Hostels in Penang

"The room I get was so cool in design, I really like it"

"I came here with my family. We slept in a private dorm of 6 beds destined to us as a private family booking. The dorm was big with spacious lockers and clothes horses. We had breakfast in the kitchen, there is free tea and coffee and we toasted bread and fried some eggs. There is a large variety of stalls and restaurants to choose between Malay, Indian Muslim, Chinese or Indian food. The Red Garden Food Paradise offers different food stalls and it’s just behind the hostel. Amanda, one of the...

"Owner was personable and friendly- great customer service - great location in little India "

"Helpful happy staff. Great spot with heaps of charm in a central location. It's an older building but well updated and kept. Good aircon and wifi. Ask for a room away from Chulia st though, its really loud. "

"On arrival thought the place was very good, easy checkin, friendly staff, decent sized room etc. Easy walk in the evening to Chullia St Hawker Stalls for a really good meal. All over the hotel there were signs about no noise after 10pm all was fine till 3am when the noise the door banging, running up & down the very old, very noisy stairwell this went on & off till 5am. We don’t expect complete quiet in a hotel at night & do realise people are on holidays but this was the worst I’d heard in...

"At description list have LED TV facilities , but the room in checkin don’t have any TV , felt being cheated . Anyway valued for money and located at hotspot Georgetown area"

"The staff is very welcoming and kind. The lobby downstairs is very comfortable to sit in for long periods. I wish they kept the snacks stocked but I guess that was minor. I really like how the place is decorated and would return if I could stay in one of their very cool private rooms. The wifi was excellent as well."

"Incredibly friendly staff! Quick check-in and very clean room. The location was very central and near where you want to be. "

"Beautiful building. Adequate everything.We were in a private room, so it might be different in the dorms, but we had no complaints. Good quality air-conditioning. Decent shower. Easy stay. Nice reception people."

"Comfortable bed. Decent hot shower. Lockers in the dorm that appeared to be secure. Unusually for a hostel, they provided shampoo and handwash in the showers and bathroom. It's rather spartan but is relaxing and enjoyable. Has most things you need. The one thing lacking was a kettle."

"comfortable place and near to mall"

"Good air con, clean and comfy room, clean WC. However there was flies around the bins in the hallways when people put food in there. Then the flies came into my room and was in my capsule :( there was a lot of dust on the walls too. "

"Overall ok for the price . Double room (private) with shared bathroom .convenient location just that the windows were not sealed properly so it was very noisy . Comfy bed . Room was a bit dusty ..cleanliness could be improved . Friendly service from the counter staff. "

"Could not find the property, clearly this has been a problem for others, even followed the hotels guidance of putting in another building in sat nav, the taxi driver could not find also, ending up paying for a hotel that i could find."

"Just an overnight stay here but my room was better than a lot of hotels I’ve paid double to stay in! Definitely stay here again if I’m in Georgetown. "

"best easy access"

"Whole building and room was very clean and quite. Nice to stay."

"Parking a bit tight, its underground. Lifts are confusing at first with no proper labeling. Huge and clean room, basic amenities. Small window. "

"One of the main light not working, sink water doesn't flow properly - took a long time to drain out, comforter was dirty and told to replace."
