Rasa Motel is great value and the staff provides wonderful service! The property is not directly on the beach, it is across the street. There is beach access within walking distance with many beach activities available including boating and jet skiing. The beds in the rooms are VERY comfortable!!! The hotel lobby provides free coffee. There is a very nice outdoor seating area with a library and tables for remote working, smoking areas, etc. The staff also offers luggage holding if you need that service before/after checkout. I would definitely stay here again!

The place was incredibly cozy. The owners are amazing - give you a map that shows all the local places when you check in. They even lent me a bamboo mat for the beach!
The place is also spotless - they take great care of it. Air conditioning and TV both worked very well.
A 5 minute slow walk from the beach, and there is a supermarket literally 5 meters from the front door.
It's not a 5 star hotel, but if you want to spend most of your time exploring the beach and having fun and not in your room, I would highly recommend this place!

This place is a fantastic value. Spacious and very clean rooms located right across from major hotels. Walking distance to restaurants and beach. Has an on-site Turkish restaurant with good food. Nearby excellent laundromat. Can be noisy sometimes due to echo-y hallways and inconsiderate guests. Major downside is location is far from Georgetown and urban Penang sights and you can’t really swim at the beach. Would also be much improved if they put an electric kettle in each room — the communal water dispenser was hard to work for hot water. Overall, though, we really appreciated this hotel and would stay here again!

Extremely clean. Owner had a pack giving details of the area and island ready for all guests e. g. location of pharmacy, bus routes, places of interest, atm's... It had an infinite supply of hot and cold drinking water. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Also, a good location for the beach and a bus stop right outside.

Can't think of anything negative to say.

Very clean, very friendly

They were so friendly and helpful! They take extremely good care of the place, cleaning out the AC, painting the corners of where the wall meets the floor that most people don’t pay attention to. It’s very clean and it’s also a short walk to the beach.

Actually the crown of my tooth fell out while I was there and they suggested a dentist, I went and the dentist was amazing!

Thank you so much for a nice stay and for going out of your way to help me!

Rasa motel bagus!

Li and Chan, the owner/managers are extremely helpful and cheerful hosts. Made me feel at home right from the word go. The room was neat and very clean. Everything worked. Location is a bit of a hike from jetty but in a good area nonetheless. Hire a scooter and explore the island with Batu Ferringi as your base. Excellent stay at Rasa motel. Will stay Herr again when I come back to Penang.

I really enjoyed my stay at Rasa Motel. It's a budget hotel so the furnishings are simple but It was exceptionally clean & comfortable. The owners were very nice & helpful when I had questions. They also sell the cheapest beer on the beach! I had laundry done while I was there & it was affordable & done the same day. Location is prime, only a 100 m from the start of the night market and the beach. There's also plenty of food options within a few minutes walk. This was a great bargain & I would stay here again.

The staff are amazing and the rooms are very clean. Very reasonable rates. Very convenient location. There is a bus stop directly across from the hotel. It is only a few minute walk to stores and restaurant. There also a KFC, Subway, McDonalds, 7/11, and Happy Mart just a few minutes walk. I would recommend this hotel to those on a budget and I will definitely stay here again. I had a family emergency and had to cut my trip short and the owner refunded all of my money for the nights I didn't stay. Amazing service from the husband and wife team that manages this hotel...very friendly.

私はレビューを見てここに泊まることに決めました。実際宿泊費がとても安かったので不安もまりましたが、泊まってみてとてもよかったです。周りのホテルはとても高いですがここは値段に対して想像以上にホテルスタッフがフレンドリーです。私がここに泊まったのはちょうどコロナウイルスが世界中で問題になっている時で、当初予定は2泊でしたが飛行機が2度もキャンセルになり2週間ほど宿泊させてもらいました。私は、マレーシアのコンセントが日本と異なることも知っていましたが忘れてしまいました。ですが、ここのホテルスタッフにマレーシア用のコンセントを貸していただきとても助かりました。ドライヤーもこころよく貸してくださいました。1人で宿泊しましたがベットはクイーンサイズでしょうか？とても十分でした。トイレとシャワーは一緒ですが私はあまり気になりませんでした。クーラーも完備されていて快適に過ごせます。テレビも付いていて付け方がわからなかったのでこころよくつけてもらいました。2週間過ごしてきてずっとここに入れるくらいとても安くて快適で何よりスタッフがフレンドリーなので次来るときもここ一択です。lockdownによりココ周辺のアトラクションにも１つも行けなかったのですぐまたきたいと思います。皆さんもこのレビューをみて是非ラサモーテルに泊まってみてください。間違いありません。

Great and friendly service, nice room.

Very warm and welcomming couple, that provide a great service, which you won't find in many places. The owner told me that he used to work as a quality manager in a large cooperation, and that he uses his experience and knowledge to focus on costumer need/satisfaction. He an his wife will provide you with useful information about the area, and you will feel very welcome whenever you meet them. The rooms are basic but very clean and with a good bed, TV and a good air condition. They will clean it every day, if you put the sign on the door.

Useful information as of 24 July 2019:
Bus 102 runs directly to/from the airport (but only every 60/80 minutes).
Bus 101 runs to/from Komtar in Georgetown, from where you can go to the airport and rest of the island. The buses are cheap, bring small money, as you don't get any change! (oneway from airport, about 5-6 Ringgit).
44 Ringgit for a oneway to the airport with Grab at 8am.
Eat at the food market that opens at 19pm, it's cheap and great!
The beach is great, but not for swimming for very small children (it's got a swell).
Bus 101 takes you to the national park, from where you can hike in the jungle (medium/hard) to Monkey Beach, which is beautiful. It takes around 1,5 hours each way. Bring plenty of water. Or you can go by boat from the entrance of the park. Each boat is 50 Ringgit oneway, no matter the number of persons.
The Spice garden is okay, can be reached by bus 101 or by foot/3K.

オーナーが親切なホテル

部屋は新しい棟で清潔感があり、掃除も綺麗に掃除されていました。今回はひとり旅でしたが、1番大きなスーツケース２つ広げても問題なさそうでした。
色々ホテルを探していて、マレーシアではフェイスタオルがない所が多いようでフェイスタオルは捨ててもいい物をもって行きました。バスタオルはあります。アメニティはないので歯ブラシ、シャンプー、トリートメント類、スリッパなど持って行ったほうがいいです。ボディソープはありました。
ドライヤーがないので、海外対応ドライヤーを持って行ったほうがいいかもしれません。
これも東南アジアでは結構あると思うのですがトイレとシャワーに仕切りがないです。カーテンもないです。なので使い終わるとトイレ側まで濡れます。私はビーサンを持参しました。（ホステル側でも用意されていました）寝る前に浴びて朝起きたら乾いてました。ただし、乾燥のボタンを押し忘れた時は朝浴びて夜帰っても濡れていました。
クーラーは快適に使えました。
テレビは映らなくて、以前レビューにテレビが見れなかったと書いてあったのを思い出して、これかと思いましたが、オーナーに聞いたら部屋に来て設定してくれました。レビューに書いた人は多分聞かなかったんだと思います。
シャワーの水圧は十分で、湯加減も良かったです。私はふだん40度くらいで、シャワーのメモリは2時くらいを指してました。
クーラーもシャワーも2Aのボタンを押さないと稼働しませんのでご注意を。
私の携帯の問題だと思うのですが、WiFiが部屋で使えませんでした。携帯はSIMフリーで現地でSIMを購入することをお勧めします。安いし、観光に行きかたなど調べるのに便利です。
またペナンに行った際は、泊まりたいです！

レストランやビーチまで少し歩きます。ビーチは思ったより近くはないですが、許容範囲。
夜は通り沿いにナイトマーケットが出て賑やかです。
年季の入った建物で部屋は狭いが、このエリアでは値段相応といった感じ。建物の裏に洗濯物が干せます。

とてもフレンドリーなスタッフでした。部屋は清潔で快適でした。シャワーの湯量もよく、快適でした。ビーチに近く便利でした。空港まではバスで4リンギット、タクシーよりはるかに安いです。また来たいです。
