Guest Reviews

• Janet (10/5): - Just an overnight stay here but my room was better than a lot of hotels I’ve paid double to stay in! Definitely stay here again if I’m in Georgetown.
• Jamal (2/5): Le manoir de la famille Addams. - En voyage en Asie pour 3 mois, j’ai fait beaucoup d’hostel, je sais qu’on ne peut pas attendre un 5 étoiles mais tout de même ! Celui-là est d’une saleté incroyable je n’ai jamais vu ça dans aucun autre hébergement. Murs décrépis, fils électriques du chauffe-eau apparents, mais le pire : literie degueulasse et cafards sur le mur. Si vous voulez vomir, allez-y les yeux fermés vous serez impressionnés !
• Setiawan (10/5): Please - Please always keep office boy or teller or anyone there every shift. if any customer want to check in or get inside.
• Xiao Fang (6/5): - Conveniently located and nice if you need a place to rest.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - I like the concept of this hostel
• Nur (2/5): - Worst ever..... 😡 -5days stayed without any channel...tv can’t function at all -aku ade anak 1tahun, bole pulak constructions drill dinding -bilik ta dpt mcm dlm post... damn it -parking sendiri ye... rm4-rm3 per day. Ta bole claim... Tapi -location sgt2 terbaik.. so puas hati kat location je !
• Izni (6/5): - I like the service they gave but disappointed with the parking spaces available. Besides, the cleanliness is quite poor at the pool side..
• Minghao (10/5): 很乾淨喔, 地點很棒~推薦給大家 - 很乾淨喔, 地點很棒~推薦給大家
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Awesome place for low budget
• Verified traveler (8/5): - ที่พักอยู่ใกล้ตึกคอมต้า เดินทางสะดวก มีร้านสะดวกซื้อ ใกล้ที่พักมีร้านอาหาร
• Barry (8/5): Decent but room a little ragged - Good location. Nice pool but little small. Room was clean. But condition of walls were deteriorated. Needs some refurbishment.
• Charles (6/5): - ..................................................
• Verified traveler (10/5): - มีอุปกรณ์อำนวยความสะดวกพร้อม พนักงานสุภาพและบริการดี ห้องพักมีความสะอาดมาก
• Matthew (6/5): Hostel stay - My first time staying in a hostel and it wasn’t too bad. You obviously get what you pay for. If you’re looking for mod cons and an ultra cool hotel or something luxurious, this won’t be for you. However, if you want a nice cheap place to get your head down in a fairly good location then it’s Perfect. No real problems as I knew what I was getting when staying here, the only real issue I had were the noise of some kind of generator and the bed is extremely uncomfortable. That’s the only complaints I had.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Easy to find the location
• Robert (10/5): Nice hostel - This is a nice hostel. I had a private room and was satisfied with the cleanliness and comfort. However, there was a constant bad smell emanating from the bathroom drain. I spoke with reception and was offered another room which was smaller and I declined. Upon request, I was given a can of room spray to help with the odor. It worked somewhat, but the smell still lingered. I got used to it, and it wasn't a huge problem. The pool, although small, is great, and the temperature is perfect. There is a kitchen area with everything need to prepare a meal and to keep things cold in the refrigerator. A hot kettle in the room is handy for instant coffee in the morning (which they provide) and to make instant soups and noodles. . The location is very good, located close to Komtar and the bus station. There is a free local bus for the central area, and it was great to be able to hop on and off to see the sights of Georgetown. The staff was helpful, friendly, and respectful. I would definitely stay there again.
• Laura (10/5): Uima-allas luksusta - Huippuhostelli uima-altaalla! Netti oli huono.
• Joyce (6/5): Noisy downstair No toiletries - People partying downstairs until midnight. At our first night, people partying, jamming, singing, talking, laughing, shouting downstairs. But 2nd night, no more, 3rd night, party again.... One thing quite sad is no toiletries, only toilet paper available.
• Anaïs (6/5): Avis mitigé - L'hôtel est bien placé.Le personnel est accueillant et arrangeant. En revanche, l'hôtel est viellot et les photos ne reflètent pas du tout son état réel.
• Winnie (8/5): - 地理位置佳、交通方便的好旅店
• Verified traveler (4/5): Hôtel decevant - 5 nuits passées dans cet Hôtel. bruillant, anniversaire karaoké de 23h00 à 4h00 du matin. Wifi très mauvaise, débit et connection. Propreté, moquette dans les chambres avec saleté, odeurs d'humidité dans la salle de bains Literie usagée et oreillers trop épais et trop ferme pour pouvoir s'en servir.
• LIANG YU (2/5): - 隔音極差，房間小又髒。淺眠的人無法睡好。優點就只有靠近bus總站而已。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 不如想像般理想，房內無牙膏，無牙刷，無剃刀，無拖鞋，泳池很細小，與網上圖片不一樣....….....................
• Lau (10/5): Good location - Encountered problem with checkin. It took a while for them to locate my booking. Turned out that my booking was under Expedia which I was unaware of. As the aircon of room i was supposed to stay in was spoilt, they kindly upgraded my room. So I had comfortable stay. Excellent location close to bus interchange and also Chowrasta market.
• Verified traveler (4/5): 観光に便利な場所 - 22時にチェックインしたが余分なタオルがなかった。水回りに抵抗があった。
• Shareen (10/5): Great Location! - They let me come in early and hang out before my check-in time. Service was great. I had a private room and it was clean and functional with a working A/C. I did notice some bugs come out at night when I put an ice cream wrapper on the night table. They promptly disappeared when I threw it out. Other than that, wifi was good, place was clean and functional. Perfect location in the city. Close to the Komtar and on the hop on hop off bus service. 5 min walk to everything. Enjoyed my stay there.
• Richard (8/5): Great location - few time stayed with this hostel because great location near to station and easy walk around .
• Verified traveler (2/5): 不比招待所好 - 位置很好，就在真浪海鲜餐厅对面，亦即在主要大道上，衣食住行叫车去景点都十分便利。5分钟走到沙滩。 但一房三张单人床，只有两把风扇实在不行，又怕蚊虫咬，冲凉没有热水的，WiFi一般，经常断线。 便宜莫贪，没有安全感，跟当地人没有关系，他们都十分友善。
• Setiawan (10/5): Nice hostel - Nice place , roomy , clean bed, nice staff. Place near shopping mall, food court and play zone (very strategic place to stay)
• YISHU (8/5): - 距離公車總站和光大廣場很近，很方便，櫃台人員態度親切，解說清楚。進入後上樓前必須要脫鞋，沒有鞋櫃可以放，感覺一樓的公共空間不是很整潔。二樓都是單人房，房間不大，但該有的都有，可惜沒有對外窗，短暫住宿一兩晚還算可以。
• Suraiya (8/5): - The location is a bit difficult to find. Had to call the hotel few times to ask where i can park my car, but the hotel staff is very nice to answer and give direction clearly. The hotel is so nice! We had a surprise for my friend bcoz shes getting married.
• Kenneth (4/5): My Stay At Wassup Youth Hostel - This is my fourth time staying at the hostel. The last time was 2 years ago and I really enjoyed my stay. Over the years, they have upgraded the facilities in the hostel and seems to be building up their brand. But when they started to upgrade the hostel facilities they neglected the room facilities are most essential to travellers. I was given room 115 and my window is below the staircase to level 2. The room cleanliness was at the worst state. The bedsheet was dirty, there was different hair of different lengths on the floor, the air con was leaking and the water pressure was terrible. On day 2, I requested for housekeeping. When I reached the hostel at night, my room was not tidy up and a new towel was left on my bed. The rubbish was still lying there and the toilet floor was still wet. I went down to the reception and was told that the housekeeping staff has left. On day 3, I decided not to ask for housekeeping and when reached the hostel at night the room was tidy up. The staff was no longer friendly except for the Chinese girl in glasses and I think she is one of the old staff I met 2 years ago. The rest of the counter staff has no smile, no greeting. I am disappointed and will not patronize the hostel again. Sorry Wassup Youth Hostel, you have failed me.
• Patrick (8/5): Friendly staff, great location, reasonable price. - I had to book Wassup Youth Hostel at the last moment and didn't have time to do much research into the hotel. As it turned out, this hotel was at the most convenient location to all of the malls and shopping on Penang Island. It is less than a 5 minute walk to the bus station, so you can conveniently go to anywhere on the island. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and spoke good English. Everything in the hotel was kept reasonably clean. Compared to three other hotels at the same price, this hotel was the cleanest, rooms were spacious, and was the most conveniently located. For anyone looking for convenience at a very reasonable price, I highly recommend this hotel. It also has a small spa swimming pool which most of the hotels in this area don't have. A real gem.
• Malin (6/5): - Smutsigt, fläckar på väggen som liknar mögel. Väldigt lyhört. Extremt obekväma sängar.
• TAMILCHELVAN (8/5): - I WISH THE WIFI IS STRONGER
• Noina (8/5): ทำเลดีมาก❗ - ทำเลโรงแรมดีมากๆค่ะ เดินทางสะดวก อยู่ใกล้กับท่ารถบัสและห้างใหญ่ มีผ้าขนหนูให้ และมีโฟมสำหรับอาบน้ำ สระผม ล้างมือให้ด้วย (3in1) ที่ชั้น1ด้านหลังโรงแรมมีตู้กดน้ำร้อน-เย็นให้ด้วย แต่อยากให้โรงแรมเพิ่มตู้เก็บรองเท้าด้วย เพราะตอนนั่งคอยที่ล็อบบี้นี่หายใจไม่สะดวกเลย เมารองเท้า 555
• Verified traveler (6/5): Hotel Strategis dekat Komtar - Lokasi yang strategis dekat Komtar Kamar bersih, cuma kebersihan sprei tempat tidur harus ditingkatkan. Dekat dengan Gamma supermarket dan China town....sekitar 8 sd 10 menit jalan kaki. Ada ruang bermain bersama...cuma dibatasi sd jam 12 malam......ada baiknya sd jam 1 malam atau lebih.....hiburan untuk tamu yang tidak bisa tidur. Ada refill minum yang bisa diambil setiap saat Security yang baik dengan akses kartu Pelayanan yang biasa saja.......tergantung front desk officer.....keseluruhan perlu ditingkatkan, terutama untuk tamu Asia.....karena jika diperhatikan untuk tamu Western mereka ramah sekali. Tv Chanel yang berbayang dan sangat sedikit. Internet yang tidak stabil. Ada bar dan disco di ruangan sebelah.......sangat tidak cocok untuk kenyamanan Hotel Tidak ada sarapan... Dikenakan pajak tambahan RM 10 per malam dikali berapa malam tinggal.......berlaku seluruh Malaysia....sebaiknya dihapus. Dispenser air minum harus dijaga...............terlihat House Kepper mencuci sesuatu yang kotor..... dan airnya menyembur ke dispenser. Susah mencari makan di malam hari Mudah2an pihak Hotel bisa meningkatkan kenyamanan.....apalagi tarif Hotel termasuk tinggi, jika dibandingkan Hotel2 sekitar yang murah.
• Diah (8/5): - Nice, easy to reach n strategic location
• TEH (10/5): - Overall is clean. Toilet need to do maintenance.
• Karolien (6/5): Rooms in bad shape, not great location - The first room we got was extremely moldy, the sink leaking and the aircon dripping on your face when lying in bed. The second room had again a moldy carpet. Its location is far from the old town of Georgetown. There is a bar by the pool which is very noisy at night,but the hotel just claims it is not part of their property so nothing they can do
• Verified traveler (10/5): Right at the center of Gerogetown. - Near to the malls, famous Chendol, Kimberly street, and many other street food vendors
• Chris (8/5): Decent hostel in good location. - Staff were a bit unfriendly. Facilities are ok. The en-suite toilet is good. Noise level is ok, though guestroom doors slam quite loudly.
• sii (8/5): - The location is good, easy to get the public bus. But the wifi in the room is poor should be improve.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Strategic place to stay and rest - Great place. Near shopping mall, food paradise. Near komtar bus station. Strategic place to go.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good stay - Nice clean room with comfortable bunk beds. My first experience staying in dormitory style rooms. Made a couple of friends. Overall a pleasant experience and highly recommended. There was indeed some noise from the outside as it is directly beside the road and I think there is a club nearby but it is at bearable levels. No parking but those visiting I would suggest parking at Prangi Mall or another place (can't remember name Lebuh something..)
• Richard (8/5): Friendly staff - Nice hostel with very friendly reception staff Free tea and coffee in the lobby The room smelt bad - it seems the air con had leaked before which meant the room smelt very bad Lockers are provided in the room with a key Comfortable beds and pillow
• Simon (10/5): Nice hostel for backpackers - Reasonable price, friendly staffs, good environment especially the common area
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hostel - Good place to stay, strategic hostel because near bus stop, shopping center and food court(kopi tiam) and restaurant.
• Danielle (4/5): Incredibly loud and on dangerous streets - This "youth" hostel was mainly filled with middle aged Asian groups who were incredibly loud until 1am in the common rooms. Some of them had crying babies as well. Rooms were not well insulated so you could hear everything! Plus the beds squeaked like crazy so the whole bunk in a dorm would shake with any movement the other person made. Location was awful. Across several busy highways from the main attractions in Georgetown and not pedestrian friendly at all. I felt misled from prior reviews. To top it all off, when I went to check out the receptionist was sleeping (it was early morning but I had told them beforehand and they said they were 24/7). He was loudly snoring and wouldn't wake up no matter how many times I yelled. Finally had to awkwardly shake him so I could get my deposit back.
• Chris (10/5): Nice hotel close to Komtar bus terminal - This hostel is close to Komtar bus terminal, 5-7 mins walking distance. I arrived this hotel much earlier than the check-in time, but the hotel staff allowed me to check in anyway cuz the room was already ready. I Highly appreciate it! It also has a board listing out all the recommended places to visit in Penang. It should be noted that the shower water is warm only, and there's no toothpaste nor toothbrush provided. You can buy them in the store just next to the hostel.
• daniel (10/5): Great vibes! - Nice hotel/hostel. Open areas to chill. Kitchen, TV in common areas for veiwing( no English channels though) but they did have English DVDs. Only 2 streets over from the bus station and very large malls. However the best part was the staff. Everyone was just really friendly and helpful. Especially the receptionist Janet, and the older and younger gentlemen that cleans the rooms together. Super nice! WiFi was OK, but not extremely strong at times. Overall, just a solid choice!
• Con Nie (10/5): Clean hotel - Amazing
• zee (10/5): Good location, clean, with tv and safe - this was my second stay at Wassup. The location is good, in between Georgetown area and Jalan Macalister (where a lot of good durian stalls are, such as Ah Teik at Lorong Susu). Also nearby Joohooi cafe (touristy but has good chendol!). Also great for people who wanna take buses as it's next to Komtar bus terminal. The twin room is very clean, with a hairdryer, tv, safe and fridge, which is rare for a hostel. Cheap and good indeed. Highly recommended!
• Ha (8/5): Good place to stay - Wifi shuold be upgraded
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good service - The hostel's near Kompta Tower bus stop (just about 5 min). However there's no bus stop map to find which bus is suitable to go different sightseeings. Overall the hostel is so good, esp Lin.
• Verified traveler (8/5): the best hostel in Penang - locate is super and clean room
• ViVi (10/5): comfortable, good location, friendly staff - This is quite a big hostel. They have plenty of rooms in different types. I stayed in 4-bed dorm where they provide lockers for each bed and 2 bathrooms inside the room. They also have quite spacious common area that make you feel more at home and comfortable with all the space. The hostel is near the Komtar bus terminal and supermarkets/department stores. There are a lot of street food in the area. The hostel staff are very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay there and hope to go back soon.
• Liew (8/5): - Hotel overall very good. But noisy till 4am, neighbour have a club. Please take note of this.
• Khurram (8/5): Central Location - Overall good budget hostel in central Georgtown.
• Karthigesan (8/5): Good - Decent hotel with clean and organized room, and friendly staff. Nothing to complain as everything was smooth from the point of check-in, stay, and check-out. The only issue came up was there was no dedicated parking reserved for the hotel guests, but nevertheless there was adequate space for (free) parking behind the hotel.
• yoon (8/5): silent and comfortable. - Well.
• Fons (8/5): Great value for money, friendly staff - I staid 3 nights in a superior room no. 205. The room is spacious and clean. Bed was fine, airco worked fine. Bathroom looks good, fresh and new. Two towels are supplied in the room. Room is silent. Had a room on the backside, viewing the government Komtar tower and a parking lot, not interesting, but since you will be outdoors this doesn't matter. Good thing about that backside: it's absolutely quiet. Frontside is possibly noissier, but not sure, but at least the street in front is busy. The room is equipped with fridge, cloth hangers, tv and simple but good enough cloth rack. The whole hotel looks fresh and clean. I would go back here for another stay in Georgetown taken into account the great value for money although better locations can be found in Little India, but as this is in 10-15 min walk no issue for me. Lovely Camden street lays around the corner. Tip around the corner: - Hop on hop off bus in front of hotel. the busstation is in less than 10 min walk - and Max Gourmet serves great dumplings, perfect for having breakfast (no option in the hotel). - Some shops opposite of hotel. - Big shopping mall around the corner selling everything you can imagine. - Smart Phone Clinic (in Komtar Julan Penang no 2b-1-13)for repair of Ipads and phones. Helped me quickly to repair my ipad.
• NG (10/5): Extremely worth the buck - Friendly and helpful staff. Quiet comfortable common area. Clean rooms with almost everything you need for a decent stay. Highly recommended!
• Linzi (6/5): Just OK - It was pleasant enough.. Rooms are big and have everything you need. The balcony isn't a balcony and not worth paying any extra for. The shower soaks the whole bathroom and is abit weak, also the water is only warm. This place is ok for a few nights.. Wouldn't recommend much longer. Laundry service was good and location is alright too as it is close to bus station komtar.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Noisy next door music - I was stay there for two nights with my mom and my son 11 yrs old.. I booked with Kings size bed with window and balcony..the receptionist strictly not allow 3 pax In a room eventho the room is spacious with king size bed. They said 11 yrs old child consider adult even he is small size..& said, tats the rule for this hostel.. I was unhappy as I hav to book another room for my kid without sharing with others.. which cost more for my stay in this trip. The next door shop which connected to this hostel started the techno music with the heavy bass early 5am till 7am..I can't sleep once music started..I told the receiptionist but she can't do much.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Next door shop noisy - next door shop noisy early morning..deluxe room is spacious, with balcony but can't see outside coz the wall is too high.
• kai leong (10/5): two night stay - Clean and comfortable with such a cheap price
• Jien (10/5): - - Perfect
• Guo Yeh (10/5): Awesome hotel with awesome staffs - I placed an order to decorate my room on a birthday theme with intention to give a surprise for my girlfriend. The decoration is awesome and the staff is very welcomed. Though the staffs were not knowledgeable about the tourism place but the attitude and their service have outweigh the shortage. In overall, the hotel is superbly awesome and the environment of the hotel is awesome as well. I will definitely return to this hotel again if I travel to Penang again.
• Nigel (10/5): Excellent Hostel - This is a new hostel. Clean, well located and with friendly, helpful staff. I had a private room. It was huge and well appointed.
• didi (10/5): Superb hostel. Fully recommended for backpackers. - Really enjoyed my stay at wassup youth hostel. Nice and comfortable room. There's nothing not to love about this hostel.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Highly Recommended. Totally worth it! - It was totally worth it. The room was clean and i was very pleased with the staffs and the services they provided. The room was quiet, unlike certain hotels. They have a common area where you can hang out. Its clean and quiet. Just one drawback, where you don't have a proper parking, since its facing the main road. Most of the famous street foods are just around the corner.
• AT (8/5): Nice hostel with new facilities - Totally worthed for the money we paid! The private room & bathroom we stayed was clean and new. Also, didn't expect a safe and hair dryer in the room. The common area seemed like a nice place to chill and hang out too. Overall, the stay was good. Except there were mosquitos inside the room and the air conditioner was a little cranky.
• Kenny (8/5): Great place! - We stayed 2 nights at the Wassup hostel and are very pleased about our stay! Very friendly staff, cool athmosphere, close to everything! Don't look any further, stay here in Georgetown
• Verified traveler (10/5): Modern design close to heritage area and shoppings - clean and comfort room, friendly staffs, highly recommended to everyone. WASSUP!
