La Belle Maison 12 @ Gurney Kelawai/Pulau Tikus/Georgetown

Very clean and budget friendly. Location within walking distance to the mall

None

I can't say enough good things about this place. It is comfortable, spacious and super clean. You are staying in the home of a local Chinese Malaysian family. But you still have complete privacy. It is really the best of both worlds. The host is absolutely wonderful and knows all the best places to eat!

La Belle Maison was lovely! It is very conveniently placed to visit sights in Georgetown, enjoy Penang's great food or explore nature on Penang Hill. Our host was fantastic! She provided many great recommendations for restaurants and activities on top of our itinerary. All amenities were great and made the stay feel very comfortable! We would highly recommend staying at La Belle Maison.

The property, room, cleanliness, safety, security, bed and location to the malls was all excellent.

Unfortunately the matriarc/manager of the property's persona can only be described as manic and elevated, and I was a psychiatric nurse and Social Worker for 17 years. When I enquired as to why there were Christmas decorations in September, she responded, "Oh don't worry about that, every day is Christmas!" For the next few days constant overtalkativeness and insistance to accompany her to places reaffirmed her elevated mood level. It made me feel uncomfortable to be around her as she was constantly harrassing me, to the point I was afraid to go dowstairs in case she was there. Finally after days of this I said I need space but she persisted until I assertively said, "Please, leave me alone". The internet, which consistantly cut out was dowloading at under 10mb/s making it unusable for my work, The manager said she would get it fixed, but was having one of her episodes, so evidently forgot and the issue was not resolved. The day before leaving I asked if I could have a late check out of two hours as my next hotel check-in was not until 3, to which she refused, saying, "You can pack your bags and leave them in the living room, but your hotel should be able to do that to". Fed up with the mania and rudeness, I left that day, a day early.
