2-Star Hotels in George Town

Hotel location is excellent in the middle of town, is a old hotel but is clean. If talk about services is totally very very veryyyyyyy bad. The front desk uncle very hot temper. We just request room for same floor with my friend but this guy rejected us in very bad attitude.

Un-assuming hotel by Weld Quay Road, Georgetown, Penang. Surprisingly neat, clean, quiet and nice by a traveller's standards. The bath system is awesome with a Rain- shower head that spouts a really strong jet of water- truly satisfying. It has a metal kettle as opposed to fibre glass-hard plastic that's usually found in most hotels- definitely a plus point. Best of all, it's within walking distances to all the food outlets & watering holes that Penang is famous for. Lastly, the room rate is reasonable, with breakfast thrown in for good measure! Highly recommended for travellers that are somewhat fussy like me....

The room is enough, friendly and helpful staff, necessary amenities, clean and tidy as well as really safe! Affordable prices in the heart of Gurney Drive itself. Walking distance to 2 famous malls (Gurney plaza and Gurney Paragon), as well as petrol station and eateries just a stroll away.

Was only here for one night but wouldn’t mind to stay here if my trip is a longer one. A basic hotel off the Mcallister street where food and convenience galore. Stayed on the 3rd floor. While the room is small ( I travelled solo ) but it is enough for me as I only need a clean and comfortable place to lay head to rest and have a good shower. Bed and pillow are clean and comfy. Sheets and towels are clean. Water pressure is good with heater facility. Basic toiletries provided : shower gel, shampoo, toothbrush and shower cap. Security is good too where u can only access your floor with your access card. Ironing board upon request and water dispenser at the lobby. P/s : my room is without window.

The location is quite strategic as it is very near to the shopping malls like Komtar, 1st Avenue and Gama. The room is spacious and comfy. The only complaint would be the lack of street lamps in the area at night which would discourage any adventurous guests to venture out on foot to the nearby shopping malls at night.

For sure it’s not easy find a place so lovely. The family carrying on this place is absolutely great, helpful and kind as much as is possible. Yea maybe the breakfast is not the best you can have, but it’s fine, you can have homemade jams and kaya with bread, make your porridge, free coffee all day long if you want, tea, fresh water... but Isn’t nice when you stay in a place and the owners are always smiling at you and disposable for eeeeverything you need? Even take you out for the night Chinese ghost festival, or how was it called. They are happy to have you here and you will be happy to stay. The dorm was very clean, with curtains for the very comfortable beds, where you could feel as you are in a small private room inside. Definitely highly recommended.

This will be my first time experience stayed in Tido Penang Hostel and really like it. The room is quite cosy and comfortable. Each person got one big locker space with key, pillow and mattress, reading light, a plug, blanket and towel. Free WiFi at all floors and in dorm room too. The hostel consist of 5 floors, 1st to 4th floor comes with 5 rooms & 5 individual bathroom & WC. The lounge on 5th floor was big and had great 2 swinging egg chairs and plenty of space over looking the view of the city. There was also a computer if you need to use one. Every floor has a iron and board. The 5th floor comes with books/magazine cupboard, table bench & high chair, soft sofa, a fridge, refillable hot/cold water filter and a small kitchenette. Free breakfast is at 5th floor overlooking the city in the morning that comes with self service toast, 4 types of spread, biscuits, coffee, tea & filtered water. Every shared bathroom is clean and comes with rain shower hot/cold pressure power and shampoo/body wash. The 8 bedded bunk room is clean and spacious and look exactly the same in the booking website. Open air parking is next to Caltex petrol station. All in all, for a price that am paying, I am happy with my stay and highly recommending and suggested this place for those who want to explore Georgetown The service overall was excellent and the facility was fabulous. The location was in a quiet area and very convenient for eating out. Highly recommend Tido.. :)

On the plus side: - Great location in little India, right across the street from Kapitan restaurant which is open 24h and has great food for a decent price. Just a short walk away along Chulia street is Chinatown with street food stalls and the nightlife of Love Lane. - WiFi was very good On the minus side: - The room provides no sound isolation whatsoever from the heavily trafficked Chulia street, and to make matters worse, the nearby mosque likes to crank up the volume on the speakers during their calls to prayer. Make sure to bring ear plugs if you are planning to sleep. - The hostel did not provide toilet paper for the room, which was a first during all my travels. - The room rate was marketed as including breakfast, which it technically did, but it was a joke: it consisted of a glass of coffee and two slices of toast joined together by a razor thin layer of jam. Considering that the hostel is managed by an actual restaurant (where breakfast is also served) it's pretty obvious that this puny breakfast is only a way to game the system om booking sites. They could easily provide a decent breakfast instead. - The room was marketed as having a desk, but it did not have one, and the electric outlet was so far from the bed that there was no convenient way of using a plugged-in device. - The aircon was not adjustable. It was operated with just a button; on or off.

- The price is considered cheap for long stay - Bad wifi, not really able to send out messages nor watch videos. But some days are still alright - Spacious room - Air-con's remote was out of battery, wasn't able to alter the fan, swing.. Etc. - pillow is too hard and high :( It's not bad honestly, just some things should be done better. Can't say much due to the affordable price for such a long stay though

I booked for twin room but the hotel gave me double bed with one single which surprise me with a view window so it's really convenient. The receptionist is also friendly . I would recommend to stay here again for my next trip 😂👍👍👍
