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 hotel was just renovated, so everything is new, including the bed, pillows, and sheets. I arrived early and the manager let me check in early. The hotel is self-checking and uses watsap 24 hours online. You will get a direct reply. The environment is good and the price is not bad. It is in the center of George town. I stayed in the youth hostel because the hotel is new so not many people know it. I was lucky to live alone and it was very quiet.

I recently stayed at the YMCA Hotel in Penang, and overall, my experience was quite satisfactory for a 2-star establishment. Overall, If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option in Penang with a central location, YMCA Hotel is a solid choice. It’s perfect for travelers who prioritize location and affordability over luxury. Just manage your expectations regarding the room’s aesthetics and amenities.

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.

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.

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.

AAlaosuoniFacilities: Although relatively simple, you can feel that the store is full of care and has everything you need. Hygiene: Very clean, I feel like home in this environment Environment: Surrounded by Little India, you can walk more than 100 meters to the beach to see the sea. There is a ferry on the other side of the sea. Service: The service is very good. The boss personally helps you with your luggage, and also asks if you want an omelette. He also gives you an Indian pancake to try, which is very considerate.

JJIReally great! The location is not in the tourist area, but there are many delicious nearby (recommended green house shrimp noodles, next to the famous bakery shop in Penang), there is also a big supermarket giant, it is even more difficult at night, there will be several at the door The stroller stalls are frequented by locals. I walked for 20 minutes, I was walking, but I could take the bus from the light to the door. The Youth Hostel is very, very clean, the bed will not feel stuffy, the space is super large, although it is 16 people, but the number of guests will not be many (probably because it is the most expensive in the Youth Hostel), I lived for two days. About 6 people. The only thing that is not used is that the whole store is barefoot, but many youth travellers do.

SSweetiiyThe accommodation is convenient. You can travel from the pier right away. It is near the fishing village. There is a loklok near the hotel. You can easily walk to street art. It is just behind the hotel. The location is very good. However, the accommodation does not provide drinking water. You have to buy it yourself. At first, it was confusing because the accommodation was newly opened. It is easier to pin the location as SAVV hotel. It will be nearby, but not there. You can walk to find the building according to the comments below.

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.

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.
