This place has a very good location in a nice and quet street. Near to a supermarket and several shopping malls, bus station is also nearby. Really appreciated to use the fully equipped shared kitchen. The staff and the owner is kind and helpful. I had one of the private rooms at first floor, a few tings in the room should me fixed/mantained..rooms has an intresting 2floor solution that is kind of functioning quite well for the given space..mostly very quiet at the whole stay. Will hopefully return in the future.

I stayed in a dorm with four beds, so i could hear voices from the next room. 5 minutes from gama shopping mall, komtar, and 1st avenue. Selfcheck in and out. Towels, blankets, shampoo, and soap are provided. The shower room and toilet are cleaned. The staff is very nice.

The private room was spacious with a bedroom and lounge area, plenty of space, a comfortable bed, and air conditioning worked well. The walls were very thin so you could hear everything from other rooms and bathrooms, but it was quiet from early so not a problem. Good location on a quiet street. Close to central bus station, main mall and many cafes and restaurants. Only 10 minutes walk to the old town area. The owner was friendly and helpful, check in was easy and the kitchen was a good size.

Stayed in the mixed dormitory. The bed is clean and comfortable, and it's nice to see that they have a socket available for every bed. Shower rooms come with heater and soap (yay!). And yes, you can have as many cream crackers as you like at the snack station. Was literally munching them away at 2 in the morning LOL. Oh, there's a cool water dispenser too - not many hostels would offer water dispensers for the price I am paying for! :) Really satisfied! Very close to 1st Avenut and the KOMTAR Bus Terminal, as well as the famous coffee shops at Lebuh Presgrave. I'd definitely recommend this for others hehe!

Best experience in unforgettable trip. They have extremely friendly host who helped out on our first trip to Penang by introducing us the area around, which saved us the time to figure out what to look out for(eg. stall operating hours, traveling time, mode of transport etc). It was unforgettable that the host even offered to fetch us to our destination around that area early in the wee hours since it is hard to grab a transport at that time.

Hotel ini sangat cocok untuk berlibur bersama teman-teman tanpa anak-anak. Tempat ini tidak ramai walaupun terletak di tengah kota. Tersorok tetapi masih dapat ditemukan. Kamarnya kecil dengan tempat tidur loteng di lantai atas. Harganya masuk akal dan kebersihannya juga terjaga. Saya sangat merekomendasikan hotel ini.

Ideal for backpackers, a very pleasant stay at this hostel, the bedroom was small but comfortable. The only downside is that the walls are so small that you can hear everything that happened in the hallway and next door. The shower is hot or cold ok and the toilets are cleaned daily. The staff were kind and gave good advice on the bus and places to visit. There are many restaurants nearby.

The owner, faye, and chris were very welcoming. Reasonable prices for a pleasant room and a prime location. We arrived after midnight on a night flight and chris stayed up to greet us. The next morning he waited for us (we got up very late) to give us a quick introduction to penang and his recommendations. He didnt have to, it was a bonus. The only downside was the renovations that were ongoing during our stay. Drills and knocks started as early as 8 a.M. When we really needed to sleep that morning. Looking past it, its a really great place to stay! The bathroom and room were clean.

Saya pasti akan merekomendasikan hotel ini jika Anda tinggal di Georgetown. Dou Houz terletak di lokasi yang bagus dan kamarnya bersih.

The place is clean and bug free. Comfortable and a good stay for those looking for a simple, cheaper stay.

4.8/53 Jan 2024

The room is nice and decent, can accommodate up to 4 people. The price is reasonable and affordable per night. Very close to the komtar bus station. It comes with air conditioning and a personal but small washroom. Does provide privacy, but sliding glass and semi transparent glass panels provide transparency and a slight insecurity. But overall great experience.

Quiet place in the city center. Plenty of space, various types of accommodations, fully functional kitchen, and clean refrigerator.
