his personality. He is compassionate and kind. Spotless clean and spacious room. Walking distance to major attractions and eateries. Ah I almost missed the cats. They make the place so special. I can go on writing 100 pages about Howie and the hostel. I can't describe everything in words.
