George Town Hostels

Pros: Such a pity that service was not professional because the location of this budget hotel was great for foodies like us.

Cons: Fair enough we arrived early at 1.30pm and the room wasn't ready. After going through process of checking in any paying, We sat at the lobby to cool down after a long walk. Requested the girl at the reception counter to inform us when the room is ready and we can go to our room. There were no other guests at the lobby. At 2.10pm, we went forward to ask her if the room was ready, she was playing with her handphone. Only then did she bother to call up housekeeping. Then told us the room was still being cleaned and it would take a little while more. Finally we had to ask another male employee who came to the lobby to check on our room's readiness. Such poor reception. When we got into our room, the floor was still wet from the mopping.

Pros: Good location & service and clean, will come & stay again for our next visit to Penang

Pros: Our neighbors made some noises during the night so it was disturbing our sleep. We came to the reception in the morning next day and we got a new room.

Cons: The AC doesn’t work well in the room without window. Cleanness in the bathroom wasn’t the best, there was hair on the floor and some random flip flops (I’ve never meet with that before).

Pros: Free breakfast, good Wifi, central location

Pros: The terrace only

Cons: I know this is a budget hotel but the breakfast was poor. Room was also much smaller than expected

Pros: The breeze on the roof top.

Cons: Air conditioning did not work,neither did the hot water. Arrived at the hotel and the lady on the front desk had a bad attitude which we did not like after we had been travelling for 18 hours. Photos on booking.com were very old as it did not look like them. No window in room.

Cons: Please don't use instant coffee for breakfast.

Pros: good value, near all the best attractions

Pros: comfortable and nice..easy to go to many place around by foot

Cons: nothing

Pros: Love the location. Money well spent.

Cons: This is the second time I've choose to stay in Apollo Inn. I'm quite disappointed with the room that was given to me @ 406. 1. Though windows are provided in the room, the room look shady. It was quite dim. 2. Room 405 is very noisy. There are people singing from 9pm to 12am (for all 3 nights that I've been there). Though singing in the mosque nearby at Ard 5am is quite acceptable. Room is suitable for ppl that sleep late or bad with their hearing.
