The room rate is ok. The first room given at the second floor had musky, urine smell. It was changed to another room at the third floor. Everyday, there is one lady who would giggle and laugh when entering her room just next door. The opposite building is dirty with foreign workers staying inside. The level is the same and so can see everything. The drainage is blocked which leads to the stench smelled in the bathroom. There are ants at the narrow table and next to the bed.

NO FRILLS HOTEL WITH CONVENIENT LOCATION

Very budget/basic Hotel with the low price you paying for. It does not provide any toothpaste, slipper, shaving kit like most of the hotel would provide. Hotel location is good. Bus stop with 200meters walking distance with many bus services to many parts of Penang. Direct bus service from Penang airport at only RM 1.40, very good for tourist with light luggage. Food outlets/shopping malls within walking distance. Giant Hypermarket just across the road. Sound-proofing among the rooms is bad and can hear many noises outside. Hotel Reception Service need to be improved.

Booked the room for Penang Bridge Marathon. Initially was assigned to Room 316. There was ongoing construction works when I trued to enter. Went back down to reception, waiting for 10 minutes, was reassigned room 318. At 10pm when we were getting ready to sleep, received a call to change back to room 316. Was told thar room 318 roof's was leaking and repair works would be carried out tomorrow. Was not informed about this when we checked in! Fortunately, it did not rain earlier. Room was dirty after the recent construction works. Pungent cigarette smell. Walls were thin, can't sleep at all. Conversation next door was loud. Not recommended. Was not rested at all before the run. No parking available. Need to pay for public parking spaces. If you want a place for the marathon, suggest to book a place next to Queensbay mall. To avoid the hassle of going to the starting point. Also, for a better rest.

Simple and quiet hotel

I booked this hotel via expedia only less than a week before my trip and I had requested 2 rooms. My booking details mentioned 2 rooms but when I checked in, they said it was for 1 room. I had to show them my booking details for them to make the necessary changes. The lobby looks simple and clean as it was just renovated. The rooms were clean and the toilet was acceptable. Only problem was the towels had a funny industrial smoke smell. Or maybe it was being stored in a plastic bag for too long. Even though it's an old building, I'll give a thumbs up for their lift as it's in tip top condition.

If you stay for more than a night, make sure you update your access card at the receptionist otherwise you will end up angry not being able to access your room. The water heater is so unpredictable. Hope they will repair it soon.

Poor night's sleep and no airport benefit...

Chose this hotel because it was close to the airport and we had an early flight. Regretted it... despite being a 5 min drive the taxi the hotel organised was expensive. The rooms have seemingly paper thin walls, the mosque across the road was going full blast until 11.30pm and then some noisy guests next door took up the reigns until about 2am.

The result was little sleep and a taxi that would have been the same from a much nicer hotel we'd stayed at in George Town previously.

One to forget.

Large Bathroom, cheap rates but no 'view'

Nice hotel staff; 1st room offered to me had a terrible smell (cigarette) and there was no window at all; I turned to the front desk lady she quickly upgraded it for me from standard to a larger room which does have a window (unable to open though). Even though smell was still unpleasant but better. The bathroom was big, bed was big, ... all I needed. Don't quite recommend it however, reason I chose it was b'coz of the location, close to the SPICE arena, I walked 20mins to get there. Olive Tree Hotel was just cross the street but fully booked :(

Good for us

We have family that lives within two minutes walk of this place, so it was very convenient for us. Walking distance to the markets and Sunshine, Giant across the road and the bus stops right next door.

We stayed two weeks, in 108. It is a bit noisy due to it being next to the lobby. One receptionist lets the phones ring 3 times before answering. One night I heard very loud wok noises and another night a bunch of noisy Chinese tourists. Fortunately we live usually on a busy road at home, so we could sleep, but if you are a light sleeper, I would ask for a higher floor.

We bought our own shampoo, conditioner, mosquito repellent, plastic cup and dish soap for the room.

We would stay again because of the convenience for us to family, but many others would only stay here because of convenience to factories.

You get more than what you paid for

A pretty good experience for its price (35AUD per night)

The hotel lacks certain amenities but it has all your rudimentary needs.

Rooms are not very spacious but the bathroom definitely is very luxurious despite not having a bathtub

WiFi speed fluctuates and can sometimes be really fast

The facility is pretty modern and comes with flatscreen TV
TV channel includes BBC, Fox Movie and Discovery channel

The beds are reasonably comfortable but can certainly be improved

The room walls are peeling off and it is very unappealing to the hotel patrons

It is nearby a food court and shopping mall (5 minutes walk) about 25 minutes to George Town (City Center of Penang) with Uber

Very happy with my 35 AUD, definitely will book for this hotel again

Room is simple but its cleanliness is what matters the most to me. The staff was so friendly they greeted you like friends. Nice hotel, affordable price!

Only disadvantage is the relatively farther distance away from Queensbay, which is still an acceptable 3-min ride away.

Will definitely recommend again.
