Don’t judge a book by its cover
Reviewed By ch00sen1The building where the room is placed is very dodgy. However the moment u step in to their hotel you will be amazed with Service, friendliness,design and cleanliness. Very well managed and amazed how a small space can be managed such a way. Breakfast is prepared internally no option but I think it’s fine. Coffee is free flow. Would recommend this place

Dirty rooms
Reviewed By BaileyCooThis hostel is called milky coat & sunny side to not confuse people. The rooms at “sunny side” are dirty, have thin walls (can hear absolutely everything next door says/does). The WiFi didn’t work at all, air con didn’t work, the room smelt strange and unclean. Wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. The only positive was getting out with a full refund.

8. The Frame Guesthouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 249 reviews
The Frame Guesthouse is three storey heritage shophouse in Georgetown, Penang which previously a frame maker shop. Based on the belief in authenticity, functionality and material that age beautifully, we chose to restore the highly necessary in the guesthouse and hence preserve the rest. Much of this space was left as it was found before the renovation with rough, peeling walls and electrical cables installed on the surface. The guesthouse which is located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, near to most of the famous tourist attraction. It is a best accommodation for traveler who looking for unique and unforgettable stay on budget.
Good hostel and location
Reviewed By Bdawg-DdawgBooked here for New Year’s Eve and ended up staying four nights. There is literally zero vibe here so if you’re looking for a social place not the one. This wasn’t an issue for us though. The hostel is in an amazing local. Super close to love lane. Not a far walk from the ferry. Lots of street food around. Overall the stay was good. The breakfast goes until noon which is a big plus. It’s basic but really filling at the same time. The rooms were clean as well as the bathrooms. The sheets were a little too stained for me but I am picky that’s why I travel with a silk liner. The air con was great. The staff were quite helpful in helping us get around. The downsides: The wifi would cut out quite a bit. This happened a lot at night and was rather annoying. And the hostel is right across the street from a mosque. We were woken up every single morning at 5am and then again at 6am with the noise from the mosque. It was frustrating because after the 5am wake up it would be hard to fall back asleep but you could always count on the 6am to keep you up even longer. I’m sure if the room was a little further back from the street it wouldn’t have overly affected us. Just a warning that it is a little noisy here. We would stay again despite both of these negatives.
9. The 80's Guesthouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 261 reviews
The 80's Guesthouse is the latest vintage guesthouse by Old Penang Guesthouse. It is located at 100 year old shop houses in Georgetown, Penang. The concept of renovation rests on a clear contrast of what is old and new. All effort has been made to preserve as much of the character of the existing building as possible.
troublesome check in
Reviewed By Leuc815i arrived in penang in the morning, so i asked the staff if i could do early check in, but they said it's unavailable until 2pm. when i arrived at the hostel, the door was locked. i called and the staff told me to wait as the other staff is coming over from the other guesthouse to do check in for me. i waited for almost half an hour then the staff arrived. it is disappointing and it is very tiring to wait and wait. other than that, everything is fine
