Hostels in Penang, Malaysia

The location is excellent, making it an ideal spot for exploring George Town's Old City. The common lounge area is very spacious, with plenty of seating and even areas to relax, truly designed for your comfort and preference. It's impeccably clean; you can constantly see the staff working diligently to maintain hygiene all day long. A truly thoughtful touch is the row of drying racks; you can hang your clothes there, and they usually dry by the next evening, thanks to the circulating fans. The staff's service is exceptional. When I mentioned my skin allergies were causing itchiness at night and requested a sheet change, a staff member promptly and efficiently replaced them for me without any hesitation. Furthermore, on my last day, as I had an early flight, a kind staff member reminded me to arrange my check-out the day before, since their working hours start at 7:00 AM and I had to leave by 5:30 AM. I would certainly come back and stay here again.

I used to stay here on n off almost 6months +, I considered one the best Location in terms of public transportation especially State Govt Rapid Pg covering from all four largest residents district in island and mainland, based on daily foods needed by all the tourist they many traditional n famously shop n roadside stalls selling locals delights.. Majority the prices are very reasonable n affordable.. I would say The 60 management should do something for improvement n betterments of the whole building especially within indoor parts.. Staff services getting better n improvement as I felt they're changed the cleanniness n tidyness of the main living Hall n all the toilets.. It's worth every penny I spends at the 60..

The location is very good. Bus stops are close, shopping malls are close, you can walk around Georgetown, and there are no problems with places to eat. The hotel has air conditioning and the shower has strong water pressure. Shampoo and body soap are provided, and the hair dryer is also strong and good. The toilet and shower are shared, but that's the case with most accommodations of this type. One thing that bothered me was that although it looked clean, there was a lot of hair and other things stuck on the rail of the room door. They didn't clean the small details, so it might not be suitable for people who are concerned about that. They only cleaned the surface lightly. Check-in is self-service. It's fine for people who are used to it, but it will be confusing for first-timers.

Solo trip to Penang, 4 nights from Sep 6-10, 2025. I communicated with staff exclusively via WeChat throughout my stay. What I particularly appreciated, as an introvert, was the absence of visible staff inside the hostel. This meant I didn't have to worry about passing by a front desk every time I entered or left. This self-service model, with surveillance, worked perfectly for me. The air conditioning in the room was excellent; I set it to 28 degrees Celsius, which was just right. The duvet was incredibly soft and plush, making for a very comfortable sleep. The power outlet conveniently located near the pillow was a huge plus, and the bedside lamp had adjustable brightness – a definite win! 😌 Fresh bath towels were provided regularly. The bathroom smelled delightful, with a fragrance that rivaled high-end perfumes. The toilet and shower were combined in one unit. The water heater had a wall switch that I initially missed, leading to two cold showers! Thankfully, the water wasn't freezing cold. The hairdryer was also excellent, drying my hair super quickly! 🥳 The common area offered complimentary snacks, and there was a water dispenser with cold water – a fantastic perk! 👍 Having my own bottle meant I didn't need to buy water every day 🥰. The location is superb, right in the heart of Love Lane. With a 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, and various coffee shops nearby, everything was within easy reach. Plus, the Dragon Phoenix Teahouse, only a 10-minute walk away, was so good I went twice! Access to the second floor is either via the escalator (after 10 AM) or the elevator located at the far end of the parking lot. All in all, a wonderful experience. 👌 Thank you, I truly enjoyed my trip to Penang. 🐈⬛🫶

The host was friendly to provide midnight check in and room condition was clean and tidy with good air conditioning. And the location was convenient from Queensway mall.

Staying here is very suitable and fits the needs because it is right across from the Island Penang Hospital. Breakfast is quite delicious and unlimited portions. There are sports facilities on the 2nd floor which are quite crowded and restaurants are also close to the location. Unfortunately there is no special price for those who stay more than a week, for some reason.
