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.

Staff were helpful and friendly, and the lobby was neat and was inviting.
Room was spacious for one guest, and the AC was in perfect condition.
The door was a bit difficult to master.
The shared shower and toilet was not clean.
The toilet bowl and shower was in the same space, and one sink was constantly leaking. Not too happy about that, though considering the price it is understandable. Located in walking distance of the ferry port and close to the Armenian street. Closest ATM is located in that street.
In overall, I think this place is worth the money, and the friends I made during my one night stay made this stay worth it.

The best idea in check-in and check-out methods. I love how clean this hostel. The bad thing is some guests are not understand that they should be quiet in the hostel. But overall this hostel is very recommended. I will stay here again on the next visit 😊

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.

One night over Penang for a short business trip, check in late but owners helper are helpful. Around the corner of this shared living hostel is some dinner place and open till late around 1030pm. There are some live bar for the entertainment if you are not here for work. Amenities is basic and enough for the stay. Important aspect for me is the Aircon which is functioning and is cold.

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.

TTiffany SeidelmanWhen checking in, don't pay the tourism tax again! My payment on Trip.com included the tourism tax, but the counter staff asked me for it again. It took him a while to confirm it in his printout.
I booked for one night and then extended my stay, but changed room in the process. The first room was rather warm, being on the top floor, and the toilet in the first room was about one by two metres. The second room was better in both aspects. However, there was no tissue available, and the toilet paper was of rather low quality.
While the traffic is alright outside of peak hours, there were hardly any stores within a short distance. Gurney Walk would be the nearest place to buy food and water, or exchange money.

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.

SSamantha Hotel located within walking distance to Gurney Plaza shopping complex and restaurants. and u can see there is very big Siam and Myanmar temple at roadside.
