Gotta say, the vibe at this hostel is amazing, exactly what you'd expect from an international hostel. There are activities every night, and everyone is so welcoming. It's perfect for young people and those who love to socialize. Just a friendly tip: it's a good idea to bring a pair of slippers! ๐น๐น๐น And they have cats! When I was leaving in the morning, a cat seemed to sense I was alone and came over to keep me company.
It was a breeze to book the hotel. Details were provided promptly to register yourself before they provide the passcodes to enter.
Note that there is no staffs in the hotel. All communications are strictly via WhatsApp and email. Helped a Chinese national to contact the staffs as she has no WhatsApp account. So for foreigners, please note to get the registration done earlier to avoid not able to enter into hotel.
Capsule is quite clean but has a bit of smell. Toilet is ok too. All in all, you get what you pay for.
The room was very large, everyone was quiet and the air conditioning temperature was comfortable. Walking distance from the main attractions of Penang, a few minutes or ten minutes can be reached. The front desk brother is polite and humble.
I really liked staying at this hostel. The owner was very kind, friendly, and always helpful, which made me feel comfortable and welcomed from the moment I arrived. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, and everything was well taken care of. Overall, it was a genuinely good experience, and I truly enjoyed my stay here. I would definitely recommend this place and wouldnโt mind coming back again.
Friendly staff, very clean environment. I was given the exact room which I requested. Amble parking space. The only setback is that the shower area will wet the bathroom after the shower..
Clean room, helpful receptionist, strategic location, clean toilet and pantry. There is laundry shop nearby.
There is nothing that I can complain about. Too comfortable staying here.

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.
I was very satisfied with my overall experience at this hotel! First and foremost, the most convenient aspect was the airport transfer service. The driver was punctual and friendly, making the journey from the airport to the hotel very smooth. I didn't have to worry about transportation or getting lost at all. This service is truly thoughtful, especially for first-time visitors to the city.
The hotel's hygiene was also quite impressive. Whether it was the lobby, elevators, or inside the rooms, everything was meticulously cleaned, and the air was fresh with no unpleasant odors. The bed in the room was soft and comfortable, the bathroom was clean and tidy, and all the towels and amenities were well-stocked, making for a very reassuring stay. The daily cleaning service was also excellent; the staff would proactively clean and replenish daily necessities.
The location was also fantastic. The hotel is situated in a very convenient area with many restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores nearby. You can easily find food or daily essentials within a short walk. Whether you want to try local specialties or just grab a quick meal, it's incredibly easy. Moreover, the hotel is not far from shopping malls and public transportation, making it convenient for taking a taxi or public bus.

Very Good
GGuest UserThis was a temporary stopover near the airport. The environment was, to put it mildly, not great. The shower and toilet weren't separated, and as it's a Muslim household, you can't wear shoes inside, which made using the bathroom quite a hassle. Another issue was the significant noise from the road. However, it was cheap and close to the airport, and the host was very welcoming.

Iisaac_isacWith the economic price of the hostel, it gets everything including shower (not too hot water), room with air cond. (not very spacious) and a simple free breakfast (only toast with jam/butter & watermelon). Good for backpackers and sth need to know in advance: no shoes allow walking up the stairs to rooms (no lift). Hopefully the cold water section of their water fountain will be fixed, so people can have free cool drinking water without buying bottles.
The staffs were nice and got recommended to try mee sotong๐

GGuest UserThe ladies are the check-in counter were very helpful. They explained to us that their system does not allow them to check-in before 3pm but they told us where we can put our luggage first. Overall, I don't have any complaints as 3 in 1 coffee was also provided.
GGuest User(+) Location was good, away from the crowds yet walkable distance to main sights. Bus stop for the free CAT buses is just behind. Easy self check in. Room was nice - comfortable beds & pillows, toiletries and towels provided, there's a lift, and the water dispenser on the ground floor was a bonus. Toilet was clean, shower and drainage good.
(-) There were ants in the room. Walls / windows are not sound proof - could hear conversations next door very clearly and rubbish truck comes at 11pm every night so your sleep will be disturbed. Aircon was leaking but thankfully still working. Fan and TV werent working, but not a big issue.
MM_NABEELThe hotel management is good they do the room cleaning service on time and overall the room are spacious and air condition with free wifi and hot and cold water is also there
GGuest UserWith the price I paid, I'm totally satisfied with everything, water heater in good condition, air cond running smoothly, 2 toilet paper provided with 2 small bar soap..the room and bathroom is clean, kiblat direction, beddings necessities quite comfortable. I just hope the hotel can add more details on their site, mine don't have windows but no complain since we stay for short time. Iron and drinking water provided at the stairs.
