Very good hostel. It's very clean also. The manager is adorable and gives you good advice on what to visit. The bed is very comfy and you get your privacy easily with the curtain. I loved it. A washing machine is also available .

The apartment is located in a great location. The facilities are simple. It was super clean and so far best accommodation I had in Malaysia on a low budget. The owners were also super nice. When we had an issue they quickly responded, helped and accommodated us. The owner also stepped by to check up on us and gave us a great list of recommendations for Penang.

Rooms very clean and modern, entire property has been renovated recently I would think and to a high standard. It has shared bathrooms but honestly there are so many that it feels like you have a private bathroom. Cleaned daily (toilets and common areas). Aircon is new and very strong, never need to worry about being too hot. The location is perfectly situated, buses run right outside if you need to reach any activities (Penang Hill or Park) and there are many restaurants/bars within a 3 minute walk. The guys working here were super nice, always on WhatsApp with updates, recommendations, etc. It was such a good location that we extended and additional 3 days.

All hostels in Butterworth

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
