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.

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.

Very Good
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.
GGuest UserThe hotel front desk is very welcoming. The location is very close to the attractions in George Town and the pier for boat rides. There are many Shantou street snacks around. The room is clean and the service is thoughtful. I will choose this place next time.
GGuest UserI was here at a solo female traveler. The owner was so friendly and so courteous she helped me so much and im so thankful for that. I felt really safe in that hostel and the location was great. Everything you need was just a few minutes walk away. The room was clean and everything was organized
Would definitely come again
PPwsyyThe accommodation does not have a reception. You have to contact the accommodation via email only. Check-in must be done via the website. It was a bit busy before the check-in. However, the accommodation has a sample clip to watch. It's not that difficult.
The location is in the center of the city, a tourist zone. You can walk anywhere. I recommend it. (If you come with elderly people, I don't recommend it much because the stairs to the room are quite steep and high.)
The twin bed room is bigger than I thought. It's new, clean, and quiet. I slept very comfortably. The only problem is that the air conditioner is very high. The ceiling is also high, so it cools down very slowly.
The accommodation has wifi, towels, and water/snacks. Very good.
DDr. AAZAM AHAMMEDI had a good stay here.. Location was just right for me.. The space inside the 4-bed dorm was a challenge, but anyways it was afterall a place of rest😊. The safe locker door was big, but the space inside was pretty confusing specially with the charger points inside it.. 🤔I did manage to get my cable through the tiny gap when we close the locker.. If you dont succed in that OMG, you cant charge your devices with the locker closed🤦🏻♂️ and to add on to the dilemma, the locker door opens up on to the pillow as its placed over head of each bed. 😔(May be they planned it thinking of people having to charge their devices safe inside the locker).
Overall I enjoyed it and will definitely recommend😎👍🏻
JJay1606Highly recommended! It’a affordable and yet still offer a good quality space. The overall place is new, clean, and modern. Got outdoor space to sit and relax as well. The toilet is very clean and well maintained. Overall capsule experience was great and comfortable. Located in the city center, it’s so easy to visit nearby shopping malls. If you’re looking for affordable and good stay, i would highly recommend this place.
DdanthetravellerIn the middle of the center of the Old Town Penang & Georgetown.
Pros : self check in / out, easy to handle, affordability, Line or WhatsApp communication instead of phone call, good security, basic yet functional room & amenities.
Cons : Given the self check in/out, certain guests might feel not that convenient, water filter available but no bottled water in the room (for us it was totally fine - the water purifier is COWAY, so we trust it)
What we liked was how affordable the room was.
