Good location in Georgetown,walking distance to Fort Cornwallis and the old waterfront area,fairly close to Komtar (the shopping centre tower),plus plenty of small restaurants,markets,massage places and shops. Clean and tidy,with a basic but reasonable breakfast included.   — Jessica OMalley (2011-11-21) Hostelbookers

A lovely building, despite the simple interior design of the rooms. It is in a great location close to Chinatown but not too near other backpacker places thankfully. Staff are very friendly and very helpful generally, this is my second stay here and it is a very good place. Not the Ritz, but excellent value for money all round.   — Craig Gibson (2011-11-18) Hostelbookers

Bathroom and rooms really clean, very friendly staff. My friend sprained the feet and was very well treated by the staff, which even ordered food from the neighbour restaurant.   — Jan Heineman (2011-10-10) Hostelbookers

The building is beautiful, the beds are comfy, the dorm room is air-conditioned, the shared showers are powerful and hot (literally the best shower I've had in 8 months in Asia!) and the breakfast is simple but nice.   — Katherine Salmon (2011-09-06) Hostelbookers

Free breakfast; reasonably priced for what was offered; clean; good showers; lockers in room; decent room size   — Customer review (2011-06-28) Hostelbookers

Set in a lovely looking building the rooms were quite spacious, clean and included a small but perfectly acceptable breakfast of toast and banana cake with tea/coffee. It is also in a good location to explore the old town and there are plenty of restuarants nearby for the evening, including vegetarian options. Internet worked fine in the rooms   — William Harrison (2011-06-13) Hostelbookers

bags of character - felt like I had stepped back in time and was more luxurious than I expected. friendly staff   — Customer review (2011-06-05) Hostelbookers

Everything was fantastic. The location, the hostel itself and the people we met there. The staff were amazing & looked after us so well, especially Nathan who is fantastic.   — EDRA STRAW (2011-06-04) Hostelbookers

The location is very good; within walking distance of the ferry port and the city centre. Rooms were spacious and clean, and on arrival I was given a locker for my valuables, which you don't always get automatically. Breakfast was included in the price and was adequate to start the day. Staff very very helpful and the hostel was very secure.   — Nargis Ghafoor (2011-04-30) Hostelbookers

We had to cancel our initial booking at this hotel a day before arrival due to getting stuck in Thailand because of floods. The staff were very helpful and agreed to our cancellation without charging our card any further. When we arrived in Penang 3 days later they altered the rooms to ensure we got a twin bedroom for thr previously agreed amount of nights. The hotel was very clean and secure and a 5 minute walk from all attractions in Geirgetown. The communal showers were spotlessly clean and there were enough to go around.   — Customer review (2011-04-04) Hostelbookers

I like the twin room without bathroom, in one side of the house, with a good wireless access, a confortable bed and a lot of light. the staff was very friendly and kind. The breakfast is ok, with cofee or tea, two breads with butter and jam, a sweet and a bottle orange juice. Good location, in the old area of the town close to restaurants and historical buildings and streets.   — Customer review (2011-04-03) Hostelbookers

 Clean, cheap, and free breakfast I was very happy with this hostel after staying at a slightly too spartan place in Penang earlier. This place was clean, cool, comfortable, and within walking distance of anything. The staff were very friendly, and sure the breakfast wasn't all that much, but hey it was included! I'd stay here again.  — Kristian , Australian (2008-01-13)
