Awesome Guest House with Amazing Location and Owners”
A very good guesthouse with very unique interior decorations at the lobby, kitchen, shared bathroom. One can experience how it feels to be living in a wooden/antique houses. Though the floor was made wooden, therefore guests are to walk quietly and try not to disturb other occupants. The location is superb - located right in middle of the Georgetown; we spend 2 days on foot touring around the Street Arts which are just within 100 meters each away from this hotel; also near to Yap Kongsi, Khoo Kongsi! This hotel is near to a lot of good eateries - Seng Thor Kopitiam, OO White Coffee, Kou Lou Wantan mee, Pitt Street Eel fish ball, Duck blood mee noodle and near to Lebuh Kimberly too! Best place and I will come back to this hotel! Owner is very friendly and very kind. She has free upgraded us to one of the suite next door for few nights of our stay! It has free water dispenser and you can use the fridge too! And lots of public parking in front of it, can ask owner if she can help to book parking coupon for you. Penang uses online parking payment so no need to buy anymore parking ticket booklet!

The Best in Penang!!”
I booked Carnarvon House after the reading high reviews and 9+ star rating and now I understand why the reviews are so high. The residence in managed by Nicole who is absolutely the sweetest and friendliest person you'd want to meet. The friend I was with had a birthday while we were staying there and they made him a chocolate cake. Besides, had some wonderful chats with her and Kate. The room is clean, comfortable and air con worked great. Very central in the Heritage area walking distance to Komtar, food stall and restaurants , Chulia street, etc. Definitely my choice again when staying in Penang.

Ethnic, super clean, super host”
We came late at night and the host (Terry & his mom) still waiting and give warm welcome. Feel so homey. We got upgrade room as well. Shared toilet/ bathroom are super clean, neat, and in good condition. Everything works well. Good lighting. And they have hot and cold dispenser. Terry is so kind to explain turism spots and nice restaurants. They provide brosurs and maps for tourist. Breakfast is also nice. Terry’s mom cooked for us. Coffee, tea, soup, noodle, egg, salad, bread and jam, all provided in nice cozy room. Really enjoy spending holiday here and surely will comeback again.

A cosy, quaint guesthouse that feels just like home ”
Tremendously enjoyed my short stay at Carnavon house, wished it was longer. The rooms were neat and clean, and the lobby is was just beautiful. Great to sit around and just take in the great vibes. The host Nichole was really sweet! Recommending places to go and making my stay really comfortable. The guesthouse is also a short walk from many places of attractions, including many beautiful heritage museums. A perfect stay for anyone visiting Georgetown.

BEST SERVICE EVER”
The main point of this hotel is about the excellent service, the owner and the staff always make sure we feel comfortable about everything. They even provided us with home made vegetarian breakfast which is really nice and taste really good. The location is excellent, walking distance to chew's jetty, komtar, murals art, and many more. Surely will come back again.

Just perfect”
I would highly recommend this place to everyone. The house is beautiful from the inside. Everything is super clean, the rooms have everything you need with really comfortable beds, the staff is super friendly and helps you with everything. We even booked this place again when we went on a trip to Langkawi and wanted to spend one night in Georgetown again.

Wonderful guesthouse in the heart of Georgetown”
Carnarvon House was a perfect place for my wife and I to stay for a short weekend get-away in preparation for the birth of our child. We were in the new wing which has been renovated and decorated very tastefully. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and made our stay pleasant indeed. The location is fantastic, being a short walk away from various places to obtain excellent food from different cuisines. It was a very quiet period for the city centre in general, but we had a truly enjoyable brief respite and would highly recommend this guesthouse to any who are looking for a place to stay close to the heart of Georgetown.

Outstanding”
The auntie who worked in this place is friendly and warm. The place is outstandingly clean and we love the toilets as they have warm water. The place was also near to many cafes and popular eateries. We truly chose a great accommodation as we saved on the cab fares. Thank you very much for being very hospitable!

Superhost, comfortable stay, highly recommended ”
The modern facilities and heritage elements in Carnarvon House interact harmoniously and exudes a sense of calm. After a morning of walking, one looks forward to making a pit stop back in Carnarvon House to cool down, take a breather before continuing the exploration of Penang. We also enjoy our talks with Nicole, the proprietor of Carnarvon House. Topics range from food, local attractions, neighboring shops, local history.

Great location and friend staff”
I was wowed by the antique furnishings in carnarvon house. Area gave a cozy vintage vibes and the room was neat and tidy. The location of carnarvon house was great. Walking distance to tons of good food stalls ranging from breakfast to supper. Legit able to have 8 meals a day or i shld say hourly feeding. I was attended by Nicole in carnarvon house. She is very bubbly, polite and helpful. By far the best staff i've encountered after visited so many guesthouses around the world.

very friendly, welcoming home”
Loved staying here back in 2019. The owner was available for recommendations on what to do/eat/see and also to fill me in on the history of the house. The bathroom is shared, but very nicely kept and the rooms are comfortable. I loved walking around the old town from here.

Location is great to explore Penang. Friendly and helpful host. Recently they change the Wifi system with better speed (try both the system before and after during the stays). A cosy, clean and nice place to stay.

Great location, friendly host, beautiful room”
I was given a free upgrade to an en-suite room and it was the perfect place to unwind for a short stay. Nicole, the host, was friendly and shared many helpful tips. The location was ideal - right in the heart of the city - and close to many great food options.

clean, comfy, convenient, :)”
let's start from parking on arrival - managed to get a street parking bay right outside the homestay subjected to city/town municipal parking rate. check-in process is simple and quick. myr50 was placed as deposit and returned when leaving. nice decor in the lobby and yes, it's ig worthy. be prepared to lug your things up to your room. one of the 2 points i hope carnarvon would consider - no shoes from the stairs onwards and i think it's to keep the hardwood floor better. i didnt feel comfortable walking around barefooted. perhaps let us know beforehand so that we could bring along indoor soft slippers or socks or carnarvon could provide indoor slippers. there are shower flip flops, again... i am sorta hygiene freak who thinks sharing shoes with strangers is a no no. room is clean (no dust, i checked haha). towel, bed sheet, comforter and pillow smells fresh. ac works well. you may hear floorboards creaking when ppl walk around. shower, sinks and toilets are clean too. oh there was a shower head holder that needed some maintenance - kept falling so i turned the water up all the way to keep the shower head up. check out was a breeze too. there's tea/coffee free flow at the pantry on the ground floor. ah yes, you would be asked to savor food on the ground floor dining area (no eating in the room which i think it's fair). i would def stay again and will have indoor slippers handy hehe.
