"We stayed for 3 nights at Apartment R. The location is strategic, being very close to both the old and new Island Hospital, as well as Northern Heart Hospital. The apartment is equipped with a double bed and a twin bed, a dining table, and a sofa.
**Pros:**
* Excellent location near Island Hospital and NHH.
* Reception accepts GrabFood deliveries.
**Cons:**
* No kitchen sink for handwashing or washing dishes.
* Only basic cutlery provided.
* Limited dining options nearby."

GGuest UserI absolutely do not recommend the shared dormitory rooms here, unlike in Thailand, there's a high chance you'll have Indian roommates in Malaysia. The body odor, without deodorant, completely fills your chest and makes it impossible to sleep. Also, the public toilets and showers lack toilet paper and are quite unhygienic.
The private rooms are fine, though.
The location is fantastic, and the front desk communication is very convenient. I still wouldn't recommend staying in the hostel dorms here.

TTrex clubThe hotel is located in the core low end of Penang. There are supermarkets, restaurants and bus stations at the door. It is very close to attractions. The dormitory beds are clean and sanitary, and the bathrooms and toilets are cleaned every day.

GGuest UserThere are no reviews on this Ctrip, so I was a little nervous when I booked. The overall feeling is good, the location is convenient, the room is classical, and the decoration is more stylish, which generally meets expectations. However, it is not suitable for the old and the young. The rooms are all on the second floor. You have to carry your luggage by yourself, and the stairs are relatively high. In addition, the bathroom is separate from the room. Although it is guaranteed that there is a special room for each room, you may bump into others when you go in and out, so you must be mentally prepared for this. Taking pictures is very photogenic

AAnonymous UserGood hostel close to the center. 15 minutes walk to the ferry terminal. Privacy, well-functioning air conditioning. Good value for money.

AAndré MIThe location is excellent, right in the tourist center. You can get to the airport by bus for 2.7 ringgit. The hotel administration contacted me via WhatsApp before check-in because I was arriving late at night. They sent me the codes for the electronic locks and a video showing how to find my room within the hotel, which isn't entirely straightforward.
The room itself only had a bed, a nightstand, air conditioning, and a table. There was no window. I stayed on the second floor in a room with shared bathrooms. I never had trouble getting a shower, as there are many throughout the hotel. Besides a toothbrush, they also provide earplugs, which is unusual but 100% justified. That's because the partitions between rooms are made of cardboard or plywood, so the soundproofing is terrible. If someone in the next room is getting intimate, you'll be an involuntary witness – which is exactly what happened to me. There's also a mosque nearby, meaning you'll be invited to prayer at 6 AM.
There's a communal kitchen with a fridge, microwave, toaster, water cooler, and dishes. That's convenient.

AAnonymous UserThe hotel is located in a town centre near coffee shop, food court, Chinese restaurant and convenience store such as 7-11 or Watson. There is no hotel name sign beware to walk passed the hotel. The room is small but good enough for us. They are provided shower amenities, hair dryer, in-room television with youtube but No refrigerator inside the room only at the hall area which is not clean. Stairway are small too. Anyway We are highly recommended 😊

Bbenx6135This hotel is an accommodation in Georgetown, Penang. The interiors are old-fashioned, yet amicable. It's close to Little India and other attraction venues in the city, for its price it is an alright choice for budget travelers.

HHafiq HaiqalIf you want to make shared bathroom pls make sure its clean because all people use the bathroom. The room was okay but you can hear people walking since its made from wood. Got few spider web on the ceiling and the room is quite small for the price. If you want to have a short stay maybe its okay but if you want to have long stay you might find other place that have private bathroom and spacious room to walk around. Its not 24hours receptionist bcs when got back around 2am there’s no one at the counter. Overall the place is okay but please replenish and refurbish furnitures to help customer have a good stay at your hotel TQ
