At first, I was quite shocked by the room I was given because it had not been cleaned yet. The room was dirty and the bed linens hadn’t been changed. I immediately informed the staff about the situation.
After I told them, the staff explained that the room was actually not supposed to be given out due to an air-conditioning issue, and that was why it hadn’t been prepared. They then moved me to another room.
Overall, the replacement room was clean, comfortable and in good condition. The staff were very responsive and cooperative in solving the issue. Although the stay started off poorly, the staff’s quick action helped improve the overall experience.
this is a cosy little hotel. it's in a nice location and eothin steps to local bus stop and a short walk to komtar bus terminal too. i do like the hotel but i do have some sincere suggestions to hotel operator to make this hotel a little nicer next time.
1. the indian livehouse next door does pump loud music from 10pm-2pm. hotel should try a thick curtain on the windows to absorb the sound. sound absorbing curtain are inexpensive if buy direct from china.
2. hotel staff should replenish toilet paper daily in common toilets. instay there 6 days and notice they do so only every 2 days.
3. all the pillows are super high and hard ones. toilet should purchase some medium height softer ones that guest can ask upon request.
thank you
I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The property features a well-designed interior and is maintained to a very high standard of cleanliness. Its location is excellent, with easy access to many dining options nearby, and it is very convenient for getting around or booking a Grab. The staff were consistently friendly, helpful, and professional throughout my stay. Overall, this hotel is a suitable and excellent choice for anyone visiting Penang. I would gladly stay here again in the future.

I booked this hotel for friends, and they really enjoyed their stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very kind and helpful. Everything went smoothly with the check-in, and the location was convenient. I'm happy with the choice and would book it again
I booked the balcony room for 2 night
The first night I got the balcony room but it was so small.
But gratefully I can change for the second day.
So next time u book a balcony room, make sure to book room no. 205
Bigger and the bathroom has a huge door to the balcony as well.
The location is soooooo convenient. Bus no. 101 and 102 literally stop next to the hotel.
The other bus line is just a 5 minute walk.
Many street food nearby
This was a real gem! 🏨✨ Unboxing a hotel with amazing value for money!
The room was ridiculously spacious! 😂
✔️ Two double beds + two single beds
✔️ A sofa and a refrigerator
✔️ Most importantly, there's a huge kitchen! I felt like I could just move in right away! 😆
📍The location is also very convenient.
Nearby attractions are just a few minutes' drive away, so getting around is easy.
I booked it on Trip.com, and the ratings were quite high, so it was definitely worth it!
Of course, there were a few minor drawbacks 🤣 There's a natural alarm clock 🐔 to wake you up in the morning, and the water pipes occasionally make a little noise.
Overall, for this price, it's really great! 👍 I'd definitely stay here again!
The location is great, lively, but I didn't hear any street noises while sleeping.
The cleanliness was so-so; there was hair on the bed, and no toilet paper in the bathroom.
The Wi-Fi was infuriatingly bad, absolutely terrible, and the staff knew but didn't fix it. Surprisingly, the Wi-Fi signal was better in the shopping mall (this hostel is located in a shopping mall, hence the description). In other words, the Wi-Fi signal was better outside the hostel than inside the mall!
Also, because it was self-check-in, contacting staff was sometimes difficult; many people were waiting at the door for a reply.
Originally, it was for two nights, but it was changed to one night.
When on to a vacation in Penang and choose to stay at Yan Hotel, 1st of all about this hotel is the strategy of this place which is very convenience and neraby to almost all the tourism attraction restaurants. The price also reasonable for room space given. There is only one issue is the placement of the aircond is not on the correct way of air flow as the bed is place on one side and the the aircond was fixed towards the other direction. So it not helpful or feel comfortable. This issue hope the management can fix.. since they upgrading and renovating the hotel this should be helpful for them to take notice. Overall a good stay there all the staffs are good and helpful except one chinese guy wear specs was so rude and no manners at all to behave towards customers.
The accommodation is in the heart of the tourist area, with staff available 24/7. Downstairs there are restrooms, a vending machine, and a microwave. The rooms are quite soundproofed, and the beds are very comfortable. The room was clean, but the glasses had signs of use, some with lipstick marks. The water was bottled, so I wasn't entirely confident drinking it. Overall, I liked it. Booking a room for four people made the price very cheap when shared.
Very Good

Lovely place to stay Helpful owner was very patient and friendly Nearby airport and shopping mall Can be more clean ☺️ but still acceptable
Ka Men was really nice and made my vacation experiences in Penang feel great. The location is really close to main attractions, around 5-20 mins walking distance. And so close to bus stations. My room is also perfect for solo or couple travellers. A bit noisy because of it is near to bus main road. Overall is 👍
For travellers who travel by train, the location is excellent, walkable to the train station. Why walk when you can get a grab car easily? To walk off all the rich food we eat! The hotel is also within walking distance to the ferry terminal (Penang Sentral). So if you arrive via ferry from Georgetown, no problem! I walked to the ferry terminal to take a ferry to Georgetown! Adding to the convenience, there is a supermarket and self service laundromat near the hotel. The hotel has a lift, which is convenient, if you are assigned a higher floor. No need to carry yourself and your luggage to your room. But no chance to work off the extra calories. I'm not complaining, though Reception is 24 hours. I had to leave very early as I had an early train to catch, but was able to collect back the RM50 deposit. Oh yes, RM2 was collected during check in. Trip.com had informed me at the time of booking, so this is not a surprise to me The room that was assigned to me is spacious. The bathroom is well laid out. Shower on one side, WC on another side and sink in the middle. Shower gel was provided. Shampoo was not provided. It might be because the gadget for the shampoo container was broken. I booked a windowless room. But because it was spacious, I did not miss not having a window. I paid a higher price for my room, I don't know why my receipt showed a much lower price. In summary, I would stay in this hotel again if I go again to Butterworth Pictures 1: Aircon lobby - such a welcomed relief when coming in from the hot and humid weather 2. The hotel's room rated 3. My room rate, which is different from what I had paid in advance to trip.com 4. Door to the bathroom 5. Above the WC, racks for drying wet stuff, very hardy 7.The missing shampoo container 6.The ceiling of the lift - pretty and classy 8. Don't lose your receipt. You need it to claim back your deposit 9. The supermarket nearby 10. The laundromat
Nice budget hotel in a convenient location. The room was clean and comfortable for a short stay, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Great option if you’re looking for an affordable stay near Bayan Lepas and the airport
Overall, the experience at the hotel was really fun, there are many good features about it, such as the location, and the facilities. And the price is affordable too. Thanks for a wonderful time.
