Small, sparse, but clean with a comfortable bed. The shared kitchen was nice. It's not bad if you're just spending one night before flying out. It was noisy though and the shoddy and bad DIY construction of everything was distracting and ruined what could have been a charming stay.
Don't expect to get a good night's rest here. It's very noisy and you will be woken up early by the mosque at 5 am and again at 6 am (they do 2 call to prayers in Penang).

On my first day, upon arrival, the staff welcomed me and generously offered to give me complimentary breakfast, although it is not included in my booking. The staff are also proactive, in the sense they approach me with further descriptions of the services included in the offer. They also told me they are ready to give me all information I may need for moving around in the city.
With this being said, I have extended my stay at this hotel and will have it as my first option when I come to Penang in the future. One more note is that the value for money is great here. It is an unbeatable price given the...
