Best hostel I’ve stayed in. Huge dorm. 36 beds. ( smaller dorms available). But you would never realise this as they are nicely spaced out and guests are respectful to the rules. Bathroom great. Showers fine. Lots to participate in reception area and great chill area with bean bags. Hikes, film nights, quiz, pool table. They do all sorts and you only have to put your name down on the board. There is no pressure. Staff are great. Super friendly and place is clean. Team work well to maintain this. Real good place to sit and chat with people or join them to create new memories. Highly recommend this place. Fantastic location

Staff were helpful and friendly, and the lobby was neat and was inviting.
Room was spacious for one guest, and the AC was in perfect condition.
The door was a bit difficult to master.
The shared shower and toilet was not clean.
The toilet bowl and shower was in the same space, and one sink was constantly leaking. Not too happy about that, though considering the price it is understandable. Located in walking distance of the ferry port and close to the Armenian street. Closest ATM is located in that street.
In overall, I think this place is worth the money, and the friends I made during my one night stay made this stay worth it.

The hotel was just renovated, so everything is new, including the bed, pillows, and sheets. I arrived early and the manager let me check in early. The hotel is self-checking and uses watsap 24 hours online. You will get a direct reply. The environment is good and the price is not bad. It is in the center of George town. I stayed in the youth hostel because the hotel is new so not many people know it. I was lucky to live alone and it was very quiet.

Staying here is very suitable and fits the needs because it is right across from the Island Penang Hospital. Breakfast is quite delicious and unlimited portions. There are sports facilities on the 2nd floor which are quite crowded and restaurants are also close to the location. Unfortunately there is no special price for those who stay more than a week, for some reason.

The best idea in check-in and check-out methods. I love how clean this hostel. The bad thing is some guests are not understand that they should be quiet in the hostel. But overall this hostel is very recommended. I will stay here again on the next visit 😊

One night over Penang for a short business trip, check in late but owners helper are helpful. Around the corner of this shared living hostel is some dinner place and open till late around 1030pm. There are some live bar for the entertainment if you are not here for work. Amenities is basic and enough for the stay. Important aspect for me is the Aircon which is functioning and is cold.

I was here at a solo female traveler. The owner was so friendly and so courteous she helped me so much and im so thankful for that. I felt really safe in that hostel and the location was great. Everything you need was just a few minutes walk away. The room was clean and everything was organized
Would definitely come again

JJaycee JjHi . Newly open hotel , i think this one also room for rent monthly . Need to call staff when arriving and got public parking as well. Not a very convenience place but for the price and the cleanliness, is very high recommended. They only provide u soap, so u need to bring your amenities like toothbrush . The towel is for kids size but since I’m travelling w my mom then no issues . Very could and nice place for a short stay. Below at morning time got the nasi lemak viral for rm1, and the green thai tea also very delicious .

AAnonymous UserThe hostel sits on the perimeter of little India. It might have seen its better days.
While the bed is fluffy and clean, bathroom is always flooded with water and difficult to place a foot.
Given the price, it is till a good choice and I would not complain at all.

TTiffany SeidelmanWhen checking in, don't pay the tourism tax again! My payment on Trip.com included the tourism tax, but the counter staff asked me for it again. It took him a while to confirm it in his printout.
I booked for one night and then extended my stay, but changed room in the process. The first room was rather warm, being on the top floor, and the toilet in the first room was about one by two metres. The second room was better in both aspects. However, there was no tissue available, and the toilet paper was of rather low quality.
While the traffic is alright outside of peak hours, there were hardly any stores within a short distance. Gurney Walk would be the nearest place to buy food and water, or exchange money.

GGuest User(+) Location was good, away from the crowds yet walkable distance to main sights. Bus stop for the free CAT buses is just behind. Easy self check in. Room was nice - comfortable beds & pillows, toiletries and towels provided, there's a lift, and the water dispenser on the ground floor was a bonus. Toilet was clean, shower and drainage good.
(-) There were ants in the room. Walls / windows are not sound proof - could hear conversations next door very clearly and rubbish truck comes at 11pm every night so your sleep will be disturbed. Aircon was leaking but thankfully still working. Fan and TV werent working, but not a big issue.

GGuest UserWith the price I paid, I'm totally satisfied with everything, water heater in good condition, air cond running smoothly, 2 toilet paper provided with 2 small bar soap..the room and bathroom is clean, kiblat direction, beddings necessities quite comfortable. I just hope the hotel can add more details on their site, mine don't have windows but no complain since we stay for short time. Iron and drinking water provided at the stairs.

SSamantha Hotel located within walking distance to Gurney Plaza shopping complex and restaurants. and u can see there is very big Siam and Myanmar temple at roadside. The only bad things for this hotel is opposite have a Muslim temple which morning very noisy and room can hear vehicles, roadside noisy sound a bit disturbing while sleeping.
