Läget var bra
Inte bra sängar, gamla och gungiga. Bra att toaletterna städades ofta, men tyvärr nästan alltid blött på golven eftersom dessa (och även toaletterna) spolades med vatten
Everything
The other guests that can stay quiet at night.
Location
Light inside the room yellow dark, will be good if white & bright, as the room without window.
Good for solo travellers and clean bathroom
Nothing
Nice place to stay in the middle of the city!
For the money - nothing...
The room was comfortable, with air conditioning and shared bathroom. The bed was comfortable too.
I didn't like much the room was without a window. There was air conditioning, but it was a bit sad. I tried to spend time outside, but there is no common area with tables or chairs. I advise considering to add one!
De locatie is perfect. Alles in de stad is op wandelafstand. Het was ook echt niet duur.
De faciliteiten waren wat beperkt, wc's waren niet echt schoon en er was geen wc papier. Bij aankomst spraken we een heel vriendelijke man die ons advies gaf over plekken om heen te gaan. Later had ik een vraag en was hij helaas nergens te bekennen. De andere man in het hostel was niet zo behulpzaam dus dat was jammer. Er zit geen glas in de ramen, alleen luiken. Hierdoor kon elk dier uit de omgeving, en de wat smerige lucht van de straat de kamer in.
Staff ramah
Beberapa saya menginap tidak ada kendala
Simple, la climatisation agréable et nécessaire
Le ménage des parties communes n ont pa été fait
They let us check in early, the rooms were clean and spacious, and they took no deposit 😀
Excellent stay in a great location, stayed for 3 nights and was greeted by the lovely Jacky, he was so welcoming and informative and gave us all the best suggestions of things to see and do. A minute away from bus stop and 7 eleven, with plenty of atms near by. The rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. Shower/ toilets were clean and plenty on each floor so you don’t have to worry about waiting for others to finishing using the facilities. Kitchen provided hot/ cold water, plates and cutlery and sink to clean dishes.

Has to be a Ten from myself and my daughter. Supwr Peaceful vibes and easy attitudes, very easy to relax and feel at home. Extremely clean throughout. Plenty of bathroom facilities, excellent air con, kitchen kettles etc. Hot showers. Wonderful.building creating a.superb large and spacious home. Good stuff, v helpful and also personable. The floors and walls are thin but quiet times are observed by other guestsband the sleep is very good. Would def recommend highly. Thanks 🙏
Nothing to.not like imho.
Nice stay, comfortable beds and good air con. Clean and tidy also quiet for a good sleep. Close to the central area. And main bus stop
Had a nice stay. The staff not so chatty but comfortable place
Cheap accommodation and good location for short stay
Staff is very friendly and always happy to help and have a chat. Felt very welcome. The room is spacious with a queen sized bed and comfortable enough to sleep. you also have a computer table. The location is right in the centre but away from hearing the traffic. Showers are good and there is free filtered water and a small kitchen area to use.
There is a speaker close by so you hear the Muslim prayers multiple times a day including early morning. Very unpleasant. No windows in the room so no natural light coming through. Overall though good value for money and you have what you need so I recommend the place
We stayed at the We Love Guest House for a total of three nights. The reception was very quick and the location in the center of Chinatown is very convenient. There are plenty of food options nearby, even if you're not on a bike or scooter (which I would always recommend in Penang). The rooms are very basic and literally have nothing more than a bed (we stayed in a double room with two single beds). There are plenty of bathrooms available, which were also cleaned regularly. There is a small kitchenette, but we didn't use it as there is a wide range of cheap and very good food in Penang. For a stay in a guesthouse, which is actually more like a youth hostel, the overall experience was fine.
There is not much to complain about when you consider the price to be paid. The rooms are very basic and the mattresses of the beds are not really good. They are very soft and in our case were a bit saggy.
The guesthouse is very friendly, centrally located, walking distance to main sites in Georgetown and Chulia street with pubs & bars. The bus station is 2 minutes round the corner, so does 7 Eleven and many good local restaurants. There's also a self-laundry on the other side of the street. The staff is nice and helpful, Jackie is very talkative and makes the atmosphere very warm. He speaks good English and gave me a lot of useful information when I arrived. I had a single room, but I was upgraded to a double one upstairs. You have Aircon in the room, shared bathrooms and kitchen equipped with filtered water, a fridge, and a small gas cooker.
Cleaness can be definitely improved, especially in the kitchen and in the fridge that hasn't been cleaned maybe for ages. There's no common sitting area. The courtyard that had chairs and a table in the photos is now the place where a lady washes her clothes every day.
Must to stay if you’re budget travelers or to love for travel
If you stay for a while, I’m not sure you complain something
The guesthouse is very centrally located, and the rooms and sanitary facilities are exceptionally clean, making it a perfect choice. The host is incredibly helpful and provides great tips on where to find affordable beer and good food. It was a truly wonderful stay.
The only negative aspect was that the beds were quite saggy, but I won’t deduct any points for this as I still slept well.
Definitely a rustic property but just added to the character of the town we absolutely fell in love with! Not only were the hosts super friendly and helpful but the location is perfection. Would’ve stayed forever!
As soon as we walked in, it wasn't just your key thrown at you. Jackie gave us a detailed plan of what the island had to offer along with a map. It was a very warm welcome.
The shortness of our stay.
Very nice and helpful staff, good location
Not enough storage space in the room
Everything. First of all the staff has been the nicest, especially the owner, helping us with absolutely everything and finding solutions always. The price was possibly one of the cheapest in georgetown and the location was perfect. The rooms were clean and big enough. It has kitchen so it allows you to cook on your own
The kitchen wasn’t the cleanest, but this belongs to the users (customers)
Staff was super responsive
The building is old and a bit messy but if you plan to spend most of the day outside that is fine
The staff was super kind and helpful! We had some chats about the city and everything and it was so nice. The place is very well located, the room was clean (I had one private room) and the bathrooms were too. There are not common areas in case you are looking for it. Many restaurants and super cute cafés nearby.
My room had no window so I missed the sunlight. And they had some fisht tanks which I hate because animals belong to wild nature! But for the rest everything well.
friendly staff, excellent location

Location
No problems
Friendly staff, air conditioning worked well, and very good location. The bathrooms and showers were clean. There is a cold/hot water dispenser available at all times.
- Good staffs and owner, friendly. - Shower has hot water, clean too - Very comfortable bed sheets, had a good sleep
- Room light is pretty dim - The sound proof is not that good as it is wooden made, hence walking along the corridor is very audible. Suggest to bring earplugs.
Emmm old building , flexible but abit noise
Emmm
The location close to Chow Rasta market and lots of other eateries and bus connections. The Guesthouse has a CAT bus stop nearby. Street is quiet at night despite the central location. Friendly staff. Great value for money -many bathrooms and toilets to use; shower soap provided.
Nothing really. Perhaps the Guesthouse can consider supplying slippers to use for the common areas.
Big room, good bathroom & toilet, & facility & informative staff
When we arrived we were immediately welcomed by the owner. He informed us about all that was to do on the area near the hotel and surroundings. I loved the vibe of the hostel. The share rooms and toilet building.
The room had a carpet. I am allergic to dust. But I don’t tell anything. Other than that, the rooms were perfect. Good bed and good pillows.
It was one of the best accomodations when it góral about customer service. I was sick and contacted with them about that and the owner help us a lot- he took us to pharmacy and shown us the best medicine. Also the room was comfortable and clean. Toilet is very basic but also very clean and have hanger and shelf to put your things there. Also location is perfect, you are in centre but it is quiet there during the night
Nice location, big room, clean, a lot of bathrooms, quiet but ear to everything
There's a kitchen but nowhere to cook
Great location and spacious room. The owner was very kind to provide information on what to visit in Georgetown !
Clean toilets and shower
The staff is friendly and helpful
The room, the bed and the air-cond.
The parking space which is hard to find the empty parking. But its okay not a big problem.
location very good ,around place got a lot of place to eat.

The Guest House, need some qr code for grab to scan for taxi to help people who do not know, also maybe a few cycle or scooter for rent .
I gave this lovely place a 9 and not a 10 as it is a guesthouse, and some people may expect more. For me - it is an ideal place to stay in downtown Penang. I love it, and can't wait to go back!
Nothing.
Owner was super helpful, gave us a map on arrival and showed us the best places to go. Location was very good. Air con was great. Bathrooms were mostly very clean.
Kitchen facilities were deceiving, we bought some fresh food to cook in the kitchen but there was no gas. We spoke to young staff member and he said he would go to a market and get some, but 3 days later and the gas was still not there meaning our groceries went bad and we wasted money.
Great staff, very cheap, good location
Reasonable price, nice staff and decent location
The room was very grotty with no windows
Very friendly owners and relaxed atmosphere! The bed was very comfortable and facilities clean! Kitchen also to make ypur own food if you prefer! Location was perfect for exploring ! Food in penang is exceptional as there is so much choice ! There is also night market Street food also very close by with nuce choice and ambience. Travel is easy as buses stop are 3 mins walk ! I would say this is good value for money!
Good location, friendly staff who is always happy to give good tips about the area.
The hygiene in the building was poor. Bed sheets and pillow felt extremely cheap and worn out and also with some stains. Common toilets are not clean and there are also cockroaches and mice in the building (I saw both). They do put mice traps next to the rooms so they won't come in, but overall even for a budget hostel it's well below average for cleanliness and hygiene. I'm not sure if I would return here to be honest
Friendly manager

Location was great, the staff welcomed us and showed us places to visit on the map, bathrooms were clean and aircon worked well :)
The only light in the room was the main light so this was far too bright in the evenings so needed a lamp, and there was a fish in the fish tank in reception that had died and it was left there for a few days until there was a skeleton left… however it was overall a pleasant stay for the price :)! i would recommend!
It’s cheap as chips and you get what you pay for - no more and no less. The location is amazing. WiFi worked well and the older Malay host nice and friendly.
Was no toilet paper for my morning duty and urine all over the toilet seat so couldn’t use alternative methods. Mosque call scared the life out of me shaking the whole room in the morning - but think that’s hard to avoid in Penang.
The host was friendly. The place was clean and the location is very convenient. There is a bus stop near the guesthouse where you can take the bus to go to places like Kek Lok Si, Penang Hill, etc. Overall it’s a nice experience staying here.

Friendly people!
At the time of my stay they had a bit of problems with the wifi but they were on to it and it’s probably fixed by now.
The staff here, special mention to Stan, were so helpful and welcoming. He gave so many recommendations! It really helps to make a place feel like home when this is the case. The property is in a good location too.
The bathrooms/showers/communal kitchen area could have perhaps been a little cleaner.
Great location, great staff. I felt so comfortable. When I arrived I got a map and an awesome explanation about the busses, sightseeings, night markets, where to eat etc. Would book again.
I left after one night due to the state of the bathrooms. The toilets were pretty filthy and had poop stains and there was no toilet paper or hand soap. The guy at the front desk was nice, and I understand it’s a budget accommodation, but I was expecting it to be clean based off the reviews. Just wanted to write this to warn other travelers. The owner was nice and apologetic when I told him I was going to leave early, but honestly you can stay in much cleaner places in Georgetown if you’re willing to pay a bit more money.
Great place to stay and very kind and helpful staff. Comfortable accomodations in a good location.
The location is good and central. The room size was pretty good.
The hygene of the place is not very good. The shared toilets in the ground floor are a disaster. The bed covers and towels are not washed very well, as I spotted some stains on them. The overall atmosphere of the place is pretty bad.
most of their rooms look like a jail, with no windows and just a small bed in a corner. fortunately they gave me an "upgrade" with a small window and shower in room. location is great
The room has the bare minimum. The shower was full of hair.
