"Despite the old building, my 2-nights stay experience was very comfortable. The host was very welcoming & warm. The location is situated at a narrow street so parking was a bit difficult but you can visit many interesting places within walking distance."

GGuest UserA 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.

GGuest UserI've been staying at this hotel for three days now, and I'm here for another night. It's a bit noisy though, the soundproofing isn't great, so I need sleeping pills to fall asleep. However, the value for money is excellent, and the location is fantastic, very convenient for taking the ferry as it's just a few hundred meters away.

RRonin tanI 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.

GGuest UserU can feel shaking of the building when the bus or truck pass by the main road, hopefully no earthquake at Penang. Else idk how is this herritage house can stay still.
Many mosquitoes even bed area. l unproposely drop my face mask to the below bed, then when i try to get in under the bed, when i lifted can u guess how many dust colonies there. Lol.
The bedsheet, hopefully they wash but i feel itchy during my stay n seems dusty.
The toilet n shower - - consider so so, with limited soaps. No Towel for free use, need pay 10 rm.
The breakfast hm.. Idk why they no go refill the watermelon while only left 35n still within breakfast hour.
No lift, but u can out luggage at lobby.
The best is the location!! The harmony line. The price is you get what it is! For backpacker yes!

SSarocha RattanaPros:
- The bed was soft and comfortable, I slept really well.
- The air conditioning was super cool.
- The water heater worked well and the water pressure was strong.
- Toothbrushes, shampoo, shower gel, and towels were provided.
Cons:
- This is a small dormitory-style accommodation. The first floor requires climbing rather steep and high stairs, which is not suitable for the elderly or those with heavy wheeled luggage.
- The room had no windows and was very small and compact. The room itself was quite old.
- The pillow was too soft and flimsy, making it uncomfortable to sleep on.
- The air conditioner was incredibly loud, the loudest ever!
- The room was not soundproof at all. I could clearly hear conversations and snoring from the next room. This is not suitable for light sleepers, as the noise disturbance could cause frequent awakenings and insufficient rest.
Personally, I slept comfortably, but I was a bit annoyed by the snoring.
There's a deposit of RM50, or you can pay in your own currency, which is returned upon check-out (no receipt provided for the deposit).
There's also a Heritage Fee of RM4.
The service was excellent! The staff member named Subait was lovely and provided great service.
The location is quite quiet and not bustling, a little far from Chulia Street and Lb Lane, but close to the jetty.

뭉뭉수리I checked in on Thursday and checked out on Friday, so I stayed for one night. I checked in late at night, basically just slept, but since it was such a short stay, I didn't find anything particularly inconvenient. Even though there were many people in the room, the space was wide enough that I didn't have to cram my luggage, and there were outlets that worked with Korean chargers... So the overall feeling of the hostel was decent. There was also a busking performance on Thursday, which really made it feel like a trip, and that was nice.

GGuest UserBefore your stay, make sure to contact the host in advance and send them your booking confirmation from your email. They will then provide you with the entrance door code and room password. You can easily communicate via WhatsApp or WeChat, as the host speaks both Chinese and English. Please remember, absolutely no smoking in the rooms!

GGuest User1. Location is good. Within walking distance can reach some of the famous spots.
2. For first time guest, it will find difficult to enter to the hostel reception area. The bell not functioning so will need to find the side entrance to go in (need to explore as no indicator show).
3. Did not provide towel. A rental basis which I found that “hostel” should at least provide one and if to renew then charge. For short-term stay do not expect will bring towel.
4. Saw their notice on luggage storage charge and late check-in after 10pm. So does it mean those flight in late better don’t book this hostel.
5. As the hostel just near to the road side so it is clearly hear the motorist and vehicle sounds; very clear as if no reduce of noise at all.
