I enjoyed my stay here, the location was ideal for exploring the local George Town area and also convenient for local transport. The room was clean and fine for my needs, although not all rooms have windows and some rooms have shared bathrooms (which was fine for me personally). I did have to contact the manager a couple of times due to incorrectly keying in the wrong code on the sensitive door code entry system but Sutharsan and Junaid (the managers) were very helpful in quickly dealing with this. Thanks for a good stay and for your help!
The hotel is located on nice location close to tourist spots and have many cafes and restaurants around. You will not get bored. And the hotel is look new, clean and minimal.
The staff of the hotel very nice and helpful his name is “Saleem” he’s very helpful and fast response we were talking about the details online and if I need his assistant he is very fast to respond back and friendly also.
I found it quite good and excellent value for money. The accommodation is right across from Chew Jetty, and the street opposite is packed with delicious food, including durian, char kway teow, seafood, and Mixue (an ice cream/drinks chain). It might be due to the heat, but I found all the iced drinks here to be really tasty. Be aware that at night, you might hear motorcyclists speeding, a common occurrence I've also observed in Kuala Lumpur where I am currently. The location is really good and I found it very convenient. A deposit is required, which will be refunded before check-out. The room was also very spacious. Oh, and a heads-up: remember to bring your own travel adapter. There's a convenience store right next door that's also somewhat of a hardware shop, and they sell adapters for about 7.9 MYR each.
Overall, the experience at the hotel was really fun, there are many good features about it, such as the location, and the facilities. And the price is affordable too. Thanks for a wonderful time.
i like this hotel so much. seems like a new hotel. iron and iron board, hair dryer provided in the hotel room. the aircond is so cool, refrigerator also very cool. got many plugs, no need to use an extension. got kiblat arrow but didn't provide a prayer mat. got place to put a luggage and other bags, no need to put on the floor. the bathroom quite big and the water pressure is good. the water heater also works well. this pictures taken before check out. the most i like is the black totebag given in the room which is very rare. hotels normally just give a laundry plastic bag only. overall, i am satisfied with the interior and the facilities provided in the room. just one thing that you can hear sounds and voices from the outside. other than that, everything is good. would love to come again in the future.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff (aized,sutharsan and Mubeen) were very friendly and helpful from check-in until check-out. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. Location is convenient, close to restaurants and public transport. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely stay here again.
I booked a three person room with one single bed and a double bed. I'm very happy with the cosy room and quiet relaxing atmosphere and ample parking place and there is a great food court 50 meters away..
My friends and I stayed for 3 nights in a Family room. Room layout was great, perfect for what we needed for 3 friends, two of whom were working remotely while in Penang. Nice view from the window. The bathroom was a good size - looked to be a handicap accessible bathroom - but no hooks for hanging anything, and the shower head couldn't be moved up high enough, so it was awkward. Good temperature and pressure, though. Hallways were run down and dirty looking. We booked this hotel also for the breakfast option as well, but that wasn't great - ”hot” food was not actually kept hot despite being in chafing pans that could very well have been heated. Toaster was broken on the 2nd day so one friend had cold bread with butter (probably margarine). Breakfast was set to run from 7am to 10:30am; we went down at around 9am the first morning. The noodle dish was already run out, and we were told there would be no more. Coffee was good and hot. It was fine but overall disappointing. It was an okay stay but not great, and I'm not sure it was worth the price paid. I dont think I'd stay again unless some improvements were made.
The hotel is clean. The space is just right for the room size. It can comfortably accommodate two people. The bathroom is clean and has a hair dryer. Drinking water is refillable. You can take the bottle down to the lobby to refill it. Hot water and tea and coffee are provided. The hotel is very close to street food. It's just a short walk to the bus station. Very convenient. I highly recommend it.
Very Good

GGuest UserCertainly! Below is a **detailed, balanced, and constructive review template** for **Hangoutspacez Queensbay** (or a similar budget/co-living space in Penang). Since this isn’t a widely documented property, I’ll structure it generically so you can adapt it based on your actual experience.

### **Hangoutspacez Queensbay – Honest Review**
**Location: ★★★★☆** (4/5)
- **Pros:** Close to Queensbay Mall (5–10 min walk), easy access to restaurants, supermarkets, and public transport. Convenient for business travelers (Bayan Lepas tech zone) or tourists exploring Penang’s south.
- **Cons:** Not in the heart of tourist spots like George Town (requires Grab/taxi).
**Cleanliness: ★★★☆☆** (3.5/5)
- **Pros:** Daily cleaning for common areas; linens provided are fresh.
- **Cons:** Occasional maintenance issues (e.g., slow drain in showers, worn-out furniture). Budget vibe—don’t expect luxury.
**Facilities: ★★★☆☆** (3/5)
- **Pros:** Free WiFi (decent speed), communal kitchen, and lounge area. Good for solo travelers or digital nomads.
- **Cons:** No gym/pool; shared bathrooms can get crowded during peak hours.
**Staff & Service: ★★★★☆** (4/5)
- Friendly and helpful for local tips, but limited 24/7 front desk support.
**Value for Money: ★★★★☆** (4/5)
- Affordable for Penang (around RM50–100/night for dorms). Ideal for short stays, but may lack long-term comforts.
**Room for Improvement:**
1. **Better Soundproofing** – Noise from common areas can be heard in private rooms.
2. **More Power Outlets** – Limited charging points in dorms.
3. **Clearer House Rules** – E.g., quiet hours or kitchen cleanup policies.
**Verdict:**
A **no-frills, social budget stay** best suited for backpackers, solo travelers, or those attending nearby events. Manage expectations—it’s functional but not luxurious.

### **How to Use This Review Constructively:**
- **If You’re a Traveler:** Compare with alternatives (e.g., Tune Hotel, capsule hostels). Prioritize location vs. price.
- **If You’re the Property Owner:** Address cleanliness/maintenance, add clear signage for rules and maybe create any accessible lockers available to utilize the space in the efficient manner.
LLee Hoon ChengThe hotel is ideally located, just 100m across the street from the Jetty. It's also very close to Chew Jetty, surrounded by quaint literary shops and numerous food stalls. The best part is the convenient access; you can catch the free island shuttle or other buses at the main bus terminal right opposite the hotel. From the jetty, you can also take a ferry back to Seberang Perai to catch a train. All in all, the location is excellent.
RRonin tanThe hotel's automatic check-in system is very convenient, the whole process is fast and smooth, there is no need to wait for the front desk, especially suitable for passengers who are in a hurry or like self-check-in. The room was very clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable and well-equipped, making people feel at ease. The overall environment is quiet and the sound insulation effect is good.
There are many restaurants and snack bars nearby, whether it is breakfast, lunch or supper, you can easily find delicious things. The transportation is also very convenient, and convenience stores and shopping malls can be reached on foot. Overall, this stay experience is very satisfactory, I will definitely choose here next time I come to this area!
GGuest UserThis hotel have a spacious and comfortable lobby with some cushion sittings and friendly check in staff..
I've a little but comfortable room with a single bed, and a clean bathroom with two panels sliding glass doors ran along the length of the room wall with the shower at one end, the wash basin in the center n the toilet at the other end.. I would say it's a very nice bathroom for the price of the room.
Plenty of halal n non halal foods stalls n shops just a short walking distance away, and it only takes a 10 minute walk to the KTM train station, the reason I stayed here as i need to catch the 6.20am morning train
GGuest UserI'm on of the hotel corum customer.this time we took a family room with window...but bit noisy because near to road side 🚦. This time we had very old and thin pillows and comfortar. .the bed quite okay..the bathroom latch automatically locked.and also toilet pipe handle stucked sometimes..dust on mirror, coffee table.coffe cup with stain...so I hope the hotel management look into this matter and try to give more comfortable room for us in future.tq..
EErul MaverickThe hotel is located in the housing area. Therefore the parking provided is limited. I've booked one queen bed n one single bed for my family. The cleanliness of the room is impressive and wonderful. However the size of the room is too small for me. It brings a problem for us to pray as we need to pray at the small space in front of the door. So, if one of us is praying then nobody can open the door.

MMOHAMMED ARKAN MAJEEDI had a wonderful stay at this central Penang hotel; the lobby was stunning and the room was very clean, complemented by an exceptionally friendly staff member. For future guests, it's worth noting that a thin ceiling and outside work caused some noise, which a little added insulation could fix. The shared bathroom was functional, though it could use a bit more attention to keep the floor dry. We also appreciated how easy it was to get around from this location.
