Hostels in Penang, Malaysia

A decent option for an overnight stay near the airport. It has good air conditioning, two ceiling fans, a shower with hot water, nice bedding and towels. There's a water cooler with hot and cold water (located in the smoking area), and an iron available at the front desk. They immediately provided a plug adapter at reception upon request. The staff are friendly. A taxi from the hotel to the airport costs 10-15 ringgit. Regarding the downsides: you have to take off your shoes at the hotel entrance, but they provide a shoe locker with a key to keep them secure. I was also given a room whose window faced the reception, specifically it was right behind the receptionist's back, but it was quiet at night and I managed to get a good night's sleep, so that didn't bother me.

The hotel's location is excellent and easy to find. My room was a bit close to the road, so it was quiet at night but a little noisy during the day. The rooftop is also a great spot for drying clothes.

I was very satisfied with my overall experience at this hotel! First and foremost, the most convenient aspect was the airport transfer service. The driver was punctual and friendly, making the journey from the airport to the hotel very smooth. I didn't have to worry about transportation or getting lost at all. This service is truly thoughtful, especially for first-time visitors to the city. The hotel's hygiene was also quite impressive. Whether it was the lobby, elevators, or inside the rooms, everything was meticulously cleaned, and the air was fresh with no unpleasant odors. The bed in the room was soft and comfortable, the bathroom was clean and tidy, and all the towels and amenities were well-stocked, making for a very reassuring stay. The daily cleaning service was also excellent; the staff would proactively clean and replenish daily necessities. The location was also fantastic. The hotel is situated in a very convenient area with many restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores nearby. You can easily find food or daily essentials within a short walk. Whether you want to try local specialties or just grab a quick meal, it's incredibly easy. Moreover, the hotel is not far from shopping malls and public transportation, making it convenient for taking a taxi or public bus.

I stayed for 3 nights! The room felt quite clean since shoes weren't allowed inside. The wet areas were also cleaned several times a day! For breakfast, there was toast with two kinds of jam, butter, and watermelon. For the price, I can't complain, haha. There's also a water dispenser for both hot and cold water! Be aware that outside noise can be an issue and a lot of mosquitoes get into the room, so you'll need to take precautions! The air conditioning works perfectly! Oh, and there was a cat meowing constantly, haha.

The rooms, bathrooms, and public areas are all very clean, with daily housekeeping and a dedicated drying rack for clothes. The public areas are spacious, and there's also a rooftop and a kitchen. I arrived late on the day of check-in, and the main gate (pictured in photo 5) was locked. You need to go to the small iron gate on the right side of the photo and either call or knock to see if anyone is at the front desk to let you in.

The staff at the hotel is so friendly and welcoming. Excellent service. The room is spacious, clean and bed very comfortable.  Walking distance to Gurney drive and Gurney promenade. Early morning watch sun rises over the horizon. The promenade is big and clean. People jogging.  Food court nearby.  Hotel 22 is the most colourful hotel in the area and can be seen from a distance.  Would recommend anyone to stay in Hotel 22 if they are on the budget.

Best night ever 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The hotel management is good they do the room cleaning service on time and overall the room are spacious and air condition with free wifi and hot and cold water is also there

Excellent value for money! The room was spacious, and the whole place was clean and tidy. The owner is a Malaysian Chinese, so you can communicate in simple Mandarin, which is super convenient for Chinese guests who aren't fluent in English. The location is pretty good too; there's a bus stop nearby, and it's only about a 10-minute walk to the heart of Georgetown. All in all, at this price point, it's undoubtedly the king of value for money.

The room was clean and tidy, the facilities were complete, the front desk service was very good, and the check-in was very smooth. The surrounding transportation is convenient, there are supermarkets and restaurants nearby, the price is very high, suitable for family travel and business accommodation, the overall experience is satisfactory, I will recommend friends to come again.
