This was on of our favourite stays in Penang. The staff are absolutely lovely, the breakfasts great (and changed regularly) and the Inn is full of charm and character. We really enjoyed the bustling location of Little India. There are many excellent places to eat locally and the on-site bistro is great for a drink, meal and people and streetscape watching.

Excellent heritage boutique hotel and the location is an extra bonus. Staff is very courteous. A tip is to not eat a very heavy dinner the night before as the breakfast is superb and you can't do justice to it if you've had too much to eat the night before.

It was super comfortable, the little bunks had everything you need and the whole place was spotlessly clean! But the woman who runs the hostel was the highlight - she was incredibly friendly and gave me lots of great recommendations for where to eat in Georgetown.

This is a great place to stay for travellers! The location is very central and it’s very clean and comfortable. There is bread from a local bakery every morning for free which is amazing, and water, coffee, and milo sachets are available throughout the day for free also! There was a lovely handwritten note and toothbrushes available which was so sweet and welcoming and we would definitely stay here again. The staff are lovely and smiley too.
