Very clean, volunteer very helpful. But soundsproof not that good, even in private room, still can hear noises from outside clearly, but that's hostel, i understand.
It may not be ideal for light sleepers, though they probably wouldn’t choose a hostel in the first place.
The room itself is very good at this price, comfortable bed.

The hostel cleanliness is one of the best I've ever been to. You can see the staffs cleaning the place all the time.
The hostel staffs looked very busy all the time and not very friendly. A local frontdesk lady was quite rude, not only to me and also to other travellers. (I met other travellers in the bus terminal, they(2of them) had same experience too.) Kinda feel like we are bothering them(staffs) when we have any questions.
The volunteer guy from Algeria was very nice and helpful, he was the only helpful guy.
They have a very cute kitty.
Not really social vibe here, probably is because the common space is too huge plus the hostel staffs are not friendly.
Dogs were barking all night.
Would recommend for a clean stay. For me, I wouldn't come back.

A great hostel, it's very clean, you can often see the staff cleaning the place two or three times a day. The travelers here are very nice and everyone is very quiet. This is in the city center of Georgetown, and it is very convenient to go to the attractions and you can walk there. Next time I come to Penang, I will choose to stay here again.

The hostel’s location is good, close to a convenience store and popular travel spots. However, I didn’t like that there was a charge for towels. The stairs were a bit too steep, and the air conditioning was too cold while sleeping, especially when the curtains were closed. The restroom was not separated by gender, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable and awkward.

The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Mural Street and surrounded by incredible street food and attractions.
The hostel itself is clean and well-maintained. The beds were comfortable, and I appreciated the organized co-working space, which made it easy to stay productive during my trip. One of the highlights was the hike they organized to a nearby hill—such a fun and refreshing activity!
I was also fortunate to be there during Christmas Eve, and the hostel hosted an amazing celebration with great food and engaging activities.
This hostel is a perfect choice for solo travelers. The friendly vibe makes it easy to meet new people and form connections.
