George Town Hostels

This will be my first time experience stayed in Tido Penang Hostel and really like it. The room is quite cosy and comfortable. Each person got one big locker space with key, pillow and mattress, reading light, a plug, blanket and towel. Free WiFi at all floors and in dorm room too. The hostel consist of 5 floors, 1st to 4th floor comes with 5 rooms & 5 individual bathroom & WC. The lounge on 5th floor was big and had great 2 swinging egg chairs and plenty of space over looking the view of the city. There was also a computer if you need to use one. Every floor has a iron and board. The 5th floor comes with books/magazine cupboard, table bench & high chair, soft sofa, a fridge, refillable hot/cold water filter and a small kitchenette. Free breakfast is at 5th floor overlooking the city in the morning that comes with self service toast, 4 types of spread, biscuits, coffee, tea & filtered water. Every shared bathroom is clean and comes with rain shower hot/cold pressure power and shampoo/body wash. The 8 bedded bunk room is clean and spacious and look exactly the same in the booking website. Open air parking is next to Caltex petrol station. All in all, for a price that am paying, I am happy with my stay and highly recommending and suggested this place for those who want to explore Georgetown The service overall was excellent and the facility was fabulous. The location was in a quiet area and very convenient for eating out. Highly recommend Tido.. :)

Strategic location,, close to komtar terminal. Choosing a single room 4D3N because there was a promotional price at that time. For the cleanliness of the room, it was not bad when checking in, but during the stay it was not cleaned. the facilities in the room have TV, but cannot be used (No Signal), there is an electric kettle but it is broken, cannot be used. The fridge works well, the water heater in the bathroom works enough. So far still comfortable, Thank you

I have a very good stay for 4 days at Red Inn Court. The owners are very friendly and always giving smile everytime we meet. Check in process was so easy, even though I didn't get any towel. When check in, you'll be asked for MYR 30 for room deposit. Plus: (+) Hostel is close to Rapid Penang bus stop. From the airport you can get down at Little India (Lebuh Chulia). From this spot or Penang Muzium you can go travel around Penang. It's very close to the hostel, for approximately 5 minutes walking. (+) For you who are Muslim, this hostel is very close to Kapitan Keling Mosque. You can clearly hear adzan (prayer calling) from this hostel. (+) You can find a lot of local cuisine in the surroundings. There are so many food choices you can take to eat. You're advisable to eat Nasi Kandar, Koay Teow, Penang Laksa, Hokkien Mee, Putu Mayong, Pasembur, and Popiah. They're the best quality food in town. (+) This hostel provides you a lot of tourist brochures inside their lobby. Free to take. You can freely take Penang Tourist Map, Penang Tourism Calendar of Events, Marking Georgetown, Penang Street Food, and so many more. By reading those references, I guarantee you wouldn't be lost in Penang. (+) This hostel offers its vintage style, precisely Chinese-vintage-style. I love it. There are so many rooms inside. (+) They serve you free simple breakfast, like bread, sandwich, fruits, etc. Free flow tea and coffee. (+) They have room service, so for you who stay more than one night, don't be worried, they'll clean your room, your bed, your blanket, etc. (+) The room is equipped with fan and air conditioner. It's completely sufficient to make you feel comfortable. (+) Because of its location, you'll be easy to find halal foods nearby. It's also strategic to go everywhere: State Court, KOMTAR, State Museum, Esplanade, City Hall, market, etc. Minus: (-) You maybe find the comments that the receptionist girl are rude. But I don't think so. She's clearly given me helps. I think that she's just ”polite”, not friendly. But the owners are very friendly. You can hire the motorcycle. For you who come from Indonesia or Brunei, the Madame is able to speak Malay/Bahasa. It will help you so much. Don't be hesitant to talk to her. (-) You will not find a large locker. There is a small locker behind your bed. It's small, not too large, but for me it's enough to place your precious belongings. It can only be opened by your own key so don't worry if your possessions can be stolen or not. (-) They have enough shared bathrooms, but there is no hot water inside. By the way, the bathrooms are clean. (-) When you firstly enter your room, you maybe find that it is a little humid/moist inside. I think it is because of air conditioning system. The room is small but the air conditioner is so powerful. (-) Personally, they didn't give me a towel (even though I brought mine). But they did give towels to every guest and I didn't get it. It's like a little unfair, subjectively. My rate: 8/

The bed is very comfortable and the facilities are complete

The location of the hotel is near Island Hospital, just cross the road, the price is in line with the hotel, it's just difficult to find food

The location is very good.The boss was very helpful. The room is like shown on the site.Clean.you get what you pay for.

It is difficult to find it on Google map by relying on cc party hotel. I didn't know until it was in front of it that it was not a strictly hotel. It was for the disco and bar downstairs to prepare for those who had drunk too much. Knowing that all this is also acceptable to live here noisy, not only the noise, the color of the room is also very noisy to make the eyes noisy, this is acceptable, the music in the bar at night makes the room tremble, until 3 am, just dawn I can hear people who drink too much vomiting outside. Everything above is barely acceptable because the staff is very serious, they are all Indians, my first single room air conditioning cooling effect is very bad, the staff did not say anything to change me to a big room (in fact, I paid for two people), He was afraid that I would dislike the air conditioner (because the air conditioners are very old and the wind is not blowing) and moved me a large fan to assist in cooling. But it is strange that the air conditioner is cold enough to make people sick in the middle of the night. The store has one of the biggest and most horrifying injuries, its check-in and its unseriousness, no computer loading, and all sorts of employees taking your passport messages with their private phones. This is completely unacceptable. Later, I asked the female employee who received me check in to delete my passport photo in front of me. She deleted it very happily. She also explained that she did this to send it to the boss, check in, in order to prove that she also showed me other passport photos in her mobile phone. After watching me take a breath of cool air, she has hundreds of passport pages of various skin tones and ethnicities on her mobile phone. At night, another male employee and I reported air conditioning problems, and he showed me the passport messages of thousands of guests on his mobile phone during the small talk. I am completely unacceptable, I don't know how the trip platform reviews such a ”hotel”. Above, give a wake-up call to those who want to book this place.
