This homestay is located right in the heart of the old town in George Town. We were able to walk here within 15 minutes from the pier. From here although we arrived prior to check in the hosts made luggage storage easy while we waited for the room to be ready also providing complimentary tea coffee and snacks. We stayed in the Chulia room - queen bed. The room had place to store our bags as well as a decent bed and a fan and air conditioning which worked excellent. The old heritage house was beautiful and it made the stay very special. Another perk! They provide laundry services - being able to leave our clothes in a laundry bin and return to clean folded clothes meant we could spend more time exploring the city!
Nothing ! We will definitely both again in future visits!

The property is incredibly beautiful and historic. When we arrived the host gave us a short tour and explained about the history of the place and also showed us all the facilities. She was very friendly and helpful the whole time. The room is comfortable and clean and the bathrooms are simple but clean. In the lobby there is always coffee, tea, fruit and some local pastries available. You can also find guides about street art and places to eat. The location is great, close to all the main points of the city. We did everything on foot.
Nothing, it was great.

We stayed in the new wing with a common dining area and well stocked pantry (kitchenware provided) on the ground floor. We were upgraded to the loft room for 3 people on the ground floor which was a really nice guesture of the guesthouse as we had 2 big luggages (can't imagine lugging them up the stairs!). The guesthouse is very clean and well maintained. Most of the eateries and shopping area are within 500m radius which is a plus point as we can conveniently return to the guesthouse any time we need to rest and recharge from walking in the hot sun. The host Nicole is very friendly and helpful in providing information on where to get our wanton mee fix. She even asked us if we need to take a shower to refresh ourselves before we leave for the airport even though we had checked out earlier in the morning. Really appreciate her kind gesture.
Like most of the converted old houses, sound proofing is bad. But this is not within the control of the guesthouse so if you are a light sleeper, be mentally/ well prepared. First day afternoon the guests next door were talking loudly in their room with the door opened and I had to ask them to close their door as we could hear them clearly from our room. Second night they came back at around 1 am and were chatting till 5am - we can hear them through the walls. So no sleep for us.

Beautiful building Great location - near restaurants, bakeries and stationery shops ;-) Our ensuite room in the more modern section next door - architecture of both buildings was stunning - glad to experience both with the private and modern amenities of the room we stayed in. (The older building has no ensuite option)

It was my 4th time at Carnarvon house, and despite the management has changed, it remains a very nice place to stay. First it's perfectly located at a walking distance from the ferry, the clan jetties, the busy Chuliah st, Komtar tower and mall, etc... Then the old house has the great charm of those heritage houses in old Georgetown and the room i had in the new house (i spent 2 nights in each house) was very confortable with its bathroom attached. Finally Nicole is a friendly and helpful manager which makes the stay really pleasant.
At first i regretted there was no proper breakfast included anymore but there are so many warung and street stalls around that it's not a real problem.

I wanted the shophouse experience and I got it! The room is clean and the pillows are exceptional! I had good night's rest there! Location is central, and walking distance from the jetty. Nicole was very helpful!
The shared bathrooms and toilets mean that you have to wait your turn sometimes, but if you like communal living (which I do), this adds to the experience. Coffee shops nearby do not open until 8am or later, so buy your own breakfast the night before.

This is my second time being here. The customer service representative Nicole is super attentive and responsive, very helpful too! The room is cozy and clean, with all the facilities that I need. Location is great, walking distance to all the famous street with plenty of food choices. Parking is easy, I parked in front of the hotel most of the time.
The pillow is a little too soft and not in shape to hold my head, that could be because I used to my expensive pillow at home :) The aircon is a little slow, well there is a wall mount fan that helps up a lot.
