Hostels in Penang, Malaysia

This was a temporary stopover near the airport. The environment was, to put it mildly, not great. The shower and toilet weren't separated, and as it's a Muslim household, you can't wear shoes inside, which made using the bathroom quite a hassle. Another issue was the significant noise from the road. However, it was cheap and close to the airport, and the host was very welcoming.

The hotel's location is excellent and easy to find. My room was a bit close to the road, so it was quiet at night but a little noisy during the day. The rooftop is also a great spot for drying clothes.

I was very satisfied with my overall experience at this hotel! First and foremost, the most convenient aspect was the airport transfer service. The driver was punctual and friendly, making the journey from the airport to the hotel very smooth. I didn't have to worry about transportation or getting lost at all. This service is truly thoughtful, especially for first-time visitors to the city. The hotel's hygiene was also quite impressive. Whether it was the lobby, elevators, or inside the rooms, everything was meticulously cleaned, and the air was fresh with no unpleasant odors. The bed in the room was soft and comfortable, the bathroom was clean and tidy, and all the towels and amenities were well-stocked, making for a very reassuring stay. The daily cleaning service was also excellent; the staff would proactively clean and replenish daily necessities. The location was also fantastic. The hotel is situated in a very convenient area with many restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores nearby. You can easily find food or daily essentials within a short walk. Whether you want to try local specialties or just grab a quick meal, it's incredibly easy. Moreover, the hotel is not far from shopping malls and public transportation, making it convenient for taking a taxi or public bus.

I stayed for 3 nights! The room felt quite clean since shoes weren't allowed inside. The wet areas were also cleaned several times a day! For breakfast, there was toast with two kinds of jam, butter, and watermelon. For the price, I can't complain, haha. There's also a water dispenser for both hot and cold water! Be aware that outside noise can be an issue and a lot of mosquitoes get into the room, so you'll need to take precautions! The air conditioning works perfectly! Oh, and there was a cat meowing constantly, haha.

Cleanliness: Extremely clean, cleaned promptly, even cleaner than my own home. Facilities: The drying rack for clothes was excellent, and there's a study room. Safety: Very safe, with 36 people in the room, there's no way anything could go wrong. Environment: Not on a main road so it's very quiet, and the guests are also very considerate.

The staff at the hotel is so friendly and welcoming. Excellent service. The room is spacious, clean and bed very comfortable.  Walking distance to Gurney drive and Gurney promenade. Early morning watch sun rises over the horizon. The promenade is big and clean. People jogging.  Food court nearby.  Hotel 22 is the most colourful hotel in the area and can be seen from a distance.  Would recommend anyone to stay in Hotel 22 if they are on the budget.

Considering the price, this hotel is reasonable for a short stay. It has all the basic necessities, but if you're looking for something particularly comfortable, it's just okay. The main drawback of the hotel is the soundproofing.

The hotel management is good they do the room cleaning service on time and overall the room are spacious and air condition with free wifi and hot and cold water is also there

Overall, my stay was satisfactory. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy. There were a couple of minor downsides: I was disturbed by the sound of water flowing through the pipes and the elevator noise while I was trying to sleep. Also, the trash can was too small and couldn't hold much garbage; I suggest getting a medium-sized one. Lastly, one of the panel doors in the bathroom was broken and couldn't close properly, so I recommend replacing it.

With 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.
