I recently stayed at the YMCA Hotel in Penang, and overall, my experience was quite satisfactory for a 2-star establishment. Overall, If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option in Penang with a central location, YMCA Hotel is a solid choice. It’s perfect for travelers who prioritize location and affordability over luxury. Just manage your expectations regarding the room’s aesthetics and amenities.

Staying here is very suitable and fits the needs because it is right across from the Island Penang Hospital. Breakfast is quite delicious and unlimited portions. There are sports facilities on the 2nd floor which are quite crowded and restaurants are also close to the location. Unfortunately there is no special price for those who stay more than a week, for some reason.

Rubbish hotel, especially rubbish. I advise everyone not to stay here. They don't even provide the most basic toothbrush, toothpaste, and slippers! It's very inconvenient to eat around, and there are all kinds of extra taxes! 😅😅😅
