My stay at Banana new guesthouse was okay. However, the bus tour experience to Cameron Highlands (organized by Banana tours) was very bad due to the stupid driver. The first bus broke down (still in Georgetown), which was not his fault. We (12 passengers) hopped on a new one, but with 11 seats only. A Dutch traveller and I shared... More

Look for urself, the place was in lonelyplanet three years ago and the management doesn't seem to care about it at all. stinky room (rain water comes inside...)+ very very unfriendly stuff. and cause georgetown is an awesome place there are still backpackers who go there. They get u a Thai visa, yay. check out the nicer places along lovelane.... More

This was the cheapest option that we found in Georgetown. It was 25 MR for a very, very basic twin room with a shared bathroom. It was clean enough and the location is good; within walking distance to most of the main sites. There is free wifi as well and its a good place to meet people as it is... More

You enter first a tour&travel agency with an internet facility. Inside the office you have a door to the rooms. Rooms are good, clean enough, television, hot water, air con and fan. You got all the facilities for tours and internet and free information. Also laundry is possible. Staff is very friendly and the location is great. Close to little... More

Banana was recommended by friends as a cheap and convenient place to stay during my visa run and I was more than happy with it. 18MYR for a basic fan room with shared bathroom and the hottest shower I've had in months. To be honest I was just happy to get sheets and a pillowcase which is more than I've... More

We stayed in Banana Guesthouse, NOT the boutique hotel! On first site it looked great! The staff is really friendly and gave as a low season discount. We stayed in the double room with bathroom. All the rooms don't have windows, so after one day it really smells inside. Because of the bathroom, the towels that hang in your room... More

perfect place for those who need accommodation. mostly young people live here. We had the cheapest room, 250 baht, with a fan and a small window overlooking the corridor. The room is a bed with a comfortable mattress and a clothes hanger. that's all. Showers and toilets nearby, relatively pure, clean very well, toilet paper is always there. If you... More

Having been totally upset by the Berjaya Penang, ( see previous review), I spoke to chums and ended up here at the Banana. Despite its somewhat eccentric name, this very nicely restored Chinese Manson in the centre of the Heritage district and gets the full Mole 5+ stars. Having recently retired and downgraded my budget to the Personal Account, I... More
