Guest Reviews
- Encik Anif (8/5): -
- Farzana (10/5): -
- Josh (9/5): Superb - It was clean and confy
- Chien (8/5): Very comfortable, would stay again next time I visit Penang. - Room was small but had all the needed utilities like writing desk, clothes rack, hangers and air conditioning (which was easily adjusted). Bathroom slippers for each occupant was very appreciated. Common shower and bathroom was kept in clean condition and there was hardly a queue to use the wash areas. Public areas were tidy and well decorated. Smoking area could be moved to the back of the outside corridor instead of right in front of the main entrance which all occupants cannot avoid.
- Bahamat (5/5): Passable -
- Hananni (7/5): Affordable and reasonable. - The air conditioning functions well.
Facilities are complete (mattress, pillow, and comforter).
Hangers are provided.
The lift functions well.
The staff is very informative and friendly. The shower flow is quite slow.
There is an issue with the iron and ironing board. Please cover the board properly.
Please provide a foot mat for added comfort.
Please provide tissues and water glasses according to the number of guests.
Please service the fan regularly.
Please reserve parking for guests.
- Syira (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kien (5/5): Passable -
- Charmaine (6/5): Pleasant - The location is good, close to the centre. The room has everything you need basically. The apartment is nearby a very noisy street. There's no room cleaning service. Some conditions are not consistent with what they put on the website (such as late check out by 1pm).
- Eddy (9/5): Superb -
- Singam (8/5): Very good -
- Farzana (5/5): Passable - Near to town and easy to access the parking area. The staff also good and easy to deal with. The room was so comfortable. It is value for money. Maybe the kitchen and the fridge need to be clean as they were some leftover food at the kitchen area.
- Nur (8/5): Very good -
- Thean (8/5): Will come back to it. - Location - very close to eateries and local convenient stores.
Cleanliness - Very clean. Well kept. Bath and toilets are very clean. No foul adour at all! I travelled on a motorcycle and luckily there was a small spot for parking. For those who drive, parking is not as issue.
Water pressure and water heater could be better.
- Renee (6/5): Value for money but not convenient for parking and not clean as well.Washroom have bad smell . - Convenient to get food No “extra parking “ as stated in booking. We have problem to get parking ,have to pay while day fees .When we request extra scan chip to enter main gate also cant be full fill .
- Lala (8/5): thank You Wayton Express, your room and all providers are well prepared. - room and bed are perfect, air-con and fan are well prepared. The living room and Bathroom are also nice, Free wifi also the best and its really provide us good connection without any laggy experience. my Family and I liked the provide of the room with affordable price. i wish there will be a Well prepared Kitchen too so it easier for us to cook and a new iron to iron clothes such dress and uniform. it would be nice too if there is a Dryer to fasten drying clothes.
- Paizle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Abdul (7/5): For budget traveller, this is it. - No breakfast provided. But you can cook on your own.
- Shafiq (6/5): Affordable Stay but with Noise Issues - - cheap, clean and comfy rooms
- easy check in & check out
- plenty of parking
- near to youth park - bad sound-proofing, can hear noises from common area & adjacent room
- sound of water pump was very loud, can hear from room
- not suitable for light sleepers
- Daphne (8/5): Very good -
- Suhanie (8/5): Good - Just nice and clean Nice
- Christopher (8/5): Very good - Comfortable room with good air conditioning. The room had enough space to work and a good chair. WiFi was plenty good enough to work online. Staff was friendly. Having a washing machine was very helpful. Someone set up a festival tent in the parking lot downstairs and hosted crazy-loud Chinese singers and bands for about 5 days, from 8-11pm each night. There was also a lot of road noise that came in through the doors that don't seal out sound or air.
- Deidre (7/5): An adequate budget-friendly option - My room was clean, large and with a private balcony and bathroom. The night guard, Mohammed, was friendly and made me feel welcome and safe when I arrived at night. This is like a hostel for adults. Quiet and decent. The building exterior and steel lift aren't appealing but don't let that put you off. It's comfortable for the budget conscious.
- Valerie (7/5): I chose this for the location near to places I wished to visit. - No breakfast provided but dispenser for hot or cold water and instant coffee powder available.
The fridge was useful and much appreciated No other drinks provided. We had to bring our own
- Nguyễn (7/5): Good -
- Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hong (9/5): Room stay that exceeded expectation. - Excellent roomstay. More facilities available than your typical budget place. Great location: walking distance to Penang Adventist Hospital, short drive to The Gurney malls (only 6 mins during peak period). Excellent service. Friendly and helpful staff. The common area was a little hot, even with fans switched on. Didn't matter much to us because we spent most of our time in the room and outside. It was still ok to have meals outside without sweating.
- Wahyu (7/5): good priced for a quick stay after searching at peak season. - Near to anywhere in Penang island city center.
And actually it is a stone throw away from Methodist hospital.
Main road access, easy to call a grab car transport. There are restaurant downstairs.
Good WIFI.
Simple check-in and checkout. none.
- Krishnapriya (9/5): Superb -
- Techup (8/5): Value for money - The place is definitely nice looking and well priced! The water pressure for the showers could be a bit stronger.
- Sabine (7/5): Simple but OK - It's a typical hostel....simple, simple, easy in all respects. Cleanliness could be improved.
- Hayley (9/5): Lovely stay! - The room was very big and spacious, comfortable beds. The shared facilities are excellent, we used the main room for my daughter's birthday evening to do a home cooked meal and cake with a video call to family, it was lovely! There isn't enough spoons 😆 and some more attention could be paid to the cleanliness of the shared utensils and kitchen area, otherwise all good!
- Ruzi (6/5): Pleasant -
- Lahiru (8/5): Very good -
- Bryan (7/5): Good -
- Murugan (7/5): Good - The facilities The room door no door closer..need close manually Everyone need privacy..
- Tegz (10/5): Great place to have as a home base for exploring Georgetown - Great location and friendly staff A little hard to find initially but that was easily resolved with the help of the staff
- Zalina (9/5): Superb -
- Ingashefi (8/5): Super management at Wayton - The staff were very helpful, particularly Son.
The room was nice, I understand this particular section only recently opened. Location, a bit too far away from city centre, I should have researched more thoroughly.
The section I was staying wasn't fully functional. The 'kitchen' amenities were somewhat lacking. Most of the facilities, including hot/cold water machine, washing machine were in a different part of the building. Also noted: the other 2 sections were kept locked; my particular section was always open. I think when it is all fully functioning, the guest scores will be higher 😏
- Leow (7/5): Good -
- Nadhira (8/5): Very good -
- Lisbet (9/5): Superb - It's close to bus stop. The wifi is good and has washing machine.
- Sukandan (10/5): Cozy hostel vibes - Loved the cozy hostel like vibe of the place. You'd actually get to meet people here as laundry, kitchen and bathroom are shared facilities. If you are looking for a quaint little place in a budget you can't go wrong with Wayton's.
The shared facilities mentioned above are maintained exceptionally well and are serviced properly so, you don't have to worry about the whole "common/sharing" thing.
- Ms (5/5): Passable - First of all, since I just booked for to sleep so I bearly have time around in the staycation place. At first, there's a miscommunication when the staff thought I'm not from Malaysia and almost got the wrong room. Having a trust issue there yet luckily I immediately called the owner and settled issue. Might do something for the lift, be more clean? Yeah I'm not sleeping in the lift yet being in and out, up and down using the same lift just...yeah please.
For the safety for each room, preferable use the same key as the gate coin key access though. Using manual key 🔑, the security a bit in hole, because in my time, the next door almost get into our room as I didn't manage to lock the door button before.
- Maruthan (8/5): Very good - All The room needs to be tiled, the room looks bad with cement floor
- Abdul (5/5): Passable - clean shower and toilet facilities are on common/sharing basis.. so there no privacy. Maybe it’s stated somewhere in the description of the property, but I missed that point..
- Arima (9/5): Value for money and homelike accommodations - It was very convenient to have everything we needed, including kitchen facilities and a washing machine. The staff was very friendly and gave me all the information I needed. It was also nice that the bus stop was right in front of the house. (We were able to walk to Gurney Plaza and other places.)
We enjoyed our stay there.Thank you! It was difficult to sleep at night because I could hear all the voices outside.
- Fiqa (7/5): Good -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Mia (9/5): Great stay, cheap price and great facilities - Heaps of space to chill and couches, large kitchen, great facilities including free washing machine. It’s right next to a bus stop so you can access the whole island from this location.
- Me (10/5): Exceptional -
