The floors were clean, and the design of the bathroom area is nice. I got into a mild motorcycle accident during my stay, and the hostel manager was very helpful in helping me tape up the wounds. The hostel manager also provided good food recommendations in the area. I also liked how the manager was receptive to suggestions for the hostel.

The apartment is located in a great location. The facilities are simple. It was super clean and so far best accommodation I had in Malaysia on a low budget. The owners were also super nice. When we had an issue they quickly responded, helped and accommodated us. The owner also stepped by to check up on us and gave us a great list of recommendations for Penang.

Very new and nice place, always perfectly clean, roomy and airy lobby. The rooms are small but still very good equipped. It was okay for us to share the bathroom with other rooms because it was always perfectly clean with small private bathrooms, hair dryers, and slippers… in the lobby, there was always some bread and delicious cookies to taste. The place was generally quiet but there were always earplugs prepared for the guests. The bed was basic but comfortable, sometimes a bit noisy when moving but not a big deal. Everything is very well organized here. We received a text message with the codes before our arrival, wifi password and other important information. Shane, the owner of the place were there every day to check if everything is ok and helped us a lot (even after leaving the stay) with our questions about restaurants, places to visit, transportation etc.
