1. The room is clean and tidy. It is located in the central area of ​​George Town and is very convenient to go to the surrounding areas. 2. The downside is that there is no hair dryer in the room after taking a shower, and the weather is hot and the room dries quickly. 3. The hostel is close to the "Muslim" church⛪, so there will be "prayer" at night and in the morning, which may affect those who have poor sleep. 4. The front desk service is very good, and there is no need to worry about not knowing how to check in. 5. Penang is really suitable for citywalk, I will come again😀

It is located in Georgetown, so it is convenient to go anywhere. There is a big road in front, so it is easy to call a Grab. The common areas, bathrooms, and toilets are very clean, and the rooms are also neat. When I arrived and took off the blanket, I saw several small pieces of wood on the bed sheet, so I asked for an exchange, and they exchanged it right away. It would have been perfect if they had checked in advance. Thanks to the friendly staff, I was able to have a good time in Penang.

The hotel front desk was very friendly and helpful! The room is large, the public space is surprisingly large, and all facilities are very complete. The only problem is that the sound outside may be noisy at night. Because the floor is a wooden structure, there will be a creaking sound, but the front desk also Ear plugs are provided. The location of the hotel is very good, in the core area, seven, street food, everything is very convenient!

Conveniently located to main attractions in Georgetown, hostel is clean. The ratio of bathroom stalls to occupants felt low, but did not face any issues with having to wait.
