Thank you to the friendly shop owner for providing such a great resting environment, which added to the beauty of my trip to Penang. My roommates are all quiet, the atmosphere is good, and the hygiene is qualified. I will choose this place again next time I come!

I was here at a solo female traveler. The owner was so friendly and so courteous she helped me so much and im so thankful for that. I felt really safe in that hostel and the location was great. Everything you need was just a few minutes walk away. The room was clean and everything was organized Would definitely come again

Environment: It's full of girls, mainly Europeans, Chinese and Chinese, which makes me feel like I'm back in the dormitory when I was in school. As long as you take the initiative, the youth hostel is the best place to find a partner. Service: The boss lady works in the laundry next door and is very approachable.

The location is close to the ferry port, 3/5 minutes walk from the Blue House, and 15 minutes walk from the sister and brother bike check-in point. It is a youth apar**ent for girls. It feels like you are young again, but you are no longer with the people you live with. I feel like chatting all over the world. I met a beautiful girl from Wenzhou who gave me a lot of inspiration. The landlady Jean is really super attentive, considerate, clean and well-educated. She is busy in the laundry opposite and comes back from time to time to check in the guests. There were 6 or 7 girls staying that night. Most of them were Europeans and backpackers. Before leaving, I called Grab. While waiting for the bus downstairs, I chatted with a beautiful woman who had stayed in the clinic for 5 days. She kept talking excitedly about Penang Hill. The monkeys, the sculptures in the temple, she seems to be more buddist than me, I regret not chatting together at night 😂 If you are young and living in George Town, Penang, you can stay here. Not bad👍

The boss is super nice. It’s very comfortable to live in. The bed is big, it’s not hot and has air conditioning. The boss can speak Chinese and everyone is very quiet at night. There is a convenience store next to it and many restaurants nearby. Everything is very close. There is a self-service laundry room opposite. It can be washed and dried in an hour. It’s not expensive and you can wash a lot of clothes. The environment is really clean. I recommend it! It’s not a swipe, because it’s just so good hahahahahahahahaha

You probably can’t find a youth hostel in Penang with such a good environment and affordable price. It’s very close to Chinatown, about ten minutes’ walk. There are many very interesting shops nearby. Penang is perfect for hanging out.

The room is extremely clean! Sleeping is so refreshing! The sheets and bedding have no smell and smell good! If you are traveling for a long time, you can send your clothes to Boss De Laundry for a very low fee! I had the happiest time here because it is very safe and it is so convenient to go anywhere. It is very close to famous attractions such as Penang Hill and Nyonya Museum. You can get there quickly by just taking a taxi! It’s also very close to the boat arrival station! Since I had a train ticket back to Kuala Lumpur at 6:20 in the morning and could not take a boat, the boss Jean helped me find an Indian driver whom she was familiar with. He came to pick me up around 5 in the morning. The whole journey was very safe and the charges were reasonable. I will definitely stay here again next time I come. It is very safe, and I also found little sisters to play with. This trip to Penang was so happy that I don’t want to go back to China at all! ! ! Next time I come here, I will stay for at least half a month. You are so kind,Jean.Thank you very much!!!!
