Good hostel for lady solo travelers! The location is awesome, you can explore George Town by walking from the hostel. You can fill up drinking water from hostel as well. The owner was very nice with me, she gave me a lot of information about traveling there. I think they just need lockers for keeping stuff.

Thank you to the friendly shop owner for providing such a great resting environment, which added to the beauty of my trip to Penang. My roommates are all quiet, the atmosphere is good, and the hygiene is qualified. I will choose this place again next time I come!

I was here at a solo female traveler. The owner was so friendly and so courteous she helped me so much and im so thankful for that. I felt really safe in that hostel and the location was great. Everything you need was just a few minutes walk away. The room was clean and everything was organized Would definitely come again

The facilities are not the latest, but the host was very kind. I think the clientele is limited to women, so I was able to stay safely even as a solo traveler. There are no personal lockers, so I recommend bringing a lock to secure your bed (although I didn't see any suspicious people there). There are lots of delicious restaurants nearby!

Very satisfied, the room is spacious and bright. It is very friendly to tourists who don't dare to stay in a hotel alone and need to stay in a hostel. The owner is also very welcoming. Highly recommended!
