    “Home away from home”

    I have to admit that my first impression of this hostel wasn't good initially, but after staying for more than 2 weeks, I have had beautiful experiences there and even made friends with some of the guests there. Kudos to Kuya Efren, who is always making sure that the things in the hostel are in tip-top shape, to Alice who gave me tips on where to go to see interesting places, to Siti who first checked me in and to Raja who cleans the rooms. The hostel is not new, but they make sure that the guests feel at home by providing places to hang-out if you are tired from gallivanting around the beautiful city of Penang. They also provide a simple breakfast of toast (with margarine and 2 kinds of marmalade), watermelon and coffee or tea (with creamer and sugar too). You can ask for your towel to be changed daily, yes, daily! (major plus point for me) The hostel is quite old but it has its own charm, and they try their best to upgrade things within reason, after all, it is a budget hostel. Another plus point is (there are too many to mention actually), it is very near to many places of interest such as Little India, Chulia Street, Armenian Street, Mesjid Kapitan Keling, a famous Buddhist temple where many devotees visit on a daily basis, St. George's Anglican church (one of the oldest in Southeast Asia) and there's a Hindu temple nearby too (pretty much covering all the bases :)). There is also a nearby cafe (Cafe Little Angel - highly recommended) that sells Chinese food (non-Halal though), but the price is reasonable and the sell delish food! If you want to go classy, Firewood Restaurant (a Michelin 2025 resto) is also near. I definitely recommend this hostel to my family and friends. I will definitely stay in this hostel again when I am in Penang. Regards to Weim, a very helpful and friendly guest.

    “The best value for money I’ve had so far in Malaysia”

    The best value for money I’ve had so far in Malaysia! I stayed in the shared female dormitory and had a great experience. The sheets and towels were very clean, the shower had good water pressure, and a complimentary breakfast was included. Coffee and tea were available all day, which I really appreciated. I also loved the selection of books available. The reception staff were very friendly and always happy to help. I was especially glad I could wash my clothes and hang them to dry behind the building, something essential for me as a long term traveler with a small backpack. Overall, I was very happy and had everything I needed here. Highly recommended! Thank you, beautiful people!

    “Solid Value for Red Inn Court Hotel Penang”

    I stayed here recently and found the location incredibly convenient—just a short walk to Chulia Street and key cultural sites. The budget-friendly rooms are modest but clean, and the shared bathrooms are maintained adequately. The staff were especially friendly and attentive, which enhanced the pleasant atmosphere. The breakfast was simple—bread and coffee—but not particularly memorable. While the property shows its age and lacks luxurious amenities, it offers solid value, especially for travelers prioritizing location and affordability.

    “Great value for money”

    I stayed in one of the bunk beds and had a wonderful experience. The room was clean, cozy, and private enough thanks to the curtains. The staff were so kind and welcoming — they really made me feel at home. Breakfast was simple (toast and coffee) but appreciated. The location is perfect, right in the heart of George Town, walking distance to street art, food, and sights. Would definitely stay again! 🤍🙏🏻💙

    “Comfortable twin room with plenty of storage space.”

    The room had both a fan and air conditioning. The A/C couldn’t be adjusted, so it felt a bit too cold, but it wasn’t a big issue since the fan was available if needed. The shared bathroom was clean and comfortable. Basic breakfast included (toast with jam and coffee or tea). Great location, close to Little India and some of the most interesting streets in George Town.
