Hanushini suthasan kamran
I booked this hotel for friends, and they really enjoyed their stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very kind and helpful. Everything went smoothly with the check-in, and the location was convenient. I'm happy with the choice and would book it again
It was alright. The location was decent, and getting around Penang by taxi is super convenient. However, it's a bit far from the main tourist attractions. There's a water dispenser on the first floor, which is really handy. I heard there's a really good cake shop nearby, but honestly, the cake I tried was just so-so.
Best experience staying here, especially one staff here Yaseen is very friendly and making the stay much better, sadly it’s the last week he work here, hoping he’s coming back! Thanks for the staff and especially Yaseen!
I stayed in the 8-bed female dormitory and had a very pleasant experience overall.
The room was very clean, and the blanket was soft and smelled fresh. Each bed had its own power outlet and reading light, which was very convenient. The bathroom was decent and well-maintained, with a hair dryer provided. I also appreciated that soap, shampoo, and facial cleanser were available, and the quality of the products was quite good. Slippers were provided as well.
The pantry area was a nice bonus, with complimentary drinking water, tea, coffee, and a microwave for guests to use.
Although this property uses a self check-in system, the staff were very responsive and always replied quickly to messages whenever I had questions.
When I stayed, all 8 beds in the room were occupied, but everyone was very respectful and considerate of others. The room remained quiet, and I had no issues with noise from other guests.
The only small downside was that there are restaurants and bars around the hotel, so music can be heard from outside, especially in the evening. However, I'm not particularly sensitive to noise, so I still slept comfortably throughout the night.
The location is easy to find and convenient to access. Overall, I think this is a great option if you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and budget-friendly place to stay. Good value for money, and I would happily stay here again.
Rating: 8/10 💖
This hotel is really great. For the first time i decide to book Gather Inn, i don't have any expectations. I choose Family Suite for max 4 people (bcs Trip.com give me a discount too hehe) But, the location suprisingly good!!! Pasar Chowrasta, 24 hours Laundry, Bakery, Nasi Kandar Deen Mutiara, Cheng Woh Herbal Store, Toh Soon Cafe, Bagel's Dream, Berlys Lebuh Leith and many places. I also love their hospitality 😭❤️ All the crew are friendly to us. If i got another chance to visit Penang again, i will no hesitate to book this hotel.
The accommodation was clean with comfortable air conditioning. The staff provided excellent service. It's close to a variety of food options, and the price is good. It's quiet, clean, and the rooms are affordable, plus it's near a street food area.
The room was simple; it looked great in the pictures and was decent in reality. The lobby staff was a local Malay person who didn't speak Mandarin. There was a security guard at the entrance. The lobby decor had a chic, boutique feel. It's just a few minutes from Chew Jetty, and public transport is convenient as the hotel is right across from the main bus terminal. I took the bus from here to the airport. They were very friendly because we are Chinese.
I stayed at Swing & Pillows @75 Muntri in a queen-size room and had a good overall experience for the price. The bed was soft and comfortable, the air conditioning worked well, and the shared bathroom was clean. The location is easy to find, with nice streets and surroundings to explore nearby.
I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and fresh the place felt. The facilities are excellent for a budget stay, including a microwave, fridge, water dispenser, and a small kitchen for guests. The room itself was spotless and well-maintained.
However, the walls are quite thin, so noise from other guests can be easily heard, especially doors and footsteps at night. The staircase is also narrow and requires some caution.
Overall, AQ offers great value for money and is a good choice for budget travelers, as long as you don’t mind some noise.
Overall, it was satisfying. The staff were polite and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. If possible, I'd suggest upgrading the TV channels; there were too few options. For guests like us who stay a bit longer, it gets a bit boring because there aren't any good TV programs.
Considering the price, this hotel is reasonable for a short stay. It has all the basic necessities, but if you're looking for something particularly comfortable, it's just okay. The main drawback of the hotel is the soundproofing.
Very Good

龚龚永昕At this price point, it's fantastic value for money. I'd definitely return. Although the location is a bit far from GT, I would still consider it for future stays as it's not far from the commercial area, and transportation is decent.
GGuest UserI'm not sure what to think about this hotel. It has all the essentials (water fountain, ironing board, hairdryer), but the room is poorly soundproofed – you can hear almost everything from outside the windows. There's no elevator, and you have about 10 steps to climb plus more steps to even enter the hotel (which is tough with suitcases and bags). The common areas are extremely hot, and there's no luggage storage (though it was mentioned in the listing, we just didn't see it). On the positive side, the location is great, and check-in was fast. Thanks!
NNikGriОтель заранее списался со мной по Ватцап и оставил инструкциии, как попасть в сам отель и номер, о действиях при выселении. Весьма удобно. Так же в номере хороший WiFi и телевизор с YouTube, впервые за долгий период смог что-то смотреть не с телефона, а на большом экране. Отель находится в удобном месте, для посещения достопримечательностей. Недалеко магазин 7/11 и прям напротив него остановка автобусов. Там же останавливается и бесплатный автобус Сат, на котором можно приехать или уехать к пирсу паромов. Минус дам за толстый слой пыли на абажуре лампы и коробки выключателя света в туалетно-душевой кабинка. Такой слой весьма долго копится без уборки. Сама кабинка мне понравилась. Но опять же, как я понимаю, при включении света должна включаться и вытяжка воздуха. А она не работает, из-за чего кабинка долго не просыхает и держится влага.
PpinkymeowFriendly staffs, clean room and comfortable stay. Giant Supermarket within walking distance very convenient. Restaurant and convenient store just round the corner.
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.
GGuest UserThe young girl staff very polite and friendly
I feel touch
The location is very conveniently
Outside from the hostel just opposite there has many of restaurants and shops
It has different types of food and desserts
The price is reasonable
It’s quite clean
Call grab is convenient also
I think I will be back again

GGuest UserI love the vending machine downstairs! Very convenient for last minute buys. The room was clean and cozy. Had a good warm bath and a nice sleep before the next day's journey!
