Red Inn Cabana Reviews

service was friendly, location was great, cleanliness was top-notch except for the musty smell in the bedrooms. it would also be more convenient if the private bedrooms were allowed more than one key.

Helpful staff with impressive complimentary services provided by the hotel.

It was a very nice place. I moved to another hostel because I wanted to socialize more and that was a bit hard here. Also, the blanket I got was hardly a blanket: 120x120 cm or something and it seemed more like a towel. They wanted to charge me for an additional blanket. The woman who helped me check in was very friendly and helpful. Another woman seemed a bit uninterested and didn't put much effort into answering my questions for directions.

So good hostel I've ever stayed

Staff is kind and helpful. Hotel has a realy good position but there was very loud by night that you cannot sleep well (you will heard a not to good singers and very loud music every night until to very late hours).

I was a bit disappointed to find that the room only had two beds and not three as the web site had advised.

I have booked two rooms - 1 DBL + 1 SGL....the DBL is fine but there was no flatsheet under the blanket for the SGL. My friend felt a bit upset on this as she was uncomfortable to be covered with the blanket only during sleep. Other than that, the towel and the pillow case to be a bit dirty. The most irritating issue to her was mosquitoes flying inside the room making noise as well as biting her in her eyebow as well as fingers. This biting made her to be single-eyed onthe other day......

Try the red garden court for dinner. It's excellent cheap and 10 meters from the hotel Day time give a shot to Indian streets around

Newley refurbished and very clean, it is good value for money. However, as mentioned by other reviewers, it is next to a night hawker centre which plays loud music until about 1am. My biggest problem was with the breakfast. The breakfast went from 8.30 to 10.30am, however when we came out of our room onto the common room where it was held at 8.50am both days, nothing was left, to be told we should have been earlier if we wanted it. Given food is so cheap in Penange, not good enough.

The Red Garden food market is next door and the music goes on til 1am!! Other than that, it's a brilliant place to stay in Penang

Breakfast was fantastic :)

Lovely hostel, right next to food court and chocolate shop! Stayed in three bed, en suite room - clean, wifi, air con. Nice lounge and outdoor space also

First of my impression to this hostel, is really nice and good in design and environment... especially the cleanliness, really perfect! The staff at here also quite friendly....but the thing need to be improved is the information for traveling is much less...and at the first time very hard to find the location of the hostel since there is no obvious sign board to show the location. At night time, the singing performance beside the hostel, also a bit noisy...but overall its a nice hostel to stay!

overpriced and overrated. if i hadn't already paid for the room i would have left. so dissapointing.

Very nice and clean place to stay with good location. Nice and friendly staff. Nothing really to complain.

Nice interior. Pretty clean. Good breakfast, but get there early. Occasional hole in the wall leads to gnats and mosquitos biting you while in the bathroom or in your room, but beyond that, a good place to stay. Prices were slightly higher during chinese new year.

I had a lovely stay here...stayed in a single room with ensuite (as dorm wasnt available) and then moved into a 6 bed dorm. Very tidy and nice big fluffy white towels lol. Right next door to a food night market and yes it gets loud but it but it is managable. Great food though, everywhere! Enjoy x

When we stayed (late Jan 2012) the night market next door had live music until 1am. It was made worse by the fact that the windows are just shutters, which allow all the noise and bugs to flood into the room. Beds were very comfortable though.

Had a a good stay at the red inn cabana. The place was very clean and new from the bedroom to the bathroom. The only annoyance was the noise in the morning, we were situated on the hallway which led the the breakfast area and the footsteps were extremely loud from about 5am constantly which woke us up each morning, this needs to be sorted out! It is located next to a great covered food court well worth visiting, though their music is easily heard from the hostel into the night. Blanket smelt a b

I loved the friendliness of all staff except for one sour faced receptionist, who grumbled at everything - she even saw fit to grumble about my daily request for fresh towels! The hotel is very clean, conveniently located next to a food center. I was a bit hesitant to book a room here for 2 reasons i.e. (a) the sour faced receptionist I encountered on a previous trip and (b) the reviews about the noise level - it's quite tolerable! I'm glad we stayed here! We're coming back in Feb & May 2012!
