I have been staying in this hostel twice each time I travel to Penang to see my dentist for my new braces. My first time travel to Penang was somewhere March 2012 which I booked the room via online. I booked a sharing room but managed to upgrade to the suite on the next day. The staff are very polite... More

We were very happy to find the Ryokan, especially since our prior explorations revealed the Penang budget options to be sorely lacking. Ryokan being targeted at "flashpackers", it cost more than we usually pay, but we felt it was a worthwhile investment considering the quality of the facilities. My partner and I stayed in one of the "deluxe" double room... More

Good overall. Showers awesome simple breakfast was also good. Can't go wrong with toast and coffee. Air conditioning beds Internet access was good. Though blankets could be softer. It's a little hard but keeps in the warmth. It's walking distance to a lot of good places to see and eat and you get a good sense of what it's like... More

The staff there are good but not awesome. Have stayed in other hostels and for a modern and chic hostel like this the staff should be a bit more proactive and enthusiastic so that guests would feel more excited to be there. Lack of interaction but otherwise great location.

It must have been one of the best experiences so far in my trip. Even though i arrived sick, ryokan gave a top notched hospitality in its staff, the immaculate cleanliness, excellent infrastructure and overall conducivenews and comfort. I would definitely definitely come back to this hostel. Oh did i mention the iPad? Just incredible!

The staff there was awesome. They are very friendly =) The environment is good. The location there is very convenient. No transport needed, just walk around the street, you can find places to visit and foods to eat. It is worth the money to stay here. I'm gonna be back again.

I have been tottally kicked out to the street from this hotel, just because the management is not experienced and the hotel is too young. I would not recommend this to anyone at least for a couple of years before they get some knowledge in the hotel management.

Dear danilr, Thank you for leaving us your comment on TripAdvisor. However, your recollection of the event is shockingly inaccurate as we did not 'kick' you out of our hostel nor at any circumstance did we ask you to leave. I am sure that you are aware that we are in the hospitality business, and therefore, we welcome guests instead... More
