Gotta say, the vibe at this hostel is amazing, exactly what you'd expect from an international hostel. There are activities every night, and everyone is so welcoming. It's perfect for young people and those who love to socialize. Just a friendly tip: it's a good idea to bring a pair of slippers! 😹😹😹 And they have cats! When I was leaving in the morning, a cat seemed to sense I was alone and came over to keep me company.
If you stay during a time with good guests, you are lucky and it is a gamble. If you encounter a loud and rude roommate, it is your bad luck. The accommodation is new. Clean. But it is difficult to control the bathroom smell because there are many types of guests staying together. But there are many bathrooms. The shower and toilet are in the same room. The capsules are wide, there is a fan inside, and the air conditioner is very cold. Checking in is a very new experience for me. Check-in by yourself and get advice from the staff to manage via the accommodation's What's App. The process is quite confusing for a beginner. But in any case, it is considered good overall and for a room at this price.
The room was very large, everyone was quiet and the air conditioning temperature was comfortable. Walking distance from the main attractions of Penang, a few minutes or ten minutes can be reached. The front desk brother is polite and humble.
The hostel is situated at a good location. There is a pool table free of charge, which is super nice. There are a couple of things. I would say the staff speaks English, but it's sometimes hard to understand what they're saying.
You have to get a little bit acquainted with the staff if you stay several days, and you try to have a little love with them; they actually start to open up and become very helpful.
Friendly staff, very clean environment. I was given the exact room which I requested. Amble parking space. The only setback is that the shower area will wet the bathroom after the shower..
Clean room, helpful receptionist, strategic location, clean toilet and pantry. There is laundry shop nearby.
There is nothing that I can complain about. Too comfortable staying here.

Very good, cost-effective, complete facilities, sound insulation can be improved a little, very suitable for backpackers, next time I will consider staying here, very convenient in the city center.
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.

Moreover, the hotel is not far from shopping malls and public transportation, making it convenient for taking a taxi or public bus.

HHusin AlatasHad a nice stay at the hotel. I was in transit so only needed the hotel for a few hours to catch a nap and shower.
The place is new, you can smell the new shower. You get a nice large space with 2 ceiling fans and an AC that works really well. It seems like a home converted into a hotel where you leave shoes off and kept in a locker before you enter the property. They have cold, warm and hot water machine.
My only issue is that throughout the night there were some machine noises going on. So be aware if you are sensitive to sound whilst sleeping.
Oh, although they have no lift, the front desk kindly offered to carry my bags to the 2nd floor which was a pleasant touch to my experience.

Iisaac_isacWith the economic price of the hostel, it gets everything including shower (not too hot water), room with air cond. (not very spacious) and a simple free breakfast (only toast with jam/butter & watermelon). Good for backpackers and sth need to know in advance: no shoes allow walking up the stairs to rooms (no lift). Hopefully the cold water section of their water fountain will be fixed, so people can have free cool drinking water without buying bottles.
The staffs were nice and got recommended to try mee sotong😄

AAnonymous UserGood customer service👍🏻 We has been delayed to check in after the reception working hours due to some personal issue, but the customer service of hotel was helping us to arrange for other ways to check in when we arrived. Have a short stay here, forget to take photos of the room. Location of hotel is good, able to take grab easily.
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.
MM_NABEELThe 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
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.
