Wow. Best hostel I’ve experienced in Malaysia- by a LONG WAY. Amazing staff and interesting fellow travellers to share stories and ideas with in three areas to socialise: the downstairs work/eating area, the rooftop kitchen and table, and the rooftop seating area.
A beautiful spacious modern building perfectly situated in the historic old city. For me, a big YES was the crisp clean air in the soundproof 36-bed mixed dormitory, the spacious downstairs workspace, the big clean showers and toilets, and the suitably equipped kitchen on the rooftop for making own meals and saving some cash on my 10 week trip through Malaysia. Cold and hot drinks water on tap at two dispensers.
An army of staff and volunteers were constantly at work keeping the floors spotless.
Brilliant management of making the stay comfortable, clean, and safe. Kudos to all involved.
Large two-shelved lockers outside the dorms made keeping things tidy easier.
Excellent value for money.
I am highly unlikely to try anywhere else if I am in Penang again.
An 11/10!

My room was clean, large and with a private balcony and bathroom. The night guard, Mohammed, was friendly and made me feel welcome and safe when I arrived at night. This is like a hostel for adults. Quiet and decent.
Amazing hostel! Super clean, no bunk beds so very comfortable, a laid back environment that allowed you so socialize so much with the other girls at the hostel. MK, the owner, was so friendly I really felt like at home. Air con in the bedroom, towels and comfortable beds. I can’t say anything negative, it was a 10/10!
Great location - you can stroll all through the heritage zone. Beautifully decorated heritage property. Very helpful front desk staff. Very good airconditioning and fan in room. Good sized in-room safe. Nice hot shower and fluffy white towels.
We stayed in the twin room - literally just bunk beds, with blankets (very itchy) and a night stand. Bathroom was stairs, along with cold and hot water available 24/7. There was security overnight which was a nice feeling. We kept our shoes in our room as I read reviews about people’s being stolen but we didn’t feel unsafe here. Great location, not far from Little India with the best food!
I love all about this hotel! the staff is so helpful and the room itself is better than I thought it would be. My room is a bunk bed room yet it is so comfy. I would love to come back to this hotel again whenever I'm in Penang. And the price is actually affordable and I can say it is cheap because everything is only a walking distance. The interior of this hotel is beautiful and the safety is superb too! Thankyou Kooning!!
The hostel was in a great location. Good size room and beds. Security lockers for each bed and a key for the front door so it felt very safe. The lobby in the hostel is nice and there is free cold drinking water available. Not bad for a short cheap stay!
