The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Mural Street and surrounded by incredible street food and attractions.
The hostel itself is clean and well-maintained. The beds were comfortable, and I appreciated the organized co-working space, which made it easy to stay productive during my trip. One of the highlights was the hike they organized to a nearby hill—such a fun and refreshing activity!
I was also fortunate to be there during Christmas Eve, and the hostel hosted an amazing celebration with great food and engaging activities.
This hostel is a perfect choice for solo travelers. The friendly vibe makes it easy to meet new people and form connections.
This hotel has bigger room than other hotel that ive stayed in Penang. Internet speed here is pretty fast also, so i wont be worried everytime i zooming with my collague.
But, unfortunately its quite far from grocery store to buy fruits & etc
Good location, spacious interior, and the mattresses are changed and washed for each guest. Self-service check-in is also favored by the socially anxious. It would be perfect if there were instructions in multiple languages, after all, I witnessed several people checking in and having trouble.

The hotel says it was converted from a historical building, but what I can't understand is why there isn't even a name on the door. I couldn't be sure even after driving around a few times, and it was difficult to stop and confirm. Although there was an email description, I couldn't confirm from the door that this was the place the email said it was.
The walls of the room are a bit thin, and I can feel it when the residents in the isolation room lean against the wall. The Muslim morning prayer begins at 5 a.m. One of the 4 water heaters was broken, and one was turned on to 55 degrees but still seemed to be 37 degrees. I feel that the overall facilities are rough.
The location of the hotel is very good, right next to love lane. It is a good choice for those who like nightlife. It has to be close to other places as well.
The overall experience was not as good as expected.
You have to pay an extra RM20 for one youngster to share a bed with the parents. My son is only four years old. No towel. The mattress is very spongy and not comfortable at all. It was noisy at night, and I heard something walk across the roof. Monkeys? Rats?? The owner was pleasant and attentive.

JJaycee JjHi . Newly open hotel , i think this one also room for rent monthly . Need to call staff when arriving and got public parking as well. Not a very convenience place but for the price and the cleanliness, is very high recommended. They only provide u soap, so u need to bring your amenities like toothbrush . The towel is for kids size but since I’m travelling w my mom then no issues . Very could and nice place for a short stay. Below at morning time got the nasi lemak viral for rm1, and the green thai tea also very delicious .
KKhairulA comfortable hotel with a unique design, an attractive atmosphere, a few walks away from attractions, and good service. However, the location of the hotel is very close to the hustle and bustle of the road, and the hotel floor is made of wood, which makes the comfort of the room a little disturbed by the rather loud noise. Maybe this hotel is not suitable for people who are light sleepers, but it is a very good hotel for others, besides the relatively cheap price. Thumbs up.
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.

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.
AAnonymous UserThe receptionists are very friendly. Location is good. Price is reasonable. Overall is very recommended. Everything is good. I couldn’t find a single thing that I dislike so far. Everything just good for me.
