All the staff including the owners were very nice and helpful. The room where I stayed had private bathroom with a hand held shower but no place to take shower. The room can use some hangers as well.

This is value for the money you pay. We had a small room without a window but with our own bathroom. Breakfast is basic, would have appreciated fresh cooked eggs not two hours cold. Also something other than cocoflake cereal, brown bread would be great as would some ketchup. The location is fine in the old town.The staff mostly sit and look at their phones but did help when asked.

Clean and central!
Great little hostel. Just off chulia street. Lots of cool little bars/restaurants around. Close to most things, night food markets, little India, China town. Free breakfast is really good! Lots of Roti :) Clean too.

Kind staff, simple room, good breakfast
We stayed 3 nights here in room no. 2. The room is pretty basic but clean. There are patches on the wall, which is not a problem for us. The room is not acoustic-proof at all, which means you will hear guests talking in the next room and because our room is on the road side it's very very noisy. So i suggest you should avoid road-side rooms if possible. The shared bathrooms is very small, about 3 meter square, with toilet inside so there is limited space to take shower. The reason I still give them four stars is that the staff is really kind and helpful. They assisted us to book our ticket to Langkawi without charging extra fees (70rm/person), and gave us really helpful information on where and how to go. The location of the hotel is also good, most city attractions are within 1 mile. The breakfast was tasty. Plus, there are 2 very good restaurants just next to the hotel. In short, Pros: 1. Kind staff 2. Good location 3. Budget choice 4. Good breakfast Cons: 1. Not sound-proof. 2. Small shared bathroom.

Great location
Very strategic location with variety food and place to visit near by the area. The only one thing that i dislike is the toilet, there are toilet bowl with the shower together. should separate both them categories for my opinion. i don't might pay a litter extra if they can separate the toilet bowl and the shower but i'm satisfied with overall service provided. reasonable price.

Second time
Perfect place to stay if you want to be in the heart of Georgetown. The staff are very friendly and offer lots of good advice about what to do in the area. the room is simple but does the job. The only thing I would change are the shared bathrooms which are very basic.

Bad Luck, or not sure?
Being assigned to a store room modified room, which is poorly renovated, and just right beside the bath room and toilet, no ceiling, no windows. quite disappointed on it, as the photos show in Expedia is so beautiful, maybe i am not good luck, and get the worst room. However, the breakfast is nice even thought not many options available.

Nice heritage hotel
Very nice and helpful staff, I really appreciated all their help they would even plan out our day for us a d how to get to places using the bus. The shared bathroom I got freak some out, but there's actually 5 of them and they're well maintained as the rooms are. It's a cosy nice place e wit a really delicious breakfast. However it's not a luxurious resort area like batu ferenngi. I would come back again if I e er go to penang.

Budget stay with a budget quality.
The hotel is a historic building with a restaurant on the first floor and rooms on the second. The rooms are relatively clean but small and the walls are thin (so it makes it awkward when other guests are being loud). The bathrooms are separate/shared so keep that in mind when booking. The location is pretty decent with a lot of restaurants, close to the ferry terminals, and near the historic section of the city. Overall, it is cheap and you get what you pay for.

Budget hotel in the heart of old Penang.
Looking for a hotel close to the local food, local people. Recommended to low budget traveller who do not mind public washrooms.
