"Staying in the heart of George Town, Penang, offers a nostalgic step back in time. My guesthouse was tucked away on a remarkably quiet side street, providing a peaceful escape from the city’s usual roar. However, just a short stroll away, the neighborhood transformed into a vibrant local night market, filled with the aroma of sizzling char kway teow and bright neon signs. The accommodation itself was modest. My room was quite small, suited strictly for one person, and the dim lighting created a moody, old-world atmosphere that felt like a movie set. Like many traditional heritage shophouses, the bathroom and toilets were located outside the room, shared among all guests. While simple, the central location and authentic local vibe made it a memorable stay."

"The location is great, close to attractions, easy to get around, and there's plenty of food. It feels safe, and at night, there are chill pubs and street food. The bed is soft, and it's self-check-in. I read a lot of reviews and hesitated for a while, but once I stayed, I was more impressed than I expected. The bathroom has slippers to change into, and there's a microwave for heating food and a water dispenser. The room itself has air conditioning with adjustable temperature. The bathroom is spacious and the fixtures are new. Even though the owner is Indian, it's normal; they run their businesses wherever they go and aren't intrusive at all. It really suits my backpacking and budget travel style; I could walk everywhere. When I went to Hong Kong, the hotel owner was also Indian, and they were friendly and kind. I recommend this place; it's not noisy, and even if there's some sound, it's not so loud that you can't sleep – it's generally peaceful. It's perfect for travelers who love to explore."

"I booked the 4-bed dorm thinking that only 4 guests would use the shower & toilet. But apparently, the 2 shower-toilet combined were used by all the other rooms & dorms. It was getting awkward with many females frequently entering the washroom area. A room no.205 has access directly through the washroom.. Weird! (picture attached). I could hear some odd conversations between 2 boys & a girl from that room while brushing teeth in the morning. The dorm which was sufficient only for one single bed is filled with 2 bunk beds, so there is no space at all in the dorm room. You have to directly jump onto the bed. My dorm room was on second floor with no elevator. The only 3 good points about this hostel are that they provide a towel for hostel beds, is located on a main street in Georgetown, and has complementary breakfast for everyone (bread-butter-jam, tea-coffee, and watermelon). Wifi & AC were good."

The booking thru trip.com was super convenient… I booked this place just for a quick transit and because it is sooooo cheap. Won’t complaint much as I could have a good sleep and wake up fresh the next morning. Hotel provided basic amenities - one mineral water and a soap (small size for traveller). But what I appreciate much is there is someone who opened the door as I arrived around 12:30am after midnight (following the ETS arrival time). Getting the grab to and from this hotel was also easy. There is an iron and iron board for common use downstair - rasa Macam duduk di asrama…

No pictures to share. The location is very good and easy to find. The lounge area is spacious but only has two chairs. The carpet isn't clean enough to sit on. The bathroom is okay, but the toilet isn't clean, and no slippers were provided for the toilet. The pump was broken. The bedsheets and towels smelled sour, as if they hadn't been dried properly. In my opinion, the cube sleeping area is only suitable for small people. Check-in and check-out were easy. Information from the owner was very fast and accurate.

For the price this place is pretty good. We had a private room with shared bathroom. Room was very spacious and AC worked great. Also tv with apps like Netflix and HBO is always a bonus. The bathroom was clean and self check in was fairly easy via WhatsApp and lock boxes. Location is just at the end of the Main Street in George Town so is quiet in the evening. Walls are a little thin but most guests were respectful. WiFi was also good!

The overall experience of my stay was great. The hotel environment was quiet, and the room decor was simple but very comfortable. The bedding was clean, and the hygiene was excellent, making for a very reassuring stay. Every day, coming back to the room felt relaxing, without any pressure. The hotel's surroundings also offered great amenities. There were many food stalls and restaurants nearby with a wide variety of choices, all at very affordable prices. There was no need to specially take a ride to find food. Whether it was for breakfast, lunch, or a late-night snack, meals were easily sorted. With its convenient location, clean environment, and high value for money, it was a very satisfying accommodation experience. If I'm ever in this area again, I would consider staying here once more.

Not great at all. The room was quite small, and the sheets had stubborn stains that wouldn't wash out. The facilities were so old, I'd never seen a water heater like it – it made a weird whirring noise when turned on. And there was no hairdryer in the entire hotel! No hairdryer, I just don't understand!! Luckily, we brought our own toothbrushes and other toiletries because they weren't provided. Paying over 200 RMB on Trip.com for this was really not worth it. It's comparable to a 70 RMB hotel back home. However, to be fair, the location is very convenient, within walking distance to the mural street, Peranakan Museum, and other attractions.

For travellers who travel by train, the location is excellent, walkable to the train station. Why walk when you can get a grab car easily? To walk off all the rich food we eat! The hotel is also within walking distance to the ferry terminal (Penang Sentral). So if you arrive via ferry from Georgetown, no problem! I walked to the ferry terminal to take a ferry to Georgetown! Adding to the convenience, there is a supermarket and self service laundromat near the hotel. The hotel has a lift, which is convenient, if you are assigned a higher floor. No need to carry yourself and your luggage to your room. But no chance to work off the extra calories. I'm not complaining, though Reception is 24 hours. I had to leave very early as I had an early train to catch, but was able to collect back the RM50 deposit. Oh yes, RM2 was collected during check in. Trip.com had informed me at the time of booking, so this is not a surprise to me The room that was assigned to me is spacious. The bathroom is well laid out. Shower on one side, WC on another side and sink in the middle. Shower gel was provided. Shampoo was not provided. It might be because the gadget for the shampoo container was broken. I booked a windowless room. But because it was spacious, I did not miss not having a window. I paid a higher price for my room, I don't know why my receipt showed a much lower price. In summary, I would stay in this hotel again if I go again to Butterworth Pictures 1: Aircon lobby - such a welcomed relief when coming in from the hot and humid weather 2. The hotel's room rated 3. My room rate, which is different from what I had paid in advance to trip.com 4. Door to the bathroom 5. Above the WC, racks for drying wet stuff, very hardy 7.The missing shampoo container 6.The ceiling of the lift - pretty and classy 8. Don't lose your receipt. You need it to claim back your deposit 9. The supermarket nearby 10. The laundromat

A decent option for an overnight stay near the airport. It has good air conditioning, two ceiling fans, a shower with hot water, nice bedding and towels. There's a water cooler with hot and cold water (located in the smoking area), and an iron available at the front desk. They immediately provided a plug adapter at reception upon request. The staff are friendly. A taxi from the hotel to the airport costs 10-15 ringgit. Regarding the downsides: you have to take off your shoes at the hotel entrance, but they provide a shoe locker with a key to keep them secure. I was also given a room whose window faced the reception, specifically it was right behind the receptionist's back, but it was quiet at night and I managed to get a good night's sleep, so that didn't bother me.
