Guest Reviews

• Marlon (10/5): Will Definitely Return Someday - Incredibly friendly staff! Quick check-in and very clean room. The location was very central and near where you want to be.
• Juichiao (10/5): - Good location and friendly staff.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - We can’t sleep in the room when everyone walking on the floor inside and it’s disturbing us to wake up and sleep again and wake up again that we was drowsy!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The breakfasts were fabulous, varied each morning from sausages to beans to eggs with toast. The hostel had a hotel vibe to it especially on the landing upstairs. The showers are great. The beds ok but very hard and the pillows were extremely hard I honestly don’t know how people use them, I had to buy my own softer one.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice private room - We loved our stay at Ryokans for the local area, service and cleanliness. WiFi wasnt that good, but ok
• Verified traveler (6/5): 趣はないが観光には便利 - ジョージタウンの古い建物に泊まりたかったので選んだが、 ドミトリーで１泊３０リンギは高い。 若い西洋人が多かった。 内部は「うなぎの寝床」のように奥に長く、 改装してあるので水回りなどはきれいだった。 女性用４ベッドの部屋は個別のライトがない。 とにかく狭い。４人だときつい。 窓なし、エアコンあり。 ロッカーはあるが鍵は自分で用意すること。 廊下がカーペット敷きなのでスリッパ・ゴム草履が禁止。 西洋人にはルールを守れない人もそこそこいた。 一番の問題点は廊下の軋み。 信じられないくらい部屋の中が揺れる。 廊下をどすどす歩く人が憎かった。 屋台のある通りにも、レッドガーデンにも、バス停にも、 イースタン＆オリエンタルホテルにも歩いて数分。 寝るだけと割り切って、ほとんど部屋にいない人におすすめ。 朝食はホットミールがあるので、そこはうれしい点だった。 ロティーと春雨の日替わりは珍しい。ゆで卵とウインナーは毎日ある。 スタッフは人によってフレンドリーさが違うものの、 質問にはなんでも答えてくれたので、積極的に話しかける必要がある。 次回はここの近くの、もっと安いドミトリーで、 もう少し雰囲気の良い宿を選びます。
• W (10/5): - Good location, close to CAT bus stop. Good breakfast. Rooms are clean with comfortable bed.
• Melvin (6/5): Terrible wifi the dorms are cramped - Absolutely terrible WiFi. The dorms are very cramped. The WiFi in the lounge is very slow. Between 0.5 Mbps to 2 Mbps. The bathrooms are clean and the breakfast is good.
• Verified traveler (10/5): コスパがとても良いです！ - フロントの方の対応が親切で、質問への回答やタクシーの手配を快く行ってくれました。ドミトリー内は広く、荷物を入れるロッカーもあり快適でした。バスタオルの貸し出しは大変嬉しかったです。通路やシャワールームには冷房がないので少し暑かったですが、仕方ないですね。近所にはコンビニや飲食店が多数あり、旅行中の飲食には全く困りませんでした。全体的には非常に満足です。
• Verified traveler (10/5): Value for money - A clean and safe city center hostel with reasonable price. Would like to mentioned about the breakfast that, by backpackers standard the owner is very generous by offering a good buffet style breakfast for the guest. The menu include rice, noodle, sausage, eggs, Indian roti, bread and butter which enough to cater for everyone taste.
• KAZUKI (8/5): - Power sockets, locker(except key) and towel provided to each bed, food court "Red Garden" is in a few minutes walk
• Verified traveler (10/5): Convinient place - Very good hostel for this price. Free WiFi. Good Indian style breakfast. Excellent location.
• Red (6/5): Excellent location at a reasonable price - 2 nights solo traveller staying in a private room. Basic but the bed was really comfortable, great aircon and powerful shower. Breakfast could be better. Really tasty sauce but the vegetable curry lacked a lot of vegetables - maybe I arrived too late and missed out.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Still ok but soundproofing is not - This is my second time to stay this hostel overnight and seems everything are still good as usual. Despite being in a more quiet room on the ground floor the only problem I face is the sound proofing; by the time I am about to rest I can hear a very loud laughing and conversation outside, maybe on the bar area. Also, can hear those walking on upstairs which may disturb light sleepers. But the rest, facilities and free breakfast (though got limited choices) are still ok.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good location for budget traveller. - Bed is comfortable, restroom is clear. WIFI sometimes not work well, but quality acceptable.
• kk (8/5): - Nice location, friendly staff and clean rooms. Breakfast is simple, but good.
• Darren (8/5): - Very helpful and friendly staff. Great location. Free breakfast. Had booked for 3 nights, stayed 13
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good Location - Good location to a lot of the historical places. Toilet okay but lack of soap. Top floor is a bit noisy when people walk hard. Other than that, it is okay.
• Hege (10/5): Clean hostel in the colonial area - This is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. The bed was comfy, the showers were warm and with good pressure, the bathrooms were clean and the breakfast was excellent for a hostel. We were actually served warm breakfast for free every day, and we didn't have to do the dishes. The staff were always helpful (except one) and friendly with lots of knowledge about the area. The room was clean and every bed had a poweroutlet with usb-charging and different charging-types. I will stay here again next time I come to town.
• JING (8/5): Good stay in Penang. - Very clen hostel.AC worked well. Inluding breakfast valuable. There is a bus stop near hostel where you can take a bus to Gurney.
• Suna (10/5): 위치 좋고 깨끗하고 조용합니다. - 아침 7 시 부터 저녁 11시 까지 문이 열려 있기 때문에, 저녁 11시에 밖에서 밥 먹다가 들어와야 한다는 것이 약간 단점 이라면 단점 이었습니다. 아침식사는 빵/계란/커피 정도만 제공 됩니다. 타올/얇은 면 이불 주고, 키 디파짓으로 20 링깃 보증금 있고, 체크아웃시 다시 돌려 받습니다~ 위치는 좋구요, 도보로 이동 가능하고, 시설도 깨끗하고 좋구요, 샤워실 화장실 불편없이 사용했습니다. ( 아침 일찍이면 좀 기다려야 할 수도 있어요) 1층 카페 테리아도 조용하고 좋고, 캔맥 8 링깃에 먹을 수 있어요. 다만 이층이 나무 바닥(복도에는 카펫이 깔려있음) 으로 되어있는데, 복도에 사람들 지나 다닐때,, 전체적으로 울립니다. 저렴한 가격에 위치 좋고, 다음번에도 또 이용할것 같아요~
• ALFRED (10/5): Cheap, Clean & Comfort - Staff is friendly, free breakfast, clean and comfort room.
• Lie (8/5): - Hotel was located in a great area very near Love Lane and the markets. / Staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was varied and filling!
• Tim (10/5): A fantastic hostel in great location. - I booked to stay at Ryokan Muntri Boutique Hostel based on the positive reviews I had read online. There were a number of mentions about Mac, one of the staff who works on reception, and how welcoming and informative he is. These were so true as on my welcome to the hostel, around 10.30pm, Mac gave an extremely warm welcome after I'd endured a long trip to George Town. The hostel itself is very clean, comfortable and the design and decor is very cool. The breakfast far beat expectations with a buffet every morning including toast, eggs, sausages, beans, noodles, curry, a great way to start off your day. The rooms are clean, comfortable and the air con is good. The shared bathrooms are also very good with powerful hot showers. Location could not be better as you are right in the heart of the old heritage city of George Town, and the famous Love Lane (full of cafes, bars and restaurants) is only a 2 minute walk from the hostel door. I cannot recommend this hostel enough and will certainly be staying here again on my return to George Town.
• Grace (6/5): Clean hostel, Powerful showers - My room was located next to the toilets & showers so sometimes there was a bad smell in the room. Also, the air con was a bit hit & miss, either too hot or too cold - no happy medium. But the hostel was kept very clean & only a 10 min walk to the nearest 7/11. Not much of a social scene while I was there.
• Tsubasa (10/5): また泊まりたい - 朝食つきなのでとてもよかったです。また観光地に行くのにもとても便利だと思います。スタッフもいろいろな質問に笑顔で答えてくれてとてもよかったです。ただ廊下の歩く音とかは少し響くのとトイレットペーパーがトイレの入口にあるのを気を付ける必要があります。
• Patrick (8/5): - Très bon accueil, le personnel toujours souriant et agréable, prêt à rendre service. Seul bémol, chambre un peu trop petite sans fenêtre et un peu bruyant le matin.
• PK (8/5): In the Heart of George town - Hotel is close to many visitors spots, Rooms are clean and staff were friendly. It is worth if we opt for budget hotel....
• Verified traveler (8/5): 性價比高的住宿地方。 - 舒適清潔。地點方便。
• rindi (8/5): - Great location. We got a dbl private room at a wonderful price. It was clean and roomy.
• Jaehoon (8/5): - IT was comfortable
• Prasit (10/5): walking distance from Jetty and city area - Nice clean hostel with friendly staff especially two men at the dining area and ladies at the reception with their assistance in the area.The breakfast was good.If anyone who enjoys nice and quiet place to rest when you need it without any much of social communication then this is the right for you.The dining area is clean.The area for taking a break was somewhat lacking even the walking hall was adequate for walking but still narrow.The bathrooms shower head was good but hot water was extremely hot.The knob turned all around which was unusual and can boil someone.There was no "how to use hot water properly"sign or any kind that caused a waste of hot water.The man at the reception was more concentrate on his work on computer than the help from his customer at the hostel.Location of the hostel was good.Free shutter bus was nearby and helpful within certain Georgetown area.Restaurants and shops are easy to reach.
• Deniel (8/5): Nice Budget Hotel - I was there for only 2 night. At first the AC doesnt work, the TV also doesnt work. But the staff was very helpful and acting fast. The breakfast was limited, but it was tasteful, really nice.
• JB (6/5): No frill accommodation - Facilities was in poor condition. It was rundown and needed maintenance. However the warm and friendly staff made up for it.
• Yuen Yee Molly (8/5): clean and tidy hostel - Friendly service at counter. Clean and tidy room, location with easy access to tourist interest point
• Ian (8/5): Little Gem - Basic accommodation but clean, friendly and great location
• lin (10/5): Really good hostel - The staff were really friendly and giving me useful advice, the hostel located in a good spot too and has many options for breakfast.
• Tabs (10/5): Super Hostel für kleines Geld - Extrem sauber und gut ausgestattetes Hostel! Bequeme Betten und endlich duschen im separaten Raum ohne wc dabei. Frühstück ist gut und die Lage ist super zentral. Mittendrin aber trotzdem ruhig. Wer nach George Town geht sollte in jedem Fall das Ryokan Muntri buchen
• Krzysztof (4/5): - The condition of this hostel is really good. The major downside is lack of real connection with staff. The guys at the reception are not very communicative, appear to be cold and with no real drive to help! A part of it might be not well language skills however you can still smile without them ;-)
• Evgeny (8/5): Reasonable prices - Everything was nice, perfect stuff, clean rooms, good breakfast
• Verified traveler (4/5): King size room but actually less than 10' square. - Called a "King Size" room but actually less than 10' x 10'. No window. Air conditioner not working correctly. Toilet seat broken. Staff were friendly.
• な (6/5): 朝食が良い - スタッフの対応が良い。朝食がおいしい。トーストとコーヒーだけじゃない。ゆで卵とチャーハン、などがあった。 バスとトイレは別。清潔。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Toller Aufenthalt. Allerdings bei leichtem Schlaf nicht zu empfehlen, da extrem hellhörig.
• Cathy (8/5): Pleasant surprises - I had a very comfortable stay here. Situated near to the spots you want to visit, I had no trouble just walking all over Penang and going back to my hostel for a rest, if the need should arise. Facilities are clean, especially the bath and comfort rooms. Good shower pressure too.
• YU-TING (8/5): High CP ratio - It's really good price for the location even there is no window, but the room is clean for stay over there in city center.
• Vera (10/5): Clean and comfortable. - Fantastic hostel. Very clean. Big beds. Rooms daily serviced. Great showers - better than mine at home. Bathrooms are mixed though. Great buffet breakfast and very helpful and friendly staff.
