Extremely convenient location, close to the sights and the eats. Very clean and tidy. Friendly and helpful staff. Nicely restored, simple yet charming. Reminiscent of the days of old. Nice TV and DVD room. Very reasonable price. What more can one ask for? Extremely convenient location, close to the sights and the eats. Very clean and tidy. Friendly and helpful staff.

definitely better than what i had expected given the low prices. the beds are comfortable, toilets clean, and it's like a mini united nations with people from all nationalities gathered at the hostel. would recommend it if you are keen on meeting people. location's great. the staff may appear cold but they are lots of fun if you take the initiative to speak to them. definitely better than what i had expected given the low prices. the beds are comfortable, toilets clean, and it's like a mini united nations with people from all nationalities gathered at the hostel. would recommend it if you are keen on meeting people. location's great. the staff may appear cold but they are lots of fun if you take the initiative to speak to them. ...Close

Overall I'm satisfied with my stay at Old Penang Guesthouse. However, I believe the bed that I use has bed bugs. The reason is because I have rashes all over my body soon after I left Old Penang. I strongly believe it's the bed because I over heard someone had the same problem. I have rashes before and due to unclean sheets or bed bugs. I don't think it's the unclean sheets because they change sheets every day. FYI, that was my second time there and would go back if I'm in Penang again.Overall I'm satisfied with my stay at Old Penang Guesthouse. However, I believe the bed that I use has bed bugs.
