"I had a good stay at Tido's. Highlights have definitely been the easy-going reception staff as well the lovely common area on the top floor. I would recommend anyone visiting Penang to stay here. It's centrally located and has a 24 hour reception. The staff are accommodating and the area itself is convenient. The only wish for improvement is for the toilets and bathrooms to be cleaned daily. But in general the hostel is well kept :)"

He even prepared me a tea in the morning, explained how to explore George Town in a day (coz I was there for one day only), even help me sorted with my lost baggage issues. Would stay more days in the future trip to Penang."

PARKROYAL Penang Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great Resort, Breakfast Buffet was amazing"

The Granite Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the welcoming drink and 'freezing' cold towel to cool us down at the reception when we checked in. Room was very spacious and clean. Also appreciate the complimentary teas and coffee. We only drink coffees in the morning and we stayed 3 nights but there were only 2 pods so we had to ask for more for the next day. Everything else was great. Appreciate that they offered free shuttle to a few places of interest. Staff was very friendly & helpful. "
