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.
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.
Это был мой первый опыт жизни в хостеле. Я ставлю этому месту 10/10, я довольна абсолютно всем. За такую цену это подарок. Рестхаб находится в самом центре Джорджтауна, самые популярные достопримечательности в шаговой доступности. Через дорогу торговый центр, очень много кафе и ресторанов в округе. В капсулах, то есть комнатах, очень чисто, удобный матрас и подушки. Выдаются полотенца, тапочки и зубные щетки с пастой. В душевых есть шампунь, гель для душа, мыло и даже фен. Всё соседи культурные, соблюдается тишина. Чувствуется безопасность благодаря тому, что комнаты закрываются автоматически и открываются с помощью ключ карты.
Hoewel ik een individuele reiziger was, boekte ik toch de driepersoonskamer voor ruimte. Het was erg ruim - 1 tweepersoonsbed en 1 eenpersoonsbed - de badkamer was verdeeld in drie ruimtes - toiletruimte, middelste wastafel en spiegel en de doucheruimte. De kamer heeft grote ramen met uitzicht op de Lee Jerry/Chew Jetty en uitzicht op zee. Nadeel was voor mij geen koelkast en geen lift. Om mijn kamer te bereiken zijn drie trappen nodig - veel als je veel bagage hebt. Maar de medewerker hielp me zo vriendelijk om mijn zwaarste tas te dragen en ik mocht vroeg inchecken omdat de kamer de avond ervoor niet geboekt was - erg aardig.
A comfortable & safe place to stay, besides that, the staff on duty are very friendly and welcoming to customers, as well as the price offers are very worthwhile & economical, I suggest you try booking accommodation at ”Aayu Chulia Georgetown”.
The host was friendly to provide midnight check in and room condition was clean and tidy with good air conditioning. And the location was convenient from Queensway mall.

GGuest UserThis was a temporary stopover near the airport. The environment was, to put it mildly, not great. The shower and toilet weren't separated, and as it's a Muslim household, you can't wear shoes inside, which made using the bathroom quite a hassle. Another issue was the significant noise from the road. However, it was cheap and close to the airport, and the host was very welcoming.
GGuest UserWe had a good stay there, comfortable, staff are okay but on my last day I was locked outside when the door knob mulfunctioned. Luckily the staff was giving full cooperation. Overall, recommended if you are travelling to explore places around Georgetown area and nearby places.
RRonin tanI was very satisfied with my overall experience at this hotel! First and foremost, the most convenient aspect was the airport transfer service. The driver was punctual and friendly, making the journey from the airport to the hotel very smooth. I didn't have to worry about transportation or getting lost at all. This service is truly thoughtful, especially for first-time visitors to the city.
The hotel's hygiene was also quite impressive. Whether it was the lobby, elevators, or inside the rooms, everything was meticulously cleaned, and the air was fresh with no unpleasant odors. The bed in the room was soft and comfortable, the bathroom was clean and tidy, and all the towels and amenities were well-stocked, making for a very reassuring stay. The daily cleaning service was also excellent; the staff would proactively clean and replenish daily necessities.
The location was also fantastic. The hotel is situated in a very convenient area with many restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores nearby. You can easily find food or daily essentials within a short walk. Whether you want to try local specialties or just grab a quick meal, it's incredibly easy. Moreover, the hotel is not far from shopping malls and public transportation, making it convenient for taking a taxi or public bus.
FFdidovicThe hostel is in a very good location right in the city center, which is definitely its biggest advantage. However, the cleanliness was disappointing. The room was quite dirty, and the overall condition of the hostel could be much better.
The breakfast was very basic, and in my opinion it’s not worth the price. I would only recommend staying here if the location in the center is your main priority.
Another issue was that we noticed mouses during the night,
XXiu Tang XuanI arrived quite late on the first day, and the front desk was already closed. I called multiple times, but no one answered. The platform told me to leave a message, and my email didn't get a reply either... I was actually ready to give up and leave a bad review. Then, suddenly, my phone rang at 1 AM, and someone responded – possibly a substitute staff member... After that, check-in went smoothly... The overall environment and concept are pretty good, and there's a suitable spot for me to get work done. Most importantly, seeing the lady diligently cleaning the beds the next morning really made up for it. I've saved this location for future reference.
GGuest UserThe staff at the hotel is so friendly and welcoming. Excellent service. The room is spacious, clean and bed very comfortable. Walking distance to Gurney drive and Gurney promenade. Early morning watch sun rises over the horizon. The promenade is big and clean. People jogging.
Food court nearby. Hotel 22 is the most colourful hotel in the area and can be seen from a distance. Would recommend anyone to stay in Hotel 22 if they are on the budget.
AAnonymous UserConsidering the price, this hotel is reasonable for a short stay. It has all the basic necessities, but if you're looking for something particularly comfortable, it's just okay. The main drawback of the hotel is the soundproofing.
MM_NABEELThe hotel management is good they do the room cleaning service on time and overall the room are spacious and air condition with free wifi and hot and cold water is also there
GGuest UserThis hotel is really great. For the first time i decide to book Gather Inn, i don't have any expectations. I choose Family Suite for max 4 people (bcs Trip.com give me a discount too hehe) But, the location suprisingly good!!! Pasar Chowrasta, 24 hours Laundry, Bakery, Nasi Kandar Deen Mutiara, Cheng Woh Herbal Store, Toh Soon Cafe, Bagel's Dream, Berlys Lebuh Leith and many places. I also love their hospitality 😭❤️ All the crew are friendly to us. If i got another chance to visit Penang again, i will no hesitate to book this hotel.
GGuest UserWith the price I paid, I'm totally satisfied with everything, water heater in good condition, air cond running smoothly, 2 toilet paper provided with 2 small bar soap..the room and bathroom is clean, kiblat direction, beddings necessities quite comfortable. I just hope the hotel can add more details on their site, mine don't have windows but no complain since we stay for short time. Iron and drinking water provided at the stairs.
