Guestbook for Seri Tanjung Pinang

"We found this accommodation to be beautifully presented in every way. Everything was very clean indeed, including bedding and bathrooms. The property was spacious and designed to prevent any waiting for the bathroom or shower with toilets and showers attached to every bedroom including a shared bathroom on the second floor. We felt very welcomed both at the airport and also with the little extras that greeted us when we arrived, cereal, milk, fresh orange, fruits etc. Our correspondence with the property owners proved to be informative and they were always welcoming and pleasant. One thing worth noting, we found it best to walk to Island Plaza to catch a bus or taxi and this took us about 10 mins brisk walk. If going to Penang again we would certainly be happy to stay in this house, indeed we would look forward to staying there at any time." Review by Andrew Rich from Thailand/England

"Owing to you I much now the nobility about Malaysia and especially about island Penang. At you the magnificent country! Your house very beautiful and big. The price of rent of the house also very good. You give very good conditions for rest. It was very pleasant to me communicate with you. You very professionally and convincingly tell about the house and the country." Review by vjacheslav Ovchinnikov from Russia

"We stayed 6 days in this villa and found it was very new and clean. It is also conveniently located between the beach and city centre and only takes around 30 minutes to go either place. A bus station is located within walking distance from the villa and you can travel by Bus no. 101 which stops at many major tourist must see places. " Review by Vera Sung from Hong Kong
