House of Journey

Lovely staff who were very helpful. Air con wasn’t fully working on day 1 and as soon as they noticed they made sure to quickly fix. Includes free toast breakfast with many spreads as well as free cold water refill. There was also an AC room in the day to chill if hot; a feature we have found lacking in other hostels. In addition to a table football game and pool table in the social area. Only downside would be no curtains on the beds.

I had an amazing stay there! The perfect mix of social, comfort and good vibes, I’d recommend to anyone going to stay in Georgetown

Good location and very friendly staff. I was the only female in a dorm with just men and one was behaving weirdly and made me feel uncomfortable. Because there is no curtains no privacy in the beds. I left after 1 night. Staff was so nice and helpful and offered me a refund. Cannot fully give my opinion as i was not there for long. Overall atmosphere seemed very nice and friendly

Awesome hostel with great vibes!! No AC in the common area so gets a bit hot but the social atmosphere makes up for it. Not overly party-focused but in a good way, hangouts every night and free activities like trivia and pool tournaments. They still host pub crawls which are free and fun though! Only drawback is the lack of curtains and AC in the bunks during the day

A hostel run by ever changing volunteers, the vibe is very fun and relaxed, if not lacking an actual staff member. The hostel has a range of rooms (with no curtains) and plenty of social spaces, as well as fantastic daily social events, making the stay very memorable and fun overall.

This hostel was super friendly. I loved hanging out with everyone I met here. Great variety in activities. Not party vibes which is perfect for me

Mega Hostel! Ich hatte 3 Nächte gebucht, am Ende wurde es 3 Wochen als Volunteer.. :) kann die Stadt und das Hostel nur mehr als empfehlen. Hostel generell sehr sauber, viele Toiletten außerhalb der Räume, angestellt sind super nett, Pooltabel, Common area mit AC und immer auf der Suche nach Volunteers.

Loved this hostel to bits!! Met some amazing friends here. Such a social vibe without it being too party (though u could def party if you wanted to) Yes the lack of curtains was a bummer but it was ok. Showers and facilities were very average but the fun I had makes up for this!

great hostel!! the staff was really nice and the location was super central. With all the activities they had it was very social and I met some great people there. Definitely recommend!!

Had a great stay here, a very social hostel and they host activities every day.

Had a great stay at HOJ! The vibe was great - lots of amazing people. The common areas are great and make the hostel quite social, events every night too. Only downside is the doors to the dorm shut loudly and the walls/floors are thin so it can be noisy at times.

Great place to stay if you want to explore the old town, party at backpacker bars and meet a bunch of people. The hostel is located in a heritage building but has modern security. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and there is always an activity to do everyday. The free breakfast is pretty good, and the bunks are comfortable. The lockers are big enough for a medium sized backpack. The location is a major advantage. It is right on Chulia Street where you can get local street food, mer...

Sound as a pound

Weird atmosphere when I was there - seemed like there were more volunteers than guests and the volunteers were quite cliquey/not welcoming. Free breakfast but it’s basic (toast). Room was ok, but didn’t have a window

Really nice little hostel with an amazing manager and lovely volunteers that will make you feel at home 🤗. It's clean, you have some great areas to chill and socialise. If you want to have some time for yourself, the rooms are quiet. A very wholesome place 🤗

Great stay at this social hostel in Penang! I arrived late for check-in, but the staff gave me clear and easy self-check-in instructions, which made everything smooth. Even though I checked in late, they were still very nice and helpful. The hostel has a great social atmosphere — easy to meet other travelers. Downstairs, there are lots of street food options, and the hostel also organizes many fun night activities. Highly recommend for solo travelers!

hostel is super cool. the volunteers were great, including Inês, Shay and Sadia. the pub crawl was very fun. would deffo come back, great vibes 😎

House of Journey is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. When you first walk up its narrow staircase you’re immediately struck by its unique and friendly character. It’s a perfect location for getting out and about in the town and the street outside is full of food stalls at night. Our stay was made very special by the amazing volunteer staff, who were always incredibly helpful with their recommendations and at creating a very social atmosphere! Made some great friends and memories here

het was sociaal en gezellig. vond het niet schoon en er waren ook geen gordijntjes

Great social hostel, the staff is super friendly ! However curtains in the dorm would be a huge +
