GP Hostel Penang

“Cozy, but with smell of wetness”

It’s okay for this price: no bags, air‑con works, Wi‑Fi works, hot water in the bathroom, hot and cold water in the kitchen. The strong smell of wetness and mold made me feel allergic.

“Don't choose this place unless you're really broke”

Leaving. The owner doesn’t care about you as a guest—just wants money for every single little request while not paying attention to the facilities, which are in poor condition. I had spider webs and bugs in my room, which was right next to the street. There were wasp nests on the metal bars that act as a window because there’s no glass. If you can spend a bit more, please choose another place to stay.

“Extremely uncomfortable place and no redeeming qualities.”

There was nothing to like. The bed was terrible and very uncomfortable; I was miserable. There was no place to cook, no cups even. This is the worst place I have ever stayed.

This place has 8 rooms, only 2 bathrooms, one upstairs, one downstairs, shared with people you don’t know—keep that in mind if you bring family. The mattress and pillow are okay, but the blanket is dusty. The rooms are clean, not bad. The room with air‑con is noisy. The toilets (upstairs and downstairs) are unclear because I don’t use them; there are no pipes for showers and the like. You have to bring your own containers from home to use as a toilet. Very non‑Muslim friendly. I know this hostel is Chinese owned, but can’t they put a pipe? It’s so bad.

I was impressed by how tidy everything was.
