Great Hostel, the staff was nice and the dorm room are good. But the shower are a bit small and the water run low sometimes. Missing a kitchen for those wanting to cook for themselves. Other than that, pretty clean place, and very close to the beach and to the center of Pennang

mériterait un petit rafraîchissement sur la déco/peinture, pas de rideau dans le dortoir féminin, très bon emplacement, calme, petit casier pour un petit sac à dos/ à main mais rien pour le sac de voyage

liked the location, cheap places to eat , great hairdressers close by . Not far from the beach . Don’t like aircon and no aircon in my room .but had a fan , private rooms were quite reasonable price .very clean bathrooms . Only thing was no drinking hot water for tea , or cold water coming out of the cool water machine. Stopped working from time to time . It’s a nice hostel

Beds so uncomfy. Dorm gross. No curtains. No plugs so have to charge ur phone in the middle of the room on an extension cable which sucks if you’re on a top bunk. Social area decent

the dorm was not clean, very loud place and the stuff was very bad, I was too tired from the travel and the receptionist gave me the bed cover and towel cover and told me to make my bed 🤷

Haben uns wohl gefühlt. Nette Menschen kennengelernt. Alles da, was man braucht. Super Lage, zentral und doch etwas abseits der Straße.

It was just good vibes all around. Lots of cute cats everywhere they really do take good care of them. The only thing was that the AC wasnt too strong so a bit hard to sleep at night

Posto carino! L’aerea comune è bella, atmosfera tranquilla. Distributore di acqua calda e fredda. I letti cigolano un poco. Lo consiglio!

Very budget hotel for backpackers. Don’t expect much and you will not be disappointed. Recommend if you are on tight budget. I love all those cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 they have so many of them

Enjoyed my stay here, but it was very quiet. The staff were lovely though and the goat adorable. Lots of cats if you are a cat lover like us. Just FYI check if you room has A/C as ours did not and it was very very hot. If it were busier we would have scored much higher.

The hostel itself is not bad but the owner or manager (not sure) is so so rude!! Don’t go to this hostel! Extremely disrespectful and rassist! This is the first time in my entire life I write a bad review but this time it is important to share my experience:(
